Parties essentielles trottinette

Electric scooters have experienced increasing popularity in recent years as a convenient and eco-friendly means of transportation. It has become more than necessary to understand the different components that make them up to fully appreciate their advantages.

Here are the fundamental components:

Batterie trottinette

The battery: The energy heart

The battery is the central element that powers the electric scooter. Usually installed under the deck, it stores the energy needed to propel the electric motor. The battery’s capacity directly influences the scooter’s range, a crucial criteria for commuting. High-performance batteries ensure extended use, reducing the need for frequent recharging.

The motor : Power in action

The electric motor is responsible for the scooter’s movement. Placed in the front or rear wheel, it converts the electrical energy from the battery into motion. An efficient motor ensures a smooth ride, quick acceleration, and consistent speed.

Our E-CROSS MAX 2×2 model is equipped with a dual motor, providing twice the power and performance.

The braking system: Safety first

The braking system is an essential component for user safety. Electric scooters are generally equipped with disc brakes, drum brakes, or electric brakes. Efficient brakes allow for quick and secure stops, reducing the risk of accidents.

The ALL ROAD 5 PRO scooter has two disc brakes to ensure maximum safety even at high speeds.

The control panel: User-technology interaction

The control panel provides users with crucial information such as speed, remaining battery life, and driving mode. A clear and intuitive screen enhances the user experience by providing real-time data, allowing precise control of the electric scooter.

The high-resolution LED screen of the 100 CITY allows you to easily preview driving-related data. A truly smart and multifunctional dashboard.

The lighting: Illuminate your path

Another important aspect of an electric scooter is its lighting system. Front and rear lights are more than just aesthetic accessories; they play a major role in safety, especially during nighttime rides, allowing you to see and be seen by other road users.

The tires : The grip

Tires are often overlooked but crucial components for an electric scooter. They significantly influence stability, ride comfort, and grip. Two types of tires are commonly used: solid rubber tires and air-filled tires.
Solid tires are puncture-resistant and require less maintenance. They provide a smoother ride on smooth surfaces but may be less comfortable on rough terrain due to their lack of cushioning.
Air-filled tires absorb shocks and offer a smoother ride, improving comfort. However, they are more prone to punctures, requiring more frequent maintenance.

The choice between these two types depends on the user’s personal preferences and typical riding conditions.

Our RIDE 100S model is equipped with honeycomb tires, offering both the comfortable shock absorption function of air-filled tires and the puncture-free function of solid tires.

Each part of an electric scooter plays an essential role in its overall operation. The quality of its components not only determines the scooter’s performance but also the user’s safety. By understanding the importance of each element, electric scooter enthusiasts can make informed choices when purchasing and also understand the necessary steps for maintenance.
