Electric scooters operate using a rechargeable battery that powers a motor, typically located in the wheels. When the rider activates the throttle on the handlebars, the controller regulates the flow of electricity from the battery to the motor, enabling the scooter to move forward. The brakes, which can be mechanical or electronic, allow the rider to slow down or stop the scooter [1][2][4][5]. Charging the battery is done by connecting it to a power outlet, similar to charging a phone [5].
