I have the Ecotron kit, still working on it all.

I want to hear more about the kit in this thread:
scootdawg.proboards.com/thread/57310/jumped-ordered-efi-kit

I have only read about members using the Ecotrons EFI kit which I plan on getting on for my 2T with two injectors , programmable ECU with software to set things like rev limit or not and timing .

My Echarm has an older Ducatti EFI system as some Echarms have a carb . First thing I noticed is instant throttle response with no stall or bogging ever . Instant starts regardless if its 17 or 100 degrees with hot or cold engine . Idle is always the same , where my 2T it would idle up a bit higher in the winter and I would have to adjust the idle speed when the seasons changed . We have all read or even had carb issues like clogged jets , sealed airscrew or bowl , torn diaphragm ETC , but I have yet to read an EFI issue . Im sure the electric fuel pump can wear out like cars can , but with over 16k miles it still purrs and screams . Everyone I have let ride my scooter who had a 150 with a carb all said it was a rocket on take off and so much midrange power . At 50 MPH I can let up on the throttle then hit WOT and have it throw my 200lb self back .

The ONLY drawback is you lack the ease of upgrades like larger jets or venturi with a larger carb which is a simple mod . Some have a CDI but mine the ignition is controlled by the ECU . Both Ducatti shops here would not touch mine when I asked if they could reprogram my ECU and no software ( I could not find any ) for it . I did find a kit on Amazon for 120 and 200 for a kit with more items but I could not find a single post where someone used it on a CFMoto engine . My scooter dealer did replace his throttle body with one for a 250cc Jet Max but needed a plug for a BMW 320i as it was not the same as the 150 one . He said it was a big diff in performance and had not done a MPG comparison yet .

EFI is superior and its not a simple bolt on so it may take a weekend with some troubleshooting and need a header with O2 sensor bung hole or you will have to drill and thread your own

All you people that have them installed how about some pictures of the setup on your scoots.

All my photos are on the old thread. After 2+ years my EFI is working great! NO STARTING ISSUES. Still have the minor battery charging issue. I just charge up the battery once a month or so.
