Electric Scooter Real Range! What Is The True Range You Can Expect And How To Calculate It!
You often have to take the range of an electric scooter with a grain of salt. The manufacturer’s range specified in the datasheets usually takes into account ideal conditions at low speed and mild acceleration. The weight of the driver also influences the maximum range.
We carried out some practical tests and came to the following conclusion:
A rider with a weight of 175 Ibs – 80 kg carried out all tests.
Battery with a capacity of 7Ah
In sport mode:
speed 18 mph = range between 6 and 9 Miles
speed 30 km/h = range between 10 and 15 km
In drive mode:
speed 20-25 mph = range between 9 and 13 Miles
speed 20-25 km/h = range between 15 and 20 km
In eco mode:
speed 15 mph = range between 13 and 15 Miles
speed 15 km/h = range between 20 and 25 km
Battery with a capacity of 10Ah
In sport mode:
speed 18 mph = range between 16 and 22 Miles
speed 30 km/h = range between 26 and 35 km
In drive mode:
speed 20-25 mph = range between 17 and 25 Miles
speed 20-25 km/h = range between 26 and 41 km
In eco mode:
speed 15 mph = range between 24 and 27 Miles
speed 15 km/h = range between 39 and 43 km
Battery with a capacity of 15Ah
In sport mode:
speed 18 mph = range between 22 and 28 Miles
speed 30 km/h = range between 35 and 45 km
In drive mode:
speed 20-25 mph = range between 23 and 30 Miles
speed 20-25 km/h = range between 37 and 48 km
In eco mode:
speed 15 mph = range between 31 and 33,5 Miles
speed 15 km/h = range between 50 and 54 km
Calculating the range of any Electric scooter
A good rule of thumb for estimating the range is to multiply the battery capacity by 1,2 to 1,8 (Imperial) || or 2 to 3 (Metric). This gives approximately the range with a fully charged battery.
Example:
Imperial: An electric scooter with a 10Ah battery has an average range between 12 Miles (10×2) and 18 Miles (10×1,8) in normal driving mode.
Metric: An electric scooter with a 10Ah battery has an average range between 20 (10×2) and 30 km (10×3) in normal driving mode.
Driving behavior
Driving behavior and the course of course also affect the range of your electric scooter. Sporty driving in sport mode can affect range by up to 50%.
