RIDERS RESOURCES
Battery Range:
This independent testing was completed by Sal Gentile in Europe. Acknowledgement and thanks to Sal for the data. This was posted in the VSett Electric Scooter Facebook page and validates the testing we have completed locally with not only VSett but other manufacturers' scooters also.
Similar to car manufacturers, the scooter manufacturers do their range testing in the lowest mode and at steady low speeds over flat surfaces with lightweight riders.. This is not what happens in the real world and the data below reflects what is possible, and what happens when you push them along. Heavier riders will also burn more battery juice.
Testing completed on the VSett 10+ with 25.6 AH battery.

Sal measured in miles |
Same data in KMs |
|
40 MPH 1ah = 0.85miles Best full battery to dead 23 miles |
64 KPH 1ah = 1.37 kms Best full battery to dead 37 kms |
|
30mph 1ah = 1.2miles Best full battery to dead 30 miles |
48 KPH 1ah = 1.9 kms Best full battery to dead 48 kms |
|
25MPH 1ah = 1.5 miles Best full battery to dead 37 miles |
40 KPH 1ah = 2.4 kms Best full battery to dead 59.5 kms |
|
<20 mph 1ah = 1.75 miles Best full battery to dead 48 miles |
<32 KPH 1ah = 2.8 kms Best full battery to dead 77 kms |
All of these estimates averaged about 1000 feet of elevation gain climbing hills per 10 miles
*All of these estimates averaged about 304 meters of elevation gain climbing hills per 16 kms
In summary, range is fully dependent on rider weight, gradient and speed. In simple maths, halving the speed doubles the range
This testing was also completed using twin motors. Use of single motor and speed reduction to 25kmh (factory test speed) will considerably increase user range available.
