The Problem
Your petrol fleet is costing you more than you think.
Every delivery fleet operator in South Africa faces the same three challenges. They eat into your margins, slow your riders, and hold your business back.
⏱ Charging downtime kills productivity
Conventional EVs need 4–8 hours to charge. Your riders can't afford to wait — every hour off the road is revenue lost.
4–8 hours average charge time for conventional EVs
R Fuel and maintenance costs are rising
Petrol prices keep climbing. ICE engines need constant servicing — oil, plugs, transmission. Your per-delivery cost is under pressure.
R24+/litre and still climbing year on year
⚡No reliable charging infrastructure
South Africa's grid is unpredictable. Public charging is scarce. Building your own depot is expensive and exposed to load-shedding.
Stage 2–6 load-shedding disrupts fixed charging
🛵 Purpose-built electric scooters
The Ecooter E3 delivers up to 210km range with a dual-battery system, all-terrain tyres, and GPS tracking. Built for SA roads and delivery demands.
🔋Instant battery swap network
Pull up, swap your depleted battery for a fully charged one in under 60 seconds, and ride. Faster than filling up with petrol. No charging wait.
📊 Complete fleet management
Real-time tracking, battery health monitoring, rider management, operational analytics. Full visibility and control from a single dashboard.

Petrol vs Ecoworks
See what switching to electric actually saves you.
We've done the maths. Here's how a 10-scooter Ecoworks fleet compares to the petrol equivalent over a typical operating month.
| OPERATING COST | PETROL FLEET | ECOWORKS FLEET |
|---|---|---|
| Energy / fuel cost per km | ~R1.20/km | ~R0.35/km |
| Refuelling / recharging downtime | 10–15 min per fill (queues, detours) | 60 seconds — swap and go |
| Monthly maintenance per scooter | R800–R1,500 (oil, plugs, belts) | R200–R400 (tyres, brakes only) |
| Infrastructure required | Fuel station dependency | Ecoworks swap stations — we manage it |
| Load-shedding impact | Fuel pumps go offline | Pre-charged batteries on standby |
| Fleet visibility & tracking | Third-party add-on (extra cost) | Built-in — GPS, battery, rider data |
| CO₂ emissions | ~2.3 kg/litre | Zero tailpipe |
