Electric Scooter Controller

What is an electric scooter controller used for?

• What is the function of the electric scooter controller?

The controller of an electric scooter is one of the most important parts of the overall operation of your electric scooter. It is this which controls, as its name suggests, the energy of your vehicle.

In all electrical parts, there are two categories:

• Power circuit ( battery , controller, motor )
• Control circuit ( buttons , switch, commodo , accelerator, etc.)

In each type of circuit, whether control or power, the controller acts as the “brain” of your scooter.

• How does an electric scooter controller work?

The controller receives the order given by the element of the control circuit and fetches the necessary energy from the battery to convert it and send it to the element requiring this energy. These elements such as the lights, the engine or the horn are called "the easements".  

In other words, when you press the acceleration trigger of your electric scooter, it is the controller which will take the necessary energy from your battery, to bring it back to the motor and thus provide the acceleration power that you requested to have.

• What are the characteristics of the electric scooter controller?

Nominal voltage 

It corresponds to the number of volts on which your controller will act. Since its energy source is the battery, it is necessarily linked to the voltage or power thereof. Provided, of course, that you have retained your original power circuit.

If your scooter's voltage is 48V, the controller's rated voltage will also be 48V.

The controllers manufactured, corresponding to the voltage of electric scooters currently on the market are:

• 24V electric scooter controller
• 33V electric scooter controller
• 36V electric scooter controller
• 48V electric scooter controller
• 52V electric scooter controller
• 60V electric scooter controller
• 72V electric scooter controller
• 84V electric scooter controller
  

Cut-off voltage

This is the lowest voltage threshold that your controller will tolerate. Below this voltage threshold, the controller considers that your battery is no longer able to provide enough energy. So, in order to protect everything, your electric scooter turns off. You guessed it, it’s time for you to recharge the battery.

Amperage 

It corresponds to the intensity of the electric current. The greater the amperage, the greater the possibility of discharge.

Manufacturer number

It corresponds to the unique number that the manufacturer gives to a category of part. If it manufactures a series of 36 controllers, these 36 controllers will have the same manufacturer number.

Serial number

The serial number corresponds to the unique number given to each part. Let's take a look at the 36 controllers manufactured. These 36 pieces will each have their own serial number.

• What is an electric scooter voltage regulator?

Some scooters are sometimes equipped with 2 controllers: a main classic controller and a secondary voltage regulator also called Ubec.

This works the same way as a controller. Its role is to support the energy converter function of a controller. In a scooter equipped with a voltage regulator, it is the latter which willreduce or increase the voltage taken from the battery to send the right amount of energy required for the service. 

For example, if the LED lights on your electric scooter equipped with 2 controllers require 12 V and your battery is 48 V, it is the voltage regulator that will intervene to adjust the amount of battery voltage sent to your LED.

The voltage regulator must be in line with the element at the end of the chain which consumes the energy to be distributed. It is therefore important to take into account the voltage but also the maximum amperage that delivers the voltage regulator / Ubec and what the easement consumes.

• Why change the controller of your electric scooter?

There are several scenarios that you may encounter that may lead you to replace the controller of your electric scooter. The need to change a defective controller or the desire to personalize your scooter by customizing it. 

A defective controller 

A key part of the proper functioning of your electric scooter, the controller is not indestructible. 

If your product or an element that the controller controls, such as the motor, the LEDS or the horn, no longer works, then there is a good chance that the problem is with the controller. 

We recommend that you first check whether your dashboard (display) and your battery are in working order. If this is the case, take a look at the controller connections.

 There are many possible causes of controller malfunction: 

• Shocks, which can damage the components inside
• Stripped or cut wires 
• Oxidation
• Water infiltration: check using the PHMETER, a colored dot which changes from white to red in the event of the presence of water inside the controller
• A breakdown, due to overcurrent or short circuit

These various causes of malfunction are not covered by the controller warranty of your electric scooter. Only an element of the controller which has burnt out can be covered by the warranty, provided that no changes have been made to it. the original product.

• Customization

If you are looking for thrills, know that it is possible to juggle the various components of your electric scooter by equipping it, for example, with the controller of another scooter in order to increase its performance, its speed or its autonomy. However, we strongly advise against it.

In fact, the original components of your machine's power circuit (motor, controller and battery) are made and assembled to act together. Their operation is linked and must be respected to guarantee the efficiency of your vehicle and thus avoid early malfunctions due to one element being too powerful for another.

• What are the most sought-after controller brands on the market?

You can find a wide choice of controller models for scooters in a price range from €30 to €400.

• How to change your electric scooter controller? 

To replace the controller of your electric scooter, it is first of all important to guarantee your safety by wearing protective gloves in order to avoid any risk of electrocution. 

1. Turn off the scooter.
2. Fold your scooter and place it on a flat surface.
3. Disassemble or open the area where the controller is located.
4. Take a photo of the controller connections to remember them.
5. Check that there has been no water infiltration, if so, wait for it to dry. 
6. Disconnect the battery then the additional connections.
7. Remove the controller from the scooter.
8. Take the new controller which corresponds to the original one.
9. Connect the additional connections then the battery.
10.  Close, unfold the scooter then turn it on. 

• What are the tips for choosing the right electric scooter controller?

Choose an original controller. This has been specially designed to suit the power circuit of your electric scooter.

Take the liberty of customizing your pieces only if you are an expert on the subject. In this case, you risk wearing out your controller prematurely. 

Shunting, which consists of soldering the components of your controller in order to increase performance, is also not recommended. The components of your scooter, or even your controller, may not be able to keep up. The shunt will definitely result in the loss of your warranty.
