When traveling, or on your daily leisure ride, it is important to know the range of your electric scooter to determine if it is suitable for your needs.
Many factors affect range, including terrain, rider weight, load, incline, and distance.
In this article, we will look at the regular uses of electric scooters and the basic parameters that are sufficient for traveling or recreational sightseeing, as long as it is done on a flat road.
Leisure Electric Scooters Basic Information
First of all, let’s assume that the activity of sightseeing is carried out on a flat road, within 65kg (143lbs) of body weight, and the weather is suitable, with a temperature of 23°C. Then, the electric scooter needs to meet.
|
Range
|
Whether it’s a leisure ride or a long-distance trip such as traveling, if you don’t want to run out of power on the way and be unable to go forward or return, range must be the first priority. Electric scooters generally have a range of 20km (12 miles) or more. Confirm the range provided by the supplier beforehand, and reserve about 20% of the mileage on this basis, so as to be safer.
|
|
Motor
|
The more powerful the motor, the more load/climbing/power. If it’s just in an area with flat, easy roads, then a 350W motor will be enough. If it’s a little bit of a gentle slope, we recommend 500W and above electric scooters for better insurance.
|
|
Weight-carrying capacity
|
Check the manufacturer’s weight limitations for motorized scooters and choose one that can carry the weight of you and the items you need to carry for safety and stability.
|
|
Brake System
|
A good braking system ensures personal safety. Braking systems are categorized as follows
|
|
Body material and structure
|
Choose sturdy and durable materials and structures to ensure the stability and safety of the electric scooter.
Electric scooters with removable seats are more comfortable, less fatiguing for long-time riding, suitable for long-distance riding, more stable and safer.
|
|
Tyre type and size
|
Choose the right type and size of tire for your usage and needs for better handling and comfort. The larger the tire size, the greater the safety.
Tires are classified as follows:
Solid tires: will not blow out, no need to inflate, easy to use, but less comfortable on bumpy roads.
Pneumatic tires: have better shock absorption and comfort for long-distance riding, but require regular inspection and inflation, and there is a risk of puncture.
|
|
Lighting System
|
Safety and security for night riding. The front light is used to illuminate the road ahead, the tail light is used to alert vehicles and pedestrians behind, and the turn signal is used to signal a turn or lane change. These lighting systems increase the safety of the electric scooter and ensure that the vehicle can be clearly seen even at night or in dimly lit conditions.
|
|
Load Capacity
|
Optional. Carrying capacity is very important for users who have the need to store items, the electric scooter itself is just a transportation vehicle consisting of a skateboard plus an electric kit with a simple structure, while some electric scooters come with a carrying basket to place items, which is very practical.
|
|
Foldable
|
An electric scooter should be able to be stuffed into a car so that it is easy to carry.
|
|
Other Features
|
Consider whether features such as folding capabilities, water resistance, and suspension systems are needed to meet your individual needs and preferences.
|
How long does it take an electric scooter to travel 1 mile (1.6km)?
This is strongly correlated to the modal speed of the electric scooter, you can easily calculate how long it will take to ride 1mile (1.6km) based on the modal speed of the electric scooter, but this also depends on the road conditions, your weight, and whether there is a traffic jam.
The average speed of an electric scooter is between 10-20mph, which means it will take 3-6min if traffic is clear.
