INTRODUCTION
General safety
When riding your motorcycle, always wear the correct safety gear,
even for short journeys: an approved helmet, eye protection, riding
boots, gloves and protective clothing. Taking these precautions helps
to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident.
Make sure your motorcycle is maintained in good mechanical
condition by following the maintenance schedule and making any
recommended adjustments contained in this handbook. Be sure to
check your motorcycle before going for a ride. For further information,
see Daily safety checks on page 38.
Modifications to the motorcycle may render the vehicle unsafe, void
the warranty, and/or cause injury to yourself and other road users.
Therefore, Maeving cannot be held liable for any consequences as the
result of non-approved modifications.
It is not recommended to overload your motorcycle with large, bulky
or heavy items. This additional load may aect the handling of your
motorcycle and the eectiveness of the safety systems, as well as
void the warranty
Sometimes, motorists or pedestrians do not see motorcyclists
approaching, and electric motorcycles are virtually silent when in use.
Wearing bright or reflective clothing and maintaining a good road
position while riding can make you more visible to other road users
and provide you with extra room to take evasive action in the case of
an emergency.
Remember to signal when changing lanes or turning, and use the
horn to alert other road users of your presence where appropriate.
Never ride a motorcycle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, as
this is illegal and will impair your riding ability.
Operating a motorcycle on public roads without a licence is illegal
and could lead to prosecution. The formal training for correct riding
techniques, included in the licensing process, is essential for avoiding
loss of motorcycle control and accidents.
Your Maeving RM1
There are two versions of the Maeving RM1 available:
• L1e-B - The L1 variant has two driving modes available and is
speed-limited.
• L3e-A1 - The L3 variant has three driving modes available.
Maeving can derestrict an L1 variant motorcycle, in order to
increase the performance to that of the L3 variant. This needs to
be done by the Maeving Workshop Team or a Maeving Workshop
Partner and will come at an additional cost. To find out more, please
contact the Maeving Support Team. For further information, see
Contacts on page 6.

Checking throttle operation
With the ignition key in the OFF position, open
the throttle and release it to confirm that it is
operating smoothly and that it returns to its
resting position correctly.
For further information, see Throttle control
on page 44.
Releasing the side stand
A safety cut-out sensor on the side stand
prohibits drive from being engaged while
the side stand is in the down position. The

QUICK START GUIDE
Choosing a driving mode
With the side stand in the up position, apply one of the brakes and
press the driving mode button (D) once to select driving mode 1.
Repeated presses of the mode button will select driving mode 2 and
then driving mode 3.
The instrument panel displays the current driving mode selection.
Note: The L3 version of the RM1 has three driving modes.
Driving mode 1 gives the best performance, but consumes
battery power more quickly and driving mode 3 is the most
economical.
Note: The L1 version of the RM1 has two driving modes.
Driving mode 1 gives the best performance, but consumes
battery power more quickly and driving mode 2 is the most
economical.
After selecting a driving mode, release the brake and gradually
turn the throttle towards you to apply power and accelerate the
motorcycle forward. Twisting the throttle away from you reduces or
eliminates (fully closed throttle) power. There are no gears to worry
about; just open the throttle and ride.
After your journey, stop the motorcycle, and with the brake applied,
press the Neutral (N) button. This will select neutral and prevent the
motorcycle from moving forward if the throttle is turned.
Note: If the motorcycle is stationary for 5 minutes and the
throttle or brakes are not operated in this time, neutral will be
automatically selected.
For further information, see Driving mode button on page 40.

GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Vehicle range is defined as the distance that your motorcycle will
travel on a single full charge of the battery. This range may vary
due to many factors, including, the speed at which the motorcycle
is ridden, how hard you accelerate, the type of journey undertaken
(stopping and starting), the ambient temperature, use on inclines, and
the general service condition of your motorcycle.
As a direct reflection of your riding habits, it is advised to ride your
motorcycle conservatively, especially for first time use. You may
expect better range when ridden conservatively.
An electric vehicle’s energy consumption is averaged out over shorter
distances and it is designed to be recharged daily. Therefore, your
motorcycle may yield dierent ranges from one charge to the next.
The range may be increased by following the guidance notes
below:
• Type of commute: use on flat smooth roads, riding slower and
making fewer stops.
• Style of riding: maintaining a consistent speed, maintaining a
streamlined riding position to reduce drag and reducing the
weight of any cargo.
• Weather conditions: use during warmer, drier weather, riding
against less wind and on dry roads.
• Service condition: taking care of your motorcycle, making sure
the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure.
Using the driving modes 1, 2 or 3 will also aect the overall range
that your motorcycle can travel.
Note: The motorcycle is not designed for commercial
use. Incorrect use will invalidate the warranty, For further
information, see Maeving warranty terms and conditions on
page 77.
