Settings of your electric scooter
The adjustment of an electric scooter depends on several parameters such as the model of your electric scooter or what you expect from your vehicle. Many users buy electric scooters without knowing how they work. However, electric scooters have an electrical system whose settings are limited depending on the chosen model. That is why it is essential to know how to configure your electric scooter so that it meets your standards as a user. Through our articles, at Weebot we will help you adjust your two-wheeler so that you can use it as you wish.
How to change mode on an electric scooter?
There are many brands of electric scooters that have their own way of being adjusted. However, to make life easier for some users, some electric scooters have similar configurations.
To change mode on a classic electric scooter, simply press the button to start your electric scooter. Once your electric scooter is turned on, double press to change mode. Some electric scooters have a screen where you can change the mode of your electric scooter simply by touching it.
How to increase the speed of an electric scooter?
Unlocking an electric scooter means increasing its top speed. According to the law, electric scooters must not exceed a speed of 25 km/h except on private property. Some speed enthusiasts therefore play along and unlock their electric scooter to be able to move at full speed on permitted grounds.
To unlock your electric scooter, you can equip yourself with an unlocking kit or consult a professional who will do it for you. If you want to do it yourself, know that you are responsible for all modifications made to your vehicle. It is therefore important to inform yourself before making unnecessary improvements that could damage your vehicle.
The higher the voltage of your battery, the faster your electric scooter will go. However, also make sure that your motor and speed controller are capable of operating even with a high voltage.
The different methods to unlock an electric scooter
There are different methods to unlock your electric scooter. Note that not all these methods are suitable for every type of vehicle. For example, some vehicles reach a top speed that complies with current speed regulations and therefore cannot be improved. Here are some methods that work on a large part of the electric scooters on the market:
- Cable unlocking: You just need to unplug a cable or cut it depending on the model of your electric scooter. This operation is generally performed by professionals. Note that some manufacturers may refuse to honor your warranty if you perform this operation.
- Electronic unlocking: This method consists of replacing the firmware of your electric scooter’s controller with a different firmware. This will allow you to increase the speed and acceleration of your electric scooter. This technique works on electric scooters whose controller is equipped with a Bluetooth port or third-party applications that allow you to access the firmware.
- Unlocking by replacing components: For this technique, you will need to change the battery, motor, or controller of your vehicle. This operation will allow you to increase the performance of your vehicle.
