Long range electric mopeds
Navigating through the city on an electric moped is a convenient and economical way to travel. But when looking for the perfect electric moped for your needs, range – that is, how far the electric moped can travel on a single charge – can be a crucial factor.
Long-range electric mopeds offer increased mobility and greater flexibility. These mopeds are particularly valuable for those who regularly drive longer distances, perhaps for daily commutes or weekend excursions.
With a long-range electric moped, you can extend your adventures, reduce the number of charging breaks and get more time on the road. In addition, a powerful battery can contribute to a more consistent performance, even when battery levels start to drop.
Therefore, choosing an electric moped with a long range can be a good investment, especially if you plan to use your electric moped regularly and over longer distances. In this guide, we will explore what makes an electric moped a long-distance operator, and why it might be the right choice for you.
Battery Electric moped
The battery is the heart of your electric moped and plays a crucial role in how far you can travel on a single charge. Modern electric mopeds are usually equipped with lithium-ion batteries, known for their long-lasting performance and fast charging time. These batteries can typically cover a distance of up to 50-100 kilometers, depending on the moped model and specifications.
Evess electric mopeds take it one step further with perhaps the best batteries on the market from Samsung. With a capacity of 26 Ah, our mopeds can offer a range of up to 60 kilometers. This gives you the freedom to explore longer and more extensive routes without worrying about running out of battery.
But not all electric moped batteries are created equal. The capacity of the battery – measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) – is what determines how far you can travel. The higher the capacity, the further you can travel. Therefore, if you are looking for a long-range electric moped, you should consider a model with a high-capacity battery.
Some electric mopeds also offer the option to upgrade to a larger battery, or to install an extra battery for even longer range. Evess offers dual batteries, giving you the advantage of traveling further without having to worry about running out of battery. This can be a great option for those who often drive long distances and want the extra peace of mind that extended range can offer.
Remember that there are many factors that can affect the range of your electric moped, including driving style, weather conditions, terrain and load. By driving carefully, avoiding unnecessary loads and maintaining your electric moped well, you can maximize battery life and range.
Charge your electric moped: How, Where and When?
Charging your electric moped is simple and straightforward. In fact, it can be as easy as charging your cell phone. You just connect the charger to the electric moped and plug it into a standard wall socket. It usually takes between 4-8 hours to charge a fully discharged battery, depending on the size of the battery and the capacity of the charger. If the battery is not fully discharged, it will of course take less time.
For best results, you should charge your electric moped indoors, in a dry and cool environment. Avoid charging the battery in very cold or hot conditions, as this can negatively affect the performance and life of the battery.
Keeping the battery charged is important not only to maximize the range, but also to preserve the health of the battery. If you plan not to use your electric moped for an extended period, for example during winter, you should charge the battery regularly. A fully discharged battery can lose its charging capacity and be permanently damaged.
When it comes to where to charge your electric moped, you have many options. You can charge it at home, at work, or at public charging stations available in some locations. With an Evess electric moped, you also get the benefit of a portable battery, which means you can take it with you and charge it anywhere there is access to electricity. This makes it very convenient for you to always have a fully charged electric moped ready for your next trip.
How much does it cost to charge an electric moped?
The cost of charging an electric moped is often a surprisingly positive aspect for many new owners. Compared to the running costs of traditional fuel-powered vehicles, charging an electric moped is significantly cheaper.
To get an approximate cost of charging your electric moped, you need to know the capacity of the battery (measured in kilowatt hours or kWh) and the local cost of electricity per kWh. E.g. if your electric moped has a battery of 2.6 kWh and your local electricity cost is 1.50 SEK per kWh, a full charge will cost approximately 3.90 SEK. With a fully charged Evess electric moped, you can travel up to 60 km, making it a cost-effective transportation option.
It is important to note that electricity costs can vary depending on the time of day, day of the week and even the season. Many electricity companies offer lower prices during off-peak hours, so you can save money by charging your electric moped during these times.
So, although the electric moped may be a larger initial investment, the savings in the long run can be significant. Not only will you save money on fuel costs, but you are also contributing to a sustainable future by choosing a cleaner and greener transportation solution.
Electric moped with dual batteries
For those really long journeys or those days when you know you’re going to be on the go all day, a dual battery electric moped could be the perfect solution. This concept simply means that you have two batteries for your electric moped instead of one. While you use one, the other can be recharged. In this way, you can extend the range of your moped and make sure you never have to worry about running out of battery.
There are also electric mopeds that allow you to switch between batteries when the first battery runs low, so you can continue your journey without interruption. These models are particularly convenient for those who use their electric mopeds for longer trips or those who may not be able to recharge at their destinations.
Evess offers this option, where you can choose to upgrade your electric moped with an extra battery. Thanks to the efficient and long-lasting Samsung battery in our electric mopeds, you still have an impressive range. With up to 60 km on a single charge and the option to double this with an additional battery, it’s more than enough for most daily journeys.
Long range electric mopeds thus offer a great option for those who want to do their bit to reduce emissions and contribute to a more sustainable future, while saving money on fuel and maintenance. So whether you’re commuting to work, driving to school or just want to explore your local area, a long-range electric moped with dual batteries from Evess could be the perfect choice for you.
