Frequently Asked Questions
I want to transport my vehicle in a car.
The Eco scooters are designed to be dismantled to make it easier to load them into a car. There are various
techniques. It depends on what type of vehicle you own and your physical capability. Make sure your dealer
has demonstrated the easiest way of doing this.
Can I fit weatherproofing such as a canopy ?
No, the Eco scooters are too small to have canopies as they can adversely affect stability and handling.
How long will my batteries last ?
This is a difficult question as it depends on many factors. The life of a battery depends upon the number of cycles
the battery goes through, the peak loads and on the conditions of use. Some general advice about battery care:
• Keep it charged, and do not let the battery run completely flat.
• Ensure your battery is fully charged at the end of the charging cycle
• Batteries may not perform as well in very cold weather.
• Change your battery if you find it is not performing as well as new.
Care can prolong the life of the batteries but remember that, in time, all batteries will fail to perform to specification.
What range can I expect ?
The generally expected range is about 12 km or 8 miles, see Technical Specification sheet. However, range can be
affected by many things such as:
• Temperature. Cold weather can reduce the output of the batteries.
• Type of terrain. Obviously climbing hills takes more energy than driving on the flat.
• Weight of the user.
• The condition and charge of the batteries.
• Faulty or old batteries or a faulty charger
Important Rule: Always use the correct charger with the correct batteries and ensure all batteries are charged before
you start out.
How long should I keep my vehicle before I change it?
It is important that the vehicle you have suits your needs and abilities. Your Eco 3 or 4 model scooter should serve
you well for many years but change it if at any time you feel it no longer meets your needs. Consult your dealer on the
condition of your vehicle and remember vehicles of any type become more expensive to maintain the older they get.
