The Electric Vehicle Code of Rider Conduct
Common-sense code
- In the interests of harmonious co-existence with other road users, MOTORINO suggests the following common-sense code of conduct be followed in addition to any formal rules of the road:
- Always assume you are invisible to all other road users, regardless of the lights and reflectors you may have. Your life depends on it.
- Share the road or path with others: motorists, pedestrians and cyclists alike. Respect their rights and try to be forgiving if they infringe on yours. Remember, your Electric
- The vehicle is probably the largest vehicle on the bicycle path but the smallest vehicle on the road.
- Ride defensively. You, and only you, are responsible for the safe operation of your vehicle.
- Constantly scan from nearby to well ahead of where you are so you may anticipate, and be ready to avoid road surface hazards as well as other vehicles. Such hazards include:
- Vehicles slowing or turning in front of you, entering the road ahead, or coming up behind you.
- Car doors open in front of you.
- Pedestrians stepping out in front of you.
- Children or dogs playing near the road.
- Potholes, sewer gratings, railroad tracks, expansion joints, road or sidewalk construction, debris and other road hazards could cause you to swerve, catch a wheel, lose traction, or otherwise have a crash.
- Always signal when turning and stopping.
- Ride in a calm, smooth, predictable manner. Don’t weave through traffic or make sudden moves that may startle, provoke, or require evasive action from other road users or pedestrians.
- Never hitch a ride by holding on to another vehicle.
Pre-Operation Checks
WARNING!
Failure to perform checks regularly could result in unsafe and/or unreliable
vehicle condition leading to serious injury or death and/or damage to the
vehicle and/or denial of warranty coverage.
Before Every Ride
Charge batteries
- Walk-around inspection. Make sure all parts are securely fastened.
- Check tyre pressure and condition.
- Check brake operation front and rear; make sure there is no leakage of brake fluid.
- Check for smooth throttle grip operation.
- Check signals, lights, and horns.
- Ensure the wheels spin freely and are well aligned.
- Only turn the ignition on once you are seated and ready to ride.
After Every Ride
- Be sure the ignition is turned off.
- Plug the charger in and check for twin red lights and fan (page 14).
- Be sure the charger will stay dry during operation.
- If stored outside, cover the bike and arm the alarm.
Charging
- WARNING! DO NOT plug the AC power cable directly into the charging socket on the bike.
- WARNING! Risk of overheating. Maintain air flow around the charger at all times. DO NOT enclose it in a storage compartment or other unventilated space when charging.
- The charger is designed for indoor, dry-area use only.
- WARNING! DO NOT expose the charger to water.
- If necessary, you could place the charger on the floorboard and drape the bike with its cover allowing for sufficient ventilation. You do so at your own risk.
Connecting the Charger
- Make sure the bike’s circuit breaker is ON.
- To charge the battery pack, the bike’s main circuit breaker must be ON. If the breaker is off, the charger will only seem like it is charging the battery.
Understanding The Charger’s Indicator Lights
- The supplied Electric Vehicle charger is fully automatic and has two indica¬tors lights to tell you what is happening. One red LED indicates that it is connected to power, while the second LED changes between red, to indicate “charging” and green, to indicate “full”.
Normal charger/indicator behaviour is as follows:
- When the charger is connected to AC power but not plugged into the bike’s charge socket, you will see 1 red and 1 green light.
- When the charger is then connected to a bike that needs charging, it will enter the “bulk-charge” mode and both lights will appear red and the fan will run.
- When a full charge is reached, it goes into “float mode” and the lights will return to 1 r d and 1 green.
- NOTE: Because the un-connected indicator state matches the fully charged state, always verify that charging has begun by looking for the 2 red lights and listening for the fan. If you are not sure if the bike even needs charging, just ride the bike for a bit or rev the motor (with the bike on the main stand and rear wheel in the air) to make it start the charge cycle.
- NOTE: If you should happen to connect the charger only to the bike but not to AC power, only one red LED will light. This light is being powered by the battery pack and will only help drain it, so don’t leave your charger plugged into the bike when not also connected to AC power.
Approximate Charging Times
Time to fully charge an empty pack:
- 20 A-h lead-acid pack: 6~8hrs.
Assembly Instructions
Your assembly may come in three different ways:
- a) 95% assembled-you only need to install the mirrors and the cargo box.
- b) 90% assembled-you need to install (a) plus front wheel.
- c) 85% assembled-you need to install (b) plus handlebar and some plastic elements. All instructions for (a) (b) (c)are described below with supporting pictures.
Handle Bar
- Insert the top part of the handlebar into the handlebar post.
- Locate the attachment bolt with the nut and the spacer and insert the bolt in the hole from back to front. Slide the spacer into the bolt with the round side facing the handlebar post. Screw the nut on the top and tighten it. After attaching, the handlebar should look balanced.
Front Panel
Locate the front panel and connect the headlight wire plug to the
correspondent plug at the front of the bike. Insert the plastic fins of the
front panel at the corresponding channels of the base and slide it upwards
screw holes in the cover and Screw them onto the front cover.
Instruments
Whether analog or digital, all Electric vehicles have gauges that tell you the same basic information. A speedometer, an odometer, and a voltmeter which is the EV equivalent of a gas gauge (but not quite).
Volt Gauge
The battery pack voltage gauge, on the other hand, needs some interpretation
to gain useful information about how much power you have left. Much of this
interpretation will be obvious after some time in the saddle, but here are a
few points to keep in mind.
Indicator Lights
- In addition to the gauges, there are lights to inform the rider of turn signal operation, headlight high beam operation, and on some models, additional warnings for low battery.
- YOUR INSURANCE POLICIES MAY NOT PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR ACCIDENTS INVOLVING THE USE OF THE E-SCOOTER. TO DETERMINE IF COVERAGE IS PROVIDED. YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR INSURANCE.
