On the left side of the bike is a key access to open the compartment under the seat.
Push down on the seat while turning the lock. Do not let the seat fly up or it may cause
damage.
SHUTDOWN WHILE KEY IS ON
The controller of the ZEV has several protection features to prevent abuse or damage.
1) If you set the bike with the key and power in the armed position it will shut off after 5
minutes of no driving on some models.
2) You can trick the bike into shutting down by toggling the kill switch while driving.
Turning it back on will do nothing. The bike will have to be stopped, the key turned off
and then back on.
3) A very slow small throttle opening and an immediate rollback may result in the
controller shutdown. The controller sees this as if the bike is against a wall and unable
to move. When you decide to drive, give the bike throttle and hold it steady.
In all cases, if a shut down occurs, simply turning the key off, then back on again will
reset the controller.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Periodically test your brakes in a hard stop.
As your brake pads wear the travel lever will change. When the pads become worn
replace them.
Two times each year, check all battery and main power connections for loosening.
Oil the pivot point on the rear suspension every month (steady riding assumed).
Regular motor oil works fine. Motorcycle chain lube is sticky and does not drip like the
oil may. Only a drop or two on each side of each bushing is needed.
