1. What is a Scooter Calories Burned Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates the calories burned while riding a scooter based on your body weight, activity duration, and MET value.

Purpose: It helps fitness enthusiasts and weight loss seekers understand the energy expenditure from scooter riding activities.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( E \) — Energy expended (kcal)
• \( MET \) — Metabolic equivalent (6 for moderate scooting)
• \( W \) — Body weight (kg)
• \( t \) — Activity time (hours)

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

3. Importance of Calorie Calculation

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

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your weight in kg, activity time in hours, and MET value (default 6 for scooting). All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a good estimate but actual calories may vary based on terrain, speed, and individual metabolism.

Q3: Should I adjust the MET value?
A: Yes - use 4 for leisurely riding, 6 for moderate, and 8+ for vigorous scooting or uphill.

Q4: Can I use pounds instead of kg?
A: First convert pounds to kg (divide by 2.205) or we can add this feature in future updates.

Q5: How does this help with weight loss?
A: Knowing calories burned helps create a calorie deficit when combined with diet control.
