Release brake lever
Slowly apply throttle (on the right) while keeping your hand near the brake lever at all
times (see note below)
Gradually apply throttle until desired speed is reached
NOTE: As an added safety feature, the City Bug scooter's micro-computer automatically cuts
off power to the motor whenever the brake is applied. The motor regains power after a short
pause. To allow for this pause, do not apply throttle immediately after applying the brake.
Battery System and Charger.
Only use the battery charging unit that was supplied with your City Bug electric scooter. Use
of any other battery charging unit or equipment voids your warranty and may result in severe
damage to the battery and scooter, and may cause a fire hazard. The battery can be
recharged either while in the City Bug electric scooter's battery compartment or when
removed. To recharge the battery:
Connect the battery charger lead to the charging unit (see Battery Overview, page
10)
Make sure the voltage switch on the charging unit is set to the appropriate voltage
and plug the battery charging unit into a wall socket. (See figure on right. In the
United States and Canada, you will need 115V. In Europe and other countries, you
will need 230V or higher.)
Turn the charging unit power switch to the ”on“ position.
Light Indications
The green light indicates the power is on. The steady red light indicates charging. The
flashing red light indicates fully charged.
Please Note:
The battery system utilizes a fuse. A spare fuse is included in the battery compartment. The
battery will be fully charged after five hours. This will be indicated when the red light on the
recharging unit starts flashing.
Once the battery is fully charged, it will automatically start to drain the charge.
Over time, after repeated charging, the scooter battery will fully charge to lower levels. This is
normal for a lead acid battery. If you notice your City Bug scooter battery is not holding a
charge, you may need to purchase a new battery for your City Bug scooter.
Basic Maintenance.
With proper care and maintenance the City Bug electric scooter has been engineered to
provide years of trouble-free riding enjoyment.
We recommend occasional inspection of the seat tube latch to ensure it is free of dirt and
debris. If the mechanism seems stiff, apply a few drops of oil to the springs in the latch
release and the latch release button.
