Electric Scooter

Has anyone here bought an electric scooter for your kids? what are the pros and cons? what is the trouble you've found with your kids having one? I'm talking about a small one that only goes like 11-15 mph.

the ony trouble is that when my kids r done they forget to put the charger in.but they seem prety safe.

Ok I'm 5 feet, 15, and 78 pounds. I want a cute, girly, electric scooter to ride around my neighborhood. I would like a scooter that i wouldn't grow out of and that is kinda cheap since i'll be paying for it myself. I just can't find any electric scooters that are girly or in girly colors. Thanks!

Cute girly girls don't belong on electric scooters. They belong on 125 cc rompin' stompin' scooters, such as a Vespa or any of the 4 main Japanese brands. A couple years old is ok and a money saver. NO electric,no 49cc, period. To save money buy a bicycle, not an electric. Good luck.

I have a Schwinn 750 watt Electric Scooter. I charge it about three times a week. I'm curious to know whether or not this has a significant effect on my monthly electric bill. I have to admit, though, I don't know much about electricity in general.

So I suppose my question is: How much energy does this thing actually use? How many kwh?

First, estimate your average kWh cost. Look at your electric bill; it should tell you how many kWh you used that month. Take your total $ and divide it by your kWh total. This cost won't be the actual incremental cost, but it should be close enough for this purpose.

Now your scooter: guesstimate how many hours you use it per month (you are the only one who can do that). Multiply the estimated hours per month you use the scooter by 0.75 (750 W divided by 1,000 W/kW) and multiply by a fudge factor of about 0.7 (an estimate saying you run at full power 70% of the time). The result should be an estimate of the kWh your scooter uses per month. Multiply that by your average cost per kWh and you should have a fair approximation.

For example: If you use your scooter 20 hours per month, then 20h/month times 750W divided by 1000W/kW times 0.7=10.5 kWh per month. If your power bill runs $100 per month and you use 1,000 kWh per month, then your average cost is $0.10 per kWh. So 0.10 $/kWh times 10.5 kWh = $1.05 per month. If you assume your battery charger loses about the same amount of power that it transfers, you can easily bump your estimate up to $2 per month.

My sister has a electric scooter but she lost the key. The scooter is perfectly fine there's just one problem.....there's no key. Can anyone help me?

I don't know a lot about electric scooters, but I can imagine you could "hot-wire" it just like any ignition system.
