Speed Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator estimates the speed of an electric scooter based on its motor power, total mass, and acceleration.
Purpose: It helps e-scooter users and manufacturers understand the theoretical speed performance of their vehicles.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The motor power is divided by the product of mass and acceleration to determine the theoretical speed.
Details: Understanding speed performance helps in selecting appropriate e-scooters for specific needs and ensuring safety compliance with local regulations.
Tips: Enter the motor power in watts, total mass in kg, and acceleration (default 1.0 m/s²). All values must be > 0.
Q1: Is this the actual speed I'll get on my e-scooter?
A: This is a theoretical calculation. Actual speed may vary due to factors like wind resistance, terrain, battery condition, and efficiency losses.
Q2: What's a typical acceleration value for e-scooters?
A: Most e-scooters accelerate at about 1.0 m/s², but performance models may have higher values.
Q3: How do I find my e-scooter's motor power?
A: Check the manufacturer's specifications - common values are 250W, 500W, or 1000W for performance models.
Q4: Should I include my weight in the mass calculation?
A: Yes, include both the scooter's weight and the rider's weight for accurate results.
Q5: How do I convert m/s to km/h or mph?
A: Multiply m/s by 3.6 for km/h or by 2.237 for mph.
