FERDINAND II.

Assembly & Operation

Operating Instructions

Charging the battery

Make sure to completely charge the battery before your first ride.
Then recharge it after every ride.

Driving

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 automatically 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 indicator on the
throttle.

Connect the charger to a power
point and to the charger port
located below the ignition lock.

Charging without scooter

As an alternative you can use
the charger adapter to charge
the battery separately from the
scooter (e.g. inside your home).

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 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 may 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 tighten the screw again afterwards.

Adjusting acceleration

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.

Be happy

Be happy about your awesome new scooter!
Enjoy the sun and the wind in your face!

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.

Should you require new Tante Paula batteries, contact our customer
service – tel. [phone] or www.tante-paula.de

You’ll find a small, black plug connector with a
blue cable at the front of the battery compart­ment. If it is open, the scooter will accelerate
gently. If you close this connection, the accele­ration speed of the scooter increases.

Make sure to increase acceleration only if you
have some practice enabling you to ride your
scooter safely!

Spare Parts & Repairs

Please contact us by telephone before sending parts or

scooters. Please have the serial number of

your scooter on hand for easy processing.

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 and
cardboard covering. The handlebar is secured with a thick, white cable tie
for transport. Open it by cutting it through.

Attaching the rear-view mirror

Remove the seat with the seat post and the
seat tube from the small carton.

Insert the seat tube from above into the
mount provided on the frame.

Then screw it in tightly using the T-handle
Allen key provided.

Push the seat with the seat post into the
seat tube, leaving about 10 cm standing out.

Now loosely fasten the screw with your
hand.

Fix the post by folding over the safety
clasp. By opening the clasp, you may later
change the seat height.

Remove the basket from the small carton and
screw it to the mount on the seat tube.

First remove the two small screws from
the mount using the included tools.

Place the basket on the mount, push the
screws through the slot and fasten them
to the mount. For safety reasons, the basket
is elastic. Should it be deformed, push it
back into shape with your hands.

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. Attach the indicator to
the license plate holder. Affix the included,
silver nameplate to the rear of the battery
compartment.

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 mopeddriver’s
license available from the age of 16.

Folding the handlebar upright

The Ferdinand II handlebar can be folded down with a security hinge for
easy transport. Now fold the handlebar upright.

Attaching the seat

Attaching the basket

Remove the screw nut and the washer from the
rear-view mirror.
Open the clamp. Then, using the clamp, affix the
mirror to the part of the handlebar protected by a
fibre band. Arrange the mirror in an upright positi­on and fasten it with the screw.
Hold the mirror with one hand and fasten the
screw nut with the included tool.

Inserting the battery

Take the battery out of the small carton
and, if necessary, remove the transport
retaining band from the plug.

compartment and insert the battery. Then
connect the two plugs, which for reasons
of safety will require a bit of effort to
connect.

completely upright. Push the bolt back, fold the securing screw with the
spring upright and then fasten the hinge with the black safety clasp.
