Max. load

The maximum weight of the rider that the design of the scooter can withstand without breakdowns and accidents. This moment is partly determined by the age group, and mainly by the materials used in the frame. Note that manufacturers can indicate the maximum load for perfect conditions - when the scooter rides on a perfectly flat surface or even stands still. Therefore, it is worth choosing a model for this parameter with a certain margin. And even more so, you should not exceed the weight indicated in the characteristics - even if the scooter does not break down immediately, this can happen at any time after, which is fraught with accidents and injuries.

Range

The maximum distance that an electric scooter can travel on a single battery charge.

Usually the range is indicated for a flat road and driving only on an electric motor, without the help of a rider. So this indicator is quite conditional, in practice, the distance of the trip may be either less or more, depending on the characteristics of the road and driving style. Nevertheless, according to the claimed range, it is quite possible to estimate the autonomy of different models and compare them with each other.

Note that a large range (more than 50 km) requires capacious batteries, which affects the dimensions and weight of the device. The real need for such autonomy is not required so often, especially since many electric scooters are quite capable of driving in the usual way, without the use of an electric motor.

Power

The power of the motor installed in the electric scooter. In models with two motors (one per wheel), their total power is usually indicated.

A more powerful motor, on the one hand, has a positive effect on the speed and acceleration characteristics; on the other hand, it affects the cost of the device and requires more capacious batteries, which affect both the price and weight. In addition, at acceleration and low speeds, the scooter can be “helped” by pushing off with your foot. Therefore, in most modern models, the motor power is low — most often in range of 250 W, 300 W, 350 W. Power of 500 W is considered quite high, it allows you to reach speeds of 40 km/h and even higher. In the most advanced models, power is already measured in kilowatts, and the maximum speed can exceed 80 km/h; however, such "monsters" cost accordingly.

However, power also affects the ability to drive a vehicle, because depending on the country, various traffic rules are provided for driving a scooter.

Cruise control

A feature that allows you to ride the scooter at a preset speed without having to hold down the throttle button. Cruise control is a convenient option when travelling over long sections of the route while maintaining a constant speed.

Battery capacity

Battery capacity installed in the electric scooter.

Theoretically, a higher battery capacity allows for a longer range, but in fact, not everything is so clear. Firstly, motors of even the same power can differ in efficiency; secondly, the actual amount of energy stored in the battery depends not only on the capacity in amp-hours but also on the voltage in volts. So this parameter is secondary, and when choosing, it is worth focusing not so much on the battery capacity, but on the directly claimed range. You can compare capacity only for models with similar characteristics and the same supply voltage.

Full charge time

Time to fully charge the battery from zero to 100%.

The more powerful the device, the more capacious batteries it needs and, as a rule, the longer the charging time. In the heaviest models, it can reach 20 hours. However, such indicators are rare - most electric scooters are charged for a maximum of 8-9 hours, which allows you to put the device on charge “from evening to morning”.

Handlebar height adjustment

The ability to change the height of the handlebar, adjusting it to the height of the user. This feature will be especially useful if the scooter is bought for several users of different heights or for a teenager who is still in the growth stage.

App control

Wireless pairing of an electric scooter with a smartphone is usually carried out via Bluetooth. Synchronization with a mobile device allows you to control many functions of the scooter, switch riding modes, block the engine, track mileage, keep control of the range and battery status. Also, the smartphone application usually displays trip statistics: mileage, average speed, distance covered, etc.

Turn signals

Turn signals warn other drivers of your intention to make a manoeuvre. The presence of turn signals is especially useful when driving on public roads — warning others about a change in trajectory in such conditions is never superfluous.
