Why choose electric?

We've been All-in on electric power since day one.

We are dedicated to advancing society's transition to 100% electric power with our Eco Rider brushless electric ATVs and rideons. 

Why choose electric?
Six Reasons to Upgrade Now. 

Safety

Each of our electric rideons comes with a three-speed adjustable safety dial, to ensure that you can ride well within your capabilities at a speed that you are comfortable with.

Not only this but because each of our rideons runs on an electric battery, meaning there is no petrol engine with potentially dangerous moving parts, which could pose a danger to you, as the rider and those around you.

Silence

The trouble with petrol quads and rideons is the fact that the engines are incredibly noisy. Our range of electric rideons is virtually silent.

This is not only great for the neighbours when the kids are playing in the garden, but they are also ideal for working in an agricultural or equestrian setting when working with easily spooked horses and livestock.

Economical

Petrol quads require a large, thirsty engine to operate. Our rideons are much more economical and in some cases work out ten times cheaper than petrol counterparts.

Petrol costs can often be quite significant, particularly for working vehicles, which means that such a considerable saving can be moved to other parts of your operation.

Practical

While it’s true to say that electric rideons still require maintenance and the occasional part replacement, the frequency and cost are nothing compared to petrol models.

Petrol engines are made up of numerous moving parts, which means should even the smallest component malfunction could be quite costly to repair.

Ecological

As the world has grown more conscious of the ever-increasing emissions we’re producing, attention has turned to alternative fuels and vehicles.

Unlike dirty, emission producing petrol rideons, our products are designed to provide absolutely no emissions, zero pollution and therefore no harm to the environment.

Powerful

Despite what you may think, electric quads have many key benefits over petrol counterparts, and the powerful electric battery is just as capable of delivering action-packed escapades as petrol models – so you don’t need to compromise on high-speed thrills.

Eco Rider Quads are fitted with Brushless motors and 4 Wheel Direct Drive capable of instant power, generating huge torque, meaning unbeatable acceleration and the ability to tow heavy loads and drive across the most difficult of terrains.

Why Brushless Motors?

At Eco Rider, all of our electric ATVs and rideons are built around Brushless DC motors. Here we've outlined a few of the benefits of these motors.
Brushless motors have an overall higher speed and torque, and produce less noise than traditional brushed motors. They also run more efficiently and have little or no power loss, which is a problem that can accompany brushed motors due to increased friction caused by the brushes.

There are no carbon brushes.

Brushless DC motor does not have any carbon brushes, which reduces frequent replacement requirements of brushes and maintenance costs.

They perform better and are more efficient.

Brushless DC motors have better performance and efficiency as compared to the brushed DC motors due to the involvement of electronic control enabling high-level control over the speed and position of the motor.
Brushless DC motors also have a lifespan approximately 6 times higher than the counter brushed DC motor.

They don't create sparks - which reduces lifespan.

Brushes can cause high sparks which may result in short life or complete burnout of brushed DC motor. However, in the case of brushless DC motor, due to no spark issue, there are fewer chances of burnout due to sparking issues.

They are compact but with high torque.

Brushless DC motors are available in small compact sizes and also provide high torque to weight ratio making it suitable for many robotics and medical applications involving robotic arms and robotic legs.

They have a low operating noise.

Brushless DC motor produces comparatively low operating noise as compared to other motors of the same ratings. As in other motors, there is continuous contact of brushes resulting in noise and sparking during contact. Therefore, brushless DC motors are given preference where electrical noise needs to be avoided.

They generate maximum torque continuously.

Brushless DC motors can provide maximum torque continuously during rotation, while brushed DC motor can provide maximum torque at an only specific point of the rotation. For the same torque rating, the brushed motor will require a much bigger magnet as compared to the brushless DC motor. This results in a very compact and small-sized brushless DC motor proving very high torque rating.

They aren't prone to electromagnet heat issues.

Brushed DC motors have an issue with not being able to dissipate heat and quickly cool due to the presence of an electromagnet in the centre of the motor. The electromagnet keeps the motor hotter for longer, meaning it is less safe and economical than brushless DC motors which do not have an electromagnet in the centre and aren't similarly affected by the heating issue.
