Ebike (electric scooter) in China
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
Bicycles are everywhere on Chinese roads, along with thousands of electric scooters. This one indicates 50Km/h at full speed but that's probably a touch optimistic (didn't go full speed in this video) On a full charge with an 80Kg+ rider using mostly full throttle this one will do just under 20 miles before pedal power is needed (it's not as hard as you might think to pedal them). A full charge costs only around 1￥ (10p) so you are looking at about 1300 miles per gallon with zero emissions (of course, with electric vehicles the emissions are passed on elsewhere to the power stations/disposal of batteries). The bikes only cost around 2000￥ (£200, £80 of that is the battery). Interestingly, the drive motor is the rear wheel hub itself, the drive chain is just for the manual crank. Update: Have now fitted a cycle computer speedo to get the true speed - max speed so far has been about 36Km/h, so about 22 Mph! Also max battery range in winter is about 25 Km, (15 Miles) before she's just about out of juice. Should be better in warm weather.

whats the name of this scooter ?
-
It has pedals on there for legal reasons, so it's classified as an E-BIKE, so you don't need insurance or a license to drive these around town on the bike lanes.

You can't beat a 2 stroke for safety, they are loud and drivers know you are there even when they are talking or listerning to the radio, these quiet scooters are dangerous in my opinion. Certainly don't sit in anyones blindspot if you're on one.
-
Are those pedals on there? I'm assuming you can also pedal this scooter manually?
-
use 55 volts or 63 volts in this motor it will go 5O km/h even more ( depend of zise of coper inside motor ) star or delta ,it''s the same motor than bicycle , scooter is uselless becus it's heavier than bicycle and u will go mor"e slow than bicycle ,,

max speed?

@MrKristhefish : Personally, no. but there are people who want to play by the book - In the UK it can save them losing their licence before they even have one.

@mrdragonballz418 : It has pedals for 2 reasons... Firstly anything more than a moderate incline requires pedal assistance. Secondly having pedals (and a limited power output) classifies it as an Electrically Assisted Pedal Bicycle in most countries, eliminating the need for a licence, insurance, helmet, etc... Legislation varies country to country but in the UK 250 watts & 15mph is the limit & can be ridden by anyone over 14. USA allow a little more power but you have to be 16.
