Riding with ePOWER
Less perceptibility of elec-
tric propulsion.
When you use electric propul-
sion, you must always bear in
mind that the absence of engine
noise means that pedestrians
and other road users might not
be aware of your approach on
your E-Scooter. Exercise special
care and attention when riding.
Energy recovery by
deceleration
The high-voltage battery unit is
partly recharged by energy re-
covery. When the vehicle decel-
erates the electrical machine acts
as a generator, converting kinetic
energy to electricity.
Deceleration depends on the rid-
ing mode you select, and on the
position of the electronic throttle
twistgrip. The less you twist
the electronic throttle twistgrip,
the sharper the vehicle deceler-
ates. Energy is recovered and
the high-voltage battery unit re-
charges. Deceleration with the
electronic throttle twistgrip in the
closed position is similar to light
braking.
Energy can be recovered when
the following conditions are satis-
fied:
E-Scooter is on the move.
Speed is higher than approxim-
ately 5 km/h.
Energy cannot be recovered in
the following situations:
The high-voltage battery unit is
fully charged.
The high-voltage battery unit
is at a very high or very low
temperature. In winter or sum-
mer there is a possibility of en-
ergy recovery being temporarily
unavailable just after you pull
away.
Always be prepared to
brake.
Without energy recovery there is
no braking effect from the elec-
tric drive. The E-Scooter could
coast further than usual. This
could put other road users at
risk.
Riding situations for deceler-
ation
Whenever you know that you
are about to decelerate as you
ride, you can make use of the
deceleration phase for energy re-
covery. The following are typical
riding situations suitable for use
for this purpose:
Deceleration on a downgrade
Deceleration approaching a red
traffic light
Avoid late or sharp braking. In-
stead, make use of the energy
recovery function to slow the
vehicle.
