Safe operation
Warning
Danger of accidents
A lack of physical and mental readiness on the part of the child poses a major risk.
Children often underestimate or fail to recognize dangerous situations.
–
Your child must already be able to ride a bicycle.
–
Your child must be able to put the vehicle upright independently after a fall.
–
Your child must understand that regulations and instructions from you or from other guardians must be fol-
lowed.
–
Make it clear to your child that he or she should not, under any circumstances, operate the vehicle without
supervision.
–
Make sure that the ride mode is appropriate for your child's riding ability and for the riding conditions.
If necessary, block the ride mode by removing the magnetic switch under the seat.
–
Do not ask too much of your child.
Do not consider participation in competitive activities until your child's stamina, riding techniques and motiva-
tion are at the necessary levels.
–
Only let your child ride on the vehicle if he or she is physically and mentally ready.
Warning
Danger of burns
Some vehicle components become very hot when the vehicle is operated.
–
Do not touch any parts such as the motor, lithium-ion battery, damper, or brake system before these vehicle
parts have cooled down.
–
Let the vehicle parts cool down before you perform any work on the vehicle.
This vehicle is a low-voltage electric motorcycle. For this reason, follow the safety and care instructions that apply when
using an electric motor.
If the throttle grip is closed and no recuperation (
p. 25) is activated, the vehicle continues to roll without much delay.
The vehicle speed decreases on account of rolling resistance and air resistance.
Because this vehicle does not have a manual transmission, there is no clutch.
As with a conventional drive with a combustion engine, the operating temperature rises according to use and depending
on the ambient temperature and the cleanliness of the cooling surfaces. If the temperature of the motor, the lithium-ion
battery, or the electronics rises above the permissible operating temperature, the power of the vehicle will be reduced con-
siderably. This protects the system against damage from overheating. When power reduction is imminent, the active driving
mode indicator flashes. When power reduction is active, all three driving mode indicators light up. When all components
have returned to their normal operating temperature, full system power is restored after restarting.
Only operate the vehicle when it is in perfect technical condition, in accordance with its intended use, and in a safe and
environmentally compatible manner.
Have malfunctions that impair safety promptly eliminated by an authorized GASGAS Motorcycles workshop.
Adhere to the information and warning labels on the vehicle.
2.7
Fall or accident
If the vehicle is lying on its side, it switches from ready mode to standby mode after five seconds. To return the vehicle to
ready mode, place the vehicle in the upright position and close the throttle grip beyond the basic position.
After a fall or accident, check the vehicle as usual when preparing for use.
