Electric vehicles are not only our profession but our passion as well
E-Ride started in the beginning of 2003 as a subsidiary of Greenwit Technologies Ltd, a Canadian company dedicated to introducing the public to Light Electric Vehicles (LEV). We did not invent electric bikes, electric scooters, electric skateboards, etc... and we are probably not the first Canadian Company dedicated to electric driven transportation. Thanks to our customers, dealers and franchisees we are doing our best in continuously upgrading our MOTORINO TM electric vehicles and in designing new electric vehicles, thus meeting the higher power and speed standards of North America while keeping them compliant with the federal safety standards.
At E-Ride, we bring you the best products made by the best manufacturers in Asia. As we work together we always implement the newest technologies and high quality components in our vehicles. Greenwit Technologies has been granted with the exclusive rights for all commercially available LEV made by our partners. We are proud to be part of their manufacturing process.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the range of a fully charged MOTORINO™ scooter?
The Range is affected by the weight of rider, the type of terrain and the manner of driving. The scooters can hold two battery packs.
a) with basic battery pack the range is 50 km based on flat surface and a loading weight of 170Lb;
b) with dual battery pack the range is increased to 80 km;
c) the regenerative braking system of MOTORINO™ can extend their range up to 15% depending on the manner of riding and the terrain.
2. How fast does the MOTORINO™ scooter go?
The MOTORINO scooters are classified as bicycles in many countries, including Canada and as such the speed is limited to 32 km/hr.
3. How does riding a MOTORINO™ electric scooter differ from the riding of a gas scooter?
The riding of electric scooter is incomparably more comfortable than riding of a gas scooter because:
a) it is absolutely quiet;
b) the electric scooter has no clutch but it is direct driven by a motor built in the rear axle which provides a quick acceleration 0 to 30km/hr in 4 seconds;
c) the low position of the battery pack shifts the electric scooter center of gravity low to the ground which makes it stable and easier to balance than a regular bicycle.
4. What inclines can the MOTORINO™ scooter handle?
The MOTORINO™ electric scooters equipped with 500W high torque brushless motor can handle hills of 15 -17 degrees with a load of 170Lb. The MOTORINO HTh model equipped with a geared motor with DYNATECH™ torque converter can handle hills of up to 20 degrees.
5. What are the pedals for? Do I need to start the scooter by pedaling?
You dont need to start the scooter by pedaling. The MOTORINO™ motor is powerful enough to start it just by twisting the throttle even on a hilly terrain. The pedals, however, qualify the scooter as a bicycle and make it usable under the same regulations as a bicycle. The pedals are also useful if the scooter is used by two people on a hilly terrain to assist the motor.
6. What maintenance is required?
The MOTORINO™ electric scooter is designed to be maintenance free. Considering the fact that this scooter has no combustion engine, no transmission, no belts, no chains, no clutch, no ignition plugs, no carburetor, and uses no gasoline and no lubricants it requires very little maintenance. Modular designed components are practically maintenance free. The unique design of the direct drive system and the use of brushless motor make the MOTORINO™ scooter much easier to maintain than other electric scooters. Typically the only technical problem could be a flat tire, the replacement of which is not very different from a regular bike and any bike shop would be able to do it.
However, you should check regularly for loose nuts, adjust the brakes, lubricate the chain and charge the batteries.
7. What about parts, is it a problem getting parts for the MOTORINO™ scooter?
Parts are not a problem. Expendable parts like tires, tubes, bulbs, etc. can be found in just about any regular bike store. Besides, you can find in our website a detailed Parts List for every MOTORINO™ scooter and you can order them online. All MOTORINO® scooters are covered with one year bumper to bumper warranty, two years for the frame and six month for the battery.
8. How do I charge the battery?
The battery can be charged on the board by plugging the charger cable into the charging terminal or off the board by removing the battery from the scooter and charging separately. The battery doesnt have a memory and can be charged at any stage. For longer battery life it is recommended to be plugged in after every ride. You dont need to time the battery charge. When the battery is fully charged the charger switch to a trickle charge mode and prevents overcharging.
9. How long will the batteries last? What is the battery life cycle? What is the battery replacement price?
The battery is a deep cycle lead acid and is good for 300-400 cycles. However if you top it up before fully discharged you can double and triple the number of cycles and extend the battery life to 2-3 years or more. The replacement cost of the basic battery pack is $180.00 to $240.00 and the second battery is $180.00.
10. How can I know my consumption, battery condition and energy level?
The MOTORINO® scooters dashboard has an indicator showing at any time the consumption current and the current you are generating while breaking. Another indicator shows the percentage of the energy left in the battery.
11. What is the power consumption for charging the batteries?
Charging two batteries from flat consumes 1.2 to 1.4 KWH which amounts to $0.007 to $0.008 for a cost of $0.006 per KWH.
12. If I have two batteries, do I need to carry them all the time?
It is not necessary. If you go for a short range you can remove the second battery and use under the seat space as a storage. However, before plugging in the second battery make sure both battery packs are fully charged. Using two batteries eliminates the power sagging if you ride the scooter on hills close to 15 degrees pitch.
13. If one of the batteries has a problem do I need to replace them all?
Not necessarily. Simply ask your dealer to check the batteries condition and only replace the one which is not good.
14. Can I use the scooter in rain? Can I clean it with water without any concern?
Absolutely. The electric system is covered and the motor is completely sealed. In fact the MOTORINO™ scooters are tested in rain simulation cells for water resistance.
15. What are the advantages of having an electric scooter?
a) Freedom - it is classified as a bicycle and as such can benefit from all the freedom you have riding a regular bike;
b) Economical dont pay for parking, insurance, drivers license, gas, maintenance, pennies to charge. If used as a substitute of car it pays of in 4 months;
c) Safer than a bike the scooters look and have all safety features as a gas motorcycle. From our customers experience car drivers pay scooter riders more respect than if they ride a regular bicycle;
d) Quiet no any engine and transmission noise. It is literally noiseless;
e) Environmental it is more environmental than using a bus. Utilizes the idle night energy when you charge it. Batteries are recycled and there is no emission;
f) A lot of fun you will believe when you try it.
16. Who would benefit from an electric scooter?
a) People who need to avoid heavy traffic. Since our MOTORINO™ scooters are classified by Transport Canada as Power Assisted Bicycles they can travel beside the traffic or anywhere where regular bicycles are used;
b) People working in the city tired of looking and paying for parking. All MOTORINO™ scooters can be legally parked on the sidewalk using their antitheft security features;
c) Daily commuters traveling up to 60-70 km on flat or 30-40 on hills. The high torque motor provides enough power to handle 15 degree hills;
d) Commuters who hate to get wet in a rainy weather. The specially designed for MOTORINO™ scooters rain cape which is included with the scooter and the visor helmet protect the rider completely in rain;
e) The environment.

Riding Tips
Pre-operational Safety Tips
1. Read your owners manual carefully before using your Electric Scooter.
2. If there are any loose or damaged parts, perform adjustments or repairs before riding.
3. Familiarize yourself with the components of your electric scooter.
4. Both tires on your electric scooter should be inflated to the maximum recommended pressure-printed on the sidewall of the tire or specified in the manual.
5. Make certain that the brakes work properly by applying the brakes separately, (front brake then back brake) and manually pushing the electric scooter forward. Adjust brakes if required. Refer to manual for detailed instrustions.
6. Inspect the throttle by twisting it on and letting it snap back. BE SURE THE THROTTLE SNAPS BACK TO ITS STARTING POSITION!! A STICKY THROTTLE CAN CAUSE UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION AND THUS BODILY INJURY.
7. Make certain the battery is charged completely by hooking up the charger. If the red light is on, the charge is in process. Charge it until the green light comes on.
Performance and Range
Your electric scooter will get the best performance when used on smooth and flat terrain. The range may vary depending on the load weight, terrain, tire pressure, wind resistance and the number of stops. Remember to charge your scooter after every ride, even a short ride! Never leave the batteries in a discharged state overnight. Do not force the motor on steep terrain; rather gently use the power while you are pedaling. Assisting the motors acceleration by using the pedals will increase your speed and range.
Circuit Protection
All the Motorino Electric Scooters are equipped with several electrical circuit protection devices.
1. The motor controller will automatically limit the current to protect the motor from over-heating. This may occur when you are traveling up a steep incline or a similarly demanding environment.
2. Check your manual if your electric scooter is equipped with a low voltage protection switch. If the battery voltage drops below the specified protection level, the controller will shut down automatically. If there is no protection switch, you should keep track on the battery charge level. Check in your manual the recommended charge indication level up to which you can safely ride your electric scooter. When the batteries are in a low state of charge, a quick acceleration of the throttle or otherwise high demand of current will drain the power faster. This will also shorten the battery life. Assisting with the pedals to accelerate your electric scooter will prevent such an extreme voltage drop.
3. In some models there is also a protection fuse connected between the batteries. It works as an ultimate protection of the motor and the batteries.
WARNING It is very important to keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressure printed on the sidewall of the tire. Low tire pressure can result in the following:
1. Reduced range
2. Reduced speed
3. Diminished battery life due to excessive current draw
4. Overheating of controller and/or motor, which could result in failure. Tires will slowly lose pressure over time, so be sure to monitor your tire pressure frequently.
