Long-range E-scooters: What You Need to Know

Incredible performance is one of the foremost qualities that people look out for when buying an electric scooter. This is why long-range e-scooters are in high demand all around the world. An electric scooter’s range or mileage refers to the distance to which it can travel on a single charge. 

Everyone wants to be able to drive for a long distance after they’ve charged their device. This is why you need to pay attention to the mileage of the electric scooter before you make the purchase. 

Some of the best long-distance e-scooters include:

  • Äike T 
  • Ninebot Max
  • TurboAnt X7 Pro

In this article, we will share some insight on electric scooter range, and guide you on how to choose the best long-range electric scooter. 

 

What Is the Typical Range of an E-scooter?

Many electric scooters are only designed to travel within a short distance. Hence, on average, most products have a one-charge distance of 25 km to 40 km. While this is applicable to many popular brands, you will also find brands with a long distance of more than 80 km, and those that can barely go up to 20 km on a single charge.

Different Range Categories

Electric scooters can be categorized into three groups based on the distance they can cover on a single charge, namely long range, very long range, and extremely long range.

Long-Range E-Scooters

Long mileage scooters are regular micromobility devices that can travel a distance of 20 miles (ca. 32 km) to 40 miles (ca. 64 km) on a single charge. Most regular commuter rides belong in this category, and they’re often used for short commutes around paved cities. 

Budget scooters as well as powerful lightweight scooters fall into this category, including the Äike T. This category is most preferred among users because of their maximum speed, which falls within the speed limit allowed in many cities. They also tend to be lighter compared to the ones with a higher distance.

Very Long-Range E-Scooters

This category takes it a notch higher and travels through distances of between 40 miles (ca. 64 km) and 60 miles (ca. 97 km). Their battery capacity and motors are stronger than the former category, and they can reach very high speeds that may not be ideal for riding on streets and city centers. 

Extremely Long-Range E-Scooters

The longest range scooters belong in this category. They can travel over 60 miles (ca. 97 km) distance on a single charge. As expected, they have the largest capacity batteries and the most powerful motors. In most cases, they could be off-road scooters designed for plying on rough terrain.

How Do I Pick the Right Long-range E-scooter?

Ideally, long-range electric scooters offer a higher value to users than the ones that can only cover an average distance. However, you need to consider the following: 

  • Support: Ensure that it comes with an aerospace aluminum or carbon fiber grade handlebar to support your weight and allow you to control the ride seamlessly. 
  • Portability: Don’t sacrifice ease and comfort for long-distance performance. If you live in an urban area where you need to move around with your device often, it is best to buy a foldable, lightweight brand that you can carry around with ease. 
  • Balance: You can reduce your risk of accidents and injuries by buying only products with a wide-standing deck. So, while checking the distance your micromobility device can cover on a single charge, you need to also ensure that the deck is wide enough to keep you balanced when commuting. 
  • Tires and suspensions: You definitely want to buy a product with high-quality pneumatic tires and suspensions to ensure that your commuter doesn’t shake on bumpy roads and uneven terrains. 

Prioritizing these features will help you choose the best electric scooter that will serve you for a long time.

Maximum Ranges Quoted by Manufacturers Vs. Realistic Ranges: These Are the Differences

Although manufacturers often quote a high range for their products, the reality is that those figures tend to differ from the actual realistic mileage that users get when they use these rides. These disparities exist because manufacturers test their products in an ideal environment, which isn’t the same as the environment in which users use the vehicle. 

For instance, they test for range on smooth and flat roads with little or no wind interference. They could also perform the test in eco-mode, as this is ideal for prolonged battery life. When you expose the device to real-life environments and riding conditions, you’ll most certainly end up getting a lower mileage than the one quoted by the manufacturer.
