How to Choose an Electric Scooter?
by Robert Johnson Blogs on Latest NewsElectric scooters are incredible for short rides and
even better when it comes to avoiding heavy traffic. If you have finally
decided to purchase one for yourself, you probably have numerous options at
your disposal. But, how do you decide which scooter is ideal for you? If you
are looking to enhance your daily commute in New Zealand, you are in luck. Kugoo.nz offers you lightweight electric scooters
designed and made with incredible flexibility making them perfect in campus,
urban and suburban environments.
So, what are Some of
the Factors to Consider When Choosing an Electric Scooter?
Power
If you are shopping
for an agile and easy to manage scooter, an electric scooter with 500 watts is
all you need. However, 200 watts for an everyday commuter will be equally
efficient on a not so hilly route. You might need 1000 watts for off-road
adventure, although there are up to 5000n watts in the market.
Speed
Most scooter speeds
range from 8 mph to 50 mph. For kids, go for a scooter with 8 mph, 10-15 mph
for more experienced kids, and 15-20 mph for adults.
Battery
You can choose
between electric scooters with Lithium ION and Lead-Acid batteries. While Lead
Acids might require longer charging, they offer short ranges and are best if
you occasionally use your scooter. With shorter charging periods, Lithium ION
batteries are best suited for daily rides and offer longer ranges.
Comfort
Comfort is
everything when it comes to an electric scooter. To achieve a higher comfort,
consider the seat, chain, and tires of your prospective ride.
Seat
Some scooters will come
with a seat, others with none, and others will let you install one. If you are
buying a scooter for quick rides, you might not need a seat, while longer trips
will require a seat for extra comfort.
Belt
Of course, chain
transportation provides an enhanced power transmission, more torque, and higher
longevity. However, belt transportation means more comfort, smooth
acceleration, low maintenance costs, higher speed, and, more importantly, an
amazing, silent ride.
Tires
Tires are the main
source of traction between the scooter and the road. Electric scooters come
with a wide range of tire sizes, types and designed for all types of grounds.
The hack is to choose one with a great suspension, comfort, and longevity.
