Many Evee models come with three ride modes — Eco, Normal, and Sport. Here's what each does, when to use them, and which models have them.
Ride modes are one of the most useful features on a modern Evee — they let one scooter behave like three. Here's what each mode does, when to use it, and which Evee models offer them.
What Each Mode Does (In Plain English)
- Eco — gentle throttle response, lower top speed. The longest range and the most beginner-friendly feel.
- Normal — balanced throttle and speed. Day-to-day default for most riders.
- Sport — full throttle response and top speed. Quickest acceleration but uses more battery.
When to Use Each
- Eco: daily commuting, learning to ride, busy stop-go traffic, or whenever you want to stretch range.
- Normal: general everyday riding when you want a familiar, predictable feel.
- Sport: when you need quick overtakes, an open road, or extra punch with a pillion.
Which Evees Have Three Modes?
The full three-mode setup is available on the Gen-Z and S1 families:
- Evee Gen-Z, Gen-Z Lithium, Gen-Z Pro
- Evee S1, S1 Lithium, S1 Pro, S1 Air, S1 Air Lithium
Lighter, simpler entry models like the Evee Flipper come with a single fixed mode for easy operation.
Tips for Mode Use
- Start every ride in Eco for the first few minutes if you're new or in tight traffic.
- Switch to Sport sparingly — it's there when you need it, not every kilometre.
- Use Eco on long commutes to keep range comfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does Sport Mode Damage the Battery?

How Much More Range Does Eco Give?
It varies, but Eco noticeably extends range — see our range guide.
Which Mode Should Beginners Use?
Eco — every time, until the scooter feels second nature. See our beginner's guide.
Are Modes Available on Every Evee?
No — most premium and mid-range models offer three modes; the lightest entry models use a single fixed mode.
