3) Stands
Make sure both the side stand and centre stand are folded away. The side stand has a sensor that prevents the scooter from being driven when it is out, but
the centre stand doesn’t.
4) Tyres
Always make sure there are no punctures, cracks or tears in the tyres, and that the treads are not worn down. Never drive with worn or defective tyres. Make
sure the front tyre pressure is 1.8 bar and the rear 2.5 bar.
Driving with inappropriate tyre pressure can damage the tyre and cause an accident, in addition to limiting their lifespan.
Rear tyre
It is very important to respect the rear tyre pressure (2.5 bar) as the motor is inside the rear wheel.
It is important to remember that this vehicle has more weight on the rear wheel than conventional vehicles (those without an in-wheel motor), so the rim or
motor can be affected when going over kerbs, potholes or road humps if travelling at the same speed as a conventional vehicle.
WARNING: If you go over kerbs, potholes or road humps at high speed, you could damage the vehicle’s rim and/or motor.
5) Brakes
a) Brake fluid
The brake fluid tanks are located on the top of the handlebar, one on each side. Check the levels with the scooter resting on both
wheels, not on either stand.
The brake liquid should never fall below the MIN line on the tank. Air can get into the tank if it is empty, which can cause
problems in the scooter’s braking system and compromise safety on the road.
Levels should always be checked and the fluid must be changed every 2 years. If there is not enough fluid, add more.
