But the government of India is allotting subsidies and tax benefits for electric scooters under the FAME-II scheme. So that its high price does not change the mind of buyers, for checking the subsidies on your vehicle, you should check the ex-showroom price and check whether the central government has allotted any FAME-II subsidy.

Also, check whether the state government is giving any subsidy in your state, and you should check the road tax exemption. After all, you should check the on-road price in which you should check for what things are being charged for the final price.

This battery provides a good range along with an excellent top speed. It can easily provide a range of 75km with a top speed of 90kmph above that would satisfy your daily needs.

Check Motor Power & Torque

The motor watts indicate how much power the motor is capable of consuming. The motor also plays a major role in your electric scooter. It decides top speed, acceleration, climbing ability, power consumption, and performance. All electric scooters have one motor, while high-performance scooters have two.

Thinking that you need a public or home charging station is enough for you.

Check Dust & Water Resistance

Lastly, check the IP rating of the Yobikes electric scooter to know its water resistance. All-electric scooters are not water and dust resistant, and it is not advisable to ride them in the rain. The IP rating is called the "International Protection" (IP) code. The IP rating should be IP65 or IP67, and this type of IP rating is ideal.

How does Yobikes Yo Edge DX Scooter work?

1. The power source of an electric scooter is the battery. The motor gives the drive. 

2. The controller of an electric vehicle receives an electric pulse from the throttle (Switch/Sensor) and allows the electric current to flow from battery to motor. The motor hub rotates at speed based on the motor's current input.

3. The electronic controller draws power from the onboard battery to operate the hub-mounted motor during acceleration.

4. During deceleration or braking, the motor converts the braking energy into electrical energy, thus charging the battery.
