Electric two-wheelers are powered by lead-acid battery or lithium ion batteries. It includes both electric motorcycles and electric scooters. Speed of electric scooter is relatively less than electric motorcycle. The electric motorcycles are categorized into 48V, 24V, 36v and are also available in more voltages like 60V and 72V. The speed of electric motorcycle and scooters are range from 30 km/hr to 70 km/hr. Electric motorcycles are rechargeable by plugging into ordinary wall outlets, usually it takes around eight hours to charge.
Electric motorcycles are built with strong metallic and fiber frames coupled with various mechanical and electronic components and engine. Similarly, electric scooters are also two-wheeler vehicles build with metallic or fiber bodies, along with footboard on which riders rest their feet. Piaggio Vespa, TVS Jupiter and Aprilla SRV 850 are some common examples of scooters.
Increasing carbon emission by burning fuel on roads is a great environment and government concern resulting in increasing demand for electric vehicles (EV) and their adoption across the globe.
