Battery Gauge and
Charging Instructions
Color
Description
Green
While riding, when the battery is fully charged the gauge
light will be green.
Green (2
nd
)
This light indicates that the battery is 75% of full charge
Yellow
When power is low (around 50%) the battery gauge will turn
to yellow.
Red
When the battery is discharged the battery gauge will be
red, and the motor will be automatically cut off.
This means
that there is less than 25% charge remaining. You should
push the green button and drive slowly if you want to
maximize the distance you can travel at this time.
Charging
♦
The battery for this vehicle is a sealed, maintenance free D/C battery.
The owner must use the factory-supplied charger with an 110V (or 240V)
outlet.
♦
Turn off all switches while charging the battery. Plug one side to an
110V (or 240V) outlet and the other to charging plug on the vehicle
(located under the seat- looks like a kettle socket).
♦
The average charging time is 8 hours (90%) for the 2500W. To fully
charge battery, charging time will be 10 or 4 hours.
♦
After charging, turn the ignition to the ‘On’ position and unplug the
charger from both sides.
♦
To keep the battery in good condition, charge it after each use. Please
charge the battery fully once a month, even when the vehicle has not
been ridden.
♦
The range with silicon battery is 60kms and lithium battery is 70kms.
Battery Longevity
The driver should, if possible, charge the scooter after every trip as this will help the
battery’s life. The life of the Green saver battery is 400 deep cycles (100%
discharged), but if you charge the battery every time or when its capacity falls below
50%, the battery life will be greatly increased. Therefore we advise the rider to
charge the bike as often as possible.
