Area Component Checks and remedies
Motor, gear, brake
(transaxle).
Power consumption. Power consumption on a level road with
3.5 bar pressure in the tyres and 75
– 100 kg on the seat is:
125 – 10 km/h: 12 – 15 A
125 – 13 km/h: 14 – 16 A
130 – 15 km/h: 17 – 20 A
Use a clip-on ammeter on one of the
battery cables to measure this.
Brake and brake release.
Check function and check that
it prevents the scooter from
moving.
It should not be possible to push the
scooter when the brake release lever is
pushed back.
When the brake release lever is pushed
forwards it should be possible to push
the scooter, but it should not be possible
to drive it. The battery indicator should
indicate defect 9 when the throttle is
turned.
If the release lever is pushed backwards
it should be possible to drive the scooter
again. NB: the scooter must be switched
off and on again fi rst.
The brake should be capable of holding
the scooter on a 15º slope = 26% with
75 – 100 kg on the seat. If it cannot the
brake may be defective and must be
replaced.
Braking distance.
Check that the scooter can
brake as follows when the
throttle is released at full
speed on a fi rm, non-slip sur-
face (asphalt).
Speed of scooter / maximum braking
distances:
10 km/h – 2.0 m (11)
13 km/h – 2.8 m (10)
15 km/h – 3.5 m (11)
The fi gures in parentheses indicate the
normal braking parameter when the
scooter leaves the factory. This can be
changed with the help of a programming
unit (forward deceleration). Read more
about this later. Please note that braking
distances should not be longer than
indicated in order to comply with offi cial
requirements.
Play/wear. Check the following:
• The cardan joint
• The pins in the tiller axle / front forks
• Make sure that the lower aluminium
part of the handlebars is fi rmly secured
to the tiller axle (*)
