Electromobility is on the rise and has long since found its way into the everyday lives of many people. This is not just limited to large vehicles such as electric cars, e-buses etc., but also applies to smaller means of transport. These vehicles, such as e-scooters, are known as light electric vehicles and have been growing in popularity for a few years now. However, as an electric vehicle can only ever be as powerful as its battery, we have summarized everything you need to know about this topic here.

What are light electric vehicles?

We are in the area of so-called micromobility. This includes smaller vehicles with an electric drive, so-called Light Electric Vehicles or LEV. According to the definition, small electric vehicles have a maximum design speed of at least 6 km/h and a maximum of 20 km/h. These vehicles must also have the following features:

  • no seat for the driver or self-balancing vehicle with or without a seat,
  • a power limit of 500 W or 1.4 kW for self-balancing vehicles,
  • a steering or handrail,
  • an overall width of no more than 0.7 m, an overall height of no more than 1.4 m and an overall length of no more than 2 m,
  • a maximum weight without driver of 55 kg.

The most common small electric vehicles are e-scooters. Segways and some e-skateboards and pedelecs also belong to this category. Strictly speaking, the classic e-bike does not belong to the category of small electric vehicles, as most models can easily travel faster than 20 km/h, for example.

The advantages of e-scooters and other small electric vehicles

E-scooters have become an integral part of urban transport and almost everyone has ridden one. The small vehicles owe this advance to their many advantages. We have summarised the most important ones for you here.

  • Environmentally friendly: Light electric vehicles are battery-powered and therefore emission-free, quiet and produce no smelly exhaust fumes.
  • Handy: E-scooters in particular are often foldable and therefore easy to transport. Thanks to their compact design and weight limit, they are also ideal for the city, as there is no need to search for a parking space, for example.
  • User-friendly: Not only are they child's play to operate, they are also easy to charge.

Battery for e-bikes and e-scooters: which is the right one?

Lithium-ion batteries are most commonly found in light electric vehicles. The advantages of these batteries are their high energy density, high amperage, lower weight compared to AGM batteries, low self-discharge and long service life.

Classic AGM batteries are also very suitable. These are also maintenance-free, sealed and cheaper to purchase than lithium-ion batteries. Our SUN Battery HC series also impresses with its very high cycle stability, as it was specially developed for demanding cyclical operation.

Would you like to launch a new product on the market or are you looking for the perfect new battery pack for your existing series? Our experts will be happy to help you. We will work with you to develop the right battery pack for your product. Contact us for advice on battery pack customisation.

How long does an e-scooter battery/e-bike battery last?

As e-scooters are generally quite compact and light, there is no room for a huge battery with a long service life. You will therefore need to recharge it after an average of 40 kilometres. It is therefore worth considering whether you can easily replace the battery when purchasing and whether you should buy a spare battery to extend the range. The same applies to e-bikes, even if they can go much further on a single charge. The range of the battery also depends on the following factors: Age, capacity of the battery, frequency and intensity of use, rider weight and weather conditions.

The service life of a battery depends heavily on how the battery is treated during use. You will therefore find some useful tips on how to care for your e-scooter battery in the next section. As a rule of thumb, however, you can remember that with good care, the battery of an e-scooter or e-bike has a service life of around 4 – 6 years.

How do I care for my e-scooter battery?

As the e-scooter battery is often the most expensive component of the scooter, it should be treated appropriately. This will extend the service life of your battery and ensure that you enjoy riding for a long time. Follow these tips:

  • Read through the manufacturer's instructions and pay particular attention to the information on the battery.
  • Unless the instructions recommend otherwise, fully charge the battery before the first ride.
  • The battery should not be stored below 5°C or above 30°C. If the battery is not used for a longer period of time, it should be removed from the vehicle and ideally stored between 10°C and 20°C in a place protected from light.
  • Complete charging and discharging should be avoided. A charge of 80-90 % is sufficient.
  • Only use suitable, certified and high-quality batteries for your e-scooter or e-bike. You should also only charge the battery with an original charger.
  • Protect the battery from falls, impacts and high temperatures.
