Parameters sorted out:
  • Battery voltage: 60V
  • Single motor rated power: 600W
  • Total rated power of dual motors: 1200W
But actually in fact we think the calculation is not good.

1. Calculate rated operating current

Single motor rated current:

Total rated current of dual motors:

2. Industry peak power ratio for electric scooters

Industry common ratio:

Peak power ≈ Rated power × 2.5~3 times

  • Calculated at 2.5 times:

    Total peak power =

  • Calculated at 3 times (extreme limit):

    Total peak power =

Conclusion

  • Continuous total rated power: 1200W
  • Instant peak power for start-up and climbing: 3000W~3600W

Supplement

This peak value corresponds to the instantaneous current limit of the controller. Under 60V voltage, the vehicle’s instantaneous surge current can reach about 50~60A, providing power for start-up, steep slope climbing and heavy-load acceleration. It only works for a few seconds and cannot run at full throttle for a long time.
