Fuse Replacement
Fuse replacement: When the frequent fuse failure* occurs, it usually indicates short circuit or an overload in the electrical system or in the
controller.
Never use the fuse with different rating from the specified (20Amp)** because due to this, serious damage can occur in the electrical
system or a fire may result causing a dangerous loss of the vehicle.
Fuse Replacement Process:
Switch OFF the ignition lock before checking or replacing the fuse (to prevent an accidental short circuit)
*If the appropriate rated replaced fuse burns out in a short time, there is probably a serious electrical problem with your bike, in such case
contact your nearest franchisee.
** Replace the fuse with proper rated new fuse (20 Amp) as higher rated fuse can increase the chance of danger to the electrical system.
*** A loose fuse can cause damage to the electrical system, so make sure that the replaced fuse is plugged inside tightly.
a) Remove the foot mat b) Open the battery lock c) Take out the battery box d) To open the fuse holder,
turn the fuse cap anti-
clock wise and lift out the
fuse. Slide the old fuse out
of the cap and discard it.
e) Insert the new fuse back
into the fuse holder and
close the fuse cap rotating
clockwise.***

Tyre Replacement Process
You can follow the normal tyre puncture repairing process:
a) Open the seat lock b) Remove the helmet box c) Disconnect 3 thimbles and one 5 pin
c o u p l e r t o d i s c o n n e c t m o t o r
connections.
d) Remove the swing arm covers, wheel
adjusting bolt, break wire and one bolt &
nut of the break panel by using 10mm
spanner.
e) Remove the wheel excel nut
with the help of 22mm spanner.
f) Take out the rear wheel and make
the puncture.

Safety Concerns
?Always wear a helmet
?
?Always keep you eZipp in an excellent condition and check it
before you ride it.
?
?Keep a safe distance between yourself and the vehicle in front of
you.
?
?The liquid that leaks out of the battery is an electrolyte that is
harmful to your skin and eyes. Avoid contact with it and if in case
you do get in contact with it, please wash your hand with water
immediately and seek immediate medical attention.
?
?Lock you vehicle whenever it is not in use.
