The vehicle can be operated
completely emission-free thanks

to its electrical drive system.
The special high-voltage battery
supplies the electrical machine
with power.
The high-torque electrical ma-
chine ensures dynamic handling
in all driving situations, such as,
starting, accelerating and driving
at high speeds.
The high-voltage energy storage
system is charged via a charging
z
cable, when parked, for example,
or through energy recovery while
riding.
Special power supplies allow for
especially fast charging. But it
is also possible to charge the
vehicle using a common house-
hold power outlet, such as those
found in residential buildings.
Energy recovery
The high-voltage battery is
charged during the journey
through energy recovery. Energy
recovery ensures that very little
energy is lost during braking.
When the vehicle slows down
the electrical machine becomes
a generatorand converts into
electricity some or all of the
energy of motion released. This
partly recharges the high-voltage
battery, enabling the maximum
possible range. This sort of
charging can occur during the
journey in several different ways:
Throttle closed/coasting over-
run mode
When braking the E-Scooter

Anticipatory driving and timely
reduction of speed are important
for utilizing the vehicle's energy
recovery optimally.

General notes

NOTICE
Do not leave the E-Scooter with
a low charge for an extended pe-
riod of time.
Before extended idle periods,
consult the charge status indica-
tor to ensure that the high-volt-
age battery is fully charged. The
high-voltage battery will be dam-
aged if the charge is too low.
NOTICE
If the range is less than 18 miles,
charge the high-voltage battery
or there could be a noticeable
impact on the performance of the
electric drive.
