electronic scooters

May I suggest here as a mechanical engineer who knows a little bit about electronic bikes and cars. Actually such bikes run a set on rechargeable batteries who have a life of about 300 re-charges. Once the battery is to be replaced after an year or so the cost of the same is more than the petrol you saved through the year and the power it needs to take to recharge it. Besides the power position would make things worse for the user. Finally the battery has limited power to cover a short distance only. Good for city users but for a very high cost. The bike has no moving parts apart its wheal and the spares are too costly. Initially there won't be no expert mechanics to attend to it but the authorized service centers only.

Wow ! Superb

Its look is very nice.
It's good that BMW Motorrad has Supreme dynamic performance and simple handling.

Yes I think initially any technology has some problems and I think @Sunil has explained it well... :) . This is better for shorter distances only. If I am right already one branded company has introduced such scooter before in India...

There are hundreds of brands available in Indian market for 20k to 30k range but no one is interested in them any more. Actually most of them are made in China and too poor in quality.
One car is doing alright manufactured in Bangalore India, "REVA" That one is good as quality is okay but again too costly to maintain.

Electronic scooter is good invention. This will reduce the consumption of petrol but increase the use of electricity or battery.

very nice electronic scooter. All 30 slides are so good.

It is a nice invention and no petrol and easy to ride specially to women.

Possibly, electronic scooters are in stage of infancy. Let us hope that there will be more improvement and at some time, these may prove as viable vehicle at least for city use. These are pollution and news free.

the electronic scooter looks great look. I like to go for it. It saves petrol cost more. But, Already there are many electronic scooters available in India. As Sunil ji explained well about electronic scooter and its problems. I hope it will get well on future.. :cheer:

Oh really I missed the suni's post. Battery is costly also.But it is pollution free.

No petrol but it takes 12 hours to recharge the batteries which consumes 2 units and run only 50-60 km in one recharge and after 300 recharges the battery must be changed at the cost of 10k+. now calculate the running cost. If it goes out of order on the way, just imagine a woman's position when there is no mechanic to repair it.

Hence, there is need for improving batteries. The batteries need be more powerful and charged for longer distances. also there should be provision for two batteries. If one goes out of order, another may be used.

This already is a set of batteries with lots of weight to carry, two batteries wont be practical. They must provide recharging stations like they have in other countries where such bikes are in practice. These stations have powerful charging facilities to charge them up in a short period.

Electronic scooters are much expensive than petrol as it need charging of batteries which consume lot of electric energy.And beside these a typical electric motor scooter travels approximately 10 miles per hour, although some are capable of going 20 miles per hour. It may also have problems merging or keeping up with the speed of traffic. It's best to avoid streets that have a lot of traffic if we are riding an electric motor scooter. Also, an electric motor scooter will require an outlet in a convenient location. Unfortunately, there are few electrical power outlets located near streets or driveways.

A few companies have come up with maximum speed of 60km/hr but lack of expert mechanics and frequent motor failure have made the bike a total no-no.
