Three factors affect how powerful an electric scooter is.
Voltage (V): Affects the motor’s torque. Higher Voltage = Faster acceleration.
Watts (W): Affects the size of the motors and their power output. Higher Watts = Higher speed.
Watt-Hours (Wh): Affects battery capacity (i.e. the amount of energy it can store). Higher Watt-Hours = The longer the motor can run.
The strength of an electric motor also depends on the length of the wire in its stator’s electromagnet. The longer the wire, the more coils in the stator – and the more powerful the magnetic field. With this added strength comes enhanced power to move the rotor, propelling the scooter at a faster pace.
