7 MAINTENANCE
Storage and cleaning
If your Electric scooter gets dirty,please clean it with a damp cloth.(you can use as tiff brush first to get the worst dirt off and then use a cloth
afterwards to clean it.). It is also possible to use a little tooth paste if the dirt is stuck. Remember to clean with damp cloth after this. Please make
sure to keep the electric scooter turned off while cleaning it,and make sure to cover the charging input to avoid problems with the electronics.
Please notice:
Do not use alcohol, gas, kerosene or other corrosive and volatile chemical solvents. This can damage both the appearance and
the internal structure of the electric scooter. You may not use pressured water-gun or running water either. Please store your Electric scooter in
a dry and cool environment when not in use. Avoid leaving it outdoors, as it is not made for use in wet areas. Nor is it good to expose to high
temperatures caused by direct sun for a long time.
Maintenance of batteries
Please make sure the batteries do not get over 50°Celsius,or minus10°Celsius for alonger period of time.(e.g don’t leave the electric scooter in a hot
car in summer, do not put batteries into fire etc.) Low temperature (e.g.sub zero temperature) can damage the battery cells.
Keep the Electric scooter away from open flame or other sources of heat to prevent the battery from getting too hot. Also make sure not to
leave the electric scooter at freezing temperatures. Both heat and excessive cold can cause the battery to discharge. Please avoid draining the
batteries100%. It is best to charge them while there is still power on them. This will extend battery life. Also if riding the electric scooter in cold or
very hot areas, the battery time can be lower than when riding in temperatures from
15-25°Celsius. This is not a failure on the batteries, but normal behavior. Do not over charge and discharge the battery. Make sure that the battery
is charged at regular intervals, even if you do not use the electric scooter for a long time. This is to prevent damage to the battery caused by low
voltage over an extended period.
Please notice:
Even fully charged batteries will run out of power if the electric scooter is not used for a period of time. Expect between 90 and
120 days in off mode if batteries are fully discharged. If only partially charged, this period of time is lower. Please make sure to charge the batteries
before they are100% out of power, to avoid damaging the battery cells. (damaged battery caused by wrong handling are not covered by the
warranty) It is forbidden to disassemble battery package. This is only to be handled by official service repair centers and professionals
Maintaining bearings
The electric scooter has sealed and dustproof bearings so that no lubrication is required. Check the bearings for wear at regular intervals to avoid
unsafe riding. Do not jump on and off and do not apply excessive force otherwise to avoid damage to the bearings. This is not a sports electric
scooter.
are detected, please contact your retailer for product service and warranty. Do not repair the electric scooter by yourself.
Inspect the rear tire, rear brake and brake pad according to Section 7 of the maintenance specification in this operating instructions. The electric
scooter may be come unstable if the rear brake is deformed or loose. This is because the distance between the brake pad and the rear wheel
becomes too small. Possibly leading to a blocked rear wheel.
Avoid applying too much force or stepping on the rear fender permanently. This may cause the fender to loose nor damage the spring holding the
fender. As a result, the brake pad constantly touches the wheel and the motor temperature increases due to the additional resistance. The rear tire
can also get loose if the brake is inconstant braking position.
Avoid constant braking. As a result, the tires will not only wear off, but also become hot. This will soften the rubber and will no longer have the same
grip on the road as usual. Do not touch the tire after braking. If you hear unusual noises or notice friction when switching on the electric scooters, a
bearing maybe damaged. A worn bearing may even be indicated by strong vibration of the handle bar. In this case, please contact your retailer since
the bearing needs to be replaced and/or handled bar checked and adjusted.
Ride the electric scooter only on a dry surface since otherwise the riding safety and braking performance may be impaired and the motor or
bearings may be damaged.
Please do not ride up or down long and steep slopes.
Stop riding when you receive the „Low Battery Warning”. The electric scooter then moves only slowly and does not have the same traction as normal
and the electric brake does not work. In this case, please use the rear brake to stop the electric scooter. Get off the Electric scooter as soon as the
speed allows to do that safely.
Do not use the electric brake and the throttle at the same time.
A normally working Electric scooter operates safely and quietly. If you hear noises or notice bumpy operation, please check wheels, bearings, and
brakes.Contact your customer service for repair and maintenance, If necessary.
