Anatomy of Electric Scooters

 All electric scooters have certain parts, but lets categorize the important ones first.

A. Frame: Deck, Stem, Handlebars, Folding Mechanism.

B. Mechanic Parts: Suspension, Brakes, Tires.

C. Electric Parts: Battery, Controller, lights, Display, Motor.

Battery: The Battery of an electric scooter is made up from cells that are assembled together. Batteries store energy in the cells and consume when needed from motor, accessories, lights etc. Batteries are rated in watt hours which is a measure of their capacity. The Capacity of the battery is the most important factor. Emove Cruiser has the longest range with the help of it's 30AH battery.

Controller: The controller sends power to the motor when the rider needs it.

The controller is an electronic component buried usually in the scooters deck and from there it controls the flow from the battery to the motor. The metal enclosure serves as a heat sync. The controller receives inputs from the accelerator and (electronic) brake controls and translates that into a current that is sent to the motor.

Controllers are rated based on the voltage and current they are able to regulate.

They can be a huge source of headache (or make the scooter unsafe) when things go wrong. On some poorly designed scooters controllers are known to fail or malfunction.

Motor: The electric scooters need a motor to create movement. This motors are called brushless hub because they are usually turned inside out – to swap the housing of the magnets that make the motor. By alternating the energized electromagnets and changing systematically, the brushless motor turns the shaft and propels the scooter.

Brakes: The brake of an electric scooter can be categorized in four different systems.

a. regenerating brakes where this system gets it's power from kinetic. This is one of the weakest brake system.

b. Drum brakes are activated by line cable. They are almost as effective as disc brake and generally require less maintenance, but are more complex to repair on.

c. Semi Hydraulic brakes that get triggered by a line cable to the calibre and move the hydraulic piston when activated. This system has a fairly strong braking power and are easily maintained.

d. Full Hydraulic brakes use hydraulic fluid from the lever all the way to the piston. When you squeeze the lever the pressure starts from the brake line all the way to the piston. This type of brake is the most powerful and does not need much maintenance.

Deck: The deck is called where the rider stand and usually it is made either by aluminium or even better by forged aluminium. Modern electric scooter decks can easily handle around 150 kg. Also in most cases the manufacturer stores into the deck the battery and controller to keep them safe. Emove Cruiser offers the best protection to it's electric parts with IP67 waterproof resistance.

Stem: The Stem is the neck of the scooter. It connects the deck with the handlebar and in most cases on the deck it connects to a folding mechanism. The folding mechanism is needed to help us with carrying the scooter and also to help us gain space to store it.

Suspension: The suspension of the electric scooter helps to improve ride quality and damping bumps in the road.

There are three main types of suspension systems that are typically found on electric scooters: spring, hydraulic or air piston, and rubber suspension. Scooters with the best suspension will have some combination of spring and piston — a combination called coil-over-hydraulic or coil-over-air.

Many scooters forgo suspension in favour of large pneumatic tires that provide damping effects. Large pneumatic tires can offer be a better form of suspension that cheap spring suspensions.

Tires: The tires given you traction to accelerate or brake in an emergency. Airless tires do not perform as well as pneumatic tires and get dangerous on wet surface.

Tires are your connection to the road and influence ride quality, traction, range, and braking performance of your electric kick scooter.

Tires come in basically two types: pneumatic and airless.

We always recommend pneumatic tires because they give better ride quality and their supple rubber performs much better in adverse road conditions.

Put a stop to Range anxiety!

 Range anxiety is real and don't be fooled, whether you are planning on commuting with an e-scooter or just joining some Group rides for the fun and making new friends, you need the range simply because you don't want to be the one that will do the walk of shame!

WHAT IS RANGE ANXIETY

Range anxiety is real and it is the fear that the electric vehicle won’t have sufficient charge to complete its duty, and it’s still perceived to be one of the greatest barriers preventing commuters to purchase an electric scooter for their commute.

MANUFACTURERS RANGE CLAIM

Most models of electric scooters on the market have a poor reputation for their real-world mileage range between charges. Riders are often finding that they can't get as many kilometres as they thought out of a fully charged battery, despite the manufacturers’ claim that a far greater mileage was possible.

WHEN CHOOSING,CHOOSE WISELY

So when you choose your favourite e-scooter, make sure you have done your research and that you have read and seen enough real reviews about it's real life range.

Because RANGE MATTERS!

Electric scooter guide group is one of the most accurate sources on reviewing e-scooters and has put most of the scooters on the market to the test:

Some of the top models when it comes down to range are:

1) The Emove Cruiser

Packed with a 30AH battery, running a single 600Watts motor, only 24kg and owned already by thousands of satisfied commuters around the globe is surely in the lead with 80km per charge in real life (Manufacturer claims up to 100km).

2)THE KAABO WOLF WARRIOR

This off road beast from Kaabo can be put up to the toughest tasks with its 35Ah Battery will take you up to 67km per charge in real life (manufacturers claim 112km).

3)THE QIEWA QPOWER

The Qiewa is packed with a 30AH battery and will reach up to 54km per charge in real life(manufacturers claim 80km).

Guide to the adult electric scooter

Electromotion  - There has been a sudden surge in the minds of people across the globe for scooters, particularly the electric scooters. They usually come in two forms, i.e., the electric scooter for kids and the electric scooters for the adults. Adult electric scooters are manufactured

more often and they are the most popular in the market. The children’s electric scooter has a weaker inbuilt internal body with lesser weight intake capacity. The adult electric scooters are also more expensive than the kid’s scooter. Companies like Emove, Kaabo and segway are popular in making electric adult scooters with a modern touch.

Most of the electric scooter come with optional seat attachments to make rides more comfortable. Attaching a seat to the electric scooter, however, takes away its folding ability and may thus eliminate one of the major advantages of the electric scooter. The motor, lights, suspension, and suspension are the tiny elements that make the scooter more comfortable.

The anatomy of the electric scooter is simple with a handful of different parts. The main part is the battery without which the electric scooter has no value. Each electric scooter is filled with battery packs that are made up of many individual cells assembled together. most of the electric scooters are made up of lithium-ion cells and some of the cheaper versions of electric scooters have lead-acid batteries as well.

The brakes of the electric adult scooter are of two types, the mechanical and the electronic categories. The mechanical brake system depends solely on the physical mechanism to control the scooter with equipment such as foot brakes, discs, and drums. While the electronic brake system relies on the electric and regenerative braking system. The mechanical brake system is seen to be more stronger and sturdy than the electric system. The speed controller is embedded inside the scooter that controls the flow of the current from the battery to the motor. The deck is the floor on which the rider stands. They have a textured finish and provides an excellent grip to enable the rider to ride comfortably.
