5. Helpful Tips

1. Safety guidelines

1.1 Pre-ride activities

Before riding scooter make sure that:

• The charging plug is out of the socket

• The battery is su ciently charged

• The lighting, turn signals, and horn function properly

• The mirrors are adjusted for proper use

• There is the correct air pressure and proper tread depth in tires

• The brakes work properly (braking test while pushing the scooter)

• There is the correct level of braking ﬂ uid and that the brake pads are not worn out

• It is easy to turn the handlebars without resistance, fully left and right

• There is proper belt tention

1.2 Clothing

• Always ride in proper clothes and proper helmet.

• Wear tight ﬁ tting and comfortable clothing

• Wear proper boots (don’t ride in high heels, ﬂ ip-ﬂ ops, or similar open footgear)

Inadequate clothing may become a threat to safe riding!

1.3 Riding technique

• Vehicle should be ridden carefully and sensibly

• Always hold the handlebars with two hands

• While turning the rider and passenger should tilt along with the scooter

• Particular wariness is recommended while riding on poorly hardened or wet road surfaces

• Pay attention to atypical sounds or behavior of the scooter while riding

1.4 Carrying cargos and passengers

• In order to carry objects or bags one should explicitly use top case, under seat trunk or a hook for bags. The maximum weight allowance for top case is 5 kg.

• Maximum scooter weight allowance must not be exceeded (150kg including passengers’ weight)

• The scooter is allowed to carry maximum 2 persons

1.5 After riding

• Check if the battery needs charging

Riding with low level of battery signiﬁ cantly decreases its life.

Battery life can be extended by recharging it each time with use of originally installed GOVECS charger. There is no risk of overcharging, because after reaching maximum charging level the charger disconnects automatically (even though the fen is still working).

2.14 Lighting

Each time, before riding the lighting installation should be checked in respect of its functionality, damages, and settings.

• Head-light and parking light

• Front and rear turn signals

• Tail light

• Brake light for front and rear brake

• Number-plate light

Due to the fact that the LED energy-saving bulbs were used in GOVECS scooters, in case of abnormal functioning or damage of lighting installation, its repair should be ordered at sales center of GOVECS.

2.15 Tires

It is necessary to check tires before riding for possible damages or lack of air.

Too low air pressure or worn out tires have a negative impact on the scooter’s performance during riding and reducing the scooters’ range.

Tires can be replaced only at the GOVECS sales center.

Air pressure in tires can be checked and adjusted at every petrol station. Pressure in tires should be checked once a week and after longer periods of downtime.

Airpressure Without load With load (2 persons)

Front 2,5 bar 2,6 bar

Rear 2,5 bar 2,8 bar

2.16 Brakes

Braking system is the safety system of the vehicle. For personal safety one should particularly consider condition of braking system.

The following elements of braking system should be checked before riding:

1. Braking ﬂ uid level (see point 2.17).

2. Seal of the braking system.

3. Performance control.

In order to check performance of the brakes the operator should push the scooter several meters. While pushing squeeze the front brake and then the rear brake, one at a time. During braking test the scooter should be ﬁ rmly held, which will prevent it from falling over.

Note! Maintenance works and repair of the braking system are allowed only at the GOVECS sales centers.

2.17 Control of braking liquid level

Braking liquid level should be checked each time before riding.

• Position the vehicle on the center stand

• Turn the handlebar to the left

• Check the level on the sight-glass from the right side of the vehicle

The level of the braking liquid can be checked on the sight-glass. It must ﬁ t between upper and lower edge of the sight-glass.

Absence of visible liquid in the sight-glass means damage of braking system.

Scooter should not be used until the braking system is repaired at the sales center of GOVECS.

2.18 Control of belt tention

In order to check if the belt tension is correct one needs to grasp the belt between the thumb and index ﬁ nger, in the middle of its

length (between the sprockets) and turn the belt outside wards in a way that it forms a 90 degrees angle. If one is able to turn the belt out for more than 90 degrees it means the tension is too loose – if for less it is too tight.

2.20 How to check the VIN number

You can ﬁ nd the VIN number in two di erent places on the scooter: under the seat and under the charger box cover.

1. In order to ﬁ nd the VIN number under the seat, open it and bend back the rubber lamp cover.

2. On the rectangle shaped metal plate you will see the VIN number of the vehicle.

• In order to ﬁ nd the VIN number under the plastic charger cover you need to unscrew it in four places (please refer to the pictures).

• Once unscrewed, remove the plastic cover.

• You will ﬁ nd the VIN number engraved on the right hand side of the frame.

2.21 Adjusting the rear shock absorber

In order to adjust the rear shock absorber a

C-spanner tool is required.

To adjust its sti ness use the tool to turn the nut (1) into left hand side.

3. Taking care of the vehicle

In order to maintain the vehicle properly certain instructions must be observed concerning care of the scooter.

• Clean the vehicle with sponge and clean water on regular basis.

• Do not use hard sponges or scratching materials for insects removal.

• Varnished covered elements should be cleaned with use of varnish preparations.

• Plastic parts should only be cleaned with agents dedicated to plastic elements.

• Make sure that the anticorrosive aerosol sprays are not used on braking system elements, varnished parts and plastic elements.

• The vehicle parked outdoor should be protected with a breathing cover. Standard covers made of artiﬁ cial material cause water condensation under the cover and consequently make the scooter corroded.

Under no circumstances can the high-pressure washer be used for the scooter cleaning.

4. Transfer of the vehicle

4.1 Inspection before transfer of the vehicle

Before transfer of the vehicle at the sales center of GOVECS the following inspections should be performed:

• Checking the vehicle in respect of transport damages

• Battery charging

• Control and possible adjustment of air pressure in tires

• Control of lighting installation in respect of positioning and proper performance

• Control of performance of all operational elements

• Test riding
