Looking for a street legal Electric Scooter/Moped - Endless Sphere

TheSiege said: Well, that’s not completely true. I have a ZEV s that tops out at 55 and has a range of around 40 miles. It’s a 21s 50ah Chevy volt battery that is degraded to around 45ah and I only charge to 4v and shutoff at 3. So a 3.2kwh pack that is charged and discharged pretty conservatively can achieve those numbers.

no way you are driving 55 continusly and get 40 miles from that battery. that would mean you would consume 50Wh/km at nearly 90kph. that is impossible unless you have a litteral hurricane at your back. even a highly efficient scooter like a govecs 3.6 or an emax 120 will consume that power at or below 35mph.

bikes like a zero for example that is fairly efficient (for a bike) that do 60mph average out their consumption at 130Wh/mile if you DONT drive like a lunatic.

TheSiege said: I am just looking for manufacturers in the US or that ship to the US that have entry level electric scooters so I can sort through them and see if there is one that would fit my needs. I know over ZEV and CSC. If there are more, and I am sure there are, I would love to know their names.

you are looking for an actual electric motorcycle, not a scooter. that comes with a price penalty unless you want to DIY it. Ok so the voltage is going to dictate speed/RPMs
The wattage will determine the speed, based on Amps it can handle while the motor is under load. w at 72v will obviously be a lot closer to the designed RPM on flat terrain vs going uphill but a w motor would see more of a speed loss going uphill vs the w motor even at the same voltage.
And the amps really dont play much of a part in the speed/acceleration factor because wattage and voltage is a better measurement for that right? I am familiar with ohms law and volts/amps/watts, I am just unsure of how it affects DC motor characteristics as a whole.

That being said, if I was to design a new drive system and I have (4) 48v15ah packs. I would be better off going with 96v30ah and to get a higher top speed. Or I could do a 48v60ah and get a lot more distance.

I keep going back and forth, trying to decide what to do. I can do a 48v w/ batteries rated at 30a,60a, or 90a depending on how I have it configured. 96v w/batteries rated at 30, 60, 90 amps. or lastly, I can use my LiFePo4 cells and do 66v w/50 amp batteries.
I am really trying to get the most range I can get with a realistic top speed in the 38-45mph range. Basically a city scooter that wont slow others down. Can you advise on what wattage motor I should get?

What to look for when buying a moped or scooter

Before you buy a moped or scooter, consider several factors. First, you should feel comfortable riding this type of vehicle. Two-wheelers with larger engines and higher speeds can pose safety risks. Another important consideration is how you'll use the vehicle. Will you be commuting? Are you riding for recreation? Or do you need off-road capabilities?

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from KingChe.

The moped or scooter should be a size and weight you can handle. It must also accommodate the weight you put on it — just you and your belongings or you plus a passenger. If you're planning to get a lightweight scooter for commuting, make sure you can safely lift and carry it. You'll need a safe place to store it no matter the vehicle size.

Another consideration is the cost. The cost of a moped hinges on aspects such as the vehicle's performance, design, and features. For example, features like storage compartments can increase the price. Include fuel in your calculations for a gas-powered moped or scooter. Don't forget about purchasing safety gear such as a helmet and goggles or eye protection. As with any vehicle, you'll need insurance to protect yourself on the road.

What to look for when buying an electric scooter

Electric scooters, also called e-scooters, have motors with ratings from 200 watts to more than 6,000 watts. In addition to price, top speed, weight, and maximum load, evaluate the electric scooter's battery range, motor power, braking system, and tires. If you're going to be commuting by scooter, look for one that's at least 250 watts. Experts recommend pneumatic (i.e. air-filled) tires over solid ones for better rides.

Tips for buying a moped or scooter

The process for buying a scooter or moped include:

• Set your budget
• Do your research
• Determine the model that best fits your needs
• Negotiate the price

If you are buying a used moped or used scooter you'll want to evaluate the vehicle's age and mileage, take precautions to avoid purchasing an unsafe or stolen ride, ask the owner why they're selling and request to see the original purchase paperwork and service or repair records.
