The electric scooters are two-wheeled vehicles that run on electricity instead of running on fuel. Therefore, the components which are used to manufacture the electric scooters are different from the components used to manufacture the scooters running on fuel. There is no engine in an electric scooter unlike the scooters running on fuel. A battery, which can be recharged using electricity, provides the electric scooters with necessary power to run.

All electric scooters, which are also known as e-scooters, are fitted with an electric motor instead of being fitted with an engine that runs on fuel. This motor is powered by a DC battery. In e-scooters, the electric signals pass through the wires from the throttle to the controller. Based upon these signals, the battery can understand whether to release the energy to one or two motors in the wheels when the throttle is pressed. The motor of an e-scooter makes the wheels rotate. Thus, an e-scooter receives the necessary energy to move forward.

The use of electric scooter has increased over the past few years because of its unique benefits.

• The markets for two-wheeled electric vehicle have grown significantly over the past few years. It has grown from less than 2,000 electric vehicles per year in 2013 to more than 600,000 electric vehicles per year in 2022.
• In 2022, the sale of electric vehicles constituted 4% of the overall two-wheeler sales.
• In India, the demand for two-wheeled electric vehicles is supposed to be as high as 8.2 million per year.

These numbers show that the demand of electric scooters has steadily increased over the past few years and market experts predict that this demand is supposed to increase in the upcoming years. The e-scooters benefit the users and the environment because of their unique features.

• They are easy to maintain.
• These lightweight vehicles can be comfortably handled by anyone irrespective of their age and bodyweight.
• The height of e-scooters makes them suitable for a large number of individuals.
• The electric scooters are not expensive and can be purchased by a large number of people. Thus, e-scooters reduce the pressure on public transports.
• These vehicles are sustainable when properly maintained.
• There is no need to depend upon the fuel (petrol/diesel) when using an e-scooter. Therefore, you need not feel worried about the yearly hike in the price of petrol/diesel.
• You can operate an electric scooter without a driver’s license which is another benefit.
• The e-scooters do not harm the environment because they release no greenhouse gas unlike the scooters running on petrol/diesel. Thus, the top electric scooter manufacturers of Kolkata as well as India are keeping the environment free of pollutants.

The battery of any electric scooter has to be recharged using electricity. However, you can you recharge the battery using electricity produced by the solar energy or the wind power and keep the utility bills under control. When selecting an e-scooter, you have to consider the following factors.

1.  Design

The design of an e-scooter does not just affect its aesthetics. The usability and durability of an e-scooter is also affected by its design. These two features determine the quality of the ride alongside determining the need for servicing and maintenance cost. Therefore, it is essential to enquire about the wheels’ size, suspension system, tyres as well as brakes before selecting an e-scooter.

2.  Range

It’s equally important to enquire about the range of an electric scooter to learn how far it can travel. On an average, the range of the e-scooters (available in present-day Indian market) is 50-100 km. Some of the e-scooters come with an additional battery pack. It can be swapped with the main battery to increase the overall travel capacity of these vehicles.

3.  Charging Time

The time to charge the internal battery of an e-scooter is another important factor to enquire about before making an investment. It usually takes 3-4 hours for the internal battery of modern e-scooters to be recharged. Some of these vehicles are built with a battery which can be recharged while commuting. This type of e-scooter supports fast charging.

4.  Features

It’s important to enquire about the basic features of an e-scooter, such as aerodynamic design, speed-mode switch, storage bins under the seat, LED headlight, multi-functional dashboard, smart key etc. before purchasing it.

The reputation of a brand is another important factor to consider before purchasing an e-scooter. It’s important to buy an e-scooter from the Kolkata best scooty company if you want it to perform without any glitches. In Mudit Ridh, you will find e-scooters which are built to last for years.
