CAUTION
Cleaning
Cleaning the electrically power assisted cycle is not only a matter of decorum, but also allows any defects to be detected
immediately.
The battery must be detached and removed in order to wash the bike, preferably using a sponge and/or a soft cloth and
water, with the possible addition of a specific neutral detergent and taking particular care when handling the electronic parts.
It is strictly forbidden to aim pressurised water jets at the various electrical parts, the motor, display and battery. After washing,
it is important to dry all the washed components, as well as the frame and the braking surfaces of the rims, with a second soft
cloth and/or dry everything completely with low pressure compressed air and check that there is no residual moisture on the
electrical components.
If there are stains on the body of the scooter, wipe with a damp cloth. If the stains persist, apply neutral soap, brush out with a
toothbrush, then wipe with a damp cloth.
Do not clean the items with alcohol, petrol, paraffin or other corrosive or volatile chemical solvents to prevent severe damage.
DANGER
All the cleaning operations of the electrically power assisted cycle must be performed with the battery removed.
Water seeping into the battery may cause damage to internal circuits and risk of fire or explosion. Should you suspect that
water may have entered the battery, stop using the battery immediately and return it to your dealer’s after-sales service for
checking.
Preservation and storage
If the electrically power assisted cycle needs to be stored and will not be used for extended periods of time, it must be kept in
a dry, cool, closed space, that is ventilated if possible. The following operations should also be carried out:
• Carry out a general cleaning of the electrically power assisted cycle.
• Remove the battery supplied with the electrically power assisted cycle from its seat and, after disabling it using the
relevant key or switch (if present), store it in a dry place, away from flammable materials (e.g. materials that could catch
fire), preferably at an internal temperature of 15-25°C, never lower than 0°C or higher than + 45°C. Periodically charge the
battery to prevent the voltage level from dropping excessively, causing the risk of damage and loss of efficiency.
• Protect exposed electrical contacts with antioxidant products.
• Grease all surfaces not protected by anti-corrosion paints or treatments.
CAUTION
Do not keep or store the bike outdoors or inside a vehicle for a prolonged period of time. Excessive sunlight, overheating,
and excessive cold accelerate tyre ageing and jeopardize the life of both the item and the battery. Do not expose it to rain or
water or immerse it in water to wash it.
Lifting
The weight of the electrically power assisted cycle means it must be lifted by two adults taking extra care to avoid the risk of
personal harm (crushing and injury) or damage to property (knocks and impacts).
DANGER
Transportation
To ensure the safe transportation of the electrically power assisted cycle inside or outside the vehicle used for transportation
(e.g. bicycle rack), remove the battery and any accessories and ensure that the bike is properly secured (with straps or cables)
and hooking devices in good condition and installed so the frame, cables and other parts of the product are not damaged.
It is the user’s responsibility to ascertain the suitability of the equipment used to transport the bike by fitting and installing
devices (e.g. bike racks) in accordance with the legal requirements of the country in which it is ridden.
CAUTION
The manufacturer is not liable for any breakages caused by lifting and/or transporting the electrically power assisted cycle
after delivery.
