Hi all, I have recently acquired a 500w 48v 10inch electric scooter.. speed and range is quite good..
However, a friend of mine has had his scooter (same body) fitted with a geared (the one with the planetary gears thingy), also the same 500w and 48v rating and also 10 inches, however when we tried to drag race his accelerated like it was nobody's business, it was like seeing turbo car vs the non turbo variant..
Both same power rating and body, Is that insane acceleration all to do with the geared vs gearless motor (eg, is this a characteristic of geared motors?) or is it something else?
Cheers!
