Vehicle Identification Chassis number The vehicle’s chassis number (VIN) is engraved into the front chassis structure on the right side. The manufacturer’s data plate The manufacturer’s data plate contains the vehicle’s identification number (VIN), and type-approval. The data plate is located under the seat on the left side. Registration number The vehicle’s registration number is located below the cargo zone in the rear of the vehicle, just as on an ordinary car.
Safety instructions Paxster is electrically powered. This is a different technology than internal combustion engines and therefore requires a different attention. If you pay attention to the points described below, you will safeguard both yourself and the vehicle. Caution when handling charger and battery All handling of the vehicle’s battery charger shall be performed with great caution.
By active use of the regenerative brake, you extend the vehicles range. The theoretical range of Paxster is in the interval of 40-100 km or 4-10 hours of active mail/parcel distribution. Higher speed means higher energy consumption.
Tips when starting on a steep hill: • Place the vehicle in Power-mode. • Hold the rear brake (left lever) in at the same time as you turn up the throttle, then release the brake. If the vehicle is released backward before you turn up the throttle, you will use considerably more energy getting under way.

The signals should be interpreted in the following way: 1 pulse: Pre-heating. This means that the battery is too cold, and the battery heater has been activated. The BMS system waits until the battery has reached charge temperature. 2 pulses: Pre-charge. Pre-charge is something that happens if the battery is completely discharged. In that case, you need to charge with a low current until all of the cells have reached a certain voltage.
