Micro-computer Warning Lights and Tones.
Every time you turn on the City Bug
electric scooter, you should hear a single ”beep“. This
indicates the built-in acceleration micro-computer has done a self-diagnostic test and all
systems are normal. If you do not hear a beep and/or none of the LED lights come on, refer to
the Trouble Shooting section for possible causes and solutions.
If you try to engage the throttle lever before you depress the brake lever, the micro-computer
will beep. This is a safety feature that prevents accidental throttle engagement.
If you hear a continuous beeping when you turn on the power, the throttle is activated.
Immediately turn off the power and check to see if the throttle cable is blocked or extended in
a manner that would activate the throttle. This situation most often occurs if the rider is
applying the throttle before turning the power on.
One "beep" every 3 seconds means the battery level is less than 50%.
One "beep" every 1 second means the battery level is less than 30% and the battery should
be recharged immediately. Refer to the Battery System and Charger section for more
information.
Under certain circumstances the City Bug Scooter's micro-computer will automatically shut
the motor off to ensure the integrity to the drive system. The following lights will indicate the
problem and suggested actions.
If the indicator is a flashing yellow light it means 'high motor temperature' and the suggested
action is to turn power off; wait 60 seconds then turn power on.
If the indicator is a flashing green light it means 'too much current to motor' and the suggested
action is to turn power off; turn power on.
If the indicator is a flashing red light it means 'battery power critically low' and the suggested
action is to turn power off and recharge battery immediately.
