IT There are various types of motors used in electric scooters, but DC motors are the main ones, which can be divided into two categories: brushed DC motors and brushless DC motors.
Brushed DC Motor
Features: Brushed DC motors still account for a certain proportion in the market due to their advantages of easy control and low cost. However, due to the maintenance requirements such as regular replacement of carbon brushes and the possibility of sparks during operation, their service life and performance stability may be slightly inferior to brushless motors.
Application scenarios: Commonly found in some entry-level or economical electric scooter products.
Brushless DC Motor
Features: Brushless DC motors have gradually become the mainstream of the electric scooter market with their high performance, long life and low noise. The electrode structure and control circuit of brushless motors are relatively complex, but this also makes their operation more stable and efficient, and reduces maintenance requirements.
Application scenarios: High-end scooters and users who pursue high performance, long battery life and comfortable riding tend to choose electric scooters equipped with brushless motors.
Specific models and parameters
In the actual application of electric scooters, the specific models and parameters of the motors will vary depending on the brand, model and user needs. For example, some models of Ninebot electric scooters use Hall brushless DC motors with power ranging from hundreds of watts to thousands of watts to meet the riding needs of different users.
Other considerations
Voltage selection: The motor voltage of an electric scooter is also one of the important factors affecting its performance. Common voltages include 12V, 24V and 36V. Motors of different voltages will differ in terms of battery life, heat dissipation and vehicle weight, and users can choose according to their needs.
Motor maintenance: Although the maintenance requirements of brushless motors are relatively low, regular inspection and maintenance are still necessary. For example, check whether the motor connection wires are loose and whether the cooling fan is operating normally.
In summary, electric scooters mainly use DC motors, among which brushless DC motors have gradually become the mainstream of the market due to their superior performance. When choosing an electric scooter, users can choose the appropriate motor type and parameters according to their needs and budget.
