FAQs - EcoMotion Business & Services

Q. Is there an EcoMotion store or shopfront I can visit?

A. EcoMotion is a mobile, van-based business. We are based in St Kilda, so are handy to Melbourne's bayside suburbs, but we come to you right across Melbourne and Geelong - for test rides, sales & service pick-ups! So while we do offer a pick-up service for purchases, there is no traditional shop-front where you can browse. This enables EcoMotion to keep our costs down and provides an increased convenience for our customers, with a pick-up and drop off service available for repairs.

Q. Can you fix my puncture/flat or change the tyre on my scooter?
A. EcoMotion now replaces inner tubes and tyres, as well as servicing brakes of most popular eScooters. We stock a range of generic spare parts, chargers, tyres and inner tubes to suit most of the main eScooters on the market.

You can make an online booking under the "Service & Repairs" menu on our website.

FAQs - Legal
Q. Is it legal to ride an electric scooter in my State?
A. The laws relating to private electric scooter use vary throughout Australia. Being a Melbourne/Victorian based reseller, information at ecomotion.com.au reflects the laws in this State.

It is legal to sell and purchase electric scooters in all Australian States, as well as ride them on private property.

Please visit the page we have dedicated to the legal status of privately owned electric scooters in Victoria, along to links to the relevant information for other Australian States.

FAQs - Shipping
Q. Can you ship scooters to New Zealand? How much?
We can ship electric scooters to pretty much anywhere in Australia, and New Zealand. In order to provide a quote for New Zealand shipping, we will require the specific delivery address, as well as details of which scooter you want shipped. Email info@ecomotion.com.au for a shipping quote.

Service & Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your e-scooter.

Depending on the frequency of use, distances travelled, road conditions, your speed and riding style, your scooter will need servicing every 6 - 12 months.
