Unveiling the Motor Type in Electric Bird Scooters

Electric Bird scooters have taken the world by storm, offering a fun and eco-friendly alternative to car rides and walking. These scooters are designed to be efficient, safe, and accessible for all. One of the critical components responsible for their smooth operation is their motor. So, what type of motors do electric Bird scooters use?


Bird scooters use a 'brushless DC motor,' or BLDC motor, which runs on direct current (DC) electricity. These motors are known for their high efficiency, compactness, and low maintenance requirements compared to their traditional counterparts. Brushless motors also have a longer lifespan due to the lack of brushes wearing down—making them an ideal choice for shared e-scooters that experience heavy use.


The powerful, yet quiet motor is typically integrated into the scooter's rear wheel, ensuring a streamlined, elegant design. BLDC motors are capable of providing torque from 250W up to 1000W, depending on the scooter model. This range allows electric Bird scooters to travel at speeds up to 18 miles per hour (depending on the specific version), making them perfect for zipping around cities with ease.


In summary, electric Bird scooters use brushless DC motors for their excellent efficiency, low maintenance, and long service life. These motors greatly contribute to the scooter's popularity, offering riders a reliable mode of transportation for their urban adventures.
