![]() Just changing your scooters battery alone won’t be enough to get that extra MPH / KMH you are looking for, why? because you CANNOT change a scooters battery for a higher voltage battery directly – so a like for like VOLTAGE battery is unlikely to make much difference. If you have a scooter with a small / low amp / weak current controller, the power output to the motors will often be less than the motor is capable of taking. Smarter speed controllers will include things such as “bursts” which allow for a higher AMP output to improve acceleration and overall power output.Īside from your scooters motors, your speed controller can also be a limiting factor. The controller works on a basic I/O system, the throttle will command how much power is required, the controller will send more power to each motor – controlled by your throttle. ![]() Sometimes referred to as an “ESC” or electronic speed controller – they are responsible for power management as well as power distribution to your scooters motor/s. However, uprated controllers are another way to increase your electric scooters top speed and acceleration. On top of that, some scooter controllers will also require the battery to be uprated. This is probably out of bounds for most scooter riders – especially as it can be complex finding an aftermarket controller for your scooter. On some scooters with common LCD control panels you’ll be able to access speed and power output settings through “P SETTINGS”, on other LCD panels such as the one that ships with the XIAOMI M365 you’ll have to connect over the APP interface (bluetooth) to push a rom flash that directly updates the scooters firmware. This can get a little more complex.įirmware speed limiters use the control panel / LCD panel / controllers software to limit power output. The firmware speed limiter will usually be implemented at a control panel level, but, some scooters also have firmware limiting in the controller. You should check to see whether your scooter has a hard wire speed limiter, if it does you can remove it to unlock extra power / speed. Various scooter models will have different implementations – but, most manufacturers make it relatively easy to remove the wire (via a clip or plug) that, when unplugged, will remove all power limitations from the controller. This is usually a wire that bridges a connection between the throttle and controller limiting the controllers power output to the motors. There are 2 types of speed limiter on any electric scooter (made to regulation) and these are: Various countries have different speed limits – it is this reason that scooter manufacturers often ship their models with limiters on them. This is done so that scooters can be sold in certain geographic regions legally.įor example, the maximum speed a scooter can travel in France is 15.5mph, this is the same speed permitted by escooters in the United Kingdom under the rental scheme. Surprisingly, more than 40% of scooters sold globally in 2020 into 2021 were limited with a speed limiter.
