Flat ground, 77 F, air tires, 35 lb scooter. The model adds rolling resistance and air drag, divides by 75 percent battery-to-wheel efficiency and adds 10 percent for stop-and-go. Air drag grows with the cube of speed, which is why 25 mph costs roughly three times the energy per mile of 10 mph.

Questions riders ask
How far can a 1000 Wh electric scooter go?
About 49.68 miles for a 180 lb rider cruising at 15 mph on flat ground, using roughly 18 Wh per mile and 90 percent of the pack before the controller cuts off. Slower riding stretches it to about 73.5118 miles at 10 mph; hills, headwinds and cold shorten it. The range calculator takes your exact weight, speed and terrain.
How long does a 1000 Wh scooter battery take to charge?
On the common 42V 2A (84 W) charger, about 13.3 hours from empty, including the slow final top-off. A 3A or 4A charger approved by the maker shortens that proportionally. A full charge costs about 20 cents at 17 cents per kWh.
Is 1000 Wh enough for my commute?
Take your one-way distance, double it and add 25 percent. If that is under about 40 miles, a 1000 Wh scooter covers it at 15 mph for a 180 lb rider on flat ground, with margin for cold days. Heavier riders, faster cruising or real hills need a bigger battery, or a charger at work.
