I get asked all the time about electric scooter motors. For example, People want to know if a 500 watt electric scooter is faster than a 350 watt electric scooter.Or, they will ask me what a "chain driven motor" is.
The fact is, I couldn't explain what a "chain driven" motor is, anymore than I could explain building a Stealth Fighter!
As far as speed goes, their are a few variables. The Ezip 500, for example, has a 500 watt motor that can help it reach a top speed of 15 mph.
The Currie Ezip 1000, on the other hand, has a 1000 watt motor and has the same top speed of 15 mph.
Why? One reason is the weight differential of the two scooters. The Ezip 500 weighs 55 lbs, while the Ezip 1000 tips the scales at a hefty 85 lbs.
Of course, the weight of the rider makes a difference in top speed, as well.
