This SAE Recommended Practice (RP) normalizes kinematic performance metrics and testing for powered standing scooters as defined in SAE J3194. Specifically, it describes:
-
Test procedures to measure the top speed, acceleration, and deceleration performance of powered standing scooters;
-
Test scenarios that consider initial vehicle conditions, operator anthropometry, environmental and roadway conditions, and operating domains (e.g., geofence);
-
Relevant units, accuracy, and precision of measurement for each test; and
-
Methods to collect and report such kinematic data.
This RP does not prescribe pass/fail criteria for testing. This RP is applicable to powered standing scooters that are privately owned or available via shared- or rental-fleet operations.
