How to Choose the Right Motor for Your Electric Scooter

モーターとは何ですか?

電気スクーターのモーターは、ユーザーの操作に応じて速度と方向を制御できます, and is one of the core components of an electric scooter. The motor of an electric scooter is usually a brushed motor or a brushless motor, which is powered by a battery to drive the scooter forward.

Brushed motor

How to Choose the Right Motor for Your Electric Scooter

Brushed motors are the oldest form of motor technology, first appearing in the early 1800s. This type of motor was the first commercial application of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. Brushed motors have been widely used in commercial and industrial applications for nearly 140 年.

In a brushed DC motor, mechanical brushes move along the inside of the motor, energizing alternating coils and causing motion. しかし, 時間とともに, these brushes can wear out due to friction, causing unstable voltage that can be dangerous.

Brushless motor

How to Choose the Right Motor for Your Electric Scooter

Brushless motors have digital switching circuits that replace mechanical parts, making the motors more efficient, 耐久性, and better performing. These motors are also called electronically commutated or BLDC motors and are preferred over brushed motors.

They are less prone to overheating and run more quietly, making them widely used in most electric scooters and other electrical applications.

モーターパワー

Electric scooter motor power is measured in watts (W). The wattage stated on the motor is the amount of power the motor can consume. A motor with a higher power rating means it consumes a lot of energy in a short period of time. This also means the motor is powerful because the more energy the motor consumes, the more mechanical power it produces. With more power, the motor will accelerate faster, support heavier riders and climb steep hills.

For moderate slopes and faster acceleration
500-750 W
For hill climbing and higher speeds
750-2000 W
For top performance and climbing steep hills

What is motor torque?

The motor torque of an electric scooter is a measure of the force required to push the wheels forward. It is one of the important parameters of the motor’s output power and one of the important indicators of motor performance. It is usually measured in lb-ft or Nm. Pushing the accelerator causes the motor to rotate the shaft, generating force to push the scooter forward. The greater the motor power of the electric scooter, the greater the torque. Torque is a key factor affecting the performance of an electric scooter. The greater the torque, the faster the acceleration and the stronger the climbing ability.

Type of torque

Torque type
Definition
Applicable terrain
Value points
Continuous torque
The ability of an electric scooter to continuously provide a certain amount of torque during operation without causing overheating or damage to the motor.
Flat ground
How much torque can the motor maintain for a longer period of time to keep the vehicle running smoothly and avoid losing power or overheating.
Peak torque
The maximum torque that a motor can produce in a short period of time.
Accelerating from a start または climbing a steep slope
Choosing an electric scooter with good peak torque can better handle sudden acceleration or rough terrain
Stall torque
The amount of torque an electric scooter’s motor can produce when it is stopped or stalled.
Overcoming obstacles or stopping
Stall torque ensures your electric scooter can smoothly pass obstacles or stop quickly when it comes to a stop.

分析
Evaluation torque specifications
Find information on continuous and peak torque as well as stall torque.
If you want a scooter with more powerfaster acceleration, choose an electric scooter with higher torque.
Consider individual needs
Consider your 重さ そして 地形 you ride.
If you are larger or need to climb steep hills, you may need an electric scooter with more torque, especially at higher speeds;
If you are lighter and ride mainly on flat terrain, a vehicle with less torque may be more suitable for you.
Select the torque requirement that matches your intended application.
Commuting or city travel
Highway or off-road
If you are only using it for 通勤 または city travel, you may need an electric scooter with a lower top speedmore torque;
If you plan to use it on the highway or off-road activities, it may be more appropriate to choose a model with a higher top speed and less torque.

How to maintain an electric scooter motor?

The motor of an electric scooter is usually one of the most reliable parts and does not require frequent maintenance. Most electric scooters are equipped with brushless DC motors that require almost no maintenance. If your motor does not turn, there may be a problem with the controller or battery. Here are some suggestions for maintaining your electric scooter motor.

1. Avoid abusing your electric scooter, do not drive it at the highest speed continuously, and try to avoid climbing too steep hills.
2. Regularly check the motor of your electric scooter for abnormal noise, heating or other problems, and repair and replace it in time.
3. Try to avoid using your electric scooter in a humid environment to prevent the motor from getting wet and damaged.

How to tell if your electric scooter’s motor needs to be replaced?

The lifespan of an electric scooter motor varies depending on the type, frequency of use, and maintenance. 一般的に言えば, a brushless motor can last for several years if well maintained. If there are a few signs that your motor may need to be replaced:

Abnormal situations
Specific manifestations
Motor wear
  1. Decreased top speed: If your scooter is not reaching the speed it once did,
  2. Decreased acceleration: Having trouble climbing hills that you previously could handle with ease.
Abnormal noise from motor
If the motor makes unusual noises, のような grinding または clicking
Motor overheating
Overheating during use
The motor runs unsteadily and continuously
If it loses power while riding, または doesn’t start easily, this could indicate a problem.
While these problems can sometimes be caused by other components, such as the battery or controller, if those components have been checked and are functioning properly, then the problem is most likely with the motor.

結論

Hope that through the introduction of this article, you have a deeper understanding of the motor of the electric scooter. The motor of the electric scooter is its core component, which directly affects the performance and use experience of the scooter. Choosing the motor type and power that suits your needs is an important factor to consider when using an electric scooter. Hope you can travel more safely, conveniently and comfortably when using an electric scooter. Wish you a smooth journey in the world of electric scooters and enjoy the fun of free riding!
