Manual carefully before starting

contains important information on
how to operate the controls and
how to make the best possible
use of all your E-Scooter's
technical features.
In addition, it contains informa-
tion on maintenance and care to

Overview
Chapter 2 of this Rider's Manual
will provide you with an initial
overview of your E-Scooter. All
maintenance and repair work
on the vehicle is documented
in Chapter 13. This record of the
maintenance work you have had
performed on your vehicle is a
precondition for generous treat-
ment of goodwill claims.
Sale of the E-Scooter
If the time comes to sell your
E-Scooter, please remember to
hand over this Rider's Manual
to the new owner. The Rider's
Manual is an important part of
your vehicle.
High-voltage system of your
E-Scooter
Your E-Scooter is an electric
vehicle. The vehicle has a high-
voltage system, two components
of which are an electrical ma-
chine and a high-voltage battery
unit.
Warning stickers on vehicle
components
Warning stickers on vehicle com-
ponents draw your attention to
the fact that incorrect use of the
high-voltage technology or high-
voltage components entails the
risk of life-threatening injury due
to electric shock.

not be exactly as illustrated

country-specific differences.
If your E-Scooter was supplied
with equipment not described
in this Rider's Manual, you will
find these features described in
separate manuals.
Technical data
All dimensions, weights and
power ratings stated in the
Rider's Manual are quoted to the
standards and comply with the
tolerance requirements of the
Deutsches Institut für Normung
e.V. (DIN). Versions for individual
countries may differ.
Actuality
The high safety and quality
standards of BMW E-Scooters
are maintained by constant
development work on designs,
equipment and accessories.
Because of this, your vehicle
may differ from the information
supplied in the Rider's Manual.
Nor can BMW Motorrad entirely
rule out errors and omissions.
We hope you will appreciate that
no claims can be entertained on
the basis of the data, illustrations
or descriptions in this manual.
