10 SCOOTIX
Battery gauge and charging instructions
Charging
The battery for this scooter is a sealed, mainte-
nance free D/C battery.
CAUTION
Only the factory-supplied charger can be
used.
Turn off all switches while charging the battery.
Plug one side to a 240V outlet and the other into
the charging plug on the scooter (located under
the seat).
The average charging time is 3 hours (90%) for
the 5000W. To fully charge battery, charging time
will be 4 to 5 hours.
After charging, turn the ignition to the ‘On’ positi-
on and unplug the charger from both sides.
To keep the battery in good condition, charge it
after each use.
Charge the battery fully once a month, even
when the scooter has not been ridden.
Battery Longevity
NOTE
The rider should, if possible, charge the
scooter after every trip as this will help the
battery’s life. The life of the Lithium battery is
1000 deep cycles (80% deep discharged), but
if you charge the battery every time or when
its capacity falls below 50%, the battery life
will be greatly increased. Therefore we advise
the rider to charge the bike as often as pos-
sible. Frequently riding at economical speed
isbetter for battery life and range.
Performance
A range of 55Miles (90km) has been recorded,
yet the distance and speed depend upon various
elements of the rider’s style and the road con-
ditions. A 20mph constant speed will ensure the
longest range but our figures include going flat
out too. Other factors include weather, scooter
condition, and battery charge. Riders must be
cautious when riding on rough roads, in poor
weather, or when the battery charge is low.
This scooter has a circuit brake system to protect
the scooter when the brake is applied;
After each trip, the driver should turn off the
scooter, take out the key and charge the battery.
This battery does not have memory (i.e. you do
not have to run it down completely to achieve a
good charge. On the contrary, regular charging
will lengthen the life of the battery) and can be
charged at any time in the cycle of the battery.
CAUTION
Always check the battery gauge while you are
riding and be sure that it does not get too low
too often.
