Jack Hot Electric Scooters Review

An electric scooter is a two- or three-wheeled vehicle driven by the transformation of electrical energy into mechanical energy. The transmission is carried out by means of a wheel motor - Shkondin wheels. The wheel motor is powered by a built-in battery and can act as a generator of electrical energy. Such scooters can be equipped with additional accounting devices and control mechanisms. Jack Hot is one of the leading companies selling adult and children's scooter vehicles.

The Jack Hot scooter, according to the set of technical characteristics, belongs to the middle class of this type of device. The main technical parameters of the models:

• maximum speed - 25-30 km / h;
• range - 40-50 km;
• lifting capacity - 100–125 kg;
• own weight - 7-9 kg;
• battery voltage - 24 and 36 v;
• capacity - 9.6 Ah.

These parameters are indicated in the ranges averaged for all Jack Hot models, since they may differ from model to model. Also, depending on the production batch, the accuracy of the technical data of the devices may vary even within the model range.

The maximum speed of the Jack Hot electric scooter can only be reached under the right conditions. In this case, the quality of the road surface is of particular importance. Such a scooter is designed for movement on a flat hard surface, since it does not have a high power reserve and sufficient torque. In everyday operating conditions, it will be difficult to achieve the maximum speed indicator without the risk of an emergency and a threat to human health.

In case of non-observance of safety measures and intensive use of the device on an unsuitable road surface, despite the presence of a margin of safety, it may fail. Structural damage during movement can also lead to a situation that is dangerous to life and health.

The maximum cruising range depends on the battery capacity, its state of charge and the nature of the terrain on which the scooter will move. Different model names can be equipped with different battery capacities.

Most of the Jack Hot scooters do not have a suspension. This significantly reduces the level of comfort during operation and reduces functionality. The lack of a softening factor when driving on uneven surfaces can be compensated by the carbon material from which the scooter deck is made.

The carbon deck has an acceptable margin of safety and resistance to deformation loads. However, the manufacturer has declared a limitation on the carrying capacity. The limit of this indicator is also relevant due to a proportional decrease in controllability with an increase in weight load. Too much weight when maneuvering can lead to a pendulum effect. Due to this people weighing over 100 kg are not recommended to use such an electric scooter.

The self-weight of the scooter makes it easier to transport it when folded. The low mass index makes it possible to carry it in the hands without significant effort.

The stock model of the Jack Hot electric scooter has two wheels, a deck - a flat footrest, a steering rack, a steering wheel, a battery, a lighting unit and additional complete additions, the names of which vary depending on the model.

The front wheel is the driving wheel. A wheel electric motor is located inside its rim. The wheel disc on the sides is protected by durable plastic covers, which protects the engine from dirt, dust and sand from the outside. On the rim of the wheel there is an elastic and durable rubber incomplete tire, on which a tread pattern is applied. A hub connects the drive wheel to the steering rack fork.

The steering column is upright with only a slight slope towards the driver. Made of durable aluminum alloy or carbon fiber. Inside the rack is a tubular battery. This solution avoids the use of additional wires and insulating materials, because the battery is located directly above the electric motor. In the same place (on the steering column housing) there is a charger connector, which is equipped with a plug that prevents moisture and dust from entering it.

In the upper part of the rack there is a horizontal steering wheel. In most Jack Hot models, the steering rack consists of two tubes that are screwed to the rack. When folding the scooter, the handles are dismantled by twisting. Such their arrangement and method of fastening allow you to avoid backlash and knocks while driving, as is the case with folding handles.

The front block of the device (wheel and steering rack) is attached to the main part of the scooter - the deck. The fastening mechanism is also a folding mechanism that allows you to lower the steering rack to the deck and lock it in position. When folded, the steering column and deck are parallel to each other. The fastening mechanism is equipped with Euro bolts with hexagonal sweat, which allows it to be completely disassembled for servicing.

The deck is a flat foot pad with an anti-slip coating... To increase its strength, stiffeners are provided. Width and length may differ depending on the model, but these differences are not significant.

The rear wheel is attached to the deck with a hub. It is made in the form of a cast chrome-plated disc of various configurations. Just like the front wheel, the rear wheel is equipped with a durable rubber tire that does not puncture. A splash guard for the rear wheel is provided for protection against splashing, which is also equipped with a brake function. To activate it, you must press the wing with your foot, which is closer to the rear wheel.

The rear braking mechanism is not the only one. The front wheel unit is also equipped with a regenerative braking system. This system works on the principle of returning electricity back to the system. Its function is as follows: when braking occurs (i.e., the motor does not need to run to accelerate), the engine switches to generator mode and recharges the battery.

The latest models of Jack Hot scooters are equipped with a front suspension, which is made in the form of a spring with a vibration damper. This addition does not fully compensate for vibration, but reduces the load on the steering rack and all the mechanisms in it.

The steering foil has a display that provides an overview of speed, distance and battery status. Most modern models have a circular controller built into the top end of the steering column.

Most of the feedback from users of Jack Hot electric scooters comes down to positive statements. This line of two-wheeled vehicles has a narrowly targeted area of ​​use, however When used correctly, these scooters can become an indispensable addition and make life more comfortable.

Among the reviews of the owners, there are also negative ones. Such characteristics do not relate to any implicit technical flaws, but only to the discrepancy between the capabilities of the scooter and the level declared by one or another user.

Each scooter is equipped with a specific charger of the corresponding electrical level. It is compact (like a laptop charger) and operates on a 220 v network.
