Fz, S1 Fonzarelli Electric Scooter
Welcome to the Fonzarellis
Welcome to the Fonzarelli community – you’ve just taken a positive step in
reducing your carbon footprint!
Your Fonz is the perfect commuter vehicle. An agile, streamlined body allows
you to easily negotiate traffic and park almost anywhere.
The responsive and powerful digitally-controlled powertrain can be optimised
to suit your style. Your dynamic ride customisations, can include regenerative
braking to improve efficiency, Forza and PowerPack configuration.
Not unlike your laptop or mobile phone, recharging your Fonz is suited to
charging in the evening. So you’ll probably benefit from off-peak rates.
Now its time to get to know your electric dream!
What is Lithium Ion?
The PowerPack in your Fonzarelli utilises the highest quality Lithium Ion
Technology; the forefront of rechargeable cell technology, with superior
reliability, recharging time, and power to weight ratio.
The PowerPack does not develop “charge memory”, so you can recharge as
frequently as it is convenient to do so.
Lithium Ion is an environmentally sustainable technology, and does not use
heavy metals like mercury or cadmium found in other batteries.
Important notice
The Fonzarelli is rated to carry the operator and up to one passenger.
Combined weight of rider, passenger, accessories and cargo must never exceed
maximum rated load capacity of 150kg. Minimising load will improve
performance.
The Fonzarelli is designed to travel on sealed roads only.
Personal injury or mechanical damage may result if you do not operate the
Fonzarelli in accordance with the guidelines of this document.
This symbol indicates that severe personal injury or damage to equipment may
result if instructions are not followed.
Unless specified, ‘Fonzarelli’ refers to the LA Fonzarelli 100 moped ‘Fz
moped’, LC Fonzarelli 125 Fz and S1 motorcycle categories.

Riding
Pre-Ride inspection
A pre-ride inspection will only take a few minutes, and should be conducted
every day before you ride your Fonzarelli.
-
PowerPack – ensure the PowerPack is correctly fitted, and cables correctly attached.
Check charge level is sufficient for distance of travel. -
Brakes – check for correct operation; make sure there is no fluid leakage.
-
Tyres – check condition and pressure.
-
Lights and Indicators – check for correct operation.
-
Throttle – check for correct and smooth operation.
Resolve any problems before you ride. Contact an authorised Fonzarelli
representative if you cannot correct the problem.
Warning! If the pre-ride inspection is not conducted before using the
Fonzarelli, damage to equipment or severe injury could result.
Starting procedure
- Insert the key and turn clockwise to the ON position.
- Mount the scooter, and move side-stand to stowed position.
- Ensure the kill-switch is in the RUN position.
- Ensure the kick stand is UP and all warning lights are extinguished
- Your scooter is now ready to ride.
Review safety before you ride
After completing the starting procedure, your Fonzarelli is ready for riding.
- Slowly and smoothly open the throttle to accelerate.
- Close throttle to coast; momentum will continue to carry you forward.
Braking
- For slow braking under normal conditions, close throttle and smoothly apply pressure to both front and rear brake control levers.
- For maximum braking, close throttle and apply firm pressure to both front and rear brake control levers. Ensure that you shift your body weight to a stable position and brace against the force of deceleration to maintain control of the scooter.
Independent use of the front or rear brake reduces performance and control
when stopping. Always use both front and rear brakes together. If one wheel
begins to lock or slip, reducing pressure to the corresponding brake control
lever will correct the action, and maximise control when stopping. This will
become more intuitive with experience.
Always brake before entering a turn, as firm application of brakes mid-turn
will result in loss of control. When braking in wet conditions or on loose
surfaces, all braking manoeuvres must be smooth, as sudden application of
brakes will result in loss of control.
RUNNING IN
Brake pads needs to be run in during the first 100kms
Forza, Reverse, Regeneration
Forza
Forza is a power and speed boost function intended to be used in situations
where additional motor torque or speed is required; for example, traversing a
steep incline or riding over a high-speed overpass.
- Press and hold the BLUE Forza button for a second.
- Release button to engage boost for 10 seconds
Repetitive, continued use of the Forza button will drain the PowerPack pack and impact life cycles.
Reverse & Parking
- After coming to a complete stop, hold down the GREEN reverse button.
- While holding reverse, slowly open the throttle.
- The scooter will travel in reverse at a slow pace.
TIP: Reverse will only engage after brake has been applied
Regenerative braking
Regenerative braking is engaged automatically when rear braking applied,
improving efficiency by returning energy to the
PowerPack that would otherwise be wasted.
Dynamic regeneration
Dynamic regeneration can be adjusted from Zero to 10, allowing from maximum
control when the throttle is released, by automatically slowing the vehicle
and returning energy to the PowerPack, to a completely free-wheeling, coasting
sensation when releasing the throttle.
Settings are tailored to your riding style and experience level by an
authorised FonzLab technician.
Storage & load
Combined weight of rider, passenger, accessories and cargo must never exceed
the maximum rated load capacity of 150kg.
To improve stability when carrying cargo, try to position much of the weight
low near the scooter’s centre of gravity.
Never attach heavy items directly to the scooter’s handlebars, as handling and
steering response will be significantly impeded.
TIP: Weight distribution is an important factor in the stability and
control of a scooter. Take extreme care when adding accessories or cargo to
the scooter, as this can impair the performance of the vehicle.
Pillion passenger
The Fonzarelli 125* is licensed to seat one operator and one pillion
passenger.
PowerPack will discharge more quickly while carrying a pillion passenger, due
to additional load.
Ensure that the pillion passenger:
- Hold the pillion passenger grips.
- Place feet on pillion footrest.
- Lean into corners with the operator.
Accessories
All genuine Fonzarelli accessories are designed and tested to ensure that each
is fit for use.
Fonzarelli Bikes cannot be held liable for incompatibility, or damages
incurred by the use of non-Fonzarelli accessories.
- Note: In general, Australian & New Zealand states whereby the Fonzarelli 100 can be operated under a driver licence only, the operator cannot carry a pillion.
Laws vary by region. Be sure to check with your local state on pillion passenger rules.
Specifications
- Range & Performance is determined by various factors such as software configuration, load weight, SOC speed, rider behaviour, terrain, lifecycle and air temperature. See ‘Range & Performance’ in the Rider Manual
** Speed refers to cruising speed and top speed in Forza mode. Speed is also determined by the determinants of Range & Performance. Disclaimer: All information in this publication is based on the latest product information available at the time of the last version release.
Fonzarelli Bikes reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain appearance, and prevent paint and corrosion damage to the
Fonzarelli, regularly:
- Wash with a diluted solution of car wash soap.
- Rinse with clean water, ensuring water does not enter the PowerPack compartment.
- Dry with a microfibre cloth.
- Polish with a wax based spray protectant, and buff with a microfibre cloth.
Warning! Do not allow water to enter PowerPack compartment. If cleaning
PowerPack, attach terminal covers, and wipe with a damp cloth.
Do not use hydrocarbon based cleaning products, as paint damage will result.
TIP: Regularly rinse chrome, stainless and aluminium components with
fresh water, particularly if you live in coastal areas. If surface rust
appears, clean immediately with rust remover. Wipe switches with damp cloth.
Tyres
Standard tyres for the Fonzarelli are 10-3.50 tubeless.
Inflation pressure should be checked on cold tyres 20˚C periodically.
Correct pressure is 28PSI Front, 32PSI Rear (240 kPa). Riding with a pillion
or heavy load we recommend 30PSI front, 35 PSI rear
Warning! Improper inflation will lead to premature wear of tyres, and can
cause reduction of stability, traction and range.
Brakes
The Fonzarelli has front and rear hydraulic disc brakes.
Normal wear of the brake pads will result in a drop in level of the brake
fluid reservoir.
Brake pad wear and fluid levels must be checked periodically; replenish as
necessary.
Warning: brake fluid is corrosive, and may cause irritation. Avoid
contact with skin or eyes.
In case of contact, flush thoroughly with clean water. Call doctor if eyes
were exposed.
Brake system must be frequently inspected to ensure there are no fluid leaks.
If brake control lever free play becomes excessive, and brake pads are not
worn, air may have entered the hydraulic lines, and the hydraulic lines must
be bled. See an authorised Fonzarelli technician.
How to check and replace brake fluid
Brake fluid reservoirs are located on the handlebar. Front brake is on the
right, and back brake on the left. The procedure for replacing brake fluid is
identical for both front and rear brakes.
- Put the bike on its centre stand for stability.
- Check the fluid level through the Brake Fluid viewing window.
- An authorised repairer must replace the brake fluid.

PowerPack storage
Storing the PowerPack for extended periods (i.e.; longer than two months) can
result in some loss of capacity.
Storing the PowerPack in ideal conditions will obtain optimum safety and
minimise the effect of capacity loss:
- Store the PowerPack in a cool, dry place ~15°C.
- Charge the PowerPack to 80% before storage.
- Periodically check PowerPack charge level and charge back to 80% (every few months).
Warning! Storing Lithium Ion cells at 0% SOC for extended periods of time
will result in destruction of the PowerPack due to internal shorting.
Operating temperature
0 to 45°C
Warning! If air temperature is 38˚C or above and/or high humidity, allow
the system to rest for up to three hours prior to charging.
Long-term storage
If the PowerPack is kept stored for a long time (3 months or more), it is
strongly recommended that the cell is preserved at dry and low-temperature.
If you do not ride for an extended time (i.e. such as during winter) we
recommend to repeat the PowerPack running in procedure for 2-3 cycles (see
page 4 of manual)
Warning! the pack must not be stored below 60%.
Optimal storage is 60-80% SOC
STORAGE: store PowerPack at 80%
WEATHER: During extremely hot temperature, after riding, allow 1 to 2
hours before recharging your PowerPack. In these conditions its best to remove
the PowerPack from your Fonzarelli during charging.
Any problems caused by malfunction of the PowerPack due to unsuitable use and
care of PowerPack Cells are not covered under warranty. The handling
conditions described above must be followed or the warranty will be voided.
Range & performance
Your range results are a direct reflection of your riding habits.
The more conservative you ride, the better range you can expect from your
Fonzarelli scooter.
Key factors that will affect range include speed, acceleration, number of
starts / stops, load weight, air temperature and terrain.
Ride conservatively when you first get your Fonzarelli and adjust your riding
style to reflect what you want out of your ride.
