How do you calculate electric scooter power?

Peak power = voltage × controller current × number of motors. Example: 72 V × 40 A × 2 motors = 5,760 W.

I have two controllers — should I add the amps together?

No. If each motor has its own controller, enter the current per motor; the number of motors is already in the multiplier. For two 40 A controllers, enter 40.

It’s the power the motor can deliver continuously without overheating. It’s usually around 50–70% of peak power and appears in catalogues as “motor power” (e.g. 2 × 2,500 W).

Why does my result differ from the manufacturer’s claim?

Manufacturers may use different voltage (nominal or full charge) and current (continuous or turbo) values, and the controller firmware can also limit the current. The calculation shows the theoretical peak.

How do I convert watts to horsepower?

1 horsepower (mechanical) is roughly 745.7 W. So 15,120 W comes to about 20.3 hp.

Rated or peak?

Catalogues give you two numbers. Rated (continuous) power is what the motor can deliver for a long time without overheating; peak power is the highest output the controller can deliver in short bursts. Rated power is usually around 50–70% of peak. On the Teverun Fighter Supreme 7260R, that works out to 2 × 2,500 W = 5,000 W rated and 15,120 W peak.

Why full-charge voltage?

Manufacturers usually calculate peak power at full-charge voltage. The 15,120 W Teverun quotes for the 7260R is exactly 84 V × 90 A × 2 motors; the Supreme Ultra’s 9,240 W is 84 V × 55 A × 2. As the battery drains, the voltage drops — and the power drops with it.

Watts aren’t everything

We covered it in episode 2 of Garaj Sohbetleri: a 9,240 W scooter with sine-wave controllers can beat rivals with more than 10 kW up to 50 km/h. Controller type, torque curve, rider weight and wind matter as much as the watts on paper.

Controller, battery, motor, wiring and frame have to match; modding isn’t guesswork, it’s engineering. We build performance projects for closed-track and private-land use.
