An electric scooter is a scooter that drives an electric motor. In general, the design of a conventional scooter has been added: an electric motor mounted in a wheel, a battery, a control unit, as well as throttle and brake levers. Try to buy original electric scooters, not fakes.
The main priority rule is to decide for what purpose the electric scooter is being bought. It depends on the goals how often you will have to carry the scooter, for example in public transport, how often you will have to leave it on the street (parking), the quality of the road surface on which you are going to cover the distances. The weight and power of the future scooter will depend on this.
Grigory Samsonov, Senior Electric Vehicle Repairman, helped us prepare a rating of the best electric scooters.
Power - better 350-500 W (watts). We do not recommend taking less than 350 watts, it will not pull. The more power of the motor, the larger the size of the scooter itself, its weight and price will be, so that the golden mean is 350-500 W (watts).
Maximum speed - not less than 25 km / h. This speed is sufficient for beginners. The higher the maximum speed, the higher the price. At speeds up to 30 km / h, it is convenient and pleasant to operate any scooter.
Power reserve and battery capacity - from 30 km will be enough for beginners. It makes no sense to take less. Capacity is measured in Wh (watt-hours). It is very easy to calculate the approximate mileage. Take the capacity in Wh and divide by 10. For example, divide 310 Wh by 10, you get 31. This means that an electric scooter can travel about 31 km.
Wheel size - The larger the wheel diameter, the softer the electric scooter will be and the easier it is to operate, but the heavier it will be. Wheels with a diameter of 8 inches are the absolute average here. In second place is the diameter of 10 inches.
