Charging the battery
♦
Using the charger supplied with the scooter, the charging is about 8 hours.
♦
However, to ensure optimum performance we recommend a 12-hour charge.
♦
We also recommend that the batteries are not charged for more than 24 hours.

clean the battery.
1. Turn the scooter power switch to OFF.
2. Remove the seat and dust cover.
3. Remove the shroud and unplug the terminal of the tail light and signal lights.
4. Use a clean cloth to wipe off the soiled area.
