Frequently Asked Questions

E-SCOOTER & OPERATION

How long is the EcoReco electric scooter battery life?


It should be good for many years under normal usage

Is the electric scooter street legal?


Mostly yes, but state laws vary on this issue. Some state laws approve the use of electric scooters in bike lanes of general road traffic and some do not. To the best of our knowledge (we are still building it up so don’t hold it against us), e-scooters are street legal in California, Connecticut, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, Texas, Virginia and Washington, with many other states expected to follow suit. Some cities/counties have their own rules on light electric vehicles so it’s best to consult with your local transportation authority.



How do you charge the scooter? Does it take 220V?


Our scooter can be charged conveniently using regular wall outlets via the included external charger. The charger is CE certified, and it can take 110-240V, just like most popular consumer electronics. We troublework our best to make your life simpler.

What's the story with the tires? I'd imagine they'll last a long time, but might need to be replaced eventually. Is this the case, and how would we go about replacing them?


We designed the solid rubber wheel to be easily replaceable. Just unscrew and swap. We also have a patent on the rear wheel that you can replace the tire without affecting the integrated motor. Please visit Buy for the scooter page for parts and accessories.


Are you guys going to have live demo near me? I think it would be a hit.


How well does the electric scooter work in the rain?


We don't recommend operating the scooter in the rain for safety reasons. Your vision is worse, roads are slippery, and it takes longer to stop. It is generally not a good idea to bike or scooter in the rain. However, if you got caught up in the rain on your way home, the e-scooter is water-resist and will still function well. Just remember to wipe the water away and keep it dry once you are indoors to ensure adequate product life. Moisture doesn't mix well with electronics and batteries.


How well can the electic scooter handle a hill?


For an average weighted person, our scooter can take an uphill of 10-12 degree incline (~15% slope), which should be adequate for most streets/roads. We have some riders scooting around San Francisco and they are performing just fine. For notorious uphills, riders can still kickscoot the scooter and propel themselves up the hill, it's still faster than walking or biking

What is the weight limit for a rider?


We recommend up to 250 pounds for best performance even though the mechanics can support heavier riders. Please note that the scooter’s top speed will decrease for heavier riders on flat ground and performance on steeper slopes will be noticeably affected.

What is the range related to different weight riders?


The stated range of 10 to 20 miles was tested on a 170lb rider on flat ground at a steady speed of 13mph. If a heavier rider constantly reaches top speed, brakes frequently, and takes occasionally slopes, the range would be reduced to a more modest 8-13 miles (depending on the rider weight and road conditions). Unfortunately, we are unable to bypass the fundamental laws of Physics : )

What is the age limit for a rider?


The scooter was designed to be operated and transported by an individual of 16 years or older.

How do I lock my EcoReco scooter?


Unlike a bike that can be easily stolen on the street, you can fold an EcoReco scooter up and bring it with you. If bringing the scooter inside with you is not an option, you can always lock the scooter up with a cable or U-lock. An instructional video can be found here

How do I configure my EcoReco's top speed?


You can configure the top speed to 7, 12 or 20 MPH. The instruction can be found here
