Questions riders ask
How far can a 360 Wh electric scooter go?
About 17.929 miles for a 180 lb rider cruising at 15 mph on flat ground, using roughly 18 Wh per mile and 90 percent of the pack before the controller cuts off. Slower riding stretches it to about 26.543 miles at 10 mph; hills, headwinds and cold shorten it. The range calculator takes your exact weight, speed and terrain.
How long does a 360 Wh scooter battery take to charge?
On the common 42V 2A (84 W) charger, about 5.3 hours from empty, including the slow final top-off. A 3A or 4A charger approved by the maker shortens that proportionally. A full charge costs about 7 cents at 17 cents per kWh.
Is 360 Wh enough for my commute?
Take your one-way distance, double it and add 25 percent. If that is under about 14 miles, a 360 Wh scooter covers it at 15 mph for a 180 lb rider on flat ground, with margin for cold days. Heavier riders, faster cruising or real hills need a bigger battery, or a charger at work.
