Gearless E-Scooter An Ideal Choice for Everyone

BGauss · March 15, 2022 ·

In the past, whenever one would think of commuting to a specific destination or any destination for that matter, the ideal choice would always be fuel-based vehicles such as cars, bikes, scooters or trains. A majority of the population has been heavily dependent on such fuel-based vehicles for their everyday travel. But the rise in the amount of harmful vehicular pollutants in the air has consequently caused a significant increase in global warming, leading to a severe decline in the quality of air around the world.

Due to these factors, the authorities decided to encourage, or rather mandate, a shift towards electric scooters by promoting the adoption of new-generation electric vehicles for urban transportation to improve the air quality and help people save money.

This has led to a new era favouring electric vehicles known as The EV Revolution. Electric vehicles are powered by geared or gearless hub motors. To understand better about the two, a gear reduction system connects the geared hub motor and the stator.

Consequently, each time its case rotates, the internal gear rotates at a higher speed. This allows the motor to comparatively work at a faster and efficient speed, however make them less powerful. In general, geared motors have more friction, and more moving parts. That results in higher wear and tear, a shorter life span and more expenses in defects and repairs.

In comparison, the gearless hub motor’s stator combination is more complicated. At the center of the motor, it comprises an axle which is actually the axle of the motor itself with copper windings fixed to it. However, since the motor is big and heavy, it acts as a heat sink and prevents the motor from overcharging easily. Plus, gearless hub motors provide better torque and power and are more suitable for high performance e-scooters. Which means greater power, higher top speeds and better climbing angles.

We suggest you factor in your power and weight requirements before choosing between the two.

Here are a few reasons why gearless e-scooters are the way to go:

Budget-Friendly – If you are exhausted with the recurring costs incurred on the maintenance of your gear-box & fuel tank, then a gearless e-scooter is an ideal choice for you. Why?
Because electric scooters consist of fewer moving parts, all it needs is cleaning parts every now and then, which means that you can wave your mechanic Goodbye!
This, in turn, leads to less maintenance costs when compared to fuel-based scooters, which require frequent servicing and your constant attention.

Easy-to-ride – It gets tiring and complicated to ride a petrol-based gear vehicle. The constant switching of gears is a big pain point for most people.
Here’s when riding a gearless electric scooter comes in handy as there are fewer moving parts, which mainly consist of an electric motor, controller, and battery, making it
light-weight and easier to ride! It’s convenient for anyone to learn to ride an electric scooter as there is no hassle involved because you don’t need to press the clutch or constantly switch between gears.
With BGauss electric scooters, you can experience utmost convenience since they are equipped with three riding modes providing you with high performance and high speed.

So now, switch between riding modes instead of gears at your convenience for an easy & worry-free ride.

Gearless e-scooters require batteries to function efficiently, unlike fuel based scooters which require petrol or diesel.

Maintenance of an electric scooter – Should it be a Cause of Worry?

BGauss · March 14, 2022 ·

Each time we buy a new vehicle or any high-value object for that matter, we are naturally concerned about its upkeep and maintenance. If you’ve just bought a new electric scooter, we understand that you might have a lot of thoughts running through your mind. Well, in order to keep your electric scooter in a good condition, you’ll have to follow the right maintenance techniques and ensure your electric two wheeler is being looked after on a regular basis.

Before we delve into tips to maintain an electric scooter lets understand its factors.

1. Cost of maintenance of an electric scooter
An electric scooter consumes one to three units of electricity per charge (approximately Rs 10 per unit of electricity). Even the most expensive two-wheelers need little more than 3.5 units per charge. You’ll pay no more than Rs 30-35 per charge for two-wheelers with its range varying from 50 to 150 kilometer, which is a very budget-friendly price. In comparison, the cost of petrol per 100 kms of ride would cost over Rs. 150, assuming your vehicle has a mileage of 70 kmpl.

2. Cost and maintenance of the battery
The batteries of electric scooters usually last for 4-5 years and the warranty period ranges from brand to brand. BGauss provides a 3 year warranty on its lithium-ion, portable batteries, keeping you worry free at all times. Moreover, if your battery is damaged beyond the date of warranty, the cost of replacing a battery is very less due to the petrol cost you save round the year. In comparison, people spend over Rs. 70,000 a year on petrol on an average.

What we’re trying to say is that you should not worry about the maintenance of electric scooters since their cost is far less than petrol vehicles.

Now that you’ve understood the cost-breakup, listed below are a few easy tips to maintain your electric scooter and ensure efficient performance.

1. Keep your e-scooter clean: It’s important to keep your e-scooter clean and keep it away from dust and debris that might cause any damage. Wipe your e-scooter before and after every ride. And even if you are not going to use your electric scooter for a while, make sure to keep it clean, especially the battery.

2. Regularly inspect the tyres of your e-scooter: A crucial aspect of maintaining your e-scooter is to regularly check the tyres for any wear and tear.

3. Maintain the battery of your e-scooter: The battery of your electric scooter is critical for its performance. Here are a few points to keep in mind to maintain the battery of your e-scooter.

Always use the original charger since the voltage for different chargers varies and can damage the battery of your electric scooter.
Store your electric scooter battery in the proper temperature range, whether you plan to use it the next day or leave it for a while. Check your unit’s specifications as well, because each one has a different ideal temperature.
The battery of your e-scooter may still be heated after charging it; hence it’s better to wait for 30 minutes before your next ride. BGauss e-scooters come with temperature control, overcharging protection, over-discharging protection and many other features that can keep your battery safe and you stress-free!
If you intend to park your e-scooter for long periods of time, then it’s best to give it a full charge once in 30 days. This practice will keep your battery healthy and avoid premature replacement.

4. Avoid contact of battery with water: BGauss electric scooters are IP67 rated making them completely waterproof and dustproof. However, just like any other electronic device, never allow too much water to shower over the battery or any of its parts for a long time during the rainy season or seasonal flooding situation. Keeping the battery neat and clean will certainly make it more efficient in the long run.

5. Regular servicing: Electric scooters have relatively simpler mechanics and can be easily fixed with basic tools. However, regularly getting a check-up of your e-scooter is essential to detect issues before they escalate. At BGauss, we recommend customers visit the service center as per the service schedule for a regular battery health check-up.
