Components of Mobility Scooter
The frame of four wheel mobility scooter is mainly divided into iron frame, steel pipe frame, aluminum alloy frame, aviation titanium aluminum alloy frame and so on according to different materials. Electric scooters frame materials vary in cost and price. Most cheap electric scooters usually use iron frames or steel pipe frames, which are bulky and easy to deform. Better scooters usually use aluminum alloy frames or aviation titanium aluminum alloy frames, which are stable and lighter, but the price is relatively high.
Do you know your mobility scooter? Whether you want to buy a mobility scooter or already have a mobility scooter, you should know about it. You not only have to understand how to use it and how to maintain it. You also need to understand mobility scooter parts. In-depth understanding is to better use it.
Mobility Scooters' motors are divided into brush motors and brushless motors. Their distinction involves a lot of expertise. But for the consumer. The advantage of brush motors is that they are low cost. The advantages of brushless motors are that they are less noisy, basically maintenance-free, and have a longer life.
Four wheel electric Scooter's controller is equivalent to the human brain, and scooter's operation instructions are all completed by the controller. It should be noted that the controller of the scooter also needs to be matched according to its motor.A good controller will give you a great driving experience.
Electromagnetic brakes
At present, there are roughly the following two types of electromagnetic brakes on the market: one is the electromagnetic brake controlled by electromagnet + mechanical bite; One is a mechanical brake that manually bites and separates. The former deceleration is achieved by electromagnet snap-in to the motor's active shaft; the latter reduces the speed by mechanically biting the motor to control the electric scooter wheel axle. Since the axle of the mobility scooter is bitten by the gear with the motor's active shaft, the latter may slowly slide down the ramp when braking. Usually this kind of smart old scooter with brakes is safer when going up and downhill, it is recommended that a guardian assist in the rear of the scooter.
Mobility scooter's batteries are divided into lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries, which are important components for providing power support for scooter motors. The Scooter's battery capacity determines its range.
Lithium batteries have the following advantages. First of all, the energy density of lithium batteries can reach 3 times that of lead-acid batteries, which means that lighter lithium batteries can store more power. Secondly, the number of cycles of lithium batteries is also several times higher than that of lead-acid batteries, so the life expectancy is far higher than that of lead-acid batteries. Finally, lithium batteries are less affected by temperature.
But lithium batteries also have drawbacks. Lithium battery prices are higher because their materials are more expensive and the manufacturing methods are more complex. Lithium batteries are less safe, because lithium batteries are mainly organic matter, which is a flammable substance, so there may be a phenomenon of fire and explosion in the event of an accident.
