I mean, E Bikes I see 250, 350, 500, 750, 1000 and 1,500. Most Everyone here has seen enough ads to have a general feeling about the number of bikes advertised (and consequentially sold?) in what power groupings- legal limits in areas make this almost not a guess. I'm sure in Germany 99% of all E bike sales are 250W- their maximum the law allows for road-legal.
Scooters however...woah. I frequently (for the non-365/hiboy/gotrax/ninebot configuration) see scooters advertised as over 1.5kw. Just saw one that had a single motor at iirc 2,300w.
I take it that a plurality (or is it more like 99%?) of e scooters are direct drive motors since the small wheel size lessens the need for gearing... fine that accounts for a general trend of scooter motor power quotes looking like some equivalent to direct drive E bike hub motors.
But not all of the discrepancy in quoted power can be chalked up to direct drive. Even if the numbers are some kind of instantaneous peak power they seem high.
does anyone have insight into this?
