Equipment

When you ordered your E- Scooter motorcycle, you chose various items of custom

equipment. This Rider's Manual describes optional equipment (OE) offered by BMW and selected optional accessories (OA). This explains why the manual may also contain descriptions of equipment which you have not ordered. Please note, too, that your vehicle might not be exactly as illustrated

in this manual on account of country-specific differences. The features of any equipment supplied with your E-Scooter not described in this Rider's Manual will be described in separate manuals.

Technical Data

All dimensions, weights and performance data contained this Rider's Manual refer to the German DIN standards and comply with their tolerance specifications. Versions for individual countries may differ.

Notice concerning current status

The outstanding levels of safety and quality furnished by E-Scoot- ers are the result of ongoing advanced development focusing

on continuous improvement in design and engineering as well as equipment and accessories.

For this reason, some aspects of your vehicle may vary from the descriptions in this Rider's Manual. In addition, BMW Motorrad cannot guarantee the total absence of errors. We hope you will appreciate that no claims can

be recognized based on the data, illustrations or descriptions in this manual.
