Powerful electric scooters: varieties and tips for choosing

Nowadays, you will not surprise anyone with a compact vehicle. One such vehicle is the electric scooter. Consider in the article the variety of powerful electric scooters and the features of choosing such a vehicle.

To maintain a balance between dynamic and safe driving, you need to clearly understand for what purpose the electric scooter is purchased, as well as take into account the existing driving skills.

Beginners and teenagers should not chase high speed, because without proper experience, you can inflict various injuries on yourself. But already more or less adult drivers can afford more powerful models. For a visual representation, we use a special table.

Among the most powerful and fast models of electric scooters there are several best ones that differ in certain features:

• high speed;
• high power;
• compactness and maneuverability;
• comfortable ride.

This electric scooter model was recognized as the best in 2018 according to three criteria:speed, power and carrying capacity. This high performance is ensured by an incredibly powerful motor (approx. 6000 W). And if necessary, the device can be ridden by two people at once (it can withstand up to 200 kg).

A beautiful and stylish electric scooter with high power (1000 W) and excellent speed performance. It differs from other models with bright illumination, which not only improves the design of the vehicle, but also increases visibility at night. Users have not yet had time to discover serious shortcomings, since the model appeared on the market relatively recently, but has already managed to recommend itself from the best side.

The model is the fifth representative of the mini series and differs from previous versions by correcting many shortcomings. Incorrect speedometer readings were excluded. The shock absorbers have become better, and now the ride on this unit has become much more comfortable. But buyers note poor-quality assembly - the steering part is poorly welded to the main mechanism. And also it should be said about the long charging time - up to 8 hours.

This scooter can be safely called a legend of scooter construction, while the manufacturer is constantly making improvements to its design, increasing the performance of the device. The engine is quite powerful (500 W), the battery is 17000 mAh. Front and rear shock absorbers are soft. And also for the convenience of driving, there is a special seat. It is very soft and can adjust its position both vertically and horizontally.

All electric scooters can be divided into many groups according to some criteria. Here are the main ones.

• Age categories. They are determined by the age of the driver and are mainly divided into 2 groups: for children and for adults. The first are light, bright, miniature "toys" weighing no more than 10 kg, with low power.

• Place of use. Here we can highlight the operation in urban environments, where compactness, maneuverability and, of course, elegance are important. And also some use scooters in villages where high cross-country ability is needed and, accordingly, a larger wheel diameter and high ground clearance. It can also be noted that powerful electric scooters allow you to cover the distance between cities.

• Battery type. We distinguish two types here: Li-Ion and lead-acid batteries. The former (lithium-ion) are similar in charge and characteristics to lithium-polymer and are highly sensitive to shaking. However, it is they who are capable of recharging a huge number of times. Lead-acid batteries are cheaper and lose their charge quickly in cold weather. They are heavy, bulky, take a long time to charge, but they explode less often and cost very little money. Comparison of these two types of batteries is inappropriate - each has its own characteristics.

Using any modern device, many consumers are interested in knowing what principle of action is incorporated in it. The electric scooter, although it performs many functions, is quite simple in structure.

The principle of operation of an electric scooter is in the use of energy accumulated in the battery, with the help of which the entire mechanism is set in motion... Moreover, it is controlled by a special device - a controller.

All this is based on what is happening inside the apparatus itself. But the driver can also control the behavior of his iron friend in the same way. The main command is the position of the accelerator handle, as well as information from the tilt angle sensor (gyroscope).

Feedback has become an important function of new modern models of electric scooters, which allows the wheels to spin freely while coasting. This makes it easier to climb the hill and relieves the load on the engine.

So that your faithful iron friend will serve for more than one year, it is imperative to study all its features, of which there are not so many.

• Charge the battery fully before driving for the first time.
• After each use of the device, the drive must be fully charged.
• When winter comes, you should either fully charge the battery after each use, or discharge it completely and store it in a cool place.
• Be sure to find out the approximate time to fully charge your battery (often 6-8 hours). If you recharge, then sad consequences (breakdown, explosion) are possible.
• Almost all batteries have a charge indicator that shows when they are fully charged. Be sure to use this property.
• Do not trust young children to operate the scooter without adult supervision.
• Wipe down the vehicle after each drive.
• It is better not to ride in rainy weather, as water can get into open areas and break the device.
• If any malfunction occurs, you should immediately contact the service center.

When choosing this vehicle, it is imperative to take into account a number of features that determine the facts of the further operation of the device. Let's figure out the main criteria - this will help you choose the right option.

• Power. The smallest models are scooters from Chinese manufacturers, and often this figure does not exceed 500-700 watts. The optimal performance is considered to be a power of 1000-2000 W, and if you want more, you will have to set aside a certain amount and purchase a model with a capacity of 6000 watts. But such specimens are quite rare in the world and are expensive.

• Speed. Considering this parameter, it should be understood that a low speed (10-25 km / h) is enough for comfortable movement on such transport. However, such models are suitable for inexperienced and children, and older people can afford speed indicators above 50 km / h.

• Wheels. The best choice is 8-10 inches tires. This provides a stable soft ride and more or less normal cross-country ability. If you take wheels with a smaller radius, then, most likely, you will not be able to overcome even small bumps on the road.

• Dimensions. The lower this indicator, the better in most cases, since this facilitates its storage and transportation. And also on some models there are seats, which, on the one hand, is a very convenient solution, and on the other hand, it increases the dimensions of the device.

• Equipment. It can be said that it is not such an important parameter, but it does exist. Usually, instructions, fasteners, bolts and assembly tools are placed in the box with the device. But there are manufacturers who equip their creations with a replaceable battery, special charger or additional lighting fixtures.

• Depreciation. An important parameter responsible for the comfort of movement. Better to choose a model equipped with a suspension. Front and rear shock absorbers absorb vibration, softening the ride on uneven roads.

• Backlight. If you often travel on a scooter at night at speeds above 25 km / h, then lighting will become an integral part. They will see you, and you will see.
