How this calculator works

How to use the E-Scooter Hill Climb Grade Calculator

The Formula

P = m·g·sin(θ)·v at steady crawl. Burst peaks exceed continuous rating.

Practical Example

P_eff = P_nom × (SOC/100) × voltage efficiency. At 20 % SOC many 36 V scooters cannot sustain crawl speed on moderate grades.

About E-Scooter Hill Climb Grade Calculator

Grade physics

P = m·g·sin(θ)·v at steady crawl. Burst peaks exceed continuous rating.

SOC & torque

P_eff = P_nom × (SOC/100) × voltage efficiency. At 20 % SOC many 36 V scooters cannot sustain crawl speed on moderate grades.

Note

Planning estimates for e-scooters—verify against manufacturer specs. Small wheels and light packs behave differently from e-bikes.
