MAINTENANCE AND CARE

ATTENTION:
Your device requires regular and careful maintenance. Proceed as follows:

• Your e-scooter is not waterproof. The electronic components are protected against strong jets of water within the specified test framework in accordance with the IPX6 standard. This does not rule out the possibility of water penetrating the inside of the scooter. For this reason, it is important that the e-scooter is regularly cared for and serviced as required.
• Disconnect the e-scooter, if connected, from the charger and switch it off.
• Check your device for loose parts, damage, excessive wear and the integrity of the housing and tires. If you find any defects during the inspection, stop using the e-scooter and contact your dealer.
• Check the tire pressure regularly (at least every month).
• The recommended tire pressure varies between 2.5 and 3.0 bar depending on the rider weight. For riders weighing 50 kg or more, we recommend a tire pressure of 2.5 bar. For riders weighing 100 kg or more, we recommend a tire pressure of 3.0 bar.

PLEASE NOTE:

•  Therefore, use a damp rag for maintenance and avoid contact of water with electronic components in any case.
• Dry the device completely, before each start-up or loading.

ATTENTION:
Your device requires some rules during storage, proceed as follows:

• Charge the li-ion battery to approx. 60 % before storage.
• Store the e-scooter at a temperature between 5° C – 40° C (41° F – 104° F).
• Repeat the procedure at least every four weeks during storage and when not in use to avoid deep discharge.
• Protect your e-scooter from dust and other external influences, ideally in the stored original packaging.
• When you are not riding the scooter, store it in a covered dry and cool place. Do not park the scooter outdoors for long periods of time. Excessive sunlight as well as overheating and undercooling of the tires will accelerate their aging process and adversely affect the service life of the scooter and its battery pack.
• There is no warranty claim for damage to the li-ion battery due to improper storage or insufficient charging during storage or non-use (deep discharge).
