Work out electric scooter range instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Real range is usable energy divided by actual consumption, and both terms are worse than the marketing figure: only about 85% of the pack is usable, and hills, rider weight and cold all raise consumption. Advertised ranges assume a light rider on flat ground at low speed.
Scooter range
range = battery Wh x usable fraction / (consumption x weight factor x terrain factor)
Manufacturers test at 15-20 km/h with a 70 kg rider on flat ground. Real riding at 25 km/h on undulating roads uses 40-60% more energy per kilometre.
Yes. Below 5 degrees a lithium pack delivers noticeably less usable capacity, and range can fall 20-30%.
