    Ecotric Tornado

    From my past experience with Ecotric I would take a hard pass on all their bikes. Seeing this thread is over 2 years old I doubt the op even bought one

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    Ecotric had nothing to say but pointed me to a link to purchase a new battery. They won't even own up to shoddy workmanship.

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    I decided to open up the old battery to see if there's anything obvious. Sure enough! Poor workmanship killed this battery. Broken wire on the main switch and a chaffed wire where the screw holds the case together at the bottom. That's probably why it was surging until it died and i would get...

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    I got my new battery. I'm sure it's Ecotric selling their batteries and other stuff on Amazon. It was $399 plus tax and free shipping. Never heard back from Ecotric. Now I'm wondering if I should keep my old battery in case a row of cells fails again. You said it was difficult to replace them...

    2 year Ecotric Seagull review

    I knew from the start that you get what you pay for and it certainly holds true for the Seagull. I bought 2 of these. I liked the unique look and 1000 watt motor. I really can't find anything to rave about on these bikes. It's been work and money spent since I bought them. 1. How many flat tires...

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    My battery dropped to 2.6 volts and it won't even take a charge. Ecotric won't even reply to me for any kind of help I'll just get a new battery but I need to recycle my old one. Should I worry about a fire with my old battery until I dispose of it?

    My Ecotric Bike Experience After 1 Year

    Never heard from the other site so I ordered 4 of the glass fuses from scooterparts, $10 shipped Ecotric said there was a 10 amp fuse in their $$$kit. Is there a fuse by the controller? Hope I never need them but now I have them lol

    My Ecotric Bike Experience After 1 Year

    That 30 amp fuse in ceramic is impossible to find. Waiting to hear back from one more manufacturer. I don't care if it even has the pigtails and i cut them off. Why would someone build a battery with such a specialized fuse?

    My Ecotric Bike Experience After 1 Year

    Yes the rear tire can be a bit tricky getting it put back in to the right slots but it's not too bad a deal. I did find the fuse. Ecotric did say the 10A and 30A are $30 Scooterbikes is out of the fuses for now. And it's a very special fuse. I gave up searching lol

    My Ecotric Bike Experience After 1 Year

    The bikes are at the cabin. I'll check the fuse next week. Thanks for the tire recommendation. Bought ours may 2020 so not sure if they have the same tires. Haven't had problems with the tires. The inside of the tube would get a hole from the burrs on the spoke holes. Deburred them and got...

    My Ecotric Bike Experience After 1 Year

    I had the flat tire problem. 11 miles and 2 flats. Turned out to be the holes for the spokes weren't deburred on the rim. I bought the cloth rim tape and heavy duty tubes and deburred the rims. No more flats and Ecotric paid for all my supplies. Haven't had any issues with the fuses. Can someone...
