Maintenance & Operation

Charging the battery in the scooter

Make sure to completely charge the battery before your first ride. Then
recharge it after every ride. Refer to the battery information in these
instructions for directions on how to do this.

Charging the battery without a scooter

The battery can be removed and charged separately from the scooter,
e.g. to charge it inside your home.

First connect the charger to the
charger port below the ignition lock.
Then insert the charger into a
normal outlet (230V).

Approx. 3-4 hours is required for a
complete charge. At the end of the
charging process the charger will
switch off automatically.

To do this, use
the charger adapter (included with
delivery) located in the zipper compartment
of the battery bag.
Simply attach it between the battery and
the charger.

Operation

To turn on your scooter insert the key into the ignition lock and turn it to the
right. For safety reasons when not in operation the scooter will shut off automa-
tically after 5 minutes. Then to operate it, switch it off and then on again. To get
moving, slowly turn the throttle downwards.

Accelerate with care as the motor should not be underestimated!

During operation you can see the battery level by referring to the LED indicator
on the throttle.

Checking tire pressure

Check tire pressure regularly because it is one of the factors that can impact the
range of the scooter. It should be 3 bar for both front and rear wheels.

Adjusting the angle of the brake levers

The angle of the brake levers can be adjusted for different seat heights. At a
lower seat height it can be more comfortable if the brake levers are turned a bit
higher upwards in the direction of travel. For riders with a greater seat height it
can be more comfortable if the brake levers are turned further downwards.

To adjust the angle, loosen the black screw
on the brake lever with the included tool.
You can then adjust the brakes as you wish.
Make sure to carefully tighten the screw
again afterwards.

Turbo

The acceleration of Ferdinand II can be adjusted.

In its delivery state the scooter accelerates
gently, making it very easy and safe to control.
If you prefer acceleration to be very quick, you
can increase the scooter’s acceleration. With
activated Turbo button (on 1) the acceleration
is quick, with unactivated Turbo button (on 0)
the acceleration is gently.

Important battery information

Batteries are subject to wear, have a limited lifespan and the warranty does
not apply to them. However, advanced Tante Paula batteries are very durable.
To extend the life of your battery we recommend the following:

Turn off the scooter after use to prevent the battery from deep discharging,
causing damage.

Recharge the battery after every use.

If not in use for extended periods charge the scooter or battery once in a
month. After charging, unplug the charger to expand it‘s lifespan.

service – tel. [phone] or www.tante-paula.de

Assembly instructions

Unpacking

After reading the safety instructions have two people lift the scooter out of the
carton and then remove the Styrofoam parts and protective plastic covering. The
handlebar is secured with a thick, white cable tie for transport. Cut through this.
The scooter keys are attached to the handlebar.

Align the front light in the direction of travel and screw it in tightly on the
side using the wrench and the T Allen wrench. Make sure not to bend the light

bracket!

Always use the included tool to adjust the light and make sure not to bend the
bracket.

Before folding upright push the bolt to the side and then fold the handle-
bar completely upright. Push the bolt back, fold the securing screw with the
spring upright and then fasten the hinge with the black safety clasp.

Attaching the rear-view mirror

The scooter is delivered with one short and one
long seat post. As delivered the seat is affixed to
the long post. Select the seat post appropriate for
your seat height and if required attach the seat and
the reflector to the short seat post. Insert the desi-
red seat post into the designated brackets on the
scooter. Then screw it in tightly from the side.

Inserting the battery

Take the battery out of the small carton and, if
necessary, remove the transport retaining band
from the plug. Use the ignition key to open the
battery compartment and insert the battery. Then
connect the plugs, which for reasons of safety
will require a bit of effort to connect

Driving on public streets in the EU requires you
to have a valid insurance indicator, an approved
helmet and a valid driver’s license.

Take your green EU registration paper (in the
sleeve on the large carton) to a public insurance
office and purchase an insurance indicator. At-
tach the indicator to the license plate holder.

A normal EU-Class 3 or B car driver’s license is
sufficient for scooter operation. At a minimum
you will require a EU-Class M moped driver’s
license available from the age of 16.
