The most important recommendations are set out below: Use and maintenance SILENCE S01 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.
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: - Do not reduce the turning angle of the handlebar or interfere with the use of any of the controls.
Battery pack (“be”) The SILENCE S01 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.

“READY” appears on the speedometer and the green drive light (D) comes on. In this position, the key cannot be removed. In addition to the key, the Connected and Plus versions can be switched on via the “My Silence” app, which allows the scooter to be shared without the need for a physical key (although the handlebar must not be blocked).
The seat is opened 1) with the scooter’s key (see “Seat opening” section). In the S01 Standard, Connected and S01+, it can also be done by 2) braking with both levers, with the scooter turned on and the side stand deployed or 3) via the “My Silence” app (only for S01 Connected and S01+). To close it, lower it and press on the seat until it is locked.

The goal is to protect it while it is disconnected: WARNING: do not put the protective cap on while the scooter is plugged in and never get the connector wet (even with the cap on). MU_S01 MY22_EN - User Manual S01 MY22 (V006) Page 32 of 68...

(to prevent you from abusing this feature, since it should only be used in very specific situations). WARNING: When P2P mode is disabled, it goes into SPORT mode. Take into account the deceleration, as it can be relatively abrupt. MU_S01 MY22_EN - User Manual S01 MY22 (V006) Page 38 of 68...

CITY and ECO mode, without causing any critical element to overheat. If the vehicle is continuously used in SPORT mode (Connected, Standard and Plus variants), the battery pack (BP) could overheat; for this reason, SILENCE has developed a system that optimises the vehicle’s consumption and power to modify its performance while in use and avoid this type of problem.
“My Silence” app (only for connected versions) If there is one thing that characterises the S01 Connected and S01+, it is the possibility of linking it to your smartphone through the “My Silence” mobile application. The app allows you to be connected to your scooter from anywhere, being able to share it with whoever you want in complete safety.
Avoid all contact with water. If there is any indication or you suspect the battery pack has been used improperly or has fallen, do not plug it in. Call a SILENCE Official Service Centre, as this could be LIFE THREATENING.
BATTERY PACK Components The SILENCE S01 model has an innovative removable battery pack which, in addition to its basic internal systems, also has the following elements: Trolley-type removal system This system includes an extendable handle, two wheels and a support base (to use on flat, horizontal surfaces). To learn more about how to remove it from the scooter, see the “Removing the battery”...
Energy IN: On the one hand, you will find the power to charge the battery pack, which at SILENCE we call “Energy IN”. You can charge your battery directly from the mains with a normal socket, or find a charged pack at one of our Battery Swapping Stations (BSS).
Anything that needs electric power can be plugged into the inverter that SILENCE has developed to adapt the voltage to 700 W and power everything you use. Simply connect the battery pack to the inverter, which converts the voltage from 60 V to 220 V. It has 2 power points where you can plug in any electronic device or appliance (according to the power limits), wherever you are.
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 charge between the different cells, making sure the battery works at an optimal level.
Page 50
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_S01 MY22_EN - User Manual S01 MY22 (V006) Page 50 of 68...
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_S01 MY22_EN - User Manual S01 MY22 (V006) Page 51 of 68...
Recycling the battery pack S01 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. The pack 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 S01 in urban areas. If you use it for a purpose other than that for which it was manufactured 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, while clean and smooth ones will reduce scratching. Never use hard cloths or sponges. MU_S01 MY22_EN - User Manual S01 MY22 (V006) Page 58 of 68...
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_S01 MY22_EN - User Manual S01 MY22 (V006) Page 59 of 68...

Before the “D” icon lights up (scooter ready to drive), make sure that the braking system is working properly: squeeze the left and right brake levers at the same time to make sure there is resistance to the pressure on both. MU_S01 MY22_EN - User Manual S01 MY22 (V006) Page 61 of 68...
All of our scooters are examined carefully before they are sent to our dealer. Incidents may appear even 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.
Inspection: Scooter and Battery Each S01 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 done at the same time.
