What is a Watt and how does it compare to MPH (miles per hour)
Let’s get this out of the way first. What is a watt? How many watts do I need to go 25mph? How fast is 250watts in MPH? These are common questions from people looking for electric scooters.
Watts is a unit of power similar to Horsepower. 745.7 Watts are equal to 1 hp. Your 300hp internal combustion car engine is also a 223,710 watt engine.
There is no direct conversion from Watts to MPH just like there is no direct conversion from HP to the max speed of a car. An ocean going cargo ship has thousands of horsepower in engines but has a top speed under 50mph. A high performance motorcycle might have 200 horsepower but a top speed of 200mph.
It generally takes more power to go faster. You need power to overcome drag and friction. In general a higher powered electric scooter will go faster.
