Setting of Electronic brake

Precautions when using electronic brake immediately after full battery charge I
The electronic brakes do not operate when the battery is fully charged, so be sure to check and operate this device. When the battery runs out, the electronic brake will operate normally.

ABS function setting guide
All electric motorcycles are subject to sudden braking, causing the wheels to stop spinning. As a result,
the slip of tire causes the driver to fall down, which can cause accidents. This product is equipped with ABS
brake function to hold the tire lock, enabling more secure braking.

ABS brake is an abbreviation of Anti-Lock Brake System. It uses the principle that maximum static friction force is larger than kinetic friction, so that braking distance [distance from breaking to stopping] is shorter than that of normal brake. It has the advantage that the vehicle does not slip well when wheel is rotating. and it is a brake assist system that can stop more safely without wheel lock and slip.

Precautions when using the ABS function
ABS has the advantage of being able to stop at the shortest braking distance that can be obtained from the tires and road cond1t1ons. However, due to the principle of repeatedly holding and releasing the brake several times in a second, a lot of vibration occurs in the motor and the body. Repetitive vibration caused by this may cause frequent loosening of the motor, rim, fixing part and body fixing bolt.

2. External damage inspection by driving environment &, Caution (i) Replace parts that may be damaged by external driving environment, such as deformation of parls, cracks due to compression, and signs of exceeding fine gold or life expectancy.
   ® If the product is exposed to strong sunlight for a long time, discoloration may occur.

   • In case of heavy driving such as normal jumps, slight impacts such as turning, collision, etc., when driving frequently or for a long lime in a poor road condition or driving for thousands of kilometers or more, fatigue breakdown phenomena Please check and replace the parts replacement schedule for each product for safely.
   •  Fatigue breakdown and maintenance parts may differ from the example conditions depending on the driving environment and the operating conditions. Also check parts other than the replacement cycle (maintenance parts] at all times to check for any signs of abnormality.

Important notice

• Metal vibration may occur due to motor vibration, vibration of the brake disc and pad during the load section that accelerates during drving. [About 15 – 30Km, different for each product] This is a phenomenon in which all revolutions !fans, automobiles, ships, etc.I are vibrating at a specific rotational frequency (rpm) rather than the product. However, if the continuous noise or metal noise is large, there is a possibility that the disk is bent and deformed.

• Please note that after running, there is a risk of burns due to the heat on the motor and brake !especially disk rotor! side.

• Be careful that the bolts of the motor, rim and motor shaft due to the ABS function may be loosened.

Maintenance by self-maintenance

1. Brake adjustment method
   As you continue to use the brakes, the brake pads become worn out and the gap between the pads and the brake disc becomes wider. If the braking force drops, use a 5mm hexagon wrench to loosen the brake arm wire bolt, then lift the brake arm upwards to adjust the braking force.

2. Causes and counter measures of disc brake noise
   The disc braking method uses a disc brake method with many electric kickboards because braking power is good. However, if you gel a sharp hissing sound when you hold the disc brake, dust or sand particles on the ground will spill out on the surface of the disc, causing foreign substances to be on the brake pads or disc surface, or bending due to heat or external impact. Al this time, clean the inner surface of the disc by turning the wheels with a clean, dry cloth, or straightening the bent discs.

3. Variable rear rubber suspension system (patent pending) adjustment
   Designed by Minamoto’s, 5 kinds adjustable rubber suspension system allows you to adjust the suspension strength with rubber cartridge replacement (5 kinds: soft; medium soft; mediu; medium hard; hard).

4. Remove the rear fender with a 3mm hex wrench, loosen the 12mm(motor sider),12mm(swing arm side) nut, and then remove the nut and remove the rear arms from suspension.

5. Adjust the replaceable rubber cartridge with desired suspension strength.

•  Rubber cartridge Replacement(5 states): Replace Cartridge

  • Loosen and remove the bolts on suspension covers with a 3mm hex wrench,then take the cover.
  • Loosen a little the two countersunk hexagon bolts on the suspension mount(It used to hold the cartridge to prevent it from shaking), and no need to remove the two bolts.
  • Install your desired suspension cartridge into the suspension mount and reassemble.

• Install both suspension arms and reassemble using screw glue (screw lock).
