Choosing the right electric scooter

1. Study your needs in km!

To choose your electric scooter, it is important to carefully assess your daily journeys, both now and in the years to come.

2. A lithium battery or nothing

All new scooters you will find on the market feature Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology. Having supplanted lead-acid, nickel-cadmium (NiCd), and nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH), the lithium battery is lighter, less bulky, easier to charge and its autonomy is longer.

3. A removable battery or nothing

Prefer a removable battery, it is much more practical. You don't have time to roam the city looking for a charging station. A removable battery can be removed from the vehicle, transported like a briefcase, and plugged into any outlet. Do you have big, intensive trips? Never mind, choose a dual battery system.

4. The number of charge cycles

College-high school physics classes: Ah, V, kWh! Basically, the higher these numbers, the greater the range of the vehicle, and the vehicle will be fun to drive.

Ah = Ampere per hour. It is an indicator of the battery capacity, therefore of the range of the vehicle.

V = The voltage measured in Volts. The higher it is, the more lively and pleasant the vehicle will be to drive (more nervous) kWh = KiloWatt hour = V x AH, all divided by 1000. The higher this figure, the better the range. 

5. Rated power

Expressed in W or kW, this is the main data to be taken into account, which indicates whether the vehicle has good acceleration, good climbing capacity, quickly reaches its top speed, etc. It is also the one that determines the category of your scooter and therefore the ecological bonus of the state from which you will benefit.

6. Engine brands

As with the battery, you will want to check the make of the motor. Engines are made by manufacturers whose reputations you often know. This can give you a valuable indication of the reliability, power, robustness, and longevity of your machine.

7. Peak power

Also called peak power, this is the maximum power that an engine can achieve over a very short period of time. Electric scooters have one obvious advantage: they are less complex machines than other vehicles. But you won't get far with just a motor and a battery! There is also everything else. Here are some tips for comparing the quality of different models down to the smallest detail.

7. Braking equipment

Most of the selected models are equipped with front and rear hydraulic disc brakes with a CBSABS function and braking energy recovery function.

9. Wheel size

Most scooters come with 10-14 inch wheels. Larger wheels are more suitable for extra-urban roads and offer better handling. 

10. The frame and the fork

They are decisive in assessing stiffness and weight. The frame can be made of heavy-duty steel alloys, chromium-molybdenum alloys, aluminium alloys, or composite materials.
