Summary of Contents for SILENCE S01

  • Page 1 OWNER’S MANUAL...
  • Page 2 Do you dare improve cities with SILENCE? Before you start driving your S01 for the first time, please read this owner’s manual for your own safety and to prevent any damage to the vehicle or third parties. To service the vehicle, always take it to a SILENCE Official Service Centre.

  • Page 3: About This Manual

    ABOUT THIS MANUAL 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.

  • Page 4: Use And Maintenance

    1. Use and maintenance The SILENCE S01 is an urban scooter designed to be used on the road only, carrying at most the driver and one passenger. It is also important to respect the maximum load indicated in the corresponding section.
  • Page 5 The scooter is NOT prepared for regular motorway use, although it can be done sporadically. The vehicle is designed to go at a steady speed of 85 km/h without any critical elements overheating. If the vehicle is used in Sport mode all the time, the battery pack (BP) could overheat. So, SILENCE has developed a system that optimises the vehicle’s power use and output to modify settings on the go and avoid this type of issues.
  • Page 6 Clothing should never be Always wear a helmet. Also protect loose your face (visor or glasses) Wear bright colours or reflectors Wear gloves Shoes should fit properly, have a low heel and protect your ankles Copyright© SILENCE Urban Ecomobility...
  • Page 7 – 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 tied down, avoid carrying loose objects. – Always make sure tyres are properly inflated, and adjust the rear suspension to suit the specific load in each case.

    10) Note - Lifespan of Power Battery Packs When the lifespan of your S01 battery pack comes to an end, you can hand it in to an authorised SILENCE service centre to be processed properly, limiting its effect on the environment.

  • Page 55: Maintenance Schedule

    DISCLAIMERS - These instructions were drafted for owners that will only use the S01 in urban areas. If you will use it for a purpose other than that for which it was intended or drive steadily at a high speed or in overly damp or dusty conditions, you will have to service the scooter more often.

  • Page 56: Check Before Driving

    2) Lights and indicators Replace any parts that don’t work properly or have been damaged before driving. When the speedometer lights don’t work properly, they start blinking more quickly to indicate that there is some sort of problem. Copyright© SILENCE Urban Ecomobility...

  • Page 57: Brake Fluid

    The brake liquid should never fall below the MIN line on the tank. Air can get into the tank if it is empty, which can cause problems in the scooter’s braking system and compromise safety on the road. Levels should always be checked and the fluid must be changed every 2 years. If there is not enough fluid, add more. Copyright© SILENCE Urban Ecomobility...

  • Page 58: Brake Lever

    If you get brake fluid on your skin, wash it off immediately with water. If you get brake fluid in your eyes, flush with water and seek medical attention quickly. d) Brake lever If you find the brake levers too loose, and the brake pads are still in good condition, take the scooter to the official point-of-sale as soon as possible to have it checked: Copyright© SILENCE Urban Ecomobility...

  • Page 59: Solving Problems

    All of our scooters are examined carefully before being sent to our distributor. Even though the scooters are carefully inspected, some issues may arise. The following table offers guidelines for identifying the problem and, if possible, repairing it yourself. If you can’t resolve the problem on your own, take your scooter to the point-of-sale for the necessary repairs. Copyright© SILENCE Urban Ecomobility...

  • Page 64 C. INSPECTIONS: SCOOTER & BATTERY Each S01 must pass a series of periodic inspections, based on the kilometres travelled or at least once a year (if the scooter has not been driven the kilometres necessary to require an inspection within the past year). The same is true of the battery packs (be), which have their own inspection points. For batteries purchased with the scooter, the inspections will be the same as the scooter and must be passed at the same time.
