Ecooter E3

The Ecooter E3 features a classy-looking exterior design, which feels very premium on the road. It has a strong flare for a scooter its size courtesy of its LED head lamp with a three-light configuration as well as a sleek daytime running light strip. At the back, it also has a modern LED tail lamp. The paint on its fairings looks really elegant and just compliments the aura of the electric scooter. Its leather seat adds a hint of sophistication to its overall build. This seat is well-padded, providing top-notch comfort and support for the rider and pillion even on longer trips. It has a built-in grab bar to enhance passenger comfort and convenience.

Moreover, this scooter’s architecture is also functional and practical for everyday use. It has an underseat storage that provides decent space for your personal belongings and a USB port for your charging needs. It also comes with small compartments on both sides. Meanwhile, the riders are given a fully-digital instrument panel that displays the time, odometer, battery percentage, as well as light and parking indicators. Like the E5, its panel can also be controlled via smartphone connectivity.

In terms of dimensions, the Ecooter E3 measures 1,950 mm in length, 710 mm in width, 1,100 mm in height (770 mm in seat height), and a decent ground clearance of 170 mm, which allows this scooter to pass through light to moderate bumps and other road imperfections. It runs on a 14-inch radial wheel at the front, while the 13-inch counterpart at the rear.

In terms of suspension, the Ecooter E3 utilizes hydraulics for both front and rear. This suspension setup allows this scooter to deliver a surprisingly impressive handling when hitting turns or corners at high speeds. As mentioned earlier, it also has decent absorption of light to moderate bumps and uneven urban pavements. And, on top of this, it is very easy to maneuver even in tight spaces and narrow passageways. Overall, you and your pillion can definitely enjoy a comfortable and adaptable riding experience with the E3.

The Ecooter E3 runs on an electric engine that produces a maximum power output of  4 hp and a maximum torque of 105 Nm. Its electric motor is powered by two 64V, 20 Ah lithium-ion batteries that deliver a range of up to 80 kms and has a fast charging time of up to 100% in just 2.5 hours. This electric scooter runs on a single-speed automatic transmission gearbox.

In the city, this scooter has just enough torque to deliver a smooth and fast cruising experience. However, do not attempt to overtake slower vehicles and bikes with this one since its electric motor has very limited power. It is a practical daily city commuter, delivering good efficiency even in Metro Manila’s stop-and-go traffic and varied road conditions. But, given its low driving range, taking on long routes with this scooter would definitely not be advisable, especially in areas where there are few to none battery stations. Ultimately, this electric scooter is more suitable for city riding than long-distance touring.

In terms of safety, the Ecooter E3 is equipped with side reflectors, a pass switch, and cruise control. Sadly, it doesn’t have ABS for its price. But, despite this, its front and rear discs still deliver very responsive braking, ensuring the rider and pillion’s safety at all times.

The Ecooter E3 is a great choice for discerning buyers who are in the market to buy an electric scooter, which would make them stand out on the road. It looks and feels very premium on the road and still performs surprisingly well for its build.
