Elektrosamokat or velogibrid: What to ride in the summer

Why elektrosamokaty and velogibridy?

To begin with we shall understand the definitions. Elektrosamokaty and velogibridy - these are the same scooters and bikes, only with an electric motor. In velogibrida have pedals that can be twisted and elektrosamokat with a dead battery can be carried out as the most common, starting from the foot of the earth.

Powerful velogibridy can be accelerated to 30 km / h or more. In elektrosamokatov limit on average somewhere in the 5-10 km / h less. In addition, the smaller trucks, the more there is speed. Therefore, a quick ride on the scooter - more extreme sport than walking.

Riding off-road

If you plan to test their vehicles outside the asphalt road, this is best done on velogibride. With off-road wheels cope with imposing a thickness and a diameter of not less than 25 inches.

Mobility

Security

If not scorcher and ride on flat roads, safety is of any transport. But we live in a world with borders, hummocks and holes in the asphalt. You'll be less afraid of them on velogibride thick wheels and better handling at speed. On the other hand, the scooter will not allow you to develop a dangerous speed will have to carefully go around all the obstacles. So, perhaps, safer transport will be the one on which you ride better.

autonomy

Batteries elektrosamokatov velogibridov and are similar in size and capacity: you can drive 20 to 40 km on a single charge, depending on the model specifications. But all things being equal velogibridy win due to the fact that the power of the engine is added to the energy that you develop, pedaling.

Velogibrid remain at the entrance, and there will have to be nervous: bike locks will not be saved from villains with bolt cutters. For those who do not want to get nervous, have advanced velogibridy the ignition key and locking steps, but they are not cheap.
