What is the difference between 72V and 60V electric vehicles?
2 Answers
The differences lie in battery voltage and charging voltage. Below are relevant introductions: Fully charge before first use: Newly purchased electric vehicles should be fully charged before use. Since many electric vehicles have been stored in shops for several months or even over half a year, they must be fully charged before use. After full charging, it's best not to use them immediately; let them sit for about ten minutes. Secure battery installation on electric bicycles: When removing the battery for charging and reinstalling it, ensure the battery is securely mounted on the electric bicycle to prevent vibration damage during riding. During battery transportation, avoid dropping, rolling, or heavy pressure.
I've been commuting by electric bike for three years and have tried both 72V and 60V models – the difference is quite noticeable. The 72V version gives me an incredibly fast start; just twist the throttle at a red light and it zooms off, and climbing hills is effortless. However, the battery drains quickly, needing a recharge after just 30-40 kilometers per full charge. The 60V model is much more stable, with a range of 50-60 kilometers, making it ideal for city cruising. I think the choice depends on lifestyle: if you love speed or ride on hilly roads often, the 72V is thrilling; for pure commuting, the 60V is worry-free and durable. Also, the 72V requires a professional charger to avoid overload during charging.
