*The maximum range figure indicates the approximate range that can be achieved under absolutely ideal conditions (fiat terrain, constant speed – no full power, no wind, correct tyre pressure, driver weight <70 kg, no payload, ambient temperature 20 °C). In practice, the range is largely infiuenced by the weight of the rider or other load, the height gradient to be overcome when riding, weather conditions, road conditions, driving style, frequency of starts (e.g. at junctions), tyre condition (especially infiation), battery wear and many other factors. In extreme conditions, the range can be reduced to less than 50% of the claimed value.

**Maximum designed speed is 25 km/h. The scooter has been tested (on a closed course, with modified controller settings) at speeds up to 55 km/h.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The battery is the most important part of the scooter. Electric scooters are equipped with lithium-ion cells.

Unlike lead acid batteries, these batteries are able to provide better functionality and longer life. They are lightweight and have high performance. However, these batteries also have a life cycle. In order to maximise their lifespan, it is important to take care of the batteries regularly.

• Only use the original charger from the manufacturer supplied with the scooter to charge the battery.

• If the battery indicator shows a low battery, connect the scooter to the charger.

• Always make sure the charging port is clean and dry before charging. If the charger is not connected to the scooter, the power input must always be covered with the rubber cap to prevent dust or other debris from entering the input.

• Connect the power cord to the charger and then plug the charger into a wall outlet, making sure the light on the charger is GREEN.

• Insert the charger tip into the charging input on the scooter. The charger light should turn RED – charging.
  When the light turns GREEN, the scooter is fully charged. The time to full charge is approximately 6-8 hours.

• After charging the scooter, disconnect the charger from the power socket and the power cord from the scooter.

• Do not leave the scooter connected to the charger longer than necessary to fully charge.

!ATTENTION!

• Only use the charger supplied with the battery.

• Never cover the charger.

• If the charger or any part of it is damaged, it must be replaced with a new one. Never use such a charger.
  There is a risk of electric shock. Contact your dealer, the manufacturer of the equipment or an authorised service centre for replacement.

• NEVER use the scooter while it is connected to a charger.

• Charge the battery in a dry place at room temperature between 5 °C and 40 °C.

• The battery and/or charger might get warm whilst charging and does not indicate a fault.

• Do not recharge for longer than necessary.

• The scooter must always be charged under constant supervision!

Charging procedure

1. Switch off the scooter before charging.
2. Remove the rubber cap of the charging socket on the right side (1 ).
3. Connect the charger (2).
4. Insert the charger mains plug into the socket.
5. If the charger light is red, the battery is charging.
6. When charging is complete, the indicator light on the charger will turn green.
