battery outside the scooter. By this

procedure a reset to the battery is

performed.

During charging the batteries inside the scooter, the status of it can be

seen in the cockpit screen (Picture below left). If the charger is only

connected to the scooter, but not to the electrical socket, a message will

appear in the cockpit showing the message "Check connection" (Picture

below right).

22 23

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The following points have to be followed when charging:

• The cable of the charger can be passed through the groove in

the top plastic (see bottom pictures). It is a must that the seat

is closed during charging, and the charger has to be place

outside the scooter during the whole charging process.

• The charger can be positioned in the space between the

frontal battery and the charging connector only for transpor

tation purposes (see right picture).

CHARGING THE BATTERY

OFFBOARD CHARGING

The docking station provides the possibility of charging one battery outside the scooter.

Following are the instructions to use it:

• Identify the docking station and the charger and put it next to each other.

• Approach the blue Chogori connector of the charger to the side of the docking station and

align the two white arrows, then push it. The blue ring will rotate to the left, keep pushing

until it snaps in, makes a click sound and flips back. When correctly done, the blue ring will

be locked and in an upright position (See pictures below).

• Put a battery in the docking station matching the wide side of the battery with the wide side

of the docking station, and the same for the narrow side (See pictures to the right; Narrow

side upper picture and wider side lower picture).

• Plug in the charger to an electrical socket. The charging process will start.

Once the charge process is finished you can take the battery from the docking station. Please

avoid to disconnect the blue Chogori connector when the charger is still in the electrical socket

and the battery is on the docking station.

ATTENTION: The docking station is not waterproof. Use it indoors only.

26 27

TIRES

TIRE PRESSURE

• Front tire: 2,2 bar (220 kPa)

• Rear tire: 2,5 bar (250 kPa)

Air pressure above or below these limits may cause excessive

tire wear and tear. It will have a negative impact on road grip,

vehicle range and safety.

TIRE MAINTENANCE

Before riding, check both tires for damage and eventual air

inflation pressure losses.

Tire inflation pressure should be checked weekly and after

long periods of inactivity.

Regularly check the tread depth. Replace tires when reaching

1mm or lower tread depth.

Tires must never be repaired. In the event of tire wear, tear,

chunk or any other sort of structural or tread damage, replace

them immediately with GOVECS approved tires.

This GOVECS scooter is equipped with tubeless tires:

• Front tire: MITAS C02 2 ¾ -16 44P

• Rear tire: MITAS C09 90/90-16 48P

Never use tires with different ETRTO dimensions, lower load

index or lower speed symbol that those quoted above. Never

swap tires from front to rear and vice versa. NEVER ride

the scooter with tire pressure below 2.0 bar. It can cause

unstable manoeuvrability, lower road grip or even an accident.

BRAKES

BRAKES OPERATION

• Gently and gradually press both brake levers in order to slow down

• Braking too rapidly may cause accidents

• When the road is wet, use preferably the rear brake to avoid front wheel skid

BRAKES INSPECTION

Brake systems must be inspected on a regular basis in order to ensure its

safe operation:

• Check the brake fluid level on both brake pump reservoirs (see next page)

• Inspect the brake hoses for leaks

• Check if brake pad thickness is above 2.4 mm

• Check if brake discs thickness is above 2 mm

• Check free operation of brake levers. Adjust and lubricate when required.

The braking system is critical for the safety of the vehicle and the driver. For

personal safety, one should take good care of brake system condition. This

vehicle is fitted with two independent hydraulic disc brake systems for front

and rear wheel.

28 29

BRAKES FLUID LEVEL

CHECKING THE BRAKES FLUID LEVEL

The brake fluid level must be checked before each ride. In order to do

so:

• Position the scooter in an upright position on even ground.

• Check the fluid level through the glass eye at the brake reservoir.

The brake fluid must always reach above the minimum level line.

• If the brake fluid level is below the minimum line, it indicates

wear or damage to the brake system. If so, please check the break

fluid pipes for damage.

If you notice ANY damage to the brake system,

DO NOT USE THE SCOOTER

and immediately contact the closest

authorized workshop for repairs.

TAKING CARE OF THE VEHICLE

CLEANING

Before cleaning, make sure if the scooter is turned off and discon-

nected from the charger.

• Clean the vehicle with a sponge and warm clear water

• Do not use hard sponges or brushes that may scratch the

panels, display and other delicate components.

• Clean varnished elements with dedicated cleansers only.

• Clean plastic panels with dedicated cleansers only.

• DO NOT use anti-corrosive cleansers on the brake system,

varnished parts or plastic panels.

• Avoid cleaning the scooter with any high-pressure washer,

since it may damage electrical components.

• DO NOT use any liquid product to clean the inside of the

battery storage.

• Remove the detergent with cold water and dry all surfaces.

GOVECS is not responsible for any damage resulting from the use

of pressurizing water for cleaning the vehicle.

MAINTENANCE

• Follow the recommended pre-ride check up (page 6).

• Mind the recommended maintenance schedule (page 25).

• Contact the authorised service station for maintenance.

• Do not make unauthorised modifications to the vehicle.

BATTERY LIFE

The Li-Ion battery is a crucial part of this scooter.

Li-Ion batteries have no memory effect. They can be charged

as often as desired and whatever its SOC (State Of Charge) is.

Follow these instructions for proper maintenance and long

lasting performance:

• Use only the designated charger supplied by GOVECS.

• To charge the battery, connect the charger first to the

vehicle, then to the power supply.

• After charging, always disconnect first the charger from the

power supply, then from the vehicle.

• Place the charger in a well ventilated area while charging to

avoid overheating.

• Avoid using the scooter when the battery is too low.

STORAGE

• Store the vehicle indoors where it is safe from harsh weather

conditions such as rain, snow, pollution and high humidity.

• Do not park the vehicle outdoors, in rain or in wet condi-

tions.

• IMPORTANT: For prolonged storage periods (i.e. overwinter)

we recommend leaving the battery with a state of charge of

70% and unplugging it.

• Check the state of charge every 3 months and charge the

battery to 70% if necessary. Letting the battery discharge

completely during this period may lead to irreparable

damage to the battery.

Reporting Safety Defects

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should

immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying GOVECS AG.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a

group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.

However, NHTSA cannot become involved in any individual problems between you, your dealer, or GOVECS AG.

To contact NHTSA you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (366-0123 in Washington,

DC area) or write to:
