LIGHTS
The energy-saving LEDs do not need
regular maintenance.
In case of damaged LED lights, contact an authorised
service station for repairs.
The scooter is equipped with the following lights:
FRONT
• Daylight running light
• Headlight (high/low beam)
• Left/right turn signals
REAR
• LED Brake light
• LED Position light
• LED Turning lights
• Registration plate light
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.
The GOVECS FLEX 2.0 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 than those quoted above. Never swap tires from
front to rear and vice versa.
Check your tire pressures every month to make sure they are up to
specification, or more often when carrying extra loads. For accuracy,
check the inflation pressure with a tire gauge when tires are cold (or
after the vehicle has been stopped for at least 3 hours). NEVER ride
the scooter with tire pressure 0.2 bar beyond (below or above) the
recommended tire pressures, since it can cause unstable maneu-
verability, excessive wear, lower road grip or even an accident.

26 27
BRAKES
BRAKES OPERATION
• Gently and gradually press both brake levers 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
The braking system must be inspected regularly 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.
RECUPERATION
When using the rear brake, the recuperation is active, charging the battery/-ies in the
process. When the recuperation is active, additional bars appear coming from above in the
"current level battery" area. The process is shown below, from left to right.
The braking system is critical for the safety of the vehicle and the driver. For personal
safety, one should take good care of the braking system state. This vehicle is fitted with two
independent hydraulic disc brake systems for front and rear wheel.
BRAKES FLUID LEVEL
CHECKING THE BRAKES FLUID LEVEL
The brake fluid level must be checked before each ride. To do so,
please follow the next steps:
• 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 brake 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. EN
