The scooter setting depends on several parameters such as the model of your 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 adjustments are limited depending on the model chosen. This 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 wheels so that you can use it as you see fit.

How to change modes on an electric scooter?

There are many brands of scooters that have their own way of adjusting. However, to make life easier for certain users, some scooters have a similar configuration. 

To change modes on a classic electric scooter, all you have to do is press the button to start your scooter. Once your scooter is on, double press to change mode. Some scooters have a screen where you can change the mode of your scooter just by touching it.

How to increase the speed of an electric scooter?

Unrestraining a scooter involves increasing its top speed. According to the law, electric scooters must not exceed a speed of 25 km/h except on private land. Some speed enthusiasts therefore take part in the game and unlock their scooters to be able to move at full speed on terrain where it is authorized.

To unclamp your scooter, you can equip yourself with a unclamping kit or consult a professional who will do it for you. If you wish to do it yourself, please note that you are responsible for any modifications made to your vehicle. It is therefore important to find out before making unnecessary improvements that could damage your vehicle.

The higher your battery voltage, the faster your scooter will go. However, also make sure that your motor and speed controller are capable of operating even with high voltage.

The different methods for unlocking an electric scooter

There are different methods for unlocking your electric scooter. Please note that not all of these methods are suitable for all types of vehicles. For example, some vehicles reach a top speed within current speed regulations and therefore cannot be improved. Here are some methods that work on most electric scooters on the market: 

  • Cable unclamping: Simply unplug a cable or cut it depending on the model of your scooter. This operation is generally carried out by professionals. Please note that some manufacturers may refuse you the guarantee to carry out this operation.
  • Electronic unlocking: This method consists of replacing the firmware of the controller of your electric scooter with firmware. It is the latter which will increase the speed and acceleration of your scooter. This technique works on scooters whose controller is equipped with a Bluetooth port or third-party applications allowing you to access the firmware.
  • Unclamping 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.
