Can Increasing the Throttle Voltage Improve Electric Speed?
2 Answers
Increasing the throttle voltage cannot improve electric speed. Removing the speed limit wire: Many electric vehicles owned by shop owners use a speed limit wire to restrict speed. If the speed is limited by such a wire, it is very easy to resolve. Simply open the internal structure on the side or rear of the electric vehicle, locate the speed limit wire, and then remove it. Adding an additional battery: This method is also particularly practical. The speed of an electric vehicle is maintained at its optimal level under a certain working voltage. Adding an extra battery to the electric vehicle can increase its working voltage, thereby increasing the speed of the electric vehicle.
I've modified the throttle voltage on a few electric scooters before, and it does sometimes make the scooter go faster. If you directly increase the voltage, the motor might spin faster because more power means stronger thrust. But it's not something you can just do casually—you have to consider the original controller's specifications, which are designed to handle a certain voltage range. Exceeding it can easily burn out the controller or motor. Last time I tried it, the scooter accelerated quickly, but the battery overheated, drained faster, and its lifespan shortened. Plus, it's unsafe—if the circuit shorts, there could be danger. It's best to refer to the manufacturer's manual or consult a professional for tuning rather than tinkering on your own, or you might end up losing more than you gain.
