How many hours can a self-balancing scooter last on a full charge?
2 Answers
A self-balancing scooter can typically last about 4 hours on a full charge. Here are detailed specifications about the battery: Overview: The battery is a type of storage battery, also known as an accumulator. Its working principle involves converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The common battery referred to here is a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Additional Information: The plates of a standard battery are composed of lead and lead oxides, with the electrolyte being an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. Its main advantages include stable voltage and low cost. The drawbacks are lower specific energy (the amount of electrical energy stored per kilogram of battery), shorter lifespan, and the need for frequent maintenance.
I used an electric self-balancing scooter for commuting for over a year. With a weight of 65kg on urban flat roads, a full charge lasted about 3 hours. If the rider weighs over 70kg or encounters uphill sections, the range may drop to around 2 hours due to increased motor load. Maintaining a speed of 15 km/h is most energy-efficient; aggressive acceleration will shorten the runtime. The lithium-ion battery has a capacity of approximately 300Wh and takes 4 hours to fully charge. Remember to recharge promptly after use to avoid deep discharge damaging battery lifespan. Beginners are advised to start on flat terrain and monitor remaining power via the companion app. Overall, it's perfectly suitable for short-distance travel—convenient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective.
