How does Langfeite manufacturing test electric scooters?

To ensure the highest quality of our products design and manufacturing all our scooters and prototypes get comprehensive testing before they hit the production line and naturally after that they go through QA as well.

Here are the main types of tests that are involved in electric scooter manufacturing that are mechanically tested and not just digitally simulated. These tests are performed at our factories and must be passed before mass production. Let’s take a look at what they are.

Langfeite Electric Scooter Prototype Testing.

The main parts getting tested are the electric motor, springs, brakes, and electronics. Integrity and performance are the focus of the tests. 

Main types of escooter manufacturing tests:

1. Temperature and humidity testing. Parts of the scooter get tested that they operate as expected in extreme riding conditions such as low and high temperature, dry and high humidity. 
2. Pressure test – Stress resistance and pull ability of escooter parts. The motor hubs get tested for high-pressure resistance and the shock absorbers get tested for pull ability: for example, spring suspension handles to pull and maintain to right alignment and well-performing suspension at all times.
3. Dust testing – Tests the dust resistance of the motor. E-Scooters must be able to handle dust in large quantities. Especially Off-roading will lift lots of dust and riding in the city isn’t exactly dust-free either. Our tests ensure that the motors don’t get filled with dust. Thanks to the design and low wear of electric motors they are maintenance-free after well enclosed.
4. Test motor output power. Langfeite motors are meticulously tested that they fill the performance requirements set for them. 
5. Motor balance and alignment test. The base rock of any solid ride is that the motor is running aligned and smooth – otherwise, you would be doomed with a terrible ride.
6. Waterproof IP test with a water pressure machine. It’s done exactly as it sounds, pressured rain shoot at the part from multiple directions. Simulating rain, washing, etc. The main focus is on the motor and electronics such as the instrument panel.
7. Vibration testing machine. The parts get vibrated for extended periods. This shaking is meant to simulate the vibrations the scooter experiences in different road conditions.
8. Impact resistance testing using a hammer weight that hits the scooter to see that the motor and frame hold when experiencing sudden shocks.
9. Comprehensive testing machine for the assembled prototype: Real road driving simulations. Up and downhill, acceleration, wind resistance and coefficiency, and so on.
10. Fatigue testing for prototypes before hitting production. Once a working prototype is ready the whole scooter gets tested with a bumpy ride, rotation, weighted stress machine. The motors rotate more than 300 000 times.

Those are the main tests done for the scooter before and after it gets assembled. Other tests not mentioned here are battery, rubber tire, and some other part tests done by us and suppliers.

After all these tests we can stand proudly behind our products. Thanks to this comprehensive testing our riders get to enjoy the premium ride that Langfeite escooters offer.
