Energy Motion - Ocean model
« on: February 08, 2020, 08:46:18 PM »

Hola, I am new to the forum and new to e-motorcycles.

I live in Jarin Colombia South America which is a good distance from the big city of Medellin and ever farther from Bogota which is the capital and has the most electric motos and bikes and car options.

I managed to find a 2017 model, the EM Ocean, which is now 3 years old with GEL batteries. I should be picking it up next week if everything goes well with paperwork.

Wanted to get feedback on battery replacement options. Being in Colombia I am more limited on options.

Hi there

Although I will not be able to help with your question, I looked up your bike. Without speaking Spanish I managed to understand the technical details to some degree. Automatic Browser translation also helped.
Do you have an idea how healthy the battery is? How many times it has been drained, recharged and under what condition?

Who is the maker of the bike?

I hope, all goes well with the papers and you can enjoy the bike as soon as possible ...  :)

Thank you for the reply, after 6 years here in Colombia and studying Spanish for a bit longer I am not to bad at reading and speaking it... like I tell everyone here, I only know two languages, "Bad English and Mal Espanol" :-)

If I believe what the owner tells me about the care of the battery(s) they should be in very good condition. He said he only travels 8km a day so it hasn't been through that many charge cycles. He said the factory where he bought will replace them, he said there are 6, so 6 -12v batteries for 72v, and that they would charge 1.6 million pesos ($468.66 at today exchange rate) or I could replace them myself for about 1.4 million pesos. I did find a lithium battery, 72v 40ah here in Colombia but it is over 6.7 million pesos and I am not sure I really need the extra 10ah for local driving as I live close to town.

I am not sure if "Energy Motion" is the actual factory that makes them here or if they are some sort of Chinese import... it is very hard to find information here in Colombia even on Google.

My hope is to figure all these things out and then I will be able to share my knowledge with others to make someone else life easier :-)

I am told the new "tarjeta de propiedad" (owners card) has been issued in my name so it is looking good for my purchase of the e-moto this coming Tuesday and I will post an update shortly there after.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I took ownership of the Energy Motion Ocean yesterday and it was delivered to my house this morning. So far I have taken "Azuleja*" up the mountain road to a trout farm to buy ...  some trout of course! And I have ridden it down to the town to pick some cement and mixing sand (just mall bags). I must say this thing is a lot of fun! I was use to riding Harley's and then here in Colombia my Honda CB190R... riding this is totally different but only took me a few seconds to adjust to how it handles and rides. 

It is not as fast of the line as I thought it would be but maybe that is due to a governor or how the transmission works since it is an automatic?

The batteries seem fine as it still shows Full Charge after the two trips and the first trip was up a very steep road. I will post more info as I use the E-Moto more.

*Azuleja is the name given to the moto by the original owner.... who am I to change it ... :-)
