4.3.3 Turn Off the Motor
●
Stop Smartscooter® completely.
●
Press and hold the brake, and press the
”Start Button” to turn off the motor, then the
dashboard will not show the speed, and the throttle will not work.
●
You can also turn off the motor by expanding the side stand.
●
For mechanical key models, if you turn the key to “OFF” position, both the motor and the system
power will be off.
Only when Smartscooter® is fully stopped can you turn the motor on. If the motor cuts off
accidentally on the road due to some kind of error or malfunction, please carefully slide or push
the Smartscooter® to the roadside or a safe place, do not attempt to turn on the motor on the
road to be safe.
When Smartscooter® is moving, if the side stand is expanded, it will cut the motor off when the
speed drops to below 5 km/h. Even so, do not expand the side stand while on the move to
avoid unexpected danger.
You can turn on the “Safety Notification” with Gogoro® App.
When the Smartscooter® is stopped for a while but the motor is left on, it will play a notification
sound to remind you to turn the motor off, to reduce the risk that you accidentally touch the
throttle and cause danger.
For mechanical key models, when the battery is very low and the motor is off for 3 minutes
without any user operation, the system will be off automatically. You have to turn the key to
“OFF”, then turn it back to “ON”, to turn the system power on again.
For keyless models, when the motor is off for a period of time and no user operation, the
system power will be off automatically (default is 3 minutes, specific models can adjust the
length by using “Auto Lock” function in Gogoro® App).
Specific models will not automatically turn off the motor when the main stand is expanded, so
please do not forget to check whether the motor is turned off when you park the scooter.
