ANGWATT F1 electric scooter test

A truly close acquaintance is only possible C1 and the Max C1 It is missing some types, and we didn't even take a look at the "old" F1, but now the new version has arrived, which it doesn't seem so new though – I will explain this a little further down. Assembling the test subject is not much fun, because even though it arrived roughly assembled, the government for example, it was upside down, although this is probably just for efficient packaging. You will need to either turn it the right way up or have it put back in place, depending on how it arrives and the condition of the computer you also have to record it, not to mention that Everything is rattling, even the shock absorbers.

You have to tighten every screw on the scooter very carefully and adjust the brakes, otherwise it's dangerous to ride it - classic ANGWATT.

Unfortunately, during assembly, more than one thread gets "sucked up", and don't even dream of using washers, but at least one with multifunctional tool you will be richer. Of course, the scooter charger and instructions for use are also included in the package, which should not be underestimated, because all specifications and rules are detailed in it, but the hidden menu They also dedicated 2 pages to it.

The new F1 chassis iron and aluminum alloy the whole roller is being made weighs 27 kilograms loosely, its load capacity is 120 kilograms. It would be strange if it couldn't be folded unlike its competitors, and besides, folding mechanism is the same as T1 and even models from other manufacturers. The F1 "City Scooter" got a nickname, and it's less snarky, 10 inch tires they are duking it out, front and back cable disc brake helps to stop. Its motor has a power of 1000 watts. and located in the rear wheel, the maximum speed 40-50 km/h The manufacturer ranks it among the best. It can climb slopes of up to 25 degrees and 48-volt, 18,2 Ah battery with a range of 50-70 kilometers expected according to the manufacturer. Let's see what the little one can do!

so it beat the new ANGWATT F1 in many ways.

My theory is still not correct and it's good that I take everything to János for a zero revision. to Roll-Base service, because he explained to me that this is typically the type of electric scooter that the makers would look into the warehouse to What parts do you still have? and they made it a “new model.” For example its engine is a terribly old design, However, the front shock absorber is new, so it's not 100% old, only about... 90%.

The F1 design doesn't look bad, It consists of black and light gray elements, but I didn't feel it was structurally perfect. The steering wheel height is adjustable in 3 stages, with the help of small cams and for me the middle setting was ideal for my height of just under 170 centimeters, but even then it was a bit The entire steering column felt stiff.

It is too thin and unfortunately prone to creaking, especially over bumps and road imperfections.

The whole scooter feels like a regular size scooter that has been squeezed a little tighter, because the step is smaller than usual, but it is quite high, so if you are very tall, this scooter may not be the perfect choice. However, it is definitely a positive that the cams needed for height adjustment are they do not allow the round steering rod to rotate inside the frame.

ANGWATT F1 is a 1000 watt motor which is located in the rear wheel and in reality it looks more like a 1200-1300 watts The test subject is basically not recommended for hilly or mountainous areas, two motors are better for that, plus the F1 is capable of climbing slopes of up to 25 degrees, but surprisingly it also happily took off on the more serious than average Danube-bank slopes, albeit in 3rd gear out of 5.

It rolls on 10-inch wheels, which are very small, but surprisingly they held up well even on rough terrain.

Of course, the F1 gets stuck in gravel and slides in mud, but it handles sand and slightly gravelly, grassy terrain well. It cuts straight through asphalt. The suspension is surprisingly good. thanks to the double shock absorbers, and the rear fender is large enough to easily hold the bike, and by the way, the footrest is on it. On paper, the F1's maximum speed is between 40-50 km/h, which the manufacturer is right about, because

I reached 47 km/h in no time. This is a nice performance, you don't need to go any faster than that, the cable disc brake can still stop you from that speed.

5 speed gears You can choose: you will almost never use 1, and 2 not often, but you can use 3 and 4, and 5 is only good for when you get crazy or are really in a hurry to get somewhere.

For convenience, the F1 will start with an NFC card instead of a key,

a cruise control It turns on quickly, so beginners should not forget about it or simply turn it off in the hidden menu, as the application does not belong to the vehicle. The test subject display already familiar with CS1 and X1 about models, The bright sun is still its enemy. The speedometer It is clocked up to 150, What's funny is that everything is over. important travel information shows:

• current speed in kilometers or miles (minimal cheating)
• selected speed level
• casual/total distance traveled
• battery charge level
• indexes/error feedback

but the manual is pretty thorough in detailing every inch of it. On the right side of the handlebars are the throttle and front brake, and on the left side are the rear brake and a familiar 29A controller, which contains the buttons for turning on the engine, changing gears, and turning on the horn and lights.

There is also a button labeled D/S here, which you can press in vain, the F1 only has one engine, so it won't start in dual mode.

The ANGWATT F1's lighting system is really interesting. At the front, on the handlebar stem, there is a classic white LED, and on the back of the treadle is a red one brake light located on both sides of the stage, but there are traffic lights. One always artistically lights up the scooter stand. At the front of the stand (where no one can see it) there are red LEDs, which they flash when changing direction, all of this annoying and loud beeping accompanies.

There are twice as many light sources on the back of the step (no one can see these either) and the two upper ones also flash when you index. One thing is for sure: no one will notice this from a car.

The F1's battery has a 48-volt, 18,2 Ah capacity, It takes 8-9 hours to charge. The manufacturer promises a range of 50-70 kilometers, which is a bit of an exaggeration for average, Hungarian, everyday use. If you mostly at a medium pace you use it, 3rd gear, very rarely 2nd and 4th gear and the goal is not hard off-road, then the expected distance is 50-55 kilometers will be from a single charge, but it depends a lot on the usage. The 70 kilometers could perhaps be endured if you weigh a maximum of 60 kilograms, gradually walking on a flat road in 1st gear, so not in real life conditions.

The null revision of the ANGWATT T1 electric scooter is carried out by our collaborating partner, a Roll-Base performed by electric scooter and bicycle service. If you need appropriate expertise, if you want to have it repaired or rebuilt, feel free to contact János Varga, at Roll-Base to the owner.
