Electric scooters: How to make them safer

Regarding the safety of the electric scooters they have been riding,Scooters have been popular for several years now, but since the beginning of the pandemic,More and more people want to avoid disclosing their mode of transportation,There are only a few people who want to ride an electric scooter but worry about safety.People who are tempted by electric scooters, but delayed by this concept, there are still some dangers.

So I want to share some tips on how to ride

How to ride an e-scooter as safe as possible?

As an electric scooter rider, I have a very simple all-encompassing rule, which is as simple as riding a bicycle. Riding an electric scooter has the same speed as a normal cyclist.These two groups occupy approximately the same amount and space.

At present, the lanes designed on the road are shared with cars, but they are often forced to drive in motorized lanes. Due to insufficient infrastructure, from a safety point of view, I will ride a scooter to make more preparations.The main difference between riding an electric scooter and riding a bicycle.

Wheel size

Obviously, the wheels of the scooter are smaller, so you have to pay more attention, there are more cracks in the road than you think. Another difference is visibility, because you are standing on the scooter and you are a little taller, which means you have a better line of sight, but fundamentally they are very similar, so ride an electric scooter safely on the road

My suggestion is simple, ride an electric scooter to make yourself as visible as possible, use reflective gears and light wear.Wear a helmet and do not drink and ride a scooter.When driving on the road, assume that every car is going to do the stupidest thing they could do, and plan to be extra careful and leave more space accordingly.

Because if you ride a scooter, you accidentally collide with a car,It doesn’t matter whose fault is, what’s more important is that you will come out of safety,No matter what kind of vehicle you use, it is always safer to build it carefully.

Electric scooters are a very new and unregulated industry.

There are several factors for your scooter, from a safety perspective.

The larger the wheel and tire, the better the wheel can cope with bumps,Scooters usually come with pneumatic or airless tires.

They provide a good cushion, the latter has much lower maintenance costs and is not easy to puncture,The pneumatic tire suspension makes riding more stable, which means you don’t have to worry too much about bumps and cracks on the road.

I would definitely recommend choosing an airless tire or suspension,Or both, but if you choose to have it, neither of you like bumps

You have to be very careful at what speed,

Be sure to buy within your abilities, similarly the first scooter should not be a super scooter at 50 miles per hour.

It’s best not to buy a scooter that is too slow. A scooter that feels comfortable and stable at 20 miles per hour is safer than a 15-year-old child. Finally, choose a reputable brand again, mainly because you just I want to make sure I buy from a well-reviewed brand.Please remember that when you buy a scooter, there are some unsafe places,

Things to consider, range and what color it is,Another suggestion about buying Scooter (if there is an actual scooter)Shop,Any place near you I will strongly recommend you to try it there.

Before you buy, you can test it, you need expert advice for repair or maintenance, instead of transporting your scooter halfway through every puncture, this is why I recommend buying honeycomb tires.

Frequently Asked Questions About Riding an electric scooter

Why do pneumatic tires feel faster than honeycomb tires when riding an electric scooter?

First of all, the scooter you are using must have the same configuration of motor and battery to have the conditions for speed comparison. If it is a scooter with different battery specifications, no matter how the comparison is during riding, the speed of the big battery scooter is higher.

Secondly:

Pneumatic tire features: pneumatic tires can be selected for uncomplicated road conditions. The shock absorption effect is better. The friction of the tires on the road surface is relatively small, and there is no feeling of bumps when driving. You will feel that driving is faster, but pneumatic tires are easy to blow out. Similar to a broken bicycle tire, it is particularly troublesome to deal with. You can refer to bicycle tire repair methods

iEZway daily problems

Characteristics of honeycomb tires: Compared with pneumatic tires, honeycomb tires have poor shock absorption, but the difference will not be obvious. It is convenient to use. Because the tires are honeycomb, the shock absorption is low.

But we have done experiments in the laboratory, the same configuration of electric scooters, different tires, there will be no obvious speed difference during driving. There will be a slight deviation in shock absorption.

What is the average life span of an electric scooter?

  • These problems are often encountered when buying an electric scooter. I will analyze the usage time of the scooter based on actual usage data.
  • Under normal circumstances, if the scooter itself has no problem and the battery is working normally, it can be used for 2-3 years.
  • According to the requirements of normal driving regulations, keep the electric scooter properly and properly maintain it. There is basically no problem in using it for 1-2 years.
  • Of course, some small parts should be replaced regularly. Frequent use of scooter parts will also cause problems.

Can you ride a street scooter in the park?

Of course, most of the time, I choose electric scooters when I go out. In the park, the street, the subway, go to work, go shopping, etc., helped me solve many road problems.

This is why I bought an electric scooter.

How to extend battery life of electric scoote？

The key to the service life of electric scooters lies in the reasonable use and maintenance of batteries.

1.Use the charger from a regular manufacturer

  Unmatched current and voltage during charging will cause damage to the circuit system, shorten battery life, and even bring safety hazards. The original battery and charger are the best cp.

In order to reduce costs, most of the current chargers are designed with high vibration resistance, but do not carry the charger with the car to prevent the internal transformer, capacitor, high-power transistor, field effect tube, adjustable potentiometer, etc. from loosening due to vibration and bumps. As a result, the parameters of the charger may drift or even be damaged.

iEZway scooter

2.Charging time and battery level

   In most chargers, the battery is not fully charged after the indicator light turns on, and the power is about 97% to 99%. There will be 1% to 3% undercharged power, which will form undercharge accumulation, so after the battery is fully charged, it will be charged for another ten minutes.

The charging time of electric scooters should basically be controlled within 5 hours, too long charging time can easily damage the battery.

3.The impact of the charging environment on the battery

   The best ambient temperature for charging is 25°C. However, it is difficult to ensure reasonable temperature during normal charging, so there are often problems of undercharging in winter and overcharging in summer. It is best to arrange the battery and charger in a ventilated and temperature-regulated environment when charging.

It is particularly reminded that when the battery enters a warm room at a low temperature outside in winter, frost and condensation will appear on the surface of the battery. In order to avoid battery leakage caused by frost and condensation, the battery should be charged after the battery temperature rises to close to the indoor temperature and is dry.

During daily parking, the entire vehicle should be stored in a ventilated place, and the lithium battery should be protected from humid environments and prolonged exposure, away from heat sources and flammable and explosive materials.

Note: The battery charging voltage is inversely proportional to the ambient temperature

The following is a self-calculation of the maximum charge voltage (UMAX) and floating charge voltage (UF) of the 36V battery at different temperatures (TEMP).

4.Other charging notes

     Many dealers recommend charging every day when selling scooters. The battery is in a shallow cycle state and the battery life will be prolonged. In fact, this is not completely correct. The number of charge and discharge cycles of the battery is certain.

Frequent charging of the battery will aggravate the softening and shedding of the active material on the positive plate of the battery, and will also accelerate the corrosion of the grid and reduce the life of the battery. Generally, the battery power is not used too much, so there is no need to charge frequently.

The best way to maintain a lithium battery pack is to use it lightly, quickly release it and charge it quickly. The greater the frequency and the number of times it is used, the faster the battery will wear out. The lower the degree of deep discharge of the lithium battery, the longer the use time. If possible, try to avoid frequent full charge and discharge.

　　As far as the user is concerned, it is best to charge your battery after 10% or 20% of the battery is used. You can also charge when the remaining power is 50%. It is best not to use up the battery while charging.

5.Develop a good riding habit

Choose different speeds for different road conditions, try to avoid braking and re-acceleration. Acceleration is actually a very power-consuming process. Where the road conditions are good, you can add it to the fastest because the discharge current is about 8-9A.

Regarding braking: When riding, try to avoid braking and re-acceleration. The discharge current of the battery is gentle, which reduces the impact of high current on the battery and greatly extends the service life of the battery.

Regarding the tires: the scooter tires must be fully inflated, and the switch must be closed in time when getting off the car.

If you do not use the scooter for a long time, you must charge the battery once every half a month. This will extend battery life.

Battery design and composition

Electric scooter battery The battery is generally placed under the seat, some are directly fixed under the base, and some are detachable. I feel that each has its advantages and disadvantages. It is directly fixed and inconvenient to bring upstairs for charging; the scooter battery that can be removed freely is easy to be stolen. Therefore, the battery design is different. You can choose the one that suits you according to the actual situation.

iEZway PRO Scooter

At present, the batteries generally used in electric scooters are divided into lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries. Lead-acid batteries are low in replacement cost, but they are easy to wear.

Lithium batteries have the advantages of high efficiency, light volume and long life, but they are also expensive.

In recent years, with the continuous advancement of technology, the price of lithium batteries has also fallen, and the utilization rate has slowly increased. The batteries of electric scooters on the market are assembled from multiple batteries. The longer the range, the more battery packs. 

The higher the voltage, the stronger the power (climbing); the larger the capacity, the stronger the battery life.

When the scooter is made, the battery has been installed and fixed, which is very safe.And from the outside, it looks like there is only one battery.

Battery capacity and endurance of electric scooters

The battery has the greatest impact on the mileage. First, the battery conversion rate and energy density are higher, that is, the battery life with a larger battery capacity under the same volume and weight will increase.

The battery of an electric scooter usually uses a single cell capacity of 2600 or 3200, and iezway’s batteries use this kind of large-capacity battery.

The best solution for electric scooter motor operation

The power of the motor is not as large as possible. Too much power will cause waste, and too little power will not be enough. At the same time, the power selection of the hub motor is also related to the wheel diameter, speed, and torque.

Take a scooter with an 8-inch wheel diameter as an example. The motor power can be in the range of 250W~350W. Each motor has an optimal power range. This is related to the output curve of the motor. The output power of the general cruising speed is just in this optimal range Inside.

Electric scooter motor control method

The current two control methods, square wave control and sine wave control, have their own advantages and disadvantages. I prefer the sine wave control, which has comfortable control, linear acceleration, high cost, low power consumption, and low sound.Square wave control is simple and rough, cheap and stable, accelerating in a straight line, starting rush, cruising and saving power.

In general, it is recommended to use sine wave control to produce products. A good sine wave control method requires higher technical capabilities of the enterprise and pays more attention to user experience. The overall energy utilization efficiency is 5 to 7% higher than square wave control.

How to distinguish sine wave and square wave control? Sine wave control is to turn the handle slightly under no load. At this time, the motor starts softly and smoothly, and continues to accelerate to the highest speed. Under load, it starts softly without rushing, and has no abnormal noise, quiet and comfortable; while the square wave controller is quiet and comfortable. When the handle is turned a little under load, the motor accelerates a little. Under load, there is a lot of noise when starting, and the start is harder, which is not convenient to control.

Electric scooter tire selection

Vacuum tires: more durable, currently mainly used for electric motorcycles, easy to maintain, only a bottle of tire repair fluid

Inner and outer tires: Most bicycles use inner and outer tires, which are widely used. The bad thing is that repairing a tire is more troublesome

Honeycomb solid tires: do not need to be pumped up, durable, the current shared scooters are solid tires.

iEZway Electric Scooter tire selection

At present, most of the nominal battery life in the industry are not accurate, and a few are credible or close to the nominal value. However, the battery life is affected by personal riding habits and environment, and the measured data is almost different for each person.

The problem of mileage is not that the farther the better, the main consideration is our activity radius, choosing the right one is the best. For example, if your activity radius is 5km near your home, then you can consider the maximum mileage around 20km. That’s fine. If it is too big, it will increase the cost, such as the cost of replacing the battery, heavier body weight, etc.

Design and Development of Electric scooter

1.Development history of electric scooter

Europe is the second largest use area of two-wheelers in the world. In the past few years, the European two-wheeler industry has achieved amazing growth. The invention of fuel redefines the face of the automotive industry
Efficient technology will surely witness the arrival of a new era in the two-wheeler industry.

Not gasoline, diesel or any other fuel, but electricity has triggered a revolution in the Indian two-wheeler industry. .

The European two-wheeler industry has accepted the new concept of electric bicycles and scooters, which are very popular personal transportation in North America and other countries. Therefore, electric bicycles or scooters have broad development prospects in the personal field. We studied the design and development and comparison of different parts of the components. This article also introduces electric two-wheeler components, such as batteries, chargers, BLDC motors, controllers, and DC-DC converters.

In recent years, environmental problems caused by fuel vehicles and fuel economy become more and more serious.The vehicles of new energy, which is green, environmentally friendly and economical, is an important goal for economic and social development of many countries, but also the future development direction of the vehicle. EV is a vehicle with zero pollution emissions, mileage and fuel vehicles can be mutually comparable electric vehicles.

Being an e-scooter the electric system plays a promising role in its designing and creation. The electric system consists of battery, motor, motor controller and other electronic equipment. The most important thing that electric system does is that it gives power to the motor which helps in the running of the scooter.

This energy in form of chemical or electric energy is stored in the battery which is used by a hub motor, thus the electric or chemical energy converted to mechanical energy. A proper electric system is important to ensure driver and vehicle safety in case of collision. The brushless DC (BLDC) motor is fixed to hub of rearwheel of escooter. The reason for choosing BLDC motor is its compactness and noiseless operation.

So our main Objectives to design or development an e-scooter are as following:-

  •  To reduce running cost of vehicle
  • To reduce the emissions
  • To overcome the draw backs of electric vehicle
  • To increase life period and efficiency of existing escooters.

2.System Devlopment​

The Key Components in Electric Scooter
Following are the key components in Electric Scooter:-
2.1  Battery Charger
2.2 Battery
2.3  Motor Controller
2.4  Motor
2.5  DC-DC Converter
2.6  Vehicle Computer and Electronics

The electric vehicle is rather simple in structure. The key components are the propulsion parts. Fig.1 shows the configuration.

Fig 1

Fig 1: The key components of Electric Vehicle (Powertrain)
The battery is the main energy storage. The battery charger is to convertthe electricity from mains to charge the battery. The battery voltage is DC and current (I) is inverted into switched-mode signal through power electroniccontroller to drive the motor.

The other electronic components in a vehicle can be supplied to the battery through DC-DC converter that step down the voltage from the battery pack tolower voltage such as 5V-20V.

2.1 Battery Charger

In order to utilize thebattery toitsmaximumcapacity the battery charger plays a crucial role. The remarkable features of a battery charger are efficiency and reliability, weight and cost, charging time and power density. The characteristics of the charger depend on the components, switching strategies,control algorithms.

Fig.2:- Electric circuit diagram of battery charger

This control algorithm can be implemented digitally using microcontroller.The charger consists oftwo stages.
First,one is theAC-DC converter with power factor correction which converts the AC grid voltage intoDC ensuring high power factor. The later stage regulates the charging current and voltage of the battery according to the charging method employed.
The charger can be unidirectional i.e. can only charge the EV battery from the grid or bidirectional i.e. can charge the battery from the grid in charging mode and can pump the surplus amount of power of the battery into the grid.

This is lithium ion battery charger circuit (48v 5A) for 48v 25Ah battery as shown in figure2. The circuit given here is a current limited lithium ion battery charger built around the famous variable voltage regulator IC LM 317. The charging currentdepends onthe valueof resistorR2.Resistor R3 and POTR4determines the charging voltage.
Transformer T1 steps down the mains voltage and bridge D1 does the job of rectification. C1 is the filter capacitor. Diode D1 prevents the reverse flow of current from the battery when charger is switched OFF or when mains power is not available

2.2 BATTERY

Batteries are the components that store electrical energy,allowing for the motor ofthe vehicle inquestiontorun.There is already an analysis between different kinds of batteries as seen in the table.1 below, The main materials that allow recharging are nickel cadmium, nickel zinc, nickel metal hydride, and lithium-ion/lithium-polymer, these are respectively listed as NiCd, NiZn, NiMH, and Li-ion/Li-Po on the battery analysis table. Specific energy is energyperunitof mass denotes a lighter battery as the value increases if the energy were to be kept constant

From this table lithium ion battery was the most efficient choice for an electric bike because it offers high energy density while remaining relatively light-weight and compact in size. Lithium ion batteries can be very dangerous;therefore it is essential to research the quality of the lithium ion cells and the protective implementations used.

➢ Battery management systems

It is also referred as BMS. The battery system is formed by a number of battery cells. They are connected in parallel or series that is according to the design. Each of the cell should be monitoring and regulated. The conditioning monitoring includes the voltage, current andtemperature.Themeasured parameters are used to provide the decision parameter for the system control and protection.

2.3 Motor Controller

A motor controller is a device or group of devices that serves to govern in some predetermined manner of performance of an electric motor. A motor controller mightinclude a manual or automatic means for starting and stopping the motor, selecting forward or reverse rotation, selecting and regulating the speed, limiting or regulating the torque, and protecting against overloads and fault.
In this project we are using “sine wave vector controller”. The battery block is interfaced with the motor controller block. The motor controller controls all the functional capabilities and is the central component of the system. The basic requirement for the control is to regulate the amount of power applied to the motor, especially forDC motors. The motor controller can be adjusted to synchronize with other brushless motors.

To drive and controlthe BLDC motor,theuseofmotor controller was implemented. The motor controller is anessentialdevice for any motor driven device. The motor controller is analogous to the human brain,processing information and feeding it back to the end user.

Of course,the applications of a motor controller vary based on the task that it will be performing.One ofthe simplest applications is a basic switch to supply power to the motor, thus making the motor run. As one utilizes more features in the motor,the complexity ofthe motor controller increases. Field-Oriented Control (FOC) or sine wave vector controller is an important technology for motor systems, particularly those using permanent magnets(PM).
In general, FOC provides an efficient way to control BLDC motor in adjustable speed drive applications that have quickly changing loads and can improve the power efficiency of an BLDC motor.

2.4 Bldc Hub Motor

The use of the permanent magnets(PM) in electrical machines in place of electromagnetic excitation results in many advantages such as no excitation losses, simplified construction, improved efficiency, fastdynamicperformance and high torque or power per unit volume.A brushless dc (BLDC) motor is a synchronous electricmotor which is powered bydirect current electricity (DC) andwhich has as electronically controlled commutationsystem,instead of a mechanical commutation system based on brushes.

In such motors, current andtorque, voltage andrpmare linearly related. In BLDC motor the electromagnets do not move,instead the permanent magnets rotate and the armature remains static. The construction of modern brushless dc motor is very similar to the ac motor, known as permanent magnet synchronous motor.

Fig.3

Figure3 illustrates the structure of a typical three phase brushless dc motor. The stator windings are similar to those in a poly phase ac motor, and the rotor is composed of one or more permanent magnets.
Brushless dc motors are different from ac synchronous motors in thatthe former incorporates somemeans todetect the rotor position or (magnetic poles) to produce signals to control the electronic switches. The most common position/pole sensor is thehall element,but somemotorsuse optical sensors.

Fig.4:- Two phase brushless dc motor

2.5 Dc-Dc Controller

A DC-to-DC converter is an electronic circuit or electromechanical device that converts a source of direct current (DC) from one voltage level to another. It is a type of electric power converter. The different configurations of EV power supply show that at least one DC/DC converter is necessary to interface the FC (frequency controller), the
Battery or the Supercapacitors module to the DC-link.

In electric engineering, a DC to DC converter is a category of power converters and itis an electric circuitwhichconverts a source of direct current (DC) from one voltage level to another, by storing the input energy temporarily and then releasing that energy to the output at a different voltage.

The storage may be in either magnetic field storage components (inductors, transformers) or electric field storage components (capacitors).DC/DC converters canbedesigned to transfer power in only one direction, from the input to the output.However, almost all DC/DC converter topologies can be made bi-directional. A bi-directional converter can move power in either direction, which is useful in applications requiring regenerative braking.

The amount of power flow between the input and the output can be controlled by adjusting the duty cycle (ratio of on/off time of the switch).Usually, this is done to control the output voltage, the input
current, the output current, or to maintain a constant power. Transformer-based converters may provide isolation between the input and the output. The main drawbacks of switching converters include complexity, electronicnoise and high cost for some topologies

3. Performance Analysis

➢ Hub Motor Calculation
3.1 Motor Specification
Volt (V) = 48 v, Power (P) = 1000 w
3.2 Power Equation
Power (P) = Current (I) × Voltage (V)
Hence, I = P ÷ V = 1000 ÷ 48 = 20.83 Amp.
3.3 Speed of Motor In RPM
N=K÷ ( d × 0.001885 ) =35÷(25.4×0.001885)=731RPM
Where, N = Speed In RPM, K = Speed In kmph
d = Wheel Diameter in cm
• Wheel Diameter (d) is 10 inch (Given)
1 inch = 2.54 cm, So, d = 10 inch = 25.4 cm
• Speed In kmph (K) is 35 kmph (Given)
3.4 Torque of the motor (T)
T = (P×60)÷(2×𝜋×N)=(1000×60)÷(2×3.14×731) =13.06Nm
Torque of the wheel hub motor, T = 13.06 Nm
3.5 Selection of Motor
For deciding the power rating of vehicle, the vehicle dynamics like rolling resistance, gradient resistance, aerodynamic drag, etc. has to be considered. For illustration procedure for selecting motor rating for anelectric scooterof gross weight 170 kg is considered. The force required for driving a vehicle is calculated as:
Ftotal = Frolling + Fgradient + Faerodynamic drag
Where, Ftotal = Total force
Frolling = Force due to Rolling Resistance
Fgradient=Force due to Gradient Resistance
Faerodynamic drag=Force due to Aerodynamic Drag
Ftotal is the total tractive force that the output of the motor must overcome, in order to movie vehicle.
ROLLING RESISTANCE
Rolling resistance is the resistance offered to the vehicle due to the contact of tire with road. The formula for calculating force due to rolling resistance is given by equation:

Frolling = Crr × M × g
Where, Crr = Coefficient of Rolling Resistance,
M = mass in kg, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s2
For application consider, Crr = 0.004 as per below table And
weight of our scooter = 170 kg

4. System Operation

Basically, electric motor drive circuit has DC brushless controller of 48Vwhich is powered by the battery of capacity 48V through MCB (miniature circuitbreaker).The functionof MCB is protect the circuit under over current/over voltage condition. The controller supply in a specified sequence is given to motor by controller.


The hall effect sensor connected at the shaft of BLDC motor which gives signal to the controller and thus respective windings get energized as per position of motor shaft. The throttle or speed changerhandle bar is connected electrically to the controller.Hence, variable speed can be obtained by accelerating the bar.
Also, the braking systemis connectedelectrically tocontroller.As soon as brakes are applied, it will open the circuit andthenbattery is disconnected from motor causes motor speed reduction and in a specified time, motor will stop.

5. Conclusion

Now a days, utilization of fuel vehicles are increased rapidly which result into more air pollution. To control this,utilization of EV is must because it’s several advantages like electric scooter is an eco-friendly product,Itis more suitable for city as it can avoid the emission of harmful gases and thereby it can reduce the atmospheric pollution.

Due to frequent increase in fuel prices, the electrically charged vehicle seen to be the cheapest one compared to the traditional vehicle. E-scooters are more suitable for rural areas where the numbers of petrol bunks are not adequate,so that the rural people can charge the vehicle with the help of electricity. To understanding theEVtechnology,this study helps to provide outline of EV (Scooter) and there various components.

Why choose an adult electric scooter？

As the world faces global warming and climate change, more and more people choose to travel green. They began to switch from traditional energy sources to other power sources, such as solar panels and wind energy. Nevertheless, effective measures still need to be taken.

Transportation is our top priority, because it emits tens of thousands of tons of carbon dioxide every day, so we switch from fuel vehicles to clean electric vehicles. For example, electric scooters are used to travel to protect the environment.

Due to the high demand, there are several electric scooters on the market, but before buying a scooter, you should first understand the difference between scooters

 

The difference between electric scooters for children and adults

  • According to the parameters and reviews of electric scooters for children and adults, buying an electric scooter can be a difficult task.
  • Let us understand the main difference: speed and weight load capacity.
  • Most children’s scooters are designed only for children aged 6-10, which means that they weigh only 150 pounds. Because this weight means that the driving speed will be very low, it can only be used as a game tool.
  • The difference is that the adult scooter runs fast and it can travel for a longer time. His maximum weight is 300 pounds
Premium scooter

Based on these reviews can help everyone decide how to choose the best adult electric scooter

There are four factors to consider when choosing an electric scooter:

  1. Where will it be used?
  2. Will it be used for a long time, or just a few blocks?
  3. Do you need a seat?
  4. Does it have to be a motorcycle? Or is it just a scooter?
iEZway Electric Scooter EZ2 300W Dual Brake App LCD Display Waterproof Foldable Electric Scooter

The speed and load capacity of the scooter are also important

These features will increase the price. It is well known that the more features the price will increase.

 

It is best to compare prices when buying anything, because it can better help you make decisions

The best factor is overall quality. When choosing a scooter, please make sure that the brand is reliable, the scooter is sturdy and durable, and the material is made of durable materials.

Criteria for choosing adult electric scooters

Of course, the iEZway electric scooter takes these factors into consideration. Among the same type of scooter, the price we provide is the cheapest, but the quality is better than other brands.

After-sales maintenance and replacement parts. iEZway provides a one-year warranty repair service, we can repair any quality problems, and provide a large number of parts that can be replaced.

iEZway PRO Electric Scooter M365 Pro

In "Safety"

Reviews of electric scooters for children and adults also indicate that when we decide to travel on electric scooters, safety is always important.

Some sellers include helmets and safety mats and scooters, especially helmets for children’s scooters. For adult scooters, these items can be purchased separately. It is important to invest in these safety protections because no one knows when an accident will happen.

When using a scooter, be sure to wear a helmet or even a safety pad. Also as a definite rule, you must follow the traffic rules, because most accidents are because drivers tend to ignore the traffic rules, so for safety reasons, you must be a good citizen, obey the traffic rules and always wear them anywhere when driving. helmet.

Criteria for choosing adult electric scooters

Mainly talk about the points that buyers need to pay attention to when buying adult scooters

1.Why choose an electric scooter

The epidemic continues to spread，In addition, the traffic mode is very congested, and people living in every city are facing great risks. We need to plan a safe travel path for ourselves, such as riding an electric scooter to go out.

In the hot summer, on the way to work or school, when you are riding a bicycle, or on a crowded bus, you must have seen the experience of others passing by you on an electric scooter.

What was in your mind at that time?

My thoughts are: I am so envious, I really want to have it

2. What factors should be considered when purchasing

The main purpose:

  1. Use on the way to and from get off work
  2. Use within the distance between home and school, or within school
  3. You can put it in the trunk for driving and play, and when you arrive at the destination, it can replace the car to go to places that cannot be reached
  4. Can be used as a tool or as a toy
iEZway PRO Electric Scooter M365 Pro 350W Dual Brake App LCD Display Waterproof Foldable Electric Scooter
Driving Distance

First choose the one with a longer mileage, and of course also consider the usage. If the distance to the school is 5 kilometers, you can basically choose any adult electric scooter. If the distance exceeds 10 kilometers, you can choose to travel a distance of 15 kilometers. There must be an error in the driving distance in actual use. It is best not to choose a scooter that can only travel 10 kilometers

Scooter weight

In all adult electric scooters sold, the weight is basically the same. Many people will feel tired if they need to be folded and carried around.

Tires

The smaller the tire, the easier it is to skid, especially when turning. The smaller the size, the greater the bumpiness of the scooter

Seat

Whether you need it or not depends on you, the seat has no shock absorption effect, and there may be no place to put your feet after adding the seat

Handlebar

The height should be appropriate, especially for taller ones, otherwise you will feel tired

speed

Generally it is between 10-25km/h. Faster speed is more dangerous. Don’t pursue fast speed. The main thing is whether you can stop safely during use.

Braking performance

Basically use electronic brakes + physical brakes

Comfort

It is mainly related to shock absorption

waterproof
