Silence S01 my22 User manual

USER MANUAL

(V002)

MY22

We present the new S01 electric scooter, a model equivalent to a 125 cm3, designed for urban use and 100% Made in Barcelona.

S01, the electric scooter with the best battery. Created, designed and patented by SILENCE, this is a trolley-type removable battery with wheels, which breaks

the barriers of charging points, allowing the user to comfortably and safely carry the battery and charge it in any conventional power point: at home, in the

office, in a bar ... It can be charged anywhere, without the need for a specific charging point or infrastructure.

This model is divided into 3 variants: Basic, Connected and Standard (all with L3e homologation).

The Basic variant has a maximum speed of 85 km/h, and it has a 4.1 kWh battery, which allows it to reach a range of around 100 km..

The Connected variant has a maximum speed of 100 km/h and a range of around 133 km thanks to a 5.6 kWh battery. It also has a TCU device that, thanks to

the “My Silence” app, allows you to link the motorcycle to your smartphone, being able to control it at any time and even share it with whoever you want. It

also has a USB power socket, for charging your mobile phone, for example.

On the other hand, the Standard variant shares with the Connected variant all the features detailed in this manual, except that it does not incorporate a TCU

device, and therefore cannot make use of the associated app.

In summary, a new zero-emission scooter packed with technology features and an attractive design, to ensure a safe, modern and silent urban driving

experience. The best way to accelerate in the change towards sustainable urban mobility.

Do you accept SILENCE's challenge to improve our cities?

Before you ride your S01 for the first time, read this user manual, ensuring your safety and preventing damage to the vehicle or third parties. Always take your

scooter to a SILENCE Official Service Centre for maintenance.

Enjoy smooth riding, with no noises or vibrations. Thank you for choosing a SILENCE S01!

Please read the whole manual carefully and pay special attention to the safety instructions. It explains everything you need to know as an S01 driver. It should

be considered part of the scooter, so if you sell the scooter, the manual must go with it.

The information in this manual is the most recent available for this model as of the date of approval for publication/printing. Scutum Logistic S.L. reserves the

right to make changes at any time and without prior notice, without incurring any obligation. No part of this manual may be reproduced without written

authorisation.

The images in this manual may show optional accessories installed (not included in standard models), as well as elements with colours that may differ in real

Driving a vehicle requires your full attention and can affect your own safety and that of others. You are therefore responsible for taking any precautions

necessary to minimise the risks when using your SILENCE S01.

This section in particular, and the manual in general, provides information and recommendations to make driving your scooter as safe as possible. However, it

cannot take into account or warn you of all of the dangers associated with driving a vehicle and its maintenance, which is why you must use common sense to

enjoy your scooter with minimum risk. The most important recommendations are set out below.

1) Use and maintenance

SILENCE S01 is an urban scooter designed to be used only on roads, carrying at most the driver and one passenger. It is also important to respect the maximum

load indicated in the "Carrying loads" section.

Respect your limits while driving: Take your personal abilities and the road conditions into account to drive safely. Do not overestimate them and allow for

unforeseen events.

Do not drink or take drugs before driving: Your reactions will be impaired and so will your ability to avoid unexpected hazards. Do not let anyone else drive in

that condition either.

Consider other factors: Also take other factors into account that affect driving, such as prescription drugs, tiredness or lack of attention.

Properly maintain the scooter: Just as you have to be in good shape to drive, it is your responsibility to check and maintain your scooter before driving,

following the instructions in this manual (refer to the "MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE" section). Inadequate or no maintenance is a risk factor.

2) Clothing and protection

For your safety and that of the passenger, we recommend wearing

the right protective clothing when driving the scooter. Although it

does not provide total protection, it can considerably reduce the

probabilities of injury and the seriousness of the consequences.

Consult a specialist to choose the clothing that best suits you.

Always wear a helmet: Proper use of a helmet is basic and

obligatory, both for the driver and for the passenger. It must be

homologated, in good condition and fastened properly. Helmets

reduce the number of head injuries and their seriousness. We

recommend using full face helmets (that cover the whole head)

instead of open face helmets (jet or three-quarter helmets), in

light, bright colours or with reflector strips, that are lightweight

and fit properly.

Protect your eyes: Always use eye protection, either the visor of

the helmet or the appropriate glasses.

Other garments: Wear stiff boots and leather gloves to protect

your feet, ankles and hands from scratches, cuts and bruises. Wear

a suit or jacket and trousers specifically designed for use on a

scooter. These should be form-fitting and the right size, and we

recommend they have reflector strips.

These recommendations also apply to any passenger.

Always wear a helmet

and eye protection (visor

or glasses)

Wear gloves

Wear snug-fitting footwear, with a low heel

and protect your ankles

Wear snug-fitting and

bright-coloured or

reflective clothing

3) Carrying loads

This scooter is designed to be driven safely as long as the maximum load capacity and its distribution are respected. Failure to do so may compromise the

stability, braking and manoeuvrability of the scooter.

The maximum weight of the scooter must not exceed 320 kg, including the vehicle itself with its battery and accessories, the driver and the passenger (when

applicable), and the load. The weight carried must be distributed evenly between the two axles, and must not exceed 102 kg on the front axle or 218 kg on the

rear axle.

Remember that the weight of any accessories installed will reduce the weight of the maximum load that the scooter can carry.

Recommendations

-Distribute the load evenly on the scooter, and try to keep it as close to the centre as possible.

-Make sure the load is firmly strapped down, and avoid carrying loose objects.

-Always make sure tyres are properly inflated, and adjust the rear suspension to suit the specific load in each case.

4) Accessories and modifications

We recommend using only original SILENCE accessories, as they have been designed and tested to ensure they work properly with this model of scooter. If you

use other accessories or modify them in any way, you must make sure they are installed and chosen properly, so that they:

-Do not reduce the turning angle of the handlebar or interfere with the use of any of the controls.

-Do not reduce the side angle of inclination or distance to the ground.

-Do not interfere with visibility or the beam of any of the lights.

-Do not tamper with the electrical or electronic components of the scooter.

-Comply with legal regulations.

1) Battery pack (“be”)

The SILENCE S01 model has an innovative removable battery pack with a

handle and wheels so it can be transported like a trolley, called “be”. This

means you can charge it on the scooter or wherever you want, simply by

taking the battery to a power source. This battery pack can also be used on

other scooters, or even used to power other devices.

For more information, refer to the “BATTERY PACK” section, which describes

all the features and functions of your new battery.

2) Motor (rear wheel)

On the rear wheel, this scooter has a 100% electric motor with Brushless

technology, direct transmission and an air cooling system.

Its nominal power is 7 kW and it has a maximum speed of 85 km/h (S01 Basic,

limited to 5 kW) or 100 km/h (S01 Connected).

3) Dashboard

The dashboard provides you with all of the information you need about the

scooter in order to drive it.

It features an LCD screen, 2 buttons (“SET” and “INFO”) and 10 hazard lights,

which are explained below.

a) LCD display

Charge level indicator

The top of the display shows the battery's state of charge (SoC). This is shown as a percentage, so when the battery

is completely discharged it will read 0% and when it is fully charged it will show 100%.
