1. Choose according to your needs
Electric scooters are small means of transportation, and they also have their own limitations. At present, most of the scooters on the market advertise light weight and portability, but not many are really realized. Pursuing the ultimate in any function means compromising another function. If you pursue higher battery life, it means that the battery capacity is large, and the weight of the whole vehicle will definitely not be light. If you pursue portability, it means that the body will be as small as possible, and the riding comfort will not be so high. Therefore, before you buy a scooter, first understand your purpose, whether you need a product that is lightweight and easy to carry, a product that is comfortable to ride, or a product that needs a distinctive appearance. One thing to keep in mind is that no product is light, comfortable, and goes far. If you understand this, then let me introduce to you how to choose the configuration for each requirement.
2. How much cruising range is more appropriate?
High battery life is a point that businesses are trying to promote, especially online publicity is even more dazzling. First we need to see how big the battery is. Then we figure out its theoretical endurance. 36V1AH is about 3km, 48V1AH is about 4km, 52V1AH is about 4.5km, 60V1AH is about 5km (for reference only, the industry estimated value of medium and upper battery quality is 80%, and does not represent the actual. Weight, temperature, wind speed, air pressure, road conditions, riding habits will affect the battery life.)
As an ordinary consumer, I recommend buying a mileage of about 30km, and the mainstream electric scooters are in this range. The price will be moderate, and it can also meet the needs of short-distance travel.
If you are a driver, the cruising range you require must not be less than 50km. Although the battery is large, the price will be more expensive, but after all, this is a tool for you to earn extra money for driving, and insufficient mileage will inevitably affect your connection. number of orders, so this point is very important
3. What is the weight of the car to be considered convenient?
Lightweight is also one of the reasons why electric scooters attract everyone to try to buy them. They are small in size and can be used in elevators, subways, and buses, and can be carried with you. This also depends on your specific use case. If you need to carry it into the subway or on the bus, the volume of the car should be smaller and the weight should be within 15kg. If it exceeds 15kg, it is more difficult to carry. After all, many subway entrances do not have elevator escorts throughout the journey. If you want to go to the 5th floor in one go, it is certainly not an easy task. If you have your own private car, which is mainly stored in the trunk, and occasionally goes into and out of the subway, it is acceptable that the weight of the car is less than 20kg. If the weight goes up, it cannot be counted in the portable range.
4. How big is the motor to meet the climbing requirement?
Usually, the power of electric scooters is around 240w-600w. The specific climbing ability is not only related to the power of the motor, but also related to the voltage. Under the same circumstances, the climbing strength of 24V240W is not as good as that of 36V350W. Therefore, if you usually travel on a road with many slopes, it is recommended to choose a voltage above 36V and a motor power above 350W. If you need to climb the slope of the underground garage, it is best to choose a 48V500W or more, which can also protect the motor better. However, in actual riding, many people will reflect that the climbing ability of the car is not as good as advertised, which is also related to the load capacity.
5. Choose a business with a good service attitude
Electric scooters are not like apparel products, which can be thrown away when worn. In the process of using it, there may be some problems. When we can’t solve it by ourselves, we need the help of the business, especially girls with weak hands-on ability. Many merchants put too much energy into pre-sale, and they are also struggling to cope with after-sale issues. Therefore, before purchasing, some agreements about after-sales should be confirmed. How long is the vehicle warranty for the points that need to be confirmed? How long is the warranty for accessories like battery controllers? The more detailed this kind of problem is confirmed, the more you can avoid wrangling as much as possible after a problem occurs in the later stage, so as not to consume the energy of both parties
