Fully recharge your new battery before its first time use.
The light emitting diode (LEDs) in the steering unit indicates the remaining capacity of your batteries. If
the battery charger is turned on and no LED's are lit, check the fuse. If the red LED does not illuminate
the charger is defective, consult your specialist dealer.
Recharge the batteries on a daily basis and in a well-ventilated space, not directly exposed to sunlight.
Do not charge in surroundings where it is humid or under rainfall and morning dews. If you do not do
that and you keep on driving, the output of your scooter will drop very significantly (uphills, bends, dim
headlights). If you ignore these signals too, your scooter will turn off. You should now immediately
recharge your scooter with the accompanying battery charger. Be sure that you charge the battery
fully every time.
After charging or replacing a new battery, drive the vehicle for 2-3 minutes to make sure the battery
capacity is sufficient.
The battery capacity will vary by how you drive with your scooter (repeated starting, stopping,
climbing, rough terrain, driving frequently) and will consume the capacity more quickly. In wintertime,
the battery may respond more slowly and the battery range may be reduced. Charging time will be
longer in the winter.
Kindly also observe the accompanying operating instructions.

orange) will be lit, which indicates that it is busy charging.
While charging your scooter it is not possible to run, drive
your scooter because the immovable function will be
activated.
6. Once the charging process is complete, the LED (orange)
turns green, thereby indicating that loading is complete. The
charging duration is about 6 hours. To ensure optimum
performance a 10-hour charge is recommended. But we do
not recommend a charging more than 24 consecutive hours.

Charge your scooter’s batteries strictly in accordance with the description above. If you charge
the batteries too early, they will gradually lose capacity, thus cutting your scooter’s traveling
range.
