Comparison Ninebot eKickScooter E3 E vs Ninebot eKickScooter E3 Pro E

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.

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.

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”.

Installing a second battery to increase the overall energy reserve is especially useful for those who travel long distances and don't want to charge the scooter too often. Additionally, the extra battery can be purchased over time, so the purchase doesn't hit your wallet too hard.

This way, with an additional battery, it's more convenient to make deliveries, travel out of town, or simply take long city routes without excessively monitoring the remaining charge.

— Aluminium. Aluminium-based alloys combine low weight and quite decent strength characteristics. Models with an aluminium frame are most common among electric scooters.

— Steel. Characteristic features of steel alloys are high-strength indicators. However, the weight of this material is quite significant, which affects the increase in the weight and size indicators of the electric scooter.

- Magnesium alloy. The magnesium alloy frame is the prerogative of advanced models of electric scooters. It is a strong, durable and relatively light material, but it costs more than aluminium or steel.
