A To Z: Everything You Must Know About Electric Scooters

Electric scooters are revolutionary. They are not only extremely inexpensive (yes, they will help you save a ton of money!), but they also make a positive impact on the environment. However, even today, we all have numerous questions when it comes to electric vehicles and when they aren’t answered, we simply stick to the traditional gasoline-run vehicles because that’s something we have known all our lives. But, don’t you think it is high time we change that? Today, we answer all your questions, right here. Take a look at everything you must know about electric scooters. 

How fast can an electric scooter go?

As fast as you want. Yup. Just like a traditional petrol-run scooter, you are the one who controls the speed. Just because it is electric, it doesn’t mean it can’t go fast.

How long does it take to charge electric vehicles?

The exact time depends on the brand and the model. For instance, Wolf Bike’s (Joy-e-bikes) charging time with a normal charger is 3.5 hours and with a fast charger is 2.5 hours. And, when your bike is completely charged, it can go up to 70 km approximately.

Are electric vehicles efficient?

Electric vehicles are as efficient as fuel-run vehicles if not more. It is important for us to get out of this misconception that electric vehicles don’t perform as well as traditional vehicles.  In fact, most electric vehicles are almost 90 percent efficient, when it comes to converting energy into motion. Therefore, you can actually depend on them.

How much does it cost?

Now here comes the most exciting part. It’s just 21 paise per km. No, it’s not a typo. It really costs merely 21 paise per km. When was the last time you bought something within a rupee? Probably never!

How long will the batteries last?

It depends on the type of battery you use. For instance, lead-acid batteries, the ones you find in gas-run vehicles, they might not even make it a whole year. However, lithium-iron-phosphate batteries are excellent and can last more than ten years. Therefore, always check with the vehicle maker about the type of battery he is using to ensure quality.

Are electric vehicles safe?

Yes. To enter the market, any vehicle must meet all the government standards. So, don’t worry, your safety isn’t compromised.

Why electric vehicles are expensive when compared to traditional vehicles?

Electric vehicles are expensive mainly because of the batteries. But remember, it is a one-time charge. You end up saving money on fuel and let’s not forget, you are doing the environment a huge favor. So in the end, it’s worth it, isn’t it?

If I am planning a long drive, is it possible?

Yes, you can always carry an extra battery with you. It’s very simple.

Is it true that electric bikes don’t require much maintenance?
