1. What is a Scooter Calories Burned Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates the calories burned while riding a scooter (running style) based on MET value, body weight, and time.

Purpose: It helps fitness enthusiasts and commuters understand the energy expenditure of scooter riding.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( E \) — Energy expended (kcal)
• \( MET \) — Metabolic equivalent (8 for running with a scooter)
• \( W \) — Body weight (kg)
• \( t \) — Time (hours)

Explanation: The MET value represents exercise intensity, which when multiplied by body weight and time gives total calories burned.

3. Importance of Calorie Calculation

Details: Understanding calorie expenditure helps with weight management, fitness tracking, and exercise planning.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the MET value (default 8 for running), your body weight in kg, and exercise duration in hours. All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a MET value?
A: Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) measures exercise intensity. 1 MET = energy expended at rest.

Q2: Why is MET 8 for scooter running?
A: This represents vigorous scooter propulsion similar to running intensity.

Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a good estimate but individual results may vary based on metabolism and effort.

Q4: Should I use kg or pounds for weight?
A: The calculator uses kg. Divide pounds by 2.205 to convert to kg.

Q5: Can I use this for electric scooters?
A: No, this is for manual scooters only. Electric scooter MET would be much lower.
