A summary of the Uberscoot 1600W 48 v e-scooter specs

The Uberscoot 1600 W 48v e-scooter review can only be done just if you compile a summary first.

Summary

This is one of the most powerful scooters you will ever ride, offering you a wide range of features. This scooter from EVO Powerboards features an unmatched build quality and innovative design. This scooter is built to last with its strong steel frame finished with ABS plastic, a beefy yet sleek construction.

Furthermore, it can accommodate you weighing as much as 265 pounds (120 kgs), making it suitable for you of diverse sizes, shapes, and ages.

The front and rear tyres of the scooter feature 11-inch pneumatic knobby tyres. They provide excellent grip and adequate damping for comfortable riding. In addition, the deck’s size provides ample leg room, while the suspension system’s smooth cam-link front suspension and springs are fully adjustable at the back for impact absorption.

Moreover, the steel body of this scooter provides enough stability even at high speeds, making it safe. Both the front and rear wheels are equipped with disc brakes to provide you with safe and precise stopping power. Because the scooter weighs 117 pounds, you cannot be carried casually. However, the scooter’s frame can be folded, making it easier to transport and store in tight spaces like the back of a car.

Due to the front and rear lights on the scooter, you can ride at night with maximum visibility. As a result of the water resistance rating, you will be able to ride in moderately wet conditions. An optional quick-release seat is included with the scooter, which allows you to choose to ride standing up or sitting down. Your scooter is kept safe by the key ignition, while the kickstand makes parking simple. With the 60-day warranty, you have plenty of time to make sure everything is working correctly.

We’ll get a better sense of this ride’s specifications by digging a little deeper.

Speeds & Accelerations

On this scooter, the 1600 Watt, 48 Volt motor provides zippy acceleration and speeds up to 30 miles per hour. It is important to note that the scooter riding speed is limited to 20 mph, in accordance with scooter riding laws in many countries. The speed limit wire must be disconnected before you can reach the 30 mph top speed. You should, however, make sure you are riding a scooter on private property or following the established speed restrictions in your area.

Its acceleration is nothing short of impressive with a torque of 2+ horsepower. Your scooter will go at top speed in no time, giving you even more thrills.

Powered by a powerful motor, the Uberscoot 1600W can handle slopes up to 30°. Gradability depends, however, on the weight of the scooter as well as the level of charge. Due to its gradability, the scooter should be able to handle steeper inclines on city streets or soft gulleys in off-road terrain.

Controls & Display

A small display and simple controls differentiate the Uberscoot 1600W from most powerful electric scooters. The Weped SST E-scooter has more sophisticated display. Both sides of the handlebars have brake levers. They are highly sensitive and durable and ensure that your scooter can stop safely. In addition to the twist acceleration throttle, the handlebar also features a hand grip that can be rotated to accelerate.

To accelerate, you need to turn only its portion; therefore, make sure that you don’t rotate all of it.

The handlebar also has two buttons besides the throttle and brake levers. The lights should be controlled with one, while Eco Mode should be controlled with the other. In addition to this, you will find a new key and battery indicator system in the cockpit, which will help you prevent surprises regarding battery levels. Your scooter is rain water resistant, so you won’t have to be concerned about riding a scooter under drizzly conditions or when there is snow.

Controls are intuitively positioned and simple to use, making them easy to operate. It does not have an LCD display, however, so you don’t know how fast they are going or how far they have traveled. An LCD would have been necessary at its price point, according to many scooter enthusiasts.

Battery Life & Range

There are four 12v / 12ah sealed lead-acid batteries (SLA) in the Uberscoot 1600W battery system. You get 48 voltages in total. For a scooter in the mid-range category, a maximum range of 12 miles would usually be expected, but this battery system provides a relatively modest range. Hence, long rides are not recommended. Furthermore, the battery life of the device can be extended by several miles if you activating the Economy Mode button.

Using the Powerboard, you can continuously monitor the battery’s charge through the LED cockpit display to prevent unnecessary shutdowns.

For this  scooter to charge fully, it requires between 6-8 hours. An average of 7 hours is a long time, depending on your needs and charging habits. Worse still, the scooter does not allow you to shorten charging times by using a fast charger or another charger. This is sensible since fast chargers destroys lead acid batteries. Here are tips to maximize your e-scooter battery.

Nevertheless, even with a charging time of 6 to 8 hours, the Uberscoot 1600W is better than most scooters in the mid-range category, which average 10 to 12 hours for charging. The battery is designed to last for quite a while as it has a remarkable 250 cycle life.

Handlebars

In addition to BMX-style handlebars, Uberscoot 1600W 48V Electric Scooter also features a cushioned seat. There is a thick rubberized handgrip on the bar that ensures a non-slippery, strong grip, similar to the overall design of the electric scooter.

Despite having two extremely strong brake levers, there is a strange twist accelerator throttle. It works the same as any other twist accelerator. You accelerate by rotating the handle to the right.  The handgrip is usually held in any position, and you turn it to accelerate.

Twist throttles of this type are narrower. This means you need to rotate only that portion of the handlebar by putting your hand closer to the center. When you get used to it, you see it as just another twist throttle.

The handlebars contain button controls. They are all situated so that you do not have to move your hands from the handgrip or the brake levers in order to push them. You can use these buttons to switch the lights on and off and to activate the Eco Mode.

Power and motor

A 1600W 48V brushless AC motor powers the Uberscoot 1600W 48V electric scooter. your scooter’s motor has enough power to propel it to a top speed of 30 mph and allow it to climb moderate hills up to 30 degrees inclines. If you live in a hilly city like California or Lisbon, this scooter lets you conquer any inclines along city streets.

The motor is so powerful that you can choose between two modes: ECO and Turbo. By using the latter, you can reach much higher speeds while using maximum power. Using the former preserves battery life by limiting acceleration and top speed. All chain-driven motors require routine maintenance to remain in top shape.

The Ground Clearance

This an aspect that is left out in many reviews but i thought i would include it to give a wholesome review. E-scooters with a high ground clearance are different from those with a lower one. The ground clearance of a scooter is the distance between the ground and the parts of the scooter excluding the wheels. A scooter that has a high ground clearance will have a better chance of passing over larger obstacles.

Braking

Keeping you safe, you must have an efficient braking system on a powerful scooter. With its 140mm ventilation disc brakes at the front and rear, the Uberscoot 1600W achieves just that. Disc brakes ensure smooth and precise stopping, as they are highly sensitive and strong. Because of this, you won’t feel any stressful jerks when you gently press the sports brake levers. Similarly, the Glion Dolly has equally good braking.

A brake power-interrupt feature is also included on this electric scooter from EVO Powerboards. As soon as you pull the rear brake lever, this safety feature cuts off power to the motor, resulting in increased stopping precision. Moreover, the brake system requires minimal maintenance, and it functions well even in wet weather.

Portability

Weighing 117 lbs. The Uberscoot 1600W weighs 53 kilograms, so it isn’t the most portable scooter available. Even carrying it up a flight of stairs is quite difficult, let alone carrying it around. In spite of this, the scooter is designed to be portable with a folding locking frame and quick-release mechanism. It is really convenient to fold the scooter with one touch. The folded scooter can easily fit into the trunk of a car or a confined storage space. There are other scooters are not portable because of their mass such as the MotoTec mad scooter.

IP rating and Water Resistance

In terms of water resistance, Uberscoot 1600W is rated IP54. This means that all electrical components of this scooter are waterproof. Because of this, you can ride the scooter in wet conditions without fear of damage. Because it is not fully waterproof, you should avoid riding through large puddles and avoid spending too much time in the rain.

Lights

Night riding or riding in low light conditions puts your safety and visibility at risk. A good light system, which includes front and rear lights, makes riding at night easier on the Uberscoot 1600W. Especially impressive is the high-mounted LED headlight, which provides uncompromising visibility. Here are more scooters that have lights.

You remain visible by having a tail light to alert other road users of your presence. Your rear light increases in brightness when you brake.

One of the features that set the Uberscoot 1600W apart from others in this price range are its tyres. Featuring both off-road and on-road tyres with an 11-inch diameter, it is an off-road and on-road scooter. Even in wet conditions, your tyres provide adequate traction. With thick and wide rims made of aluminum alloy, they can carry a lot of weight, provide you with sufficient damping and have good stability.

Deck

In terms of strength, the UberScoot has one of the most substantial decks. Whether you’re sitting down or standing, you’ll have plenty of room for your legs. The deck is big enough to fit both legs without feeling cramped, even with the seat attached. There are few e-scooters that have large deck. Just like the uberscoot, Gotrax glx v2 is one of them.

Power board scooters ghttps://tech1resource.com/gotrax-gxl-v2-e-scooter-review/enerally have a wide deck, but they also contain all of the electrical wiring and batteries that make them functional. Therefore, if you want to ride more recklessly, you need to be careful.

Assembly

There is only partial assembly on your Uberscoot 1600W. You already have tires in place, but you still need to do some work before you can leave.

You will find the following items in the box:

Charger

Headlight

Seat

Handlebar

You will notice that it does not include a tool for tightening the screws (which are instead included). Operationally, the handlebar is the most crucial part, but you only need to attach it to its proper place with a couple of screws and then tighten it with the key. Likewise, installing the headlight and the seat are both fairly straightforward. Depending on how you mount the seat, you can either ride standing or seated on the Uberscoot 1600W. Make sure your tires are inflated after assembling it. Read here how to put air in e-scooter wheel.

If you don’t check it every so often, the batteries drain faster and the tires are more likely to puncture with low pressure.

Performance for Uberscoot 1600w

A 1600 Watt 48 Volt motor powers the Uberscoot 1600W as its name suggests. In some jurisdictions, they even allow them to go faster than 20 mph. This is the maximum speed allowed on city roads and in some even faster. Even if you haven’t tried electric scooters before, 20mph on a solid scooter is quite fast and still a safe speed in the middle of the city traffic.

With the powerful motor, the vehicle can accelerate quickly and achieve good speeds. By doing so, the device has sufficient power to climb a large hill without much slowed down. The off-road and on-road tires allow you to drive on a variety of terrains more comfortably.

It’s easy to switch to the Eco Mode by pressing the button on the handlebar. With it, the electric scooter can be slowed down to save its battery and be used for longer periods of time.

Ride Quality

Uberscoot 1600W has 11-inch pneumatic knobby tyres, which can be used on the road or off it, while its suspension system offers excellent shock absorption. Regardless of the terrain, your tyres provide adequate dampening. The tires guarantee top-notch traction and maximum stability even when wet. In addition to its immense weight, the scooter’s weight also causes it to have a lower centre of gravity. This ensures a stable,  and non-jerky ride.

In order to absorb vibrations and shocks on the riding track, the front and rear suspension systems work in tandem. By flexing directly under the seat, the rear suspension eliminates jarring when you ride standing or seated. The spacious deck and optional seat add to the overall ride quality, in addition to the tyres and suspension. You can sit in any position that is comfortable for you with the optional seat.

Incredibly, you can still stand up on the spacious deck when the seat is mounted. You can either ride in a standing position or with a seat in place.

You can also adjust the ergonomic, BMX-style handlebars to suit your preference, which further enhance ride comfort. Easily accessible controls also facilitate easy user interaction. Furthermore, the lighting profile allows you to ride both day and night. It is wonderful to ride the scooter at high speeds because it is so steady, balanced, and smooth.

Value

There are a lot of features that justify the price of the Uberscoot 1600w, which is not cheap. A top speed of more than 20 mph sets it apart from most of its rivals. With its large tires and shock absorbers, it’s capable of going off-road and can cover a distance of 12 miles. As well as being foldable, this scooter includes a one-touch folding frame, front and rear lights, as well as a key ignition. Easily competing with Xiaomi’s Mi Electric Scooter, this is one of the best scooters available.

Customer Support

It can also handle off-road terrain with impressive gradeability. The scooter comes with an optional seat, provides decent ride quality, and ensures high safety standards.

Additionally, it’s easy to use- both novices and experienced users can use it. As a  reliable street-legal scooter, the Uberscoot 1600W is excellent for short urban rides, but can also go off-road.

 Repair and Maintenance

Our last part of the Uberscoot 1600 w 48 v e-scooter review is about repair and maintenance. To ensure the Uberscoot 1600W is as functional as possible and lasts as long as possible, you have to carry out general maintenance. Chain grease/lube should be rubbed evenly over the chain-driven motor, considering it is chain-driven. It is recommended that you lubricate the chain and clean it after 200 miles.

SLA batteries require very little maintenance compared to their non-SLA counterparts. However, educate yourself regarding maintenance practices by reading the user manual. This will help make your batteries last longer. When charging the battery for prolonged usage, ensure you use the correct charger.

On the scooter, you can also perform the following general routine maintenance practices:

regularly cleaning,

charging to full before storage,

wiping with a towel before storage after riding in wet condition and

storing the scooter at room temperature.

What we didn’t like about Uberscoot 1600w Electric Scooter:

• It weighs a lot

It is extremely heavy to ride this electric scooter. In this case, commuters should only pick the mid-range scooter if they won’t have to lift it down the path to reach their destination.

• Short distances

Some commuters or you may find 12 miles too short.

The tool to assemble all the components does not come with the product

Despite the fact that the screws are included in the package, the electric scooter needs to be secured with a proper tool.

Cost of UberScoot electric scooters

Features such as the motor, lights, battery and other control components makes e-scooters very expensive. Nonetheless, they are worth every penny.
