Electric scooters have parts unlike their gas-powered counterparts. They have a motor, a battery, and a switch that is used to control speed. Mounted on the handlebar are the bicycle hand brakes and fitted beneath the feet are the batteries. Others parts are chains, chain breakers, chargers, and throttles. There are also accessories that include a scooter’s bag, safety warning bell, headlight, mirrors, and a basket to be placed in front.

Surely, the electric scooter will take you where you want to go. Just how fast and how far it will go will depend on several factors that could affect performance. One factor is the speed of the vehicle. If you have a Zappy, expect to go 4 to 5 miles at 10 to 12 mph. On the other hand, a Phat Flyer will get you 5 to 8 miles at 15 mph speeds.

There are more factors to look into as well. If you want your ride to be as efficient and as comfortable as possible, you have to look into factors such as the terrain, size of battery (bigger is better), efficiency of controller or motor, wind conditions, tire inflation, and the rider’s height and weight. All these can either make or break your riding experience with an electric motorcycle.

First, consider the rider’s height and weight. If weight is below 250 pounds, lightweight electric scooters are best. If however, weight of the rider is around 400 pounds, go for heavyweight types. Another important factor to consider is the height of rider. Sure, smaller electric scooters may cost lesser than bigger ones. However, remember that comfort matters. There could be shortage of leg room in smaller electric scooters, and taller riders may experience discomfort.

People under 5’5” should consider scooters with overall length of 42 inches or less. For those riders taller than 5’5”, choose longer models that provide more leg room to ensure safer and more comfortable operation. Every scooter has an apparent list of manufacturer specifications. Before buying an electric bike, make sure that you carefully check the scooter’s specifications so that you can fully match it with the rider.

Another important factor is where you would be using the electric bike. For indoor use, a three-wheeled electric scooter is best. They offer better maneuverability, which is perfect for moving around inside the house. Also, they are much lighter and easier to drive/handle. For outdoor use, four-wheeled electric scooters are a good choice. They are built more sturdily, and can adapt to rough surfaces which are common outdoors.

Those are some things to consider when buying an electric scooter. For running errands, getting to school or work, or for whatever reason you have, having an electric ride will indeed save you much time, money, and even the environment. When buying one, just keep the above factors in mind to maximize the use and efficiency of your electric bike.
