Ecospin Raptor User Manual 21
General Use
How to ride your Raptor
When driving up hill the rider should lean forward
towards the handlebars
When driving down hill, be prepared to apply brakes
gradually to maintain a safe controllable speed
Practice controlling the vehicle on small inclines/declines
and gradually build up to larger ones
Exercise extreme caution when turning on inclines while
operating the vehicle
Practice turning corners at low speeds before gradually
building up to higher speeds
Avoid sudden changes in direction at speed this may
destabilize the vehicle and/or the operator
Leaning into corners slightly will improve the stability and
control of the vehicle
Always turn the handlebars slowly and smoothly
The Raptor is able to turn or pivot 360° within its own
radius, this should only be performed at very low speeds
Never turn the handlebars quickly and sharply, this can
cause instability or loss of control
Ensure that all three wheels remain firmly on the ground
at all times
Never attempt to drive on a surface that will not easily
support the vehicles weight, including rider and cargo
When stationary always apply the hand brake/ parking
brake
Ecospin Raptor User Manual 22
General Use
Acceleration:
Slowly and gradually twist the throttle to accelerate
Once the desired speed is achieved hold the grip at that
position to maintain that speed
Releasing or twisting the right handlebar grip will stop
power going to the motors, the vehicle will gradually lose speed and come to a stop
The Raptor has a built in battery recognition system that
recognises if they are present and charged. The maximum speed reachable is programmable and can be tailored according to fleet requirements. Default programming Is 25mph with 2 or more charged battery packs and up to 13mph on a single pack.
Reduced acceleration and hill climb speeds will be
experienced with single pack operation.
Ecospin Raptor User Manual 23
Battery Pack Information
The Raptor is powered by high quality Lithium-ion battery technology. The following information will ensure that the battery remains at maximum performance for the duration of the Battery packs lifecycle.
Warning. Only authorised Ecospin technicians are permitted to
open or alter a battery pack. Doing so can be extremely dangerous if not fatal without specialised skills, training and knowledge. Braking of the seals will invalidate warranty
Only use a lithium charger provided by an Ecospin authorised dealer
that is compatible with the battery pack. any other may cause fatal damage to packs and void warranty. Using the wrong charger may cause thermal events including fires
Although the Raptor can take one, two or three battery packs, it is
essential to prolong the life of the pack (number of chargers it can take during its life span )that they batteries must be used and charged as sets this will ensure batteries stay at optimum levels of performance. To assist with this each pack has a battery identification label (BIL) to identify it. (Sets can be used in different vehicles so long as they are used and charged as sets, batteries can be used in any slot however there must be a battery present and charged in the bottom slot for the vehicle to move )
Batteries must be used as sets
Never mix part charged packs and full packs if in doubt charge them
all. Mixing different states of charge battery packs even belonging to the same set will damage the life duration of the pack. the charges will only charge to full capacity (impossible to over charge)
Battery Conditioning:
The initial Battery charges and discharge (battery cycles)
will train the battery pack to operate at its maximum operating capacity and align the state of charge meter.
Once the battery conditioning period is complete you can
charge and use your battery whenever you like, but it is recommended that once a month they be fully charged & discharged. This action relearns and resets the state of charge meter calibration (failure to do so may cause inaccurate reading levels to be displayed).
Lithium-ion batteries can be charged as often as required
and do not suffer from memory effect that some other chemistries .
Failure to comply and operate the battery packs In line with
these instructions can invalidate the warranty of the battery packs.
Ecospin Raptor User Manual 24
Battery Pack Information
Charging:
Each battery pack can be fully charged in approximately 5 hours
through a regular 13amp household plug socket (times may vary depending on the choice of charging unit)
To charge the Vehicle, simply plug the (approved) charger into
the front mounted charge point on the battery pack and connect into mains supply. When the pack is full the charger will automatically stop charging. The Batteries can be charged in or out of vehicle. Ensure that vehicle is switched off whilst/if charging batteries on board the vehicle.
Specialised charging units for multiple battery packs will be
available in late 2014.
If a battery has recently been used we recommend letting it
cool for a minimum of 1-2 hours before charging
Batteries can take longer to charge if they are hot from recent
use
Storing battery packs:
The Raptor has been designed to be used with as many battery packs as you require in sets, allowing for continuous operation
By storing battery packs at your base location you can quickly swap depleted packs on board a vehicle with fully charged packs and be back in operation in seconds.
Battery packs must be fully charged when they are being stored
for weeks with out being used.
All battery packs, including those in storage must be fully
charged at least once every 30 days
If a battery pack is left for more than 30 days without being
charged it may become damaged
Always store battery packs in a dry, well ventilated area and out
of direct sunlight
Battery packs must always be stored between 0°C to 50°C and
always keep batteries well away from external heat sources e.g Boilers/fires etc.
It is recommended that all batteries are stored off ground to
reduce the likelihood of damage
Failure to comply with battery storage procedures can void
warranty

Ecospin Raptor User Manual 29
Battery Charging
The batteries must be disengaged from the vehicle before charging please ensure that Whilst charging they are not connected
Firstly plug in the Lithium Battery Charger into a power supply,
And connect the three pronged charging lead to the charge point on the front of the battery
Next turn on the charger with the switch on the back of the unit.
LED1 shall light up red to confirm the Charger is on, When LED2 shines red this confirms that the charger is charging and when LED2 displays Green this shows the Battery is fully charged
The charging time can vary on the battery current state of charge but typical charging times are between 3 -5 hours before the battery reaches optimum charge levels.
Battery Range
Battery Range:
The Battery pack range of any electrically powered vehicle is
very much dependant on type of duty cycle it is exposed to, The Type of duty cycle is defined by the terrain “inclines or flat” use and weight of “total payload" and aggressiveness of drive (speed). Temperature can also reduce range when reaching it extreme limits, tyre pressures can also dramatically effect the vehicles efficiency
Our range predictions are based on a 85kg payload operating
on the flat over a one tenth of a mile acceleration to full speed and brake with turn around at each end
Under these conditions the ranges are
One battery pack (up to max 13mph speed) returns up to 18
miles range
Two battery packs (up to max 25mph & increased
acceleration) returns up to 30 miles range
Three battery packs (same as two packs) returns up to 42
miles range
Factors that decrease the range of your vehicle:
Acceleration. The faster you accelerate the more quickly you will
deplete the stored electricity in your battery pack. In addition to this the more often you accelerate the more power you will consume.
Weight. Adding weight to the vehicle will require the motors to
work harder and therefore use more power reducing the range expectancy of your vehicle
Speed. Higher speeds require more power, the faster you travel
the more quickly you will deplete your battery
Tyres. low tyre pressures will also reduce the range of the vehicle
How to improve the range of your vehicle:
Accelerate steadily, avoiding full throttle acceleration and build
up to the required speed gradually
Avoid carrying unnecessary weight on the vehicle
Maintaining a constant speed is more economical than stopping
and starting over the same distance
Drive conservatively when you require the maximum range from
your battery pack
