Electric scooter brake control
MQS-6 Series Micro Switches can be used in the braking system of electric scooters. When the rider presses the brake handle or steps on the scooter’s brake pedal, the microswitch can trigger the braking system to slow down or stop the vehicle.
-
Electric scooter acceleration control
MQS-6 Series Micro Switches can also be used in the acceleration system of electric scooters. When the rider pulls the accelerator or accelerator lever, the micro switch can trigger the electric motor to accelerate the vehicle.
-
Electric scooter lighting control
MQS-6 Series Micro Switches can be used to control headlights, rear lights, and turn signals. By pressing the switch, the rider can turn the vehicle’s lighting system on or off, improving safety while driving at night.
-
Electric scooter battery status detection
Micro switches monitor the status of the battery, such as charge level or state of charge. This helps the rider understand the battery condition of the e-scooter and avoid mid-stop due to low battery power.
-
Electric scooter power control
MQS-6 Series Micro Switches can be used to control the power of an electric scooter, such as turning the entire vehicle on or off. This helps prevent unauthorized use or avoid battery drain. Micro switches can be used to implement emergency shutdown functions in response to dangerous situations. In an emergency, the rider can trigger the micro switch to immediately stop the vehicle.
-
Control mode switching
Micro switches can be used to switch between different driving modes, such as energy-saving mode, high-performance mode, or cruise mode, to meet different riding needs. Micro switches can be used in anti-theft systems, allowing riders to lock the vehicle to prevent theft or unauthorized use.
Benefits of using micro switches in electric scooters
There are several benefits of using micro switches in electric scooters that help improve the performance, safety, convenience, and controllability of the vehicle. Micro switches are used in the braking system, allowing riders to easily control the deceleration and parking of the vehicle, improving safety and driving controllability.
Micro switches provide convenient manual control, allowing the rider to easily operate all aspects of the vehicle. Micro switches provide a variety of control and monitoring functions in electric scooters, increasing the safety, convenience, and controllability of the vehicle, enhancing the riding experience, and helping to improve the performance of the electric scooter.
Electric scooter features
An electric scooter (also known as an electric scooter or e-skateboard) is a portable electric vehicle that offers several features that make it a popular way to get around the city.
The functions of electric scooters make it a convenient, environmentally friendly, and economical way to travel in the city and can meet the travel needs of different groups of people. These features help reduce traffic congestion, reduce environmental pollution, and provide convenient transportation solutions.
-
Portability of electric drive
Electric scooters are equipped with batteries and electric motors that can be propelled by electricity without pedaling, reducing the physical burden on the rider and providing faster travel speeds. Electric scooters are usually very lightweight and easy to carry and store. They are collapsible and can be easily folded and carried on public transport, in the office, or at home.
-
Environmental protection and low-cost
Electric scooters use electricity rather than internal combustion engines and therefore emit no harmful gases, helping to reduce air pollution and urban traffic congestion. Electric scooters have relatively low running costs because electricity is relatively cheap and maintenance costs are generally low.
-
Hooks and baskets
Some electric scooters have hooks, cargo baskets, or other features to allow the rider to carry items, packages, or shopping.
Application scenarios of electric scooters
Electric scooters are becoming more and more popular in various application scenarios, and they provide a convenient, environmentally friendly, and economical way to travel in the city. Electric scooters are a convenient urban travel tool that allows riders to easily travel across the city, avoid traffic jams, and reach their destinations.
Many people choose to use electric scooters for commuting, especially in cities, because they provide a quick and low-cost way to get to work. Students and faculty use electric scooters to move quickly around campus, saving time and avoiding long walks. In tourist destinations, electric scooters can provide a fun, fast way to explore a city or attraction.
Some people use electric scooters as part of their exercise routine, and cycling can provide a level of exercise while also being a convenient way to get around. Electric scooters use electricity, which reduces exhaust emissions, helps reduce environmental pollution, and promotes sustainable travel.
The flexibility and portability of electric scooters make them ideal means of transportation in various travel scenarios. They help people solve a series of problems in urban travel, including traffic jams, finding parking spaces, short-distance travel, and environmental protection.
How micro switches for electric scooters work
The micro switch on an electric scooter is an electronic switch whose working principle is based on mechanical triggering and circuit connection. A microswitch consists of a mechanical arm, usually a spring-loaded arm, with a fixed end and a movable end. When an external force is applied to the active end, the robotic arm is stressed and displaced.
When the mechanical arm is displaced, it will cause the contacts inside the microswitch to open or close. This is because the movement of the robotic arm changes the internal structure of the switch, causing the state of the contact to change. The interior of a microswitch contains electrical connections. When the robot arm is in its original position, the contacts are usually in one state and maintain the corresponding state of the circuit. As the robotic arm moves, the contact’s state changes, opening or closing the circuit.
The micro switch on an electric scooter is a mechanical-electronic device that changes the state of the internal circuit through mechanically triggered changes to trigger different electric scooter operations. Micro switches are usually used for braking, acceleration, lighting, power control, etc., improving the controllability and safety of electric scooters. The reliability and accuracy of these switches are critical to the proper operation and safety of the e-scooter.
