An eco-friendly scooter for everyone!

China-based Da Yang Motors brings the Ecooter to the Philippines. An all-electric scooter, the Ecooter is powered by a 2500W electric motor, making it capable of up to 80Km on a single charge. It’s no slouch either when it comes to speed, as the Ecooter has a top speed of 75Km/h.

Powering the Ecooter is a Lithium-Ion battery that can be fully charged in 6 hours using the supplied charger. Sobeler Corp. Managing partner Virgie Lim, the distributors of Ecooter in the Philippines, said they are talking to dealers and convenience stores like 7-11 and Family Mart for a battery-swapping program. The program involves users visiting participating dealers to swap their empty batteries for fully charged ones for a minimal fee. As of press time, the battery-swap program is limited to Metro Manila.

Those asking if the Ecooter need to be registered, Lim said that LTO does not require the Ecooter to be registered yet, as the Ecooter is classified as bicycles and not motor-powered scooters.

The Ecooter’s price starts at Php 80,000, with dealers providing prospective customers with a battery upon purchase and participate in Ecooter’s battery-swap program. Those who don’t want to opt-in for the battery-swapping program can avail of a charging kit (which includes a battery and charging adapter), which is priced at Php 30,000.  Colors available include black, gray, white, red, and yellow. Ecooters have a 2-year warranty for the battery and 1-year warranty for the scooter.
