The Bell
The escooter has a bell. The bell is on the left handlebar. Simply twist the ringer to ring it.
Lights
The headlight and tail light are useful features when you are riding at night or in dark
areas. They radically improve your safety in mixed traffic. The lights on your escooter
consume some electricity. Keeping them on may reduce the maximum distance you can
travel on one charge by about 5 %.
Riding in Wet Weather
Your escooter is designed to function in wet conditions, such as when it is raining. However,
because the motor is on the rear wheel, it is easy to slip when moving at high speeds. If
it is very wet, be sure to avoid high speeds. When you are traveling in wet weather, water
may cause your brakes to function less effectively because it reduces friction between the
brake pads and the wheels. Take care to slow down and give yourself more room to stop
or slow if necessary.
The Motor and Water
Your escooter is not designed to be immersed in water. Always ensure that the water level
does not go above the middle of the tire, to prevent water from getting inside the motor.
Water in the motor can cause short-circuits and may damage the electrical systems in
your escooter.
