Five scooters with the prefix "electro"

The American company Razor "ate more than one dog" in the production of scooters. The Power Core E3 model is well suited for the role of the first self-propelled vehicle, sharpened for children and adolescents 8 years old and older with a height of 110 to 170 cm.

In addition to kids, a scooter can easily carry a fragile girl weighing up to 55 kg - this is the mark that indicates the maximum carrying capacity of a two-wheeled electric vehicle. From a place, the model starts off when repulsed by the foot, after which the electric motor is switched on. Its forces are driven into rotation by the rear all-rubber wheel. The front wheel, in turn, is "shod" in an inflated tyre.

A quick set of speed when riding a scooter stops at a figure of 18 km / h. You can't expect more from a kid-friendly model. You can ride along the park paths for up to one and a half hours in a row, after which the Razor Power Core E100 will be asked to charge the battery. It is highly desirable not to lose sight of the fact that, due to the low clearance, the scooter makes strict demands on the quality of the roadway.

The steering speaker of the model does not add up, but the position of the steering wheel in height can be flexibly adjusted to the growth of a small rider (adjustment is available in the range of 7.5 cm). The electric scooter is equipped with a footrest for parking. With such a vehicle, the child is provided with increased attention from peers and all opportunities for exciting walks are provided.

In the name of the scooter from the domestic company PrologiX, it is not in vain that attention is focused on the Carbon prefix, which indicates the use of a lightweight and high-strength material of the same name in the design. Due to the carbon frame, the scooter is practically a "fluff" among the models of the "electro" family - it weighs only 6.3 kg.

Light weight combined with compact size and easy carrying of PrologiX Carbon Fiber 5.5 in hands opens up new scenarios for scooter operation. So, together with it you can combine trips by public transport and independent movement around the city. The main thing is to choose smooth roads for trips with a minimum of bumps and potholes, because small wheels (5.5 inches in diameter) are not very suitable for conquering off-road.

The battery of the model is organically integrated into the front pillar, and the energy threads from it are launched to a 200 W electric motor, which is connected to the front wheel. It will be possible to leave the starting point on a scooter for a distance of up to 25 km, which will take an hour with a small “tail” – the maximum speed of the PrologiX Carbon Fiber 5.5 barely exceeds 20 km/h.

Data on the current value of the speed, the remaining battery charge and the distance covered are displayed on the display of a miniature on-board computer. It also serves to select one of three speed modes with restrictions on the maximum speed mark. In the dark, a bright LED headlight illuminates the road for the “lightweight two-wheeled horse”. Another plus of the model lies in the fact that it can be bought without much stress for the wallet.

The backbone of Airwheel brand products is a personal electric vehicle of a new era. For example, a familiar scooter in the skillful hands of the company's engineers is transformed into a self-propelled vehicle, standing on which you no longer need to push off with your foot from the ground.

The model is devoid of the main problem of peers - the unnatural position of the rider's body due to the peculiarities of setting the legs on a narrow deck at an angle. Airwheel Z5T is equipped with folding platforms, due to which the legs will stand straight in the direction of the scooter. In this position, it is much more convenient to overcome long distances and ride longer.

The driving force of the electric motor accelerates the two-wheeled vehicle up to 20 km/h. A similar figure appears in the characteristics of the range of the model, however, in reality, such a distance is overcome only in perfect conditions (with a light rider when riding at medium speed on a flat roadway). The maximum load capacity of the scooter is 120 kg.

Airwheel Z5T quickly folds into the transport position - if the battery suddenly runs out or you want to continue further on public transport, you can carry the 11-kilogram scooter in your hands. To avoid spontaneous unfolding of the structure, the steering rack is fixed in a special groove.

The controls of the model are displayed on the steering wheel: the accelerator handle is installed on the right side, and the rear drum brake lever is on the left. Additionally, the scooter is equipped with a front shock absorber, a bell and headlights. And as a bonus, the owner of the Airwheel Z5T is offered the opportunity to recharge mobile devices while driving - the battery shares energy with them through a full-sized USB port.

The first electric scooters under the sign of the Ninebot brand, which is the successor of the notorious Segway company, went to the masses in 2017. The KickScooter ES1 model is the youngest in the debut series, but you should not write it off.

Outwardly, the "electric train" cannot be distinguished from the classic representatives of the genus scooters. It's all about the hidden laying of cables and batteries hidden from prying eyes with a total capacity of 5200 mAh. The batteries have merged with the steering speaker, which is why it stood out with an increased thickness and does not support height adjustment. Nevertheless, holding the steering wheel is comfortable regardless of height, you just need to adapt a little.

The model is put on 8-inch wheels, “shod” in tubeless tyres. Between the bottom of the scooter and the roadway, a clearance of about 8 cm is provided, which is enough for comfortable trips on city roads. Small irregularities along the route are “eaten up” by the front depreciation. At maximum wheel speed, the electric scooter rushes at a speed of 20 km / h, the electronics no longer allow to accelerate. It is noteworthy that when coasting, part of the energy is returned to the battery tanks thanks to the recuperation function, the level of which is configured in the smartphone application.

The scooter keeps in touch with a mobile phone via a Bluetooth network through the Segway-Ninebot application. It provides settings for blocking the model, setting the maximum speed of movement and full trip statistics are available. In order not to be distracted by the smartphone screen while driving, the Ninebot KickScooter ES1 steering wheel has an on-board computer that shows data on the current speed and battery remaining.

The front brake in the arsenal of the device is electronic (the braking effect is achieved by pressing the trigger located on the steering wheel), and the rear is mechanical. In parallel, it acts as a splash guard. The deck of the scooter is covered with a silicone pad - non-slip, but quickly gets dirty. In addition, the model is equipped with a folding footboard, a bright LED headlight and a mechanism for folding the structure in one sitting. In the bottom line, the Ninebot KickScooter ES1 will be an excellent option both for a “pen test” in the field of personal electric transport, and for permanent use in the urban rhythm of life.

The LikeBike S10 Plus electric scooter is a direct competitor to fuming gasoline scooters. It's no joke, in the urban cycle of movement, he is able to go faster than the flow of cars, developing speeds above the "passport" 48 km / h.

The model is equipped with a double-lever depreciation and rear linkage suspension, which "work out" the bumps and potholes of the roadway. It is desirable to hold on to the steering wheel when driving on poor coverage, since backlash is sometimes found in the design of the device. Fortunately, the steering speaker can flexibly adjust to the growth of any rider.

To control the parameters of movement, in particular, the current speed and residual reserves of "fuel", the LikeBike S10 Plus was armed with an on-board computer, which is mounted on the steering wheel. The mileage of the scooter from socket to socket is 25-30 km, which approximately corresponds to the range declared by the manufacturer.

The model is stopped by rear drum and front disc brakes with a sensitive response to the rider's commands. The additional assets of the electric scooter include a bright LED headlight and a taillight with a brake light. He would also have a slightly smaller weight, so that the device would be easier to carry in his hands, and there would be no equal to a scooter at all. However, it doesn’t have any special “racing” competitors - in terms of acceleration dynamics with the help of an 800-watt engine and “flight” speed, LikeBike S10 Plus is head and shoulders above its closest rivals.
