Safety measures
Important: Please read the safety measures before using the scooter bike!
Ensure the scooterbike is in good condition each time before using it. Check
before each ride that the brakes are in order. Check the lighting and make
sure there is enough tyre pressure (recommended: 3 bar).
Always get a punctured tyre repaired before using the scooter bike. To avoid
damage to the wheels or other parts.
Regularly check if the wheels, the handlebars and the seat are properly fixed
and also that all the screw connections are tight enough.
Only use the scooter bike on a solid and flat surface.
Soft, slippery or uneven terrain increases the risk of dangerous situations.
Make sure that wide trousers or lose hanging clothing don’t get caught in the
chain, spokes or pedals.
Take care that fingers and limbs do not get trapped while folding up or down
the foot rest and armrests.
Be aware of the protruding parts on the scooter bike. These could cause
damage to the surroundings and the scooter bike.
Do not use a pressure washer or a steam cleaner for the cleaning of the
scooter bike.
Use the parking brake when you park (and leave) the scooter bike. Use the
parking brake, even while getting on or off the bike to prevent its accidental
movement.
Always switch off and lock the scooter bike when leaving it unattended. This
prevents the unwanted use and / or theft.
This scooter bike is suitable for transporting a single person.
Only use original Van Raam parts and accessories.
Ride carefully on roads that are slippery due to rain, ice or snow.

Watch out for overturning
when riding up a slope.
The scooter bike is equipped
with ascent limiters to
limit the risk of overturning.
Avoid slopes steeper than 6º.
Riding this scooter bike (forward
or in reverse) on steep slopes
can be dangerous.
Please note that the stopping distance could be greater on a slope as
compared to a horizontal surface.
Make sure that no dangerous speed develops when driving downhill and
entering tunnels. Brake on time and don’t ride faster than 25 kilometres per
hour.
Ride carefully along (pavement) edges. An uneven surface increases the
risk of overturning.
Turn around carefully on a steep slope to avoid the risk of overturning.
Always get on and off a pavement in a forward straight
line, using a curb cut. Do this at an appropriate speed.
The maximum bump height that you can
get on and off is 5 cm.
In case of pregnancy, extra care is required owing to a higher risk of injury.
Do not put the scooter bike in direct sunlight: the temperature of some parts
could reach above 41ºC resulting in possible hypersensitivity of the skin.
When transporting the scooter bike in a motor vehicle,
always make sure you are seated in a fixed seat
of the motor vehicle. Scooter bikes may never be
used as seating support in a motor vehicle, not even
when the scooter bike is secured with a taxi restraint
system.
Never lift the scooter bike holding the batteries
or the plastic parts at the back.

Practise the reversing and acceleration functions of the electric motor.
Always pay attention when you turn on the electric motor and do not be
surprised by the sudden behavior of the electric motor.
Please be careful not to switch on the reverse function of the electric motor
inadvertently.
Road safety
If you are under the influence of medicines that may affect your ability to
drive, you are not allowed to drive a scooter bike.
Your vision must be adequate to drive the scooter bike safely in any situation
that may occur during use.
Please follow the relevant traffic rules that apply.
Make sure that you are always noticed by the other road users. As a user of
a scooter bike you are very vulnerable in traffic.
Switch off the electrical system if you are using your mobile phone.
You need to be at least 16 years of age to ride a scooter bike.
Only enter the sidewalk or a pedestrian area in the scooter mode when the
engine is active at level 1.
Load
The maximum load should not be exceeded. See information in the index of technical
details on page 22. By permitted load we mean the total load, including the load in the
basket or on the luggage rack.
Make sure that the permitted basket weight is not exceeded (maximum 20 kg). You
may not carry passengers in the basket and you may not place luggage anywhere
else on the bike. Do not allow anyone to stand on the rear side of your scooter bike.
Note that a basket full of luggage can considerably influence the driving. No luggage
may be carried on the handlebars of the bike, as it limits the manoeuvrability of the
scooter bike.
Damaged or worn out parts
The replacement and repair of parts (frame, forks, light, brakes, drive mechanism and
the handlebars) should always be performed by an authorised dealer. If not, the
guarantee ceases to be valid and you will be personally responsible in the event of
possible damage.
Specific safety parts should always be replaced by new parts!

Adjustments of the bike
Before using the scooter bike, adjust it to the measurements of the driver. This is of
great importance, especially the seat and the handlebars.
If an optimal adjustment of the scooter bike, as defined in the instructions, is
not possible, you can contact your dealer for a fitting solution.
The brakes are correctly adjusted and should only be adjusted by the dealer during
periodic maintenance.
Take care that fingers and limbs do not get trapped while adjusting the
scooter bike.
Seat
When the cyclist is sitting on the scooter bike
and can put a foot on the pedal in the lowest
position, the seat height is correct. Adjust
the seat height in such a way that the leg is
stretched but relaxed in that position.
Seat height
To adjust the height:
1. Loosen the two clamping levers.
2. Move the seat to the desired height and
tighten the clamping levers.
3. Pull out the clamping lever and set it in
such a position that it does not protrude.
Make sure clothing cannot get
caught in the clamping levers!
Ensure that the clamping levers are
always firmly tightened, even with the
seat in the lowermost position!

Seat depth
To adjust the depth:
1. Pull the lever up.
2. Move the seat to the correct position and
release the lever again.
Handlebars height
The height of the handlebars affects the
comfort of the ride. It determines the pressure
on the hands and the position of the back.
Determine your own most comfortable height
by using the bike.
To adjust the handlebars:
1. Slightly loosen the screw by using an Allen
key.
2. Move the handlebars to the correct height
and tighten the screw very firmly again.
Do not pull out the handlebars further than the
mark. Otherwise the tube will not be deep enough
in the shaft and will risk coming off, which can lead
to serious injuries.

Before first use
Parking brake
Always use the parking brake when
you park and leave the scooter bike,
by squeezing the left brake lever [A]
and fixing the brake with the small
lever [B].
Secondary brake
The secondary brake should be used during a
standstill so that the bike does not roll away.
Note that the secondary brake force is not
strong enough on a slope. For safety’s sake
always use the parking brake on a slope!
Lighting
The scooter bike is fitted with a headlight and
two rear lights. By turning on/off the system
the lighting will automatically go on/off. To
manually turn on/off the lighting you have to
push the on/off button for a short time. If the
on/off button is hold longer (two seconds) the
whole system will turn on/off.
When you will cycle in the dark, make sure the battery is on the scooter
bike. The lightning uses the power of the battery. As soon as the battery is
almost empty the electronic support will shut off but the lightning will keep
on working.
Adjusting headlight
Adjust the angle of the headlight in a way that
the center of the lightbeam is placed around
ten meter before the bike.
The USB port, which is located on the
headlight, has no function.
