💡 Important Notes
AGM lead acid batteries are used on practically all electric scooters, bikes, and go karts. Gel batteries are found on some older mobility scooters. Flooded batteries are common in marine and solar applications.
- Typical wattage ranges: 24V–36V systems: 200–300W | 48V–72V systems: 500–700W
- This calculator provides an estimate for single-occupant vehicles
- Does not factor in headwinds, gross vehicle weight, or excessive rolling resistance
- Actual ride time may vary based on specific conditions
- We recommend rounding up to the nearest standard Ah size (e.g., 7Ah, 9Ah, 12Ah, 18Ah, 22Ah, 35Ah)
🔍 Finding Your Exact Specifications
- Motor wattage: Check the label on your motor, the user manual, or the original product listing
- Battery count: Open your battery compartment and count the number of 12V batteries currently installed
- System voltage: Multiply your battery count by 12V (e.g., 4 batteries = 48V system)
