Thank you for choosing a Metz “Made in Germany” quality product.
We are pleased to welcome you as a customer.
To begin with, we would like to provide you with some important informa-
tion on your new Metz moover. This will help you use the technology better
and avoid risks.
Please read through these operating instructions carefully and keep them
safe.
Your electrically-assisted scooter can be handed over to you in a completely
pre-assembled state or not completely mounted and adjusted. Please con-
tact your specialist dealer for this important work or follow the instruction
in the “Assembly” chapter on page 3.
It is assumed that the users of this Metz moover have fundamental and suf-
cient knowledge on how to deal with scooters. They are not instructions to
teach you how to drive.
All persons that
• use
• repair or maintain
• clean
• or dispose of the Metz moover
must fully acknowledge and understand the content and meaning of these
operating instructions. If you have other questions or have not fully under-
stood something, please ask a Metz moover specialist dealer for your own
safety.
All the information in these operating instructions refer to the setup, tech-
nology and care and maintenance. Please observe this information, a lot of
it is safety related - non-observance of this information can result in serious
accidents and economic losses.
We have described the most important points due to the complex technolo-
gy of a modern Metz moover.
The instructions apply to the Metz moover indicated on the envelope that
was given to you.
Before you drive on public roads, please gather information about the re-
spectively valid national regulations.
Always be aware that driving the Metz moover can harbour certain risks. As a
driver you are particularly vulnerable. Always be aware that you are not as pro-
tected as you would be in a car. You do not have an airbag or body work. Never-
theless, you are faster than a pedestrian in other areas of the road. Pay particu-
lar attention to other road users.
First a few pointers for the persons driving that must also
be observed:
• Always wear an adapted and suitable bicycle helmet
and use it on every journey!
• Gather information on the correct t of the helmet in
the helmet manufacturer’s instructions.
• Always wear bright clothing or sportswear with reflective elements while
driving; it is important TO BE SEEN.
• Wear appropriate shoes. Your shoes must have anti-slip soles.
• Never drive without holding onto the handlebar!
• Always drive by placing both hands on the handles.
• Never drive with headphones
• Do not use the telephone
• Never drive if you are not able to fully control your journey. This holds
particularly true if you consumed medication, alcohol or other drugs.

Installation
Your electrically assisted scooter
was not delivered in a fully assem-
bled and set-up condition. The han-
dlebar was dismantled for lack of space. This
work is relevant to safety. Please contact your
specialist dealer for the safe assembly of the
handlebar.
You need to use a torque wrench, if
you want to assemble the handlebar
yourself! While tightening the screws,
it is imperative to comply with the exact torque
of 5 Nm.
Assemble handlebar
1. Remove all packaging.
2. Loosen the hook-and-loop fastener of the
transport safety device.
3. Place the cable clip with the clearance hole,
which the cables run through, onto the han-
dlebar mount of the stem. Position it onto the
thread hole front right in the direction of travel.
4. Place the handlebar with the clamp plate into
the stem mount.
5. Position the handlebar in the middle of the
clamp. Make sure that all cables and wires
are positioned correctly. They must not be
clamped or buckled. The cables must not wind
around the handlebar. They must allow for all
necessary steering movements.
Information on electrics and
electronics
Information on the operation, main-
tenance and care as well as techni-
cal data can be found in these in-
structions and online on the website of the
respective component manufacturer.
The electrical system of your Metz
moover is very powerful. Please al-
ways contact your specialist dealer
for any questions regarding repairs or if you
have a question or problems or discover a de-
fect. The lack of expertise can lead to serious
accidents and damages!
Prior to performing any work on your
Metz moover, switch o the electri-
cal system.
If your Metz moover does drive o
immediately although an error mes-
sage was not displayed, check
whether both brake levers are in the home
position! Motor power is not transmitted if
the brake lever is actuated!
4
6. Insert the screws provided through the four
drill holes of the clamp plate. Use your hand to
fasten them with a few rotations so that they
cannot fall down.
7. Then use an Allen key to gently tighten the
screws. The handlebar should still be capable
of movement.
8. In the clamp, align the handlebar in the centre
and in the driving position. The inscription on
the handlebar shows you how the handlebar
is positioned in the clamp.
The brake levers must be set up (by
rotating the handlebar in its clamp)
so that the hands as a straight exten-
sion of the arms can safely and reliably oper-
ate the brake levers.
9. Tighten the screw that fastens the
metal clamp with the cables using a
torque of 5 Nm.
10. Now tighten the second screw on the
front (in the direction of travel) of the han-
dlebar clamp so that the whole length of the
gap between the upper and lower part of the
clamp has the same width.
ABA = B
11. Tighten both of the other screws uni-
formly and alternately with a torque
of 5 Nm.
Quick start
In this section you will be provided
with important information and in-
structions so that you can safely use
your Metz moover as quickly as possible.
Always apply the brakes of your Metz
moover prior to positioning one foot
on the step.
First read through all the safety instructions.
All necessary installation steps must be complet-
ed prior to the initial start-up.
Find out about the legal provisions that apply to
you.
Perform all safety inspections as described in the
“Before each ride” section on page 6.
Read the information on charging the battery in
the “Charging the battery” chapter on page 16.
• Fully charge the battery.
To start the system, press the button until
the moover switches on. This is located on the
frame to the le above the front wheel.
5
• The switching on routine of the display will be-
gin once the system has been switched on.
• Apply both brakes as soon as the word “TEST”
appears on the display.
• First of all, only place the foot of your standing
leg on the step.
• Release the brakes and get the scooter moving
by pushing your other leg (swinging leg) o the
ground.
• As soon as you have reached a speed of 3 km/h
in the standard mode or 2 km/h in the walking
speed mode, you can position your swinging leg
onto the step as well. Carefully push the hand
pedal down with your right thumb. This acti-
vates motor support.
• The scooter will continue to drive as long as the
hand pedal is gently moved. All you need to do
is move your thumb during the ride. The motor
switches o once the hand pedal lever is no
longer moved.
Before the rst ride
Carefully read through all warnings
and information in these operating
instructions prior to operating the
Metz moover.
Adjust the handlebar to a height that you nd safe
and comfortable. It is imperative to pay attention
to the correct t of all quick clamps and fasteners.
(see also “Adjust handlebar height” chapter on
page 8).
Familiarise yourself with the new
Metz moover in a protected area.
Learn the allocation of the brake
handles of the front (le brake handle) and
rear wheel brake (right brake handle)
Modern brake systems can have a
signicantly stronger and dierent
brake action than usual! Prior to
starting a journey, practice using the brakes
in a safe, unused area! Please note that if it is
wet or if the vehicle is used on a slippery
ground the eect of the brakes can be dan-
gerously dierent than usual. Adapt your driv-
ing style to longer braking distances and a
slippery ground.
Ensure that you Metz moover is ready for operation
and check the following points:
• The height, fastening, alignment and maximum
pullout of the handlebar column
• Secure positioning of the wheels
• Functionality of the brakes
Alternately apply the handbrakes and push the
Metz moover forwards. If the handbrake is ap-
plied it must block the rear wheel, and if the
front wheel brake is applied it must cause the
rear wheel to li o the ground. In this case, the
steering mechanism must not rattle or allow for
backlash.
• Zero backlash of the folding joint of the handle-
bar column.
• To do so, place one hand around the folding
joint so that you clasp both the upper and lower
part. Forcefully move the steering column back
and forth. Movement must not be noticeable be-
tween both parts of the folding joint.
• Tyre pressure (front wheel and rear wheel 2.0-
4.0 bar / 30-55 psi)
• Tight t of all screws and nuts
• Anti-slip cover of the step
• Functionality of the bell
• Functionality of the lighting
• State of charge of the battery for the planned
journey
First li your Metz moover forwards and then back
with a slight li and allow it drop to the ground
from a height of approx. 10 cm. If you notice a rat-
tling or other unusual noises, have these checked
and rectied by a specialist dealer before you
drive o.
6
Check the tyres and rims. Look for damages, tears
and deformations, penetrated foreign objects, e.g.
glass splinters or sharp rocks.
Do not drive o if you nd any cuts, tears or holes!
First have our Metz moover examined in a special-
ist workshop.
Before every ride
Regularly check the basic function of your Metz
moover (see page 5 “Before your rst jour-
ney”).
If you are not sure whether your Metz
moover is in a good technical state,
do not use it, instead take it to your
specialist dealer for the purposes of verica-
tion.
Frame, steering column, suspen-
sion, step and other safety-related
parts such as brakes, wheels and
the folding mechanism are subject to wear
and tear which can impair the operational
safety of these parts. If you discover that any
components are deformed or partially bro-
ken, replace them immediately.
If the operating and service life of the com-
ponents has been exceeded, it could result
in sudden failure. This can lead to falls and
serious injuries.
Aer a fall, or if your Metz moover was
knocked over, you must perform these
tests prior to continuing your journey!
If you have fallen
Check the entire Metz moover for changes aer a
fall. These could include dents or tears in the frame
or brackets, as well as deformed components.
Bent or deformed components made
of aluminium are dicult to straight-
en aer a fall. Do not try and straight-
en these components. It may result in a com-
ponent failure. This could result in falls and
severe injuries.
If you notice a change on your Metz moover, do
NOT continue your journey. Take your Metz moover
to a specialist dealer, describe your fall and have
your Metz moover checked.
7
Statutory provisions
Find out about the applicable legal
practice prior to using your Metz
moover.
Dierent national regulations apply in part to the
technical equipment, e.g. lighting system and the
mandatory possession of a driver’s licence when
operating an electrically-assisted scooter.
The Metz moover can only be used on public roads
if it corresponds to the respectively applicable
requirements and if the driver has the necessary
driver’s licence.
Intended Use
Metz moovers are only to be used as
a means of transport for one single
person. Driving with a second per-
son and drawing a trailer is not permitted and
it can result in a fall and serious injuries.
The minimum age to drive a Metz
moover is 14.
The maximum permissible total
weight is 110 kg. This is composed of
the weight of the vehicle, driver and
baggage.
Intended use also includes compliance with the
operating, maintenance and servicing conditions.
You will nd them on page 21.
If it is equipped, as prescribed in the national leg-
islation, the Metz moover can be used on streets
and surfaced roads.
The manufacturer and merchant are not respon-
sible for use that is contrary to the intended use.
This is particularly applicable to non-compliance
with the safety instructions and the resulting dam-
ages. The same applies to:
• Use in the area
• Overloading (max. permissible total weight: 110 kg)
• Improper removal of damages
• Driving through water puddles
• Drawing of trailers
Metz moovers are not designed for extreme loads,
e.g. driving across steps or jumps, tricks or aero-
batic manoeuvres.
8
Initial start-up
Adjusting the handlebar height
The steering column is adjustable in
height and also easily adjusted aer
releasing the quick clamp.
The quick clamps are devices that can fasten com-
ponents in lieu of a bolted connection. The opera-
tion takes place via two elements: Use the quick-
release lever to generate the necessary clamping
force and use the adjusting nut to regulate how
rmly it is clamped. This setting is carried out
when the quick-release lever is opened.
The quick clamp closes with the cor-
rect holding force, if the counter-
pressure can be felt from the middle
of the leverage and the force of the ball of the
thumb at the end of the leverage is needed to
completely close the lever.
• The quick clamp must be rmly
closed before you drive o.
• Check the correct t of the quick
clamp, even if the Metz moover was parked
unattended even for a short period.
• In a closed condition, the quick-release
lever must lie as close as possible to the
steering column. Then it cannot be opened
by a contact during the journey.
Loosen the adjusting nut
Tighten the adjusting nut
To safely use the Metz moover, the
steering column must be in the stop
position and the quick clamp must
be closed.
Adjusting it to you body height:
• Release the quick clamp.
• Stand on the centre of the step with one leg and
hold both handles.
• Now adjust the height of the steering column.
The suitable stop position is achieved, once
your arms are bent at slightly less than 90 de-
grees.
• Now close the quick clamp.
Never release the clamping screws be-
low the sha of the handlebar. These
are only used to position the steering
column and not to adjust the height.

Using the quick clamp to
adjust the handlebar height
Do not unscrew the locking
screws used to fasten the
handlebar
Maximum pullout height
Only pull the steering column up-
wards until the safety bolts click into
place in the stop position. The steer-
ing column must never be pulled out further
than this point. The steering column must not
be changed or extended!
Maximum pullout height
Minimum pullout height
The lowest position is achieved once
the safety bolts snap into place in
the lower stop position.

Folding mechanism
The Metz moover can be folded to-
gether for storage and better trans-
port.
Folding the Metz moover together
A Fold “flat”
You can also fold your Metz moover
even if the steering column is not in-
serted. This just means it will be
slightly longer when it is folded.

Battery
The battery of your Metz moover is
rmly tted and CANNOT be re-
moved. It is located in the central
carrier of the moover, below the step. Please
always contact your specialist dealer for any
questions regarding the repair of your battery
or if you have a question or problems or dis-
cover a defect. The lack of expertise can lead
to serious accidents and damages!
Safety instructions
Only charge your battery with the
specied battery charger. There is a
risk of re if you use another battery charger.
• Avoid any severe impacts. It could result in fluid
escaping the battery, re and explosion.
• Do not apply excessive force on to the moover. If
the battery is deformed, it may damage the inte-
grated protective mechanism. It could result in
re and explosion.
• Do not use the battery if it is damaged. The liq-
uid contained can escape and in the event of
eye contact, it could result in the loss of sight!
• Never open the battery. This can cause a short-
circuit. Any warranty or guarantee claim will be
void if the battery is opened.
• Do not store or carry the moover with metal ob-
jects that could short-circuit the battery, e.g.
oce clips, nails, screws, keys, and coins. A
short-circuit can result in burns or re.
• Keep the moover away from heat, e.g. even ex-
cessive solar radiation and re. There is risk of
explosion.
• Protect the battery against water and other liq-
uids. In the event of contact, it may result in
damages to the protective circuit and the pro-
tective mechanism of the battery. This can result
in re and explosion.
• Do not clean the moover with a high pressure
cleaner. To clean the moover, use a damp cloth
and gentle cleaning agents.

Use and storage of the battery
You can use your Metz moover at
temperatures between – 10 and + 40
degrees Celsius.
Store the battery/Metz moover in a dry and well-
ventilated place. Temperatures between 5 °C to
35 °C are recommended.
If you do not require the battery/Metz moover for a
longer period of time, e.g. a period of 3 – 6 months
during winter, then best store the battery/Metz
moover with a charger status of 40 – 60%. This re-
sults in a slower ageing of the battery than if it is
fully charged. Check this charger status every 12
weeks and charge if necessary.
Make sure that the battery is not discharged for a
longer period because a total discharge can result
in irreversible cell damage.
In the event of a deep discharge: If the battery is
discharged, it must be charged within 2 – 3 days in
order to avoid a total discharge.
Battery charger
Observe the instructions on the bat-
tery charger prior to charging the
battery.
• Only use the battery charger in dry rooms and
never cover it during operation. Else there is a
risk of a short-circuit or re.
• Do not charge the battery immediately aer a
journey as it may still be warm.
• Switch the electrical system o prior to charging
the battery.
• Pay attention to the supply voltage when con-
necting the battery charger! The voltage of the
power source must conform to the specica-
tions on the type plate of the battery charger.
• If you clean the battery charger, always discon-
nect it from the power source.
• Once the charge process is complete, the bat-
tery charger must be disconnected from the
power supply.
For safety reasons the battery charg-
er must be placed on a dry and non-
flammable substrate during the
charge process.
A faulty battery must not be charged
or used. The battery may feel warm
during charging. In doing so, a tem-
perature of maximum 45° C is still considered
to be acceptable. If the temperature is higher,
the charge process is automatically interrupt-
ed.
Charge the battery
Please note that in the event of a
sudden change in temperature from
cold to warm may it result in the for-
mation of condensation on the contacts of
the charging socket. Avoid doing so by stor-
ing your Metz moover where you charge it.
Only use the specied battery charger or one
that was approved by the manufacturer to
charge your device.
It is best to charge the battery in a
warm environment than a cold one.
The approved charging tempera-
tures are between 0 and + 40 degrees Celsi-
us.
If it is particularly cold, it is advantageous to store
and charge the vehicle in a warm environment be-
cause this shortens the charge time.
The connector for the charging cable is located on
the front on the le side of the step.
