The best way to transport your scooter fully assembled in the car is to drive the scooter in the car by
using ramps.
When you are not experienced to drive the scooter by using of ramps you can also put the scooter in
neutral mode and push the scooter in the car by using ramps.
Attach the frame of the scooter securely to the vehicle.
When the scooter does not fit in the car it is also possible to transport the scooter by the following
steps:
1. Remove all loose parts prior to transporting (seat + backrest, battery housing, shopping
basket, rear frame from front frame).
2. Store loose parts safely.
3. Fold the steering column down with the angle adjustment.
4. Place the separate parts in the car and attach them securely to the vehicle if necessary.

2.13 Automatic Power shut down

In order to avoid accidental battery run down, your scooter is equipped with an automatic power shut
down facility. If the scooter is switched on, after remaining undisturbed for a period of ten minutes it
will automatically turn off (you hear a warning sound, the red LED is not lit and your scooter is not
reacting). Should this occur, simply switch your scooter off and back on and it will be ready to use
once again.

2.14 Charging the batteries

L
WARNING:
Risk of injury - Take out the key before you start charging.
L
WARNING:
Risk of fire - Keep away from flammable objects while charging as it may
lead to fire of battery.
L
WARNING:
Risk of electrical shock - Never connect or disconnect the plug or cable with
wet hands while charging.
Fully recharge your new battery before its first time use.
The light emitting diode (LEDs) in the steering column 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) and will consume the capacity more quickly. In wintertime, the battery may
respond more slowly and the battery range may be reduced.
