In extreme Indian summer heat, how does the Amo Mobility Feisty EV fare?

Question

While Indian summers are turning uninhabitably hot, with temperature regularly exceeding to 40°C (104°F) in many parts of the country. This brings to the mind of the electric scooter owners the battery performance, range and overall vehicle reliability in such extreme conditions. As a relatively new player in the market, the Amo Mobility Feisty EV is questioned whether it can stand up and perform in these harsh temperatures. How does the battery fare when constantly exposed to high heat? Are there any discernable range or power output decreases? Do specific features or design elements help (or hinder) its performance in hot weather? So let’s talk about some of the real world experience riding the Feisty EV during peak summer months, any precautions to be taken, and how it compares to other electric or petrol scooters in these conditions. Potential buyers in hot climate areas thinking about the Feisty EV as their daily ride might really benefit from your insights.

I’ve ridden my Feisty EV through two brutal Delhi summers now and it’s held up better than I expected. On really hot days range drops a bit, about 10-15%, but nothing dramatic. I try to park in the shade when possible, and the battery seems to take the heat well.

Being from Rajasthan, I can tell you the Feisty EV struggles in such extreme heat. At 45°C, the range can drop by as much as 30%. I've also seen the motor seem to lose some power during the hottest parts of the day.

Charu · Answer

The Feisty EV does okay in the heat, I think, but it’s not without issues. Left in direct sunlight, the seat can get scorching hot, and I've had the battery overheat warning come on a couple of times on long rides in peak summer. Overall though it’s still more reliable than my old petrol scooter that would vapor lock in extreme heat.

The Feisty EV is a surprising performer in Chennai's heat and humidity, in my experience. It also seems to be protected from moisture by the sealed battery compartment. I have not had any major performance issues, but I find myself having to charge it more often in the summer months.

Lokesh · Answer

In Ahmedabad’s scorching summers, I’ve been using the Feisty EV, and it’s a mixed bag. The range definitely takes a hit, but the scooter itself runs fine. I've also noticed that charging time increases a little bit in very hot weather. The plus side is no overheating or shutdowns so far.

Varun · Answer

As an EV enthusiast, I think the Feisty EV’s performance in extreme heat is pretty average. This isn’t like some premium e scooters which come equipped with an advanced thermal management system, so you can see some impact on range and power. However, for its price point, it's okay. Don't expect miracles in 45°C weather.

Gazal · Answer

Last year I switched from a petrol scooter to the Feisty EV and I actually prefer it in hot weather. Fuel evaporation and engine overheating worries are over. The great instant torque is good for quick getaways from traffic lights on sweltering days. Just keep the battery charged as it does drain faster in heat.

Saket · Answer

I live in Nagpur, which is infamous for very hot and very cold temperatures and the Feisty EV is decent, but not great in summer. The main issue I’ve had is reduced battery life over time – after a year I’m seeing about 20% less range than when it was new, and it really is noticeable in the heat.

Manish · Answer

I don't think the Feisty EV's heat performance is being judged harsh enough. Yes, there is some range reduction, but that is true of all EVs. It's good, because it starts reliably every time – unlike my neighbour's petrol scooter, which sometimes has problems starting in the heat. And riding gives you a bit of a breeze to help you cool off!

Sakshi · Answer

I’ve ridden a few e scooters and I’d put the Feisty EV in the middle of the pack in terms of heat performance. A bummer is that it doesn’t have active cooling for the battery. The motor appears to be robust enough to tolerate high temperatures. My tip: Therefore, try to charge it during cooler hours to get maximum battery life and performance.
