Upgrade Your Electric Scooter for Better Performance
Various electric scooter upgrades can elevate your riding experience to the next level. However, you should think twice before getting one to ensure enough value for your money.
Over-upgrading your e-scooter will waste resources if you don’t utilize the improved specs. For instance, switching to a 50-mph motor is pointless when living in an area with a 30-mph speed limit.
Below is a list of electric scooter upgrades to help you decide which ones you need.
Battery
E-scooters generally use a lithium-ion battery. It is the most upgraded part, impacting both the range and speed. Ideally, your vehicle should be able to cover a day’s travel on a single charge.
Tires
Tires affect the stability and speed of an electric scooter. Generally, larger tires improve stability, while thinker tires enhance speed.
Brakes
The brakes determine your stopping power and control over the e-scooter’s acceleration and deceleration. Most scooters use mechanical brakes, which hydraulic or disc brakes can replace for added power. Better brakes are recommended if you often ride downhill or go through crowded areas.
Suspension
Suspension should be the top priority for riders seeking optimum comfort. Select from various types of suspension systems, including spring or hydraulic, based on the terrain. Inadequate suspension can compromise your control over your e-scooter on rough terrain.
Speedometer
A Speedometer will make it easy to track your speed, which can help you avoid exceeding the speed limit. Some speedometers can track other parameters, such as mileage and battery level.
Cruise Control
A cruise control system makes the ride more relaxed and comfier. It can maintain your current speed without the need for throttle control. The device will make long rides less exhausting, both physically and mentally.
Hyperscooter
Instead of making multiple upgrades, you can switch from an electric scooter to a hyperscooter. Hyperscooters offer specs that transcend those of standard e-scooters.
The Flash Motors Infinity X stands out among the new premium scooters introduced this year. It has a top speed of 75 mph (120 kph) and a max distance of 70 miles (110 kilometers).
Its precision braking system uses dual-4 piston disk brakes at the front and back and comes with 11” ultra-wide tubeless PMT Italy tires. Moreover, it uses a patented single-absorber suspension system on both ends.
Lastly, its 6061 aluminum alloy and carbon fiber construction makes it near-impervious to physical impact and resistant to the elements.
