I am not sure if adding an additional battery will result in a decrease in range or not though. Regarding increased Voltage: Adding an additional battery usually does not result in increased range because the power consumption of the motor will increase along with the increase in Voltage. For motors in the 900-1000 Watt range, a top speed gearing of 25 MPH or less is suitable. Increasing the Voltage will also work, however, could possibly overheat and burn out the motor. Regarding ways to add speed: Changing the sprockets for a top speed that is within reason for the power of the motor will work. Thank you for joining our forum and for your very well formatted list of questions. ![]() Sorry for the long winded first post but I wanted to confirm my understandings before I get into specific questions. ![]() This seems to be where Lipo/Lion batteries enter the conversation and blow out the budget. Increased Range & Speed: This is always the question it seems but it appears that to truly increase range and speed you must increase the voltage of your scooter AND add batteries that are of considerably higher amp:hour size. So if it comes stock with three 7ah batteries, going to three 10ah batteries would increase range by 43% (more or less). Range: It would appear that the simplest way to add range is to replace the existing size batteries for those of a larger capacity. Is that correct? Would acceleration (even on flats) be also diminished? Changing Sprockets: It is my understanding that changing my motor or wheel (or both) sprocket can increase overall top end speed but it would be at the expense of hill-climb ability and torque. Increased Voltage: By increasing voltage by adding an additional battery, I do NOT necessarily gain more range because even though I add another battery the draw of power will be higher and I will still be at the range of the aH of the battery, correct? I have read that, for example, increasing a 24v scooter to 36v will reduce my range by 33%. Either by altering the sprockets or by increasing the voltage, correct? Are there any other simple methods? Ways to Add Speed: There are two common ways to increase speed. Answers to these questions would be most appreciated. I've done a fair bit of research and I think I've got my bearings but I still would like to confirm on some of my understandings. They are fun but (as you can probably guess) we wouldn't mind more speed and range out of them. ![]() I just acquired two new (to us) electric scooters the eZip 1000 and the eZip 900. The eZip 1000 is designed and intended for riders aged 13 years old and above and offers a weight capacity of 260 pounds.I am new to the forum as well as electric scooter ownership. The battery pack can also be removed easily for indoor charging. The eZip 1000 stores easily thanks to its exclusive Currie folding handlebars while an easy-access charger port in the frame console allows you to plug the battery pack in from the bike. The scooter provides versatile ride options with a large, non-slip standing deck and a removable seat kit. The 1000 offers a smooth ride due in part to it’s front and rear suspension paired with low-profile, 12.5 by 3-inch Street Slick tires to take the bump out of the road. What makes the eZip 1000 stand out among other electric scooters is that it was designed for comfort. The eZip 1000 is ideal for commuters who need to get around and aren’t particularly fond of gas guzzlers. The eZip 1000 Electric Scooter from Currie Technologies is an impressive piece of machinery that lets riders travel with ease! This baby boasts an assortment of amazing features, including a 1000-watt, hi-torque DC neodymium magnet motor and a 36-volt rechargeable battery pack, the eZip 1000 is the most commanding scooter in the eZip line.
