Charging time Normal charging
Charging time varies depending on the
riding conditions before charging, re-
maining battery level, and ambient tem-
perature. It takes approximately seven
hours to charge the battery from a 0%
charged level in the optimum ambient
temperature range of 15 C – 25 C.TIPWhen the charging process is complet-
ed, the power from the built-in batterycharger is cut off automatically.
Waiting mode for charging
The vehicle enters a waiting mode if the temperature is not suitable for charging
as follows:

The battery may be above the
maximum 50
C immediately after
riding. In this case, the charger en-
ters a waiting mode and “HEAT”
flashes until the battery and bat-
tery charger reach the specified
temperature.

If ambient temperature is below –5
 C, “COOL” flashes until the bat-
tery and battery charger reach the
specified temperature.
When the temperature is suitable for
charging, charging starts automatically.

Braking
WARNING
EWA10300

Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over to
one side), otherwise the scooter
may skid or overturn.

Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road con-
struction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
down when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
tion.

Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.

Ride slowly down a hill, as brak-
ing downhill can be very diffi-cult.
1. Close the accelerator grip com- pletely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure. Front
