Summer of scooters is here and perhaps nowhere else is the market going to get so hot as it’s about to get in the UK.
In a previous blog, we shared the news how in Queens’s speech this spring 2022 it was announced that the private scooters are going to be made legal in the UK. For the exact requirements that new laws are going to set we are still unsure but most likely the speed limit is going to be 15.5 mph which is the same as for the shared scooters.
For other safety features like lights and breaks, Langfeite is ready to make UK customized designs if required. Most likely our scooters already fit the requirements but in any case, our team of experienced designers is ready for the task if the need comes.
Now you might think about what scooters Langfeite would offer for the UK market as the top speeds are already higher than allowed in our C1, C2, and C3 scooters. Well, you might be surprised that things like speed limits are easy to implement using software/digital limiters which is already a common way to limit the speed of mopeds and some other vehicles.
Now, if the way to set limits is going to be similar to it is for electric bicycles the common public bike limit in Europe has been 250W for road use. In this case, the scooters can naturally be fitted with smaller motors but in any case, this is a hardware change.
Different hardware is still rather simple to implement as electric scooter motors are normally part of the wheels. So in practice replace the wheels/motor in one go and reconfigure the controller to match the new motor, choose the matching battery.
For the expected new use cases in the UK, we highly recommend the Langfeite C2 which is built for road use. Road tires, slim lines, compact and easy to configure to match requirements make it an ideal choice for dealers who want to offer a highly competitive product for their customers.
