as standard on the motorcycle. Electric Motion can not be held liable
for any modifications to the accessories installed on the motorcycle.
Use only Electric Motion parts. These parts have been tested
and approved by Electric Motion. Under no circumstances should you
try to replace the motorcycle components such as the battery pack or
the engine with components of another brand, at the risk of causing
irreversible damages to your vehicle.
Electric Motion does not assume any responsibility for the adaptation
of unapproved parts.
2.2 Operating information
In order to guarantee a safe operation of the motorcycle, it is
forbidden to carry out any modification on the vehicle.
For example, it is formally prohibited to use the vehicle if the vehicle,
or one of its components, hasn’t been properly maintained or if it is
used outside the scope of the intended use. It is also forbidden to
open the motor or the battery pack.
Any modification carried out on the vehicle by the customer
does not render Electric Motion liable and voids any form of
manufacturer's warranty.
Do not use the vehicle under the influence of alcohol, any
medicine that could alter your capacity to drive or illegal drugs, or if
you are not physically or mentally able to drive.
When using the vehicle, some components will start moving
(chain, wheels) and will become dangerous for the user. It is
important to take the right measures to avoid any unnecessary risks.

2.3 Protective clothing
To reduce the risks of potential injury while riding an ETrek
motorcycle, on road or off road, it is necessary to be equipped with
all compulsory protective clothing.
For any kind of trip and for any person that will ride the motorcycle,
it is necessary to wear the correct protective clothing (helmet, boots,
gloves, trousers and jacket equipped with protective means).
Failure to wear safety clothing or wearing damaged safety
clothing is a serious safety hazard and can result in serious injury or
death.
Like the driver, the passenger must also carry all the necessary
protective clothing when riding the motorcycle behind the driver.
Only use protective clothing that is in perfect condition and
complies with the legal requirements of the country of use.
2.4 Environment
In order to guarantee the durability of motorcycle driving, it is
necessary to respect the rules of goodwill on the road with other
users, motorized or not. Ensure that you remain within the legal
framework of the use of a motorcycle. Be respectful to the
environment and road users, and take into account the rights of other
road users.
When the motorcycle parts are disposed of, be sure to comply with
the recycling regulations of the country of use, in particular the
battery pack.
Electrical components (motor, battery, etc.) and electrical
appliances (battery charger) should not be treated as household
waste and require strict recycling.

Warning label
Never remove the warning labels. They allow the driver to avoid
getting injured by exposing himself to a danger that can not be
recognized without the presence of these stickers.
2.6 Fire hazard
As long as the battery pack remains in good working condition, there
is no particular fire hazard on this vehicle. However, if the vehicle
catches fire, it is necessary to inform the fire brigade that the fire
originated from an electric vehicle with a lithium-polymer battery.
When the battery pack is damaged, it may present a fire hazard.
If the battery pack is damaged, contact Electric Motion customer
service promptly.
2.7 Fall or accident
A fall or a road accident can damage the motorcycle significantly.
After a fall or an accident, make a complete inspection of the vehicle
to make sure that the users of the motorcycle do not expose

3. Important observations and general information
3.1 Emission information
The development of the ETrek by Electric Motion has made it possible
to obtain a zero emission motorcycle that does not emit any harmful
particles for the environment. Therefore, it has no exhaust or
evaporative emission.
This motorcycle does not use gasoline, engine oil or any other liquid
fuel.
3.2 Manufacturer's warranty and legal warranty
All the work detailed in the maintenance guide must be carried out
exclusively by a professional in order to retain the warranty right.
The warranty is cancelled in the event of damages resulting from
manipulation or modification on the vehicle made by a person not
certified by Electric Motion.
For additional information on the manufacturer's warranty and how
to obtain it, contact Electric Motion customer service.
3.3 Vehicle range
The ETrek range is defined as the distance the vehicle travels on a
single full charge of the battery.
It is then easy to understand that the range of the vehicle depends on
how it is used. The more conservative you ride, the better range you
can expect from your motorcycle.
There are many factors affecting the range, such as speed,
acceleration, number of regenerative braking, weather conditions,
tire pressure and payload.
For the first use of your ETrek, you are advised to remain cautious so
you become fully aware of the range of your vehicle according to your
driving style.
After you were able to make your own idea about the potential of the
ETrek model, you can adapt your driving style to the range you would
like to achieve.

3.4 Transport of the vehicle
The transport of the motorcycle can be carried out with the help of
an approved trailer or a utility vehicle.
It is important to ensure that the motorcycle is securely fastened
before transporting it on the public road. The use of certified straps
to maintain the motorcycle is recommended to avoid any accidents
related to the loss of the vehicle on public roads.
3.5 Spare parts and accessories
For safety reasons, we recommend that users of ETrek only use spare
parts and accessories authorized and recommended by Electric-
Motion and have them fitted by a professional.
The company Electric Motion will decline any responsibility in case of
equipment deterioration caused by products not approved by the
brand.
For information on spare parts and their installation, contact the
Electric Motion customer service or on our website www.electric-
motion.fr.
3.6 Lifetime optimization
In order to optimize the life of the vehicle, it is important to perform
the maintenance tasks listed in the user manual at the right
mileage/time of use.
Maintaining maintenance intervals is important to keep a vehicle in
good working condition and to avoid early wear.
What’s more, incorrect adjustments of the chassis results in
premature wear of the vehicle.
It is important to refer to the vehicle maintenance manual.

ELECTRIC MOTION
12
3.7 Power supply
The Electric Motion ETrek is powered by a lithium-polymer battery
with a nominal voltage of 51.8V and a capacity of 52Ah.
It is possible to remove and install the battery pack during certain
maintenance operations. To carry out these operations, it is
important to refer to the relevant chapter ( 16.1).
3.8 Parts and consumables
To maintain your vehicle, it is important to use parts and consumables
(lubricants and maintenance products) in accordance with the
specifications given in the user manual.
3.9 Operation under extreme conditions
The ETrek is not sensitive to water and rain. However, care must be
taken to ensure that the water level on the road being ridden does
not exceed the foot-rest height.
In the event the rider is stopped on a road with a high level of
water, it is necessary to turn off the motorcycle to avoid a short circuit
or a breakdown.
The ETrek can be used over a wide range of temperatures: -15°C to
+55°C (5°F to 131°F).
The battery life of the Etrek model depends on the operating
temperature:

Use of the vehicle in extreme conditions (sand, mud) leads to
premature wear of the motorcycle's consumables (chain, brake pads,
various bearings). It is then necessary to carry out the checks and the
maintenance operations more often than prescribed in the manual of
use.
3.10 Reception of the motorcycle
When receiving the ETrek model, it is necessary to perform some
operations to make the motorcycle usable (assembly of parts
protected during transport). Please refer to the corresponding
chapter ( 8).

7. Controls and Components
7.1 Front/rear brake system and adjustment
The front brake lever is located on the handlebars right-hand side. A
CBS-type system is used to distribute braking between the front and
rear of the vehicle via the brake lever located on handlebars left-hand
side.
The front brake lever acts only on the front brake. The rear
brake lever acts on the rear brake AND the front brake. It is best to
get use to this brake system at low-speed before riding normally.
Before each use, check the condition of the brake system. A
faulty brake system makes you vulnerable as well as the other road
users.
7.2 Throttle grip
The throttle grip is located on the handlebars right-hand side.
Before each use, check that the throttle grip rotates and returns
correctly to prevent any accident.
