Eco Chopper Review (it's electric!) - Koh Samui 

Thanks Rich!

Yes, I can imagine it would be fun for a short daily commute :)

FaB*Bo*Peep do u lived in the United States ? I’ve been looking into one of these but I don’t know if you need insurance for it ? And how much insurance would be ? Can u drive these on main streets ?

@@johndillinger3988 Hi John, I live in the UK and have the 2KW version which is limited to a top speed of 45kmh (28mph) and it's therefore treated exactly the same as a 50cc moped. A small fee to the DVLA, (Driver Vehicle and Licensing Agency), to issue you with a vehicle registration number, (you have to display the resulting number plate at the rear of the bike). Insurance is compulsary and you have to wear a helmet. No road tax though. And yes you can then drive it on the road. Insurance is fairly cheap but if like me you have many years worth of no claims discount in a car, unfortunately that does not count for anything and you start on 2 wheels with zero no claims.

FaB*Bo*Peep Thank You so much for your response :) I will look into it :)

Can you please let me know how did you bought it? And what is the link

Someone else said that it looked like a Honda Fury too! Minus the engine of course, lol :)

Sorry, I'm not sure and didn't know you could. It may be worth asking the manufacturers here eco-chopper.sk/

Can you provide me with a link pls

I think there are better options for city commuting really. The suspension is better suited to smoother stuff and there's no real storage though I guess you could put a bag on the platform under the "tank". Because of manoeuvrability and visibility etc I think an electric moped would probably be a better option for city commuting.

@@RichRides thank you for the reply. The practical considerations are the most important and you bring up good points... But before I saw this I never wanted to ride a moped to work. Little vespa style bikes probably are a great design given they haven't changed a whole lot in decades... But I still don't want to ride one lol

@@btfairweather haha, yes I get that. I was never a fan of scooters but having now spent so long in Asia I totally understand why they are so popular here because of ease of use and practicality.

I'm not sure but it may be worth asking the manufacturers here eco-chopper.sk/

GamesfanVR i have about the same lengt. I have one. No problem at all. Real fun owning one

No, it's definitely just a single seater with its bobber style seat!

@Mus Tash 🤣🤣🤣

I'm not sure either but would try and find an importer of new ones to where you are and see if they can get you one.

Yes, it's waterproof 👍

I did think the same...

Or putting a rubber maid bin in there to transport groceries. Just need bungee cords.

@@e.j.alcairo8195 ....I like it 👍

77kph derestricted

I own one. the fastest I have gotten it up to is 51Km/hr

It's designed for just 1 but as the battery is removable I guess you could carry a spare as there's probably space on the footboard.

@@RichRides the it's a version of this bike that takes 2 batteries.

You see so many ebike advertising especially on RU-vid but haven't seen any like these advertised like the others

This is the manufacturers website eco-chopper.sk/

Koh Samui, Thailand 👍

@@RichRides cool!

Yes it's quite low and the suspension was quite stiff so you want to stick to tarmac with one of these.

These were just for hire but in Europe I believe they are around €1300.

Rich Rides good to know. Thanks

Do u need a licence ?

@@tatwsmawr it depends on the country really. Here in Greece its considered a no license scooter like the xiaomi scooters for now.

@@tatwsmawr Yes
