Inspection and Adjustment after the Wear-in Period
After buying a new motorcycle, users should pay attention to the break-in of
the new motorcycle (the break-in period is 500 miles at the beginning, and the
odometer reading is the final measure). The break-in quality of new
motorcycles directly affects the lifespan of electric motorcycles. The break-
in period is the process in which the newly purchased electric vehicle becomes
more compatible, consistent and smooth after running for a while. After the
break-in period is over, the electric vehicle should be adjusted thoroughly to
ensure the normal operation of the whole vehicle in the future and to make the
electric vehicle run faster and longer. The main adjustment items are as
follows:
1. Bearing adjustment After the break-in period, the raceway surface between
the steel ball, the shaft bowl and the shaft stop will be smoother and more
consistent under the operation of the stressed load, but the gap should be
properly adjusted. 2. Adjustment of brake system After a period of use, the
coordination of various parts of the brake system is more perfect, especially
the brake shoe and the inner diameter surface of the brake drum are more
consistent after running-in. To drive safely, the slack of the brake system
should be adjusted appropriately. 3. Fastener adjustment After the break-in
period, the bolt or nut may loosen after the vehicle is shaken and jolted, so
it must be checked and tightened in time to ensure the smooth running of the
electric vehicle.

Use and Maintenance of Charger
Chargers are a key part of electric vehicles, and the quality of chargers
affects how long the batteries last. The charger mainly consists of a
rectifier filter, a high voltage switch, a voltage converter, a constant
voltage regulator, and a charging controller.
This charger has a trickle function, which means it slowly charges the battery
to avoid overcharging. Make sure you don’t charge the battery for more than 12
hours at a time, or it will shorten the life of the charger. The charger
should be in a dry and airy place when charging; Stay away from anything that
can catch fire when charging the battery; Don’t cover the charger with
anything and allow air to flow freely while charging to prevent fire.
When charging, first plug the charger’s output plug into the socket on the
battery box, and then plug the charger into a regular power outlet. After
charging, turn off the charger first, and then unplug the output plug from the
battery box socket. Store the charger safely or put it in the glove
compartment with the vehicle.
Warning
1. Chargers must be kept away from water and moisture. Use or store them in a
dry place and don’t drop them to avoid electric shocks.
2. Don’t touch or turn on the charger while it’s charging, because it has
high voltage electricity that can shock you.
3. If the charger gets hot while charging, put it in a well-ventilated place,
and don’t charge it near anything that can burn or explode like carpets or
wood floors to prevent fire or explosion.
4. When charging, make sure the battery’s voltage and current match the
charger’s specifications, and the charger’s output plug has the same polarity
as the battery pack, otherwise you’ll damage the charger and battery.
5. If the charger’s indicator light doesn’t change color for a long time
(more than 8 hours), and it stays red, stop the charger right away and contact
CSC Motorcycles service department for a check-up.
6. If the charger breaks, let a professional fix it.
18
Use and Maintenance of Battery
The battery of this model is installed under the floor board. The battery has large capacity, small self-discharge, high energy, long service life, safety and reliability, and is an ideal power battery. Please read the instructions carefully before using the battery.
1. The lithium battery of the new motorcycle is delivered at 40 ~ 60% of the charge. If the delivery time is short, the user can directly load it for use. If the delivery time is longer (more than 2 months), users should replenish the battery before use. After 7 to 8 hours of charging, the green indicator of the charger is on, indicating that the battery is fully charged and charging can be completed.
2. The battery of the vehicle adopts the fully enclosed energy-saving design with advanced technology, so that the battery is free from maintenance, safe and environmentally friendly, the service life is significantly longer than that of the traditional battery, and the continuous mileage is greatly increased.

disconnected to avoid danger.
20
Maintenance of Drive Motor
The vehicle adopts a DC, brushless rear-wheel drive motor with an efficiency
of more than 85%, which has the advantages of strong hill-climbing
performance, fast speed, low running current, long mileage, and good skidding
effect, etc.
1. Water intake of the drive motor will cause insulation degradation. After
the motor is disassembled and drained, it can be dried by blower or sun
drying. Then the motor resistance and Hall sensor shall be tested and replaced
if damaged.
2. Inadequate battery charging will result in short continuous driving range
of electric vehicles and weak driving motor, so the battery should be kept
fully charged.
Caution There is no direct interchange between low-speed brushless motor and
high-speed brushless motor.
Inspection of wheels
1. If the tire pressure is too high, the riding comfort will be reduced and
the wear of various parts will be accelerated. If the tire pressure is too
low, the rolling resistance of the tire will be increased and the consumption
will be increased. In serious cases, local delamination of the tire will
result in tire burst.
2. When the tire valve core leaks, it should be repaired or replaced. When
the inner tube leaks, repair or replace the tire.
3. Regularly check and adjust the wheels at our special service center.

Inspection and adjustment of brake
Inspection of hydraulic brake 1. When the free stroke of the brake handle is
within the standard value range. When the travel of brake handle is not
adjusted in a normal way, it means that the wear of brake shoe has exceeded
the maintenance limit, and it is necessary to replace the brake shoe. 2. Check
the oil level of the oil storage cylinder from the observation hole. When the
oil level of the oil storage cylinder is lower than the lower limit position,
the brake oil shall be replenished to the upper limit position. Recommended
brake oil: DOT4 Standard value of free travel of brake handle: 10 mm ~ 20 mm
Caution 1. After readjusting the brake, hold the brake handle back and forth
several times by hand, then release the brake handle, rotate the wheel, and
check whether the wheel rotates freely. After adjusting the rear brake, the
rear brake light switch must be readjusted. 2. When adjusting the brake and
replacing the brake shoe, please be sure to visit our special maintenance
service station to replace the original genuine parts. 3. Regularly check and
adjust the special maintenance service of our company.

Common Fault Diagnosis and Troubleshooting Methods
I. Fault: motor does not turn. Fault causes and solutions: 1. Fault cause: the
power fuse of the finished vehicle is blown or the circuit breaker is tripped,
causing the power supply circuit to be blocked;
Solution: a. Replace safety tube; b. Reopen the air switch. 2. Fault cause:
battery voltage is too low, resulting in the controller under voltage
protection state;
Solution: charge battery. 3. Fault cause: the battery voltage is too high,
which causes the controller to be in overvoltage protection state;
Solutions: a. check the reason of high battery voltage and troubleshooting; b.
replace the battery 4. Fault cause: Speed control handle failure;
Solution: Replace the speed control handle. 5. Fault cause: brake failure
causes the controller to be in brake protection state;
Solution: check whether the brake switch and brake light are short-circuited.
If they are short-circuited, please replace the corresponding parts. 6. Fault
cause: anti-theft fault, when the whole vehicle is in anti-theft state, the
whole vehicle circuit is connected at this time, and the motor will not rotate
because the controller locks the motor against theft; Solution: unlock the
anti-theft status with the anti-theft remote control panel. 7. Fault cause:
The side bracket was not retracted or the side bracket switch was short-
circuited, causing the side bracket to be in a protected state; Solution: a.
fold up the side bracket; b. or replace the side bracket switch. 8. Fault
cause: Short circuit or open circuit in the motor phase line, resulting in
controller protection; Solution: Repair or replace the motor assembly. II.
Fault: The motor can operate normally, but the speed is too slow. 1. Fault
cause: low battery voltage; Solution: Measure the battery voltage with a
multimeter. If the voltage is too low, recharge the battery immediately.
24
2. Fault cause: In low-speed gear;
Solution: Shift to high gear.
3. Fault cause: The handle is malfunctioning, and the signal output voltage
is too low;
Solution: Check and maintain the speed regulating handle.
III. Fault: The motor can rotate by twisting the speed knob, but it stops
again after a few seconds and there are repeated failures.
Fault cause: this fault is mostly caused by low battery voltage of electric
vehicles. The battery has a floating phenomenon, that is, the battery voltage
is relatively high when no load is applied, and the battery voltage drops
sharply after the load is applied, which will be lower than the under-voltage
protection value, causing the controller to under-voltage protection and stop
the motor drive output.
Solution: Measure the battery voltage with a multimeter. If the voltage is too
low, recharge the battery immediately.
IV. Fault: The noise and current of ordinary speed riding motor are relatively
large.
1. Fault cause: The MOS tube of the controller is damaged;
Solution: Replace the controller.
2. Fault cause: The motor is damaged; Such as turn-to-turn short circuit of
the motor winding, large interference of Hall signal output, etc.
Solution: This kind of fault is difficult to be measured, detected and
processed by multimeter, so replacement method can be used to replace the new
motor to see if the problem still exists, and if the problem is solved, the
motor is faulty. 3. Fault cause: The mismatch between the controller and the
motor Hall will also cause the motor noise; Solution: Replace the controller.
V. Fault: In non-loaded condition, screw the governor handle at the place with
excessive load or large slope to start the electric vehicle. Sometimes, the
motor will have forward force, but the electric vehicle still does not move
forward. After a few seconds, the force disappears. After the handle is reset,
turn the handle again, and the phenomenon will repeatedly appear.
Fault cause: This phenomenon is often called “locked-rotor” in electric
vehicles. When starting, the load is very large, but the motor does not
rotate, so the controller will not produce commutation action. Large current
will pass through the same set of MOS tubes on the upper and lower bridges of
the controller and the same winding of the motor, which will easily burn down
the controller and the motor for a long time. In order to protect the
controller and the motor, the motor drive output must be stopped in a safe
time period, which is the “locked-rotor protection” of the controller.
Solution: In case of the above situation, it is necessary to reduce the load
of the electric vehicle or wait for the electric vehicle to restart at a place
with a small slope.
Tips: do not let low-power electric vehicles run for a long time under heavy
load (heavy load or climbing a steep slope), so as not to affect the service
life of the motor or controller.

VI. Fault: When the electric vehicle starts, sometimes it needs help. 1. Fault
cause: Controller fault;
Solution: Replace the controller. 2. Fault cause: Poor contact motor phase
line; Solution: reconnect the motor phase line. VII. Fault: In the process of
riding, the vehicle will walk for a moment and stop for a moment 1. Fault
cause: Poor contact of power cord, handle cable, motor phase cable and Hall
cable;
Solution: Check the connection of each node to ensure that the contact parts
are firmly contacted without poor contact. 2. Fault cause: Low battery
voltage;
Solution: Check the battery voltage and replenish it in time. VIII. Fault:
When the speed control handle is not reset during the whole vehicle riding,
the brake can not protect against power failure. 1. Fault cause: The brake
switch is damaged;
Solution: Test and replace the brake switch (or brake handle). 2. Fault cause:
The brake switch line is not connected or disconnected; Solution: Test the
line and eliminate the corresponding faults. 3. Fault cause: The brake input
circuit inside the controller is broken;
Solution: Replace the controller. IX. Fault: After pinching the brake in
vehicle riding, sometimes the speed regulation has no effect. Fault cause:
Brake handle fails or is damaged after being used for a long time;
Solution: Replace the brake switch. X. Fault: Short cruising range. Failure
cause analysis: The short endurance mileage is related to many factors, and
the factors related to the vehicle manufacturer: the efficiency
characteristics of the selected motor of the vehicle, the capacity and life
characteristics of the battery;
26
Other factors relevant to objective circumstances: the weight of the rider,
the road conditions of frequent riding, whether the brakes need to be used
frequently, the riding habits of the rider, and so on. 1. Reason of the motor
itself: a.Low efficiency-the amount of electric energy converted into
mechanical energy by motor is reduced, while the amount of loss used for
heating is increased. This kind of motor does not run for a long time and
generally has a high-temperature rise; b.Magnetic steel demagnetization-with
the increase of service timeit,s certain that magnetic steel demagnetization
will occur,but it is only a matter of how much.However, if the quality of the
magnetic steel itself is not good and the demagnetization performance is poor,
the magnetic steel will be easy to demagnetize, resulting in a significant
decline in motor performance, an increase in operating current and a
shortening of driving mileage.
