Quality and contents of the package
The box the scooter arrived in is very large and heavy. Transportation by classic lift for three people was possible, but you probably won't be able to do it yourself. Call someone strong for help. With the assistance of a second person, the transfer is possible. The package dimensions are 135 x 63 x 25 cm and its weight is according to the manufacturer 34 kg. However, according to the label, the box that arrived has up to 36 kg. Inside the box you will find a folded scooter. It is characterized by a folding mechanism, the fuse of which is located in the front, above the fender. It is marked with a yellow warning. There is also a hook for hanging the front control bar for easier portability.
You will have to mount the handlebars additionally, the manufacturer removed them before packaging in order to save space and to prevent them from being damaged during transport. However, their assembly is simple. All you have to do is insert the bar with handlebars onto the main vertical bar and then just tighten the necessary screws. The front light was also removed. The necessary tools for assembly are included in the package.
The scooter is housed in polystyrene reinforcements. Despite their presence, however, we noticed small scratches on the construction that could have occurred during transportation or during production/assembly. Of course, they do not affect the functionality.
Assembling the scooter definitely took us some time. We spent a very long time researching how to screw in the front light, because the corresponding thread on the front fender was not fully drilled and we had to quickly fix it with our own drill. All components found on the handlebars have been relaxed, but deliberately so that you can adjust their tilt to your liking. The scooter weighs 30 kg and is characterized by load capacity up to 200 kg.
Construction, quality of workmanship, design and lighting
At first glance, it is ANGWATT CS1 a very well-made, powerful scooter. It is made of aluminum alloy and there are several plastic elements to reduce weight and production costs. The scooter can carry a total of up to 200 kg. The lower price of the scooter is manifested by a slight creak of the structure and shock absorbers when getting on the scooter or while driving on bumpy terrain. It's a quiet, crackling sound that you'll have to get used to. However, it does not significantly affect the driving experience. The scooter is otherwise solid, durable and robust.
It looks very nice, especially when the lights are turned on. The sides, back and front are illuminated. The rear light also serves as a turn signal/brake light. The front light is quite strong, but not very effective, and if you want to ride the scooter at night in total darkness, we would probably buy a better light and attach it to the handlebars. We also have reservations about the direction lights themselves - we doubt that car drivers will even notice them on the underside at the back of the scooter. They are very small and somewhat inconspicuous. They are activated by a sliding button on the left side of the handlebars.
The buttons on the already mentioned control element are used to change "gears", of which there are five and indicate performance levels. It also has a button to activate the lights, a button for the horn which is quite loud and a “Drive Transfer Switch” button which is used to activate the dual engine mode. Since ANGWATT CS1 it only has one motor, this control does nothing and its presence is unnecessary. We must not forget the power button either. To activate the scooter, it must be pressed and attached NFC card to the display. You get two of them in the package.
Sometimes the registration takes place immediately, other times it is necessary to move the chip on the screen for several seconds in order to "start" the scooter. When the scooter is active, pressing the power button again does not turn it off, the display shows the total number of kilometers traveled instead of the number of kilometers traveled since the last start. You have to turn it off by touching the card to the LCD panel again. If you leave the scooter running for a long time without any activity, it will turn itself off.
Performance and driving characteristics
1000 W the engine is more than enough for many. It is a front-wheel drive which, according to the manufacturer, allows a maximum speed of up to 55 km/h. We tested the scooter in and around Poprad, so there was no shortage of hilly terrain. Straight model ANGWATT CS1 reached the notified 47 - 55 km / h. top speed, 55 km/h, managed to achieve when driving downhill, otherwise expect those 45 - 50 km / h, depending on the battery charge level. Acceleration is quite brisk at the highest performance level.
The tubeless tires are 11 inches and have a thick pattern that makes them ideal for off-road use. The scooter does not pose a problem for a slight incline, but it can handle steep hills only with assistance, bouncing off with its legs. It cannot handle a very steep hill at all and you will have to push the vehicle to the top. Gravel terrain can also be difficult for a scooter in certain cases. If it's a straight line, it's fine, the suspension is very good and the shocks are sufficiently reduced, but even a slight climb on larger pebbles can cause performance problems 1000 W problem and the ride will be markedly slower. After finer gravel ANGWATT CS1 it goes quite nice and smoothly.
The scooter is easy to control, the direction can be smoothly changed with the handlebars, and the standing space is long and wide enough. There is a rear footrest. The brakes are a little weaker and ANGWATT CS1 it has quite a long braking distance, especially if you want to brake from high speed.
Driving this scooter requires good foresight and you have to react to obstacles in time to brake. Of course, there is a front and rear brake. During braking, the rear light comes on, which at the same time fulfills the function of classic lighting at night and also as a direction light. Five performance modes change the rate of acceleration as well as the maximum speed. It is true that each performance level increases the maximum speed by approximately 10 km/h.
Range and charging
ANGWATT CS1 it does not show the battery percentage level, but only five sticks. We therefore had to estimate, based on several trips and the experience gained from testing this model, how many percent we spent on the given route. We tested the range of the scooter on several paths. Our most common test route was the Poprad – Svit cycle path.
This overall 17 km, a relatively flat route (both there and back), represents approx 40 m elevation on the way to Svit and subsequently 40 m descent on the way back. We deliberately didn't go fast all the time to simulate easy, city driving, with average speed 25 km/h and occasional stops. At the end of the trip, the fully charged battery did not run out of a single mallet. We used an estimated 15% of the battery.
The Poprad – Kvetnica circuit, which had a length 11,86 km a 100-meter climb, we passed at an average speed 21,3 km/h, while on the way down we managed to reach the maximum speed of the level 53 km/h. A small part of the road was gravel, the terrain had several steep inclines. We again used approximately 15% of the battery charge.
At the start of the ride along the concrete path to Lopušná dolina, we had a fully charged battery. Mon 10 km on a route with a smaller, negligible elevation, one mallet was lost. The whole route had 228 m elevation and we had to push the scooter up two steep hills because it couldn't climb them. After going through the whole 25 km route, the second stick disappeared from the battery charge indicator. Despite the fact that theoretically 3/5 of the energy was still available, we would not be able to cover this route on a single charge the second time.
When the battery charge level is below 50%, the indicator is no longer reliable, and in the case of roads with elevations, expect a sharp drop in power. The next day we wanted to cross this section again. After the first ones 10 km one club waned, and as the first steep hill followed, another waned. As soon as we stopped, the icon again showed 2/5 of the available capacity. We decided not to complete the ride to Lopušná dolina again, because we were worried that the scooter would turn off in the middle of the route. The concerns were justified.
During further uphill driving and approx 5 km after the straight, instead of the current speed, the display already showed the message "E5" and the battery indicator started flashing. It was immediately clear to us that the end of the ride was coming. Mon 1,5 km driving from the first signs of discharge, the scooter switched to turtle mode - the speed was limited to 5 - 10 km / h. This is a small assistance that will help you push the scooter and we could also go down the hill and then home to the housing estate, where we charged the scooter. Somewhere halfway along the cycle path, the scooter stopped completely and we pushed it home.
Challenging routes you will be on ANGWATT CS1 use at full power, you can expect a range from 35 to 40 km. On a straight line at lower speeds, for example in city driving, it is realistic in our experience 50 km. We also take into account the fact that below half the capacity, the scooter tends to discharge a little faster. Fortunately, this sudden charge is less noticeable on the straights.
During our testing, it was always sunny and windless, or it was less windy, and the temperature varied between 24 and 28 degrees Celsius during the given period. The scooter is powered 48 V lithium battery with capacity 21,3 Ah. Charging from zero to full takes time 10 hours, which is 2 hours more than the manufacturer's advised 8. The charger has an output 54,6 V / 2,5 A, which after a simple calculation gives us the output power 136,5 W. The manufacturer states that the maximum output is 140 W. The charging connector is protected by a rubber cap. It often opens on its own.
Display
The LCD display is not glass, but plastic. Right out of the box, there were scratches on it, which impairs its visibility, which is bad in itself due to the low brightness. The screen is almost unreadable in direct sunlight, but we don't take it too tragically in this price category. While driving, you probably won't be looking at the display much anyway, and if you're interested in anything, it's probably only the speed at which you're going. It is displayed in the largest segments and you will probably see it while driving.
In order to read other data that the display shows, you will probably have to stop and cover the LCD with your hand. Here you will see the battery charge indicator (battery icon with five sticks, battery voltage, selected gear (performance level 1-5) and other indicators, such as icons of lights on, turn signals, or error messages, the description of which can be found in the user manual (which, by the way, is all in English).
In conclusion, we will mention that the mileage indicator has a deviation of approximately 10-1 km for every 1,5 km, which is quite enough. During the tests, we were guided by the data measured by the Apple Watch Ultra smart watch (cycling mode).
ANGWATT CS1: Final evaluation
ANGWATT CS1 is a scooter especially for those who live in an area with flat surroundings. The scooter can handle elevations in the city, but it is not designed for longer and more demanding routes full of hills. The ride is very comfortable and thanks to the excellent suspension, large tires and overall robust construction, thanks to which you will also have a lot of space to stand while driving. The range is quite decent, even if it is lower than the manufacturer announced. Well, that was to be expected.
The brakes are a little weaker, the display is almost unreadable outdoors, and the scratches that quickly appear on it don't help. The structure creaks a bit when getting in or driving over bumpy terrain. The performance is very decent on the straight and the acceleration is brisk considering the price. If you are looking for a scooter for the city, for cycling or even for riding on gravel and you don't want to spend a lot of money for it, buying a model ANGWATT CS1 it will definitely not be a bad decision. Its disadvantages are compensated by the price, which is why it has our recommendation.
