Do you accept SILENCE's challenge to improve our cities? Before you drive S02 LS for the first time, read this user manual, ensuring your safety and preventing damage to the vehicle or third parties. Always take your scooter to a SILENCE Official Service Centre for maintenance.
Please read the whole manual carefully and pay special attention to the safety instructions. It explains everything you need to know as an S02 LS driver. It should be considered part of the scooter, so if you sell the scooter, the manual must go with it.
1) Use and maintenance SILENCE S02 LS is an urban scooter designed to be used only on roads, carrying at most the driver and one passenger. It is also important to respect the maximum load indicated in the "Carrying loads" section.
4) Accessories and modifications We recommend using only original SILENCE accessories, as they have been designed and tested to ensure they work properly with this model of scooter. If you use other accessories or modify them in any way, you must make sure they are installed and chosen properly, so that they: Don’t reduce the turning radius of the handlebar or interfere with the use of any of the controls.
1) Battery pack (“be”) The SILENCE S02 LS model has an innovative removable battery pack with a handle and wheels so it can be transported like a trolley, called “be”. This means you can charge it on the scooter or wherever you want, simply by taking the battery to a power source.

4) Battery management system (BMS) This battery has a BMS (Battery Management System), which controls parameters such as temperature and voltage. It was developed by the SILENCE R&D team and plays a very important role in balancing the individual charge of each cell and the overall charge of each series of cells, making sure the battery works at an optimal level.

Batteries that fall below a certain level of voltage no longer work on their own, meaning they cannot be charged and must be taken to an Official Service Centre. MU_S02 LS_EN - S02 LS User Manual (V002) Page 45 of 62...
To get as precise a reading as possible for the state of charge (SoC, in %) , make sure that the battery is charged up to 100% of its capacity (at least after 3 or 4 partial charging processes). MU_S02 LS_EN - S02 LS User Manual (V002) Page 46 of 62...
1) Recycling the battery pack S02 LS battery packs that have reached the end of their service life must be disposed of in compliance with the applicable regulations and always respecting the environment. The Law prohibits disposing of battery packs in domestic waste containers. It must be deposited at an authorised SILENCE Service Centre to ensure it is recycled properly, reducing its environmental impact.
DISCLAIMERS These instructions were drafted for owners that will only use the S02 LS in urban areas. If you use it for a purpose other than that for which it was intended or constantly drive at a high speed or in overly damp or dusty conditions, you will have to service the scooter more often. Always read the instructions before starting and make sure you have all the materials you need and a clear idea of what you are going to do.
When you dry your scooter, always use a clean and smooth cloth. Dirty or rough cloths can scratch the flat, shiny surfaces and clean and smooth ones will reduce scratching. Never use hard cloths or sponges. MU_S02 LS_EN - S02 LS User Manual (V002) Page 52 of 62...
Replace any parts that don’t work properly or have been damaged before driving. When the speedometer lights do not work properly, they start flashing more quickly to indicate that there is some sort of problem. MU_S02 LS_EN - S02 LS User Manual (V002) Page 53 of 62...

All of our scooters are examined carefully before they are sent to our distributor. Incidents may appear after the scooter is inspected. The following table offers guidelines for identifying the problem and, if possible, repairing it yourself. If you cannot solve the problem, take the scooter to the SILENCE Official Service Centre, so it can be inspected and repaired if needed.
The battery must be charged fully once every 30 days to ensure the validity of the warranty. TECHNICAL NOTICE: Silence vehicles feature an internal communication bus (CAN bus), which is used by all electronic devices to communicate and ensure proper functioning of the vehicle: Electronic Control Unit (ECU), Battery Management System (BMS), Motor Control Unit (MCU) Telematics Control Unit (TCU), among others.
3) Inspection: Scooter and battery Each S02 LS must pass a series of regular inspections, based on the kilometres travelled or at least once a year (if the scooter has not travelled the kilometres necessary to require an inspection within a year). The same is true for the battery packs (be), which have their own inspection intervals. For batteries purchased with the scooter, the inspections will be the same as for the scooter and must be passed at the same time.
