Presentation; Driving - PEUGEOT Scoot'elec User Manual

Presentation

Your electric scooter is equipped with an 18 volt D.C. motor supplied by a traction battery (the term battery
covers all the monoblocs), made up of three 6 volt CADMIUM - NICKEL type batteries.
An electronic control unit (ECU) records, manages and checks the drivers commands, use of electric
power and operational safety.
An onboard charger allows the traction battery to be recharged.
WARNING
Do not fit any electric accessories (for example radio, CB or alarm) which have not been approved by
PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES as they could interfere with or damage onboard electronic systems.
Furthermore, during charging interference could affect radios or television sets within a 2m radius
around the scooter.
If you fit a windscreen -pay attention do not cut or pinch a electric cable . Dismantle the head light to lock
at the mounting of the windscreen

Driving

− Driving an electric scooter is similar to driving a combustion powered vehicle, but requires a few
specific precautions and getting used to.
− the maximum legal speed is 45km/h-28miles/h and the autonomy following a full charge gives
approximately one hour's driving .
To get the most out of your scooter's autonomy :
− adopt a relaxed style of driving avoiding harsh braking.
− to slow down, use the motor brake which can be obtained by releasing the accelerator handle;
furthermore, this deceleration allows energy to be recovered.
− make sure that tyres are at the right pressure (2.5 bars) and that the brake free travel is correctly
adjusted (page 18).
− preferably, carry out full charges, i.e., until the warning light goes out.
