1. What is a Scooter Performance Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates the range of an electric scooter based on battery capacity and energy consumption.

Purpose: It helps riders and potential buyers understand how far their scooter can travel on a single charge.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( R \) — Range (kilometers)
• \( P \) — Battery capacity (Watt-hours)
• \( E \) — Energy consumption (Watt-hours per kilometer)

Explanation: The battery capacity is divided by the energy consumption to determine how many kilometers the scooter can travel.

3. Importance of Range Calculation

Details: Accurate range estimation helps prevent being stranded with a dead battery and allows for better trip planning.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the battery capacity in Wh (found in scooter specifications) and energy consumption in Wh/km (default 15 Wh/km for average scooters). All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a typical energy consumption for e-scooters?
A: Most scooters consume 10-20 Wh/km, with 15 Wh/km being average for standard models.

Q2: How do I find my scooter's battery capacity?
A: Check the product specifications, usually listed as Wh (Watt-hours) or sometimes as V and Ah (multiply these to get Wh).

Q3: Why is my actual range different from the calculation?
A: Real-world factors like rider weight, terrain, speed, temperature, and tire pressure affect actual range.

Q4: Does this include battery degradation?
A: No, for older batteries, consider reducing capacity by 10-30% depending on age and usage.

Q5: How can I improve my scooter's range?
A: Maintain proper tire pressure, ride at moderate speeds, avoid frequent acceleration/braking, and reduce extra weight.
