Maintaining your electric scooter

 How does an electric scooter work?

To function properly, your electric scooter relies on its components. To understand how your electric scooter works, it is therefore essential to learn more about its components.

The electric motor: Electric scooters are most often equipped with a lithium-ion motor. These are very powerful engines, which depending on the model, can allow you to tackle many types of roads. To operate, the motor of an electric scooter draws its energy from the battery.

The controller: This is the “brain” of the scooter. It allows energy from the battery to be distributed in the correct sequence throughout the electric scooter to operate the motor, power the lighting systems, etc.

The accelerator trigger: It manages the speed of your vehicle. You can therefore adjust it as you wish.

The batteries: This is the energy reserve of your electric scooter. It is made up of cells linked together and a BMS (Battery System Management). The BMS is responsible for protecting and recharging these cells. It also manages the voltage, balancing, and temperature management of the motor.
