Safety advice
The safety of the vehicle depends on the care of the driver. High speed is a decisive factor in many accidents. Obey speed limits and never drive faster than safety
conditions allow. Beware of the risk of slipping on road markings. Before use, always carry out a general check to make sure that the vehicle can be used in all safety. Road safety regulations mean that wearing a helmet is compulsory for the driver and passengers under
fourteen. It is also recommended to wear gloves, eye protection and bright and visible clothing to increase your safety.
A new electric scooter driv er mus t familiar is e hims elf w it h his vehicle before driving in traffic. Do not forget that your scooter does not make any noise due to its electric motor and therefore
pedestrians are more likely to be taken unawares.
BE DOUBLY CAREFUL
Safety advice
An electric scooter driver must inform other road users of his presence by :
ELMANANG.DOC 5/24/2003
3
••••
avoiding driving in areas of non visibility for other drivers.
••••
driving carefully at junctions, in car parks, at exits and slip roads.
Your electric scooter is designed for urban use and for driving on road surfaces only. The baggage holders or bags available as options are designed for carrying light objects. Make sure that weight is evenly distributed and that any objects are firmly secured in place. Your scooter has been designed in accordance with legal requirements. Do not carry out any
modifications on your electric scooter. Only use products which have been tested and recommended by PEUGEO T MO TO CYCLES. The scooter battery contains electrolyte; in t he event of electrolyte getting on :
••••
SKIN: rinse the affected area immediately,
••••
EYES: rinse immediately and see a doctor.
IMPORTANT
When charging the battery, take all the normal precautions for electrical equipment. As a small amount of hydrogen is given off when charging the battery, make sure that the garage is
adequately ventilated if carrying out this operat ion at home. The charger plug must be connected to a socket with standardised earth. No work must be carried out on the scooter if the charging plug is connected to the mains (no dismantling
of caps or protections, no washing etc....).
If work is absolutely necessary :
••••
disconnect the charger from the mains to avoid the risk of electrocution.
••••
disconnect the battery to avoid a short circuit which would cause irreparable damage to your
Scoot'elec (first, remove the negative lead - identified by green marks).

Presentation
Your electric scooter is equipped with an 18 volt D.C. motor supplied by a traction battery (the term battery covers all the monoblocs), made up of three 6 volt CADMIUM - NICKEL t ype batteries.
An electronic control unit (ECU) records, manages and checks the drivers commands, use of electric power and operational safety.
An onboard charger allows the traction battery to be recharged.
WARNING
Do not fit any electric accessories (for example radio, CB or alarm) which have not been approved by PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES as they could interfere with or damage onboard electronic systems.
Furthermore, during charging interference could affect radios or television sets within a 2m radius around the scooter.
If you fit a windscreen -pay attention do not cut or pinch a electric cable . Dismantle the head light to lock at the mounting of the windscreen
Driving
− Driving an electric scooter is similar to driving a combustion powered vehicle, but requires a few specific precautions and getting used to.
− the maximum legal speed is 45km/h-28miles/h and the autonomy following a full charge gives approximately one hour's driving .
To get the most out of your scooter's autonomy :
− adopt a relaxed style of driving avoiding harsh braking.
− to slow down, use the motor brake which can be obtained by releasing the accelerator handle;
furthermore, this deceleration allows energy to be recovered.
− make sure that tyres are at the right pressure (2.5 bars) and that the brake free travel is correctly adjusted (page 18).
− preferably, carry out full charges, i.e., until the w a rning light goes out .

Driving battery
The NICKEL CADMIUM driving battery requires periodic maintenance signalled by the lighting up of the "maintenance" warning light on the instrument panel. This maintenance must be made two or three times a year
This maintenance operation can only be carried out by a PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES Scoot'elec registered dealer.
During charging: Warning - no flames or sparks should be used near the battery due to a small
amount of hydrogen being released. Battery electrolyte is a corrosiv e, alkaline solution.
In the event of contact with the skin :
wash immediately with water. In the event of contact with eyes :
wash immediately with water and see a doctor. If liquid appears under the vehicle :
dilute with water and sponge away wearing rubber glov es. I nform your PEUG EO T MO TO CYCLES dealer.
Recycling of the three monoblocs making up the battery :
At the end of their life, these monoblocs should be taken to a dealer's who w ill deal w it h r ecycling them.

Battery charging
Connect the charge lead plug (located under the seat) to a 230V - 10A/16A mains socket with earth and protected by differential circuit breaker of 30 mA.
The charge light
will light up on the instrument panel and a beep will be heard.
As soon as maximum capacity is reached, charging is stopped automatically and the light
will go out.
Make sure the lead is replaced under the seat before using the vehicle. The use of an extension lead is not advised. If you have no other option, make sure a "STANDARDISED"
extension lead is used, i.e., a lead which can withstand at least 10 Amps and has an earth wire. As the charge is controlled both in terms of time and temperature by the electronic control unit, it is not
advised to use a programmer. Duration of complete charge (battery empty) approxim ately 5h.
Note:
If the temperature of the battery is high, charging will only begin after an automatically controlled cooling period (resulting in charging time being increased by the same amount). The H warning light
will
flash on and off until charging is started automatically. During charging, it is normal to witness a rise in temperature at the rear of the vehicle caused by the
cooling fan. Do not obstruct the air outlet underneath the red light (no cover, no cagoule to dry....).
Charging can be carried out at all times whatever is shown on the energy gauge or on the battery charge warning light
(lit, off, flashing).
Nevertheless, you are advised to carry out a full charge as regularly as possible (until the warning light
goes out).
If the vehicle is not used for more than a week, several "charging and discharging" cycles may be necessary for the full capacity of the battery to be reached.
Once the charge is complete, the lead can remain connected up to the next time it is used.
Rapid charge option
A specific external charger is necessary in order to carry out this type of charge. The time saved compared to a normal charge is 50%.
A PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES dealer is at your disposal for fitting a special socket on your scooter and to supply you with this optional charger.
In this case, your charging location must be equipped with two 230V 10A/16A sockets.
Warning
− During charging, it is prohibited to carry out any work on the v ehicle.
In particular: no washing, no dismantling, no movement (nor taking off stand).
− charging must be carried out in a well ventilated room and away from flames or sparks due to a small amount of hydrogen being released.
In particular : do not carry out charging in a boiler room or near to an electric switch. If liquid appears under the vehicle after charging, dilute with water and wipe away wearing compulsory
rubber gloves. Inform your PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES dealer.

Only handling mode is possible (see page 14)
Note
:
If you do not carry out this maintenance, the electronic safety function will gradually reduce performance until the scooter comes to a complete standstill. It will only start to function normally once this m aint enance has been carried out.
IMPORTANT
The battery guarantee is subject to this maintenance being carried out correctly. A specific procedure and a product satisfying PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES's standards are compulsory for this maintenance.
Your PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES Scoot'elec registered dealer is trained in this technique and has the necessary product for carrying out this operation.
Under no circumstances must you pour any liquid whatsoever (including water for the battery and acid even less so) into the maintenance hole located under the seat as this could cause irreparable damage to the batteries.
A safety element records in the ECU every time this hole is opened and in the event of this hole being opened without authorisation, a warning is given on the instrument panel.
All the warning lights flasching with “beep” “beep”
In order to carry out this maintenance operation, the dealer will have to immobilise your scooter during a period of approximately 12 hours (for example one night).
This maintenance operation is necessary approximately three times per year for average use. This frequency may vary depending on use. It is aut omatically controlled by the ECU.
