Rating 2001: Good.
Price: € 1,405.54
 

 
The XPC from Yamaha has been the best-selling European variation worldwide since 1994. The sturdiness of the motor and the fact that it is virtually maintenance-free is as of yet unsurpassed in the market.

The Eco-Mode in combination with the NiMH Battery allowed for a range of 30 miles on the mixed track. On the same track, not including the steepest parts, a range of 40 miles was achieved.

All of the test riders wanted to switch to the Standard Mode on the inclines, because Eco- Mode didn’t provide enough power on hills.

Pros:
+ In Eco-Mode, very high range.

Cons:
- Eco-Mode is good for flat surfaces only.
- Very large charger.
