Usage Features
Safe Driving Precautions:
- Always adhere to traffic rules and local speed limits.
- Familiarize yourself with the manual and practice in an empty field before riding.
- Avoid lending the vehicle to unfamiliar riders.
- Single-hand riding and drunk riding are highly dangerous.
- Exercise extreme caution in rainy and snowy conditions due to reduced grip and braking performance; avoid high speeds and sudden turns. Brake in advance on snowy days.
- Wear a helmet correctly, ensuring it is fastened securely.
- Wear appropriate clothing that allows free movement and low-heeled shoes.
- Do not exceed the maximum load of 200 kg, as heavy loads affect control.
- Note the frame and motor numbers for maintenance and service.
Correct Riding Method:
- Maintain a natural posture.
- Keep both hands on the steering bar and both feet on the vehicle.
- Accelerate slowly to avoid instability.
- Ride slowly on paved road surfaces.
- In rain and snow, ride slowly and avoid deep water to prevent battery box water damage and short circuits. Be aware of reduced braking performance.
Parking Method:
- Park carefully, especially around other vehicles and pedestrians.
- Park on a flat road, avoiding ramps.
Power Indicator (LCS Display):
- LOW: Lights indicate electricity usage up to 75% of rated capacity.
- HALF: Lights indicate electricity usage up to 35% of rated capacity.
- HIGH: Lights indicate power is less than 10%.
- When LOW lights flash, it's time to charge immediately.
Power Lock Key:
- Insert the ignition key to start the motor.
- Turn the key to shut off power.
- For parking, turn the power supply off clockwise and pull out the key.
Acceleration Handle (Speed):
- Rotate the accelerator to increase speed.
- Relax the accelerator to reduce speed.
Disc Brake Method:
- Brake clearance adjustment: Adjust the nut by 2 mm with a wrench to ensure proper gap between the disk and pads for comfortable braking.
- Brake pad replacement: Pads should be changed every six months or when wear exceeds 1 mm. Clean the brake pads with a clean environment and press the old pad out, replacing it with a new one. Adjust the brake lever screw back into the correct position for comfortable feel.
- Brake force: Practice to adjust braking force, as it increases over time.
- Oil change: Change disc brake oil every 2-3 years, using a syringe pump.
Disc Brake Attention:
- Do not use lubricating oil on disc brake pads and calipers, as it significantly reduces braking performance.
- New brake pads should not be exposed to water to avoid reducing lubricating oil in the assembly clearance.
- Practice using the hydraulic disc brake system in a safe place. Avoid aggressive braking to prevent wheel lock and injury.
Charger Usage:
- Method: Insert the battery box first, then plug into a 220V AC outlet. After charging, unplug the 220V AC plug, then the battery box plug.
- Indicator: Red light indicates normal charging; green light indicates full charge.
- Temperature protection: If a red light flashes, the charger is in temperature protection. Move it to a cool, ventilated place.
- Output test: When not connected to the battery, the charger output is less than 42V pulse voltage. To test the actual charging voltage, use a 1 kΩ resistance load in the output port.
Charger Attention:
- For indoor use only.
- Do not use in confined spaces, scorching sun, or high-temperature environments. Do not place the charger in barrels or boxes.
- Do not leave the charger connected to AC power for long periods without charging.
- If abnormal light, odor, or overheating occurs, stop charging immediately and send for repair or replacement.
- Do not open or fix the charger internally.
- Do not overcharge the battery.
- Do not use in a combustible gas environment.
- Keep the charger away from water or wet places to prevent fire or electric shock.
Battery Usage and Attention:
- Charging: Use only the company-supplied charger. Unauthorized chargers can shorten battery life or cause failure.
- Do not discharge the battery below 95%.
- Battery capacity reduces by about 5% after more than a month of storage.
- Charge in time to ensure mileage.
- Charger operation is normal as long as the temperature does not exceed 60°C.
Battery Discharge (Use):
- For use only in electric vehicles; no warranty for other uses.
- Battery management system provides automatic protection in case of short circuit. The power cord fuse will blow, protecting the battery. It will reset after about 2 minutes, allowing normal operation.
- Damage to the electric car's controller, motor, speakers, or lighting equipment, or unreasonable configuration, can cause large current discharge, leading to temporary protective stop output (resets in 10 seconds).
- Operating temperature range: -10 ~ 55 °C. Battery energy decreases at lower temperatures, which is normal.
- Do not discharge completely to avoid short circuits.
Battery Storage:
- For long-term storage (over a month), charge to 60-80%. Recharge every three months.
- Store in a cool, dry environment.
- Avoid conducting objects connecting the electrodes.
- Do not use near fire sources.
- Do not disassemble the battery.
- Do not modify batteries.
Battery Notes:
- If battery deformation or heat is found, stop use and contact the company or maintenance department.
- In case of fire, do not use water directly. Use sand, foam fire extinguisher, or thick cloth soaked with water.
- Damage due to incorrect storage or charging is not covered by warranty.
- Do not discard batteries arbitrarily.
Maintenance Features
III. Inspection, cleaning and maintenance
Regular/Daily Check Items:
- Vehicle Location: Ensure the vehicle is in a safe location.
- Abnormal Position: Check for any abnormal positions that might affect operation.
- Brake Braking Effect: Ensure the brake handle feels soft, with proper clearance, and normal braking.
- Tires:
- Check for cracks, damage, abnormal wear, metal, stone, glass, or other sharp objects embedded.
- Inspect the depth of tire grooves; replace tires when two-thirds worn.
- Check tire pressure based on the sag of the ground contact area. Normal pressure values are 1.5 kg/cm² for front and rear tires.
- Power Voltage: Verify the power voltage indicator (refer to Chapter 4, paragraph 2).
- Steering System:
- Check handlebar and front fork movement (up, down, forward, backward, left, right) for moderate elasticity and flexible steering.
- If there is a clattering sound, loose steering, or other issues, contact dealers for service.
- Axles: Ensure front and rear axles are not loose.
