What shock-absorbing structure is the best for electric scooters? Construct scoring

The four most common shock-absorbing structures of electric scooters. Next, we will rate them and analyze their respective advantages and disadvantages to help everyone understand the performance of each structure more intuitively.

Front shock absorber series（1- 4）

 

1. Traditional spring shock absorber

Advantages: simple and light structure, low manufacturing and maintenance costs.
Disadvantages: easy to deform, poor shock absorption effect.
Rating: 35

Traditional front fork spring shock absorber is usually used for low-priced, lightweight, small-wheel diameter electric scooters, suitable for daily travel, and is recommended only for scooters with a maximum speed of no more than 25km/h.

2. Traditional hydraulic shock absorber

Advantages: strong stability, excellent control effect, good shock absorption effect.
Disadvantages: None.
Rating: 90

Traditional hydraulic shock absorber is the most practical and direct shock absorption method, widely used in a variety of riding tools such as high-end electric scooters, electric bicycles and electric motorcycles. This shock-absorbing structure is suitable for off-road, stunt and highway conditions, and has excellent comprehensive performance. It is recommended to use it when the maximum speed does not exceed 120km/h to ensure stability.

3. C-type shock absorption

Advantages: high-precision manufacturing, solid structure, excellent shock absorption effect, strong controllability.
Disadvantages: general stability, high technical requirements for drivers.
Rating: 85

C-type shock absorption is a shock absorption structure designed for electric scooters. It originated from DT electric scooters and was later borrowed and upgraded by major brands. This type of shock absorption structure has high elasticity, large active travel, excellent off-road performance and comfort, but it has high requirements for driver skills. It is usually suitable for scenes with a maximum speed of no more than 50km/h~80km/h, otherwise it may cause the "death pendulum" phenomenon. If you need to exceed the speed limit, it is recommended to install a steering stabilizer to improve stability.

4. Vertical multi-link shock absorption

Advantages: high-precision manufacturing, solid structure, excellent control effect, strong stability.
Disadvantages: general filtering effect on bumpy roads.
Rating: 88

Vertical multi-link shock absorber is designed for high-performance electric scooters, with excellent handling and stability. The shock absorber structure adopts high-precision CNC processing and combines multiple parts to ensure that the shock absorber system is always centered. It is recommended to use it in scenarios where the maximum speed does not exceed 120km/h to give full play to its best performance.

Rear shock absorber series（1- 4）

 

1. Centered rear suspension shock absorber

Advantages: high stability, excellent handling effect, good shock absorption effect.
Disadvantages:None.
Rating: 89
The center rear suspension shock absorber has extremely strong comprehensive performance. It is located in the middle of the electric scooter and effectively improves the stability of the vehicle. This structure was first designed by the Yisuntrek factory on the L5 electric scooter, which is currently out of sale. The design was subsequently optimized and improved by the DT factory. It is recommended to use it in scenarios where the maximum speed does not exceed 120km/h to ensure safety and stability.

2. 90° centered vertical rear shock absorber

Advantages: high stability, excellent shock absorption effect, large range of motion, strong maneuverability.
Disadvantages: None.
Rating: 87
Centered vertical rear shock absorbers are widely used in high-performance electric scooters, motorcycles and various riding tools, suitable for various road conditions such as off-road, highway and bumpy sections. This type of shock absorber structure has high elasticity and large range of motion, and excellent off-road performance and comfort. It is recommended to use it in scenarios with a maximum speed of no more than 120km/h to ensure optimal performance and safety.

3. 90° vertical rear double shock absorber

Advantages: extremely high stability, excellent shock absorption effect, large range of motion, and sturdy structure.
Disadvantages: None.
Rating: 90
This is one of the most common shock absorber structures for electric scooters, and is widely used by major electric scooter manufacturers due to its excellent stability and shock absorption effect. However, some manufacturers may cause the structure to be easily deformed due to thin materials, so careful comparison is required to make a wise choice. It is recommended to use it in scenarios where the maximum speed does not exceed 120km/h to ensure optimal performance and safety.

4. Rocker arm and shock absorber parallel rear shock absorber

Advantages: large range of motion, excellent shock absorption effect, strong controllability and high stability.
Disadvantages: None.
Rating: 92
This structure is one of the most complex shock absorption systems in electric scooters. The shock absorption and brake positions are closely integrated, and the overall design is extremely compact, which improves the overall completion of the electric scooter and the shock absorption effect is also excellent. It is recommended to use it in scenarios where the maximum speed does not exceed 120km/h to ensure optimal performance and safety.
