    Charging, Instruments, Controls, and Equipment Charging WARNING! DO NOT plug the AC power cable directly into the charging socket on the bike. WARNING! Risk of overheating. Maintain air-flow around the charger at all times. DO NOT enclose it in a storage compartment or other unventilated space when charging.

  • Page 14: Understanding The Charger's Indicator Lights

    Charging, Instruments, Controls, and Equipment Understanding The Charger’s Indicator Lights The supplied MOTORINO™ charger is fully automatic and has two indica- tors lights to tell you what is happening. One red LED indicates that it is connected to power, while the second LED changes between red, to indicate “charging”...

  • Page 15: Instruments

    Charging, Instruments, Controls, and Equipment Instruments Whether analog or digital, all MOTORINO™s have gauges that tell you the same basic information. A speedometer, an odometer, and a voltmeter which is the EV equivalent of a gas gauge (but not quite). Typical gauge cluster.

  • Page 16: Indicator Lights

    Charging, Instruments, Controls, and Equipment The volt gauge will read “high” for most of the time the bike is switched on but stationary; only when the batteries are very weak will you see lower readings. The meaningful readings on a volt gauge only happen when a demand is being placed on the batteries.

  • Page 17: Controls And Equipment

    Charging, Instruments, Controls, and Equipment Controls and Equipment The controls of the MOTORINO™ are very similar to traditional motor scooters. However, be sure to familiarize yourself fully before setting off, regardless of your experience with other scooters. Main Circuit Breaker The main breaker has two functions –...

  • Page 18: Throttle Grip

    Charging, Instruments, Controls, and Equipment WARNING! Always firmly apply the brakes when switching the bike on, to avoid unintended acceleration. Do not switch the bike on until properly seated and ready to ride. On XPd models, there is a protective cover that must be moved out of the way of the lock cylinder using the tool built-in to the head of the ignition keys.

  • Page 19: Brakes

    Charging, Instruments, Controls, and Equipment WARNING! Always make sure the ignition switch is off before trying to walk or move the bike by pushing or grabbing the handlebars since it is very easy to unintentionally twist the throttle grip. Brakes Your new MOTORINO™...

  • Page 20: Headlight Main Switch

    Charging, Instruments, Controls, and Equipment Regenerative braking is engaged whenever the brake light comes on with operation of either brake lever. Lightly pulling on either lever just enough to make the brake light come on will cause the regenerative braking to do most of the work. Headlight Main Switch On the right-hand cluster, slide it to the middle position to turn on the running light(s), and all the way left to turn on the headlights.

  • Page 24: About The Electric Drive Train

    About the Electric Drive Train How it Works Compared to an internal combustion engine, your MOTORINO™’s drive system is elegantly simple. Electric power stored in the battery pack is supplied to the motor control- ler. The controller converts the battery’s direct-current to three-phase alternating-current and sends it to the direct-drive brush-less motor built into the rear wheel.

  • Page 25: Battery Information, Care, And Feeding

    Battery Information, Care, and Feeding Battery Types and Terms The XP-series use a 48 V (nominal voltage) battery pack comprised of four 12 V (nominal voltage) batteries. These batteries are electrically con- nected in series to form the 48 V battery “pack”. The battery chemistries presently used are either the standard Sealed Lead-Acid “Gel Cell”, or optional Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO ).

  • Page 26: Caring For Your Gel Cell Battery Pack

    Battery Information, Care, and Feeding in the standard battery pack or 1248 Wh for the LiFePO pack. Based on the above calculations, you can get a general idea of the cost of charging your MOTORINO™ by multiplying the watt-hours by your utility rate (usu- ally stated per 1000 Wh aka kWh.

  • Page 27: Caring For Your Lithium (Lifepo ) Battery Pack

    Battery Information, Care, and Feeding by regular use of a preventive desulfator attached to the normal charger (available as an accessory from your MOTORINO™ dealer). The real problems with sulfation tend to occur when bikes are not in regular use. When left (or allowed to become) discharged for too long , the lead-sulfate layer builds up to the point that the battery’s ability to take a charge and deliver power is negatively affected, often fatally.

  • Page 28: Battery Lifespan

    Battery Information, Care, and Feeding 2. Lithium batteries give less warning, via the stock capacity gauge, that you are running out of charge. Please see the section on interpreting the capacity gauge for more de- tails. 3. They prefer not to be deeply discharged Similar to gel-cells but to a much lesser degree, a Lithium battery pack will give more mileage over its lifetime if you minimize the depth of discharge.

  • Page 29: Battery Disposal And Recycling

    Battery Information, Care, and Feeding for electric scooters are substantially lighter than this because they are built from thinner plates of lead and/or have less active volume even though they are about the same dimensions. There is no such simple weight vs. quality indicator for lithium batteries, however.

  • Page 30: Maintenance

    Maintenance Maintenance Nobody can keep an eye on the condition of your MOTORINO™ like you can. It is up to you keep it maintained and obtain servicing as required. Being fully familiar with your MOTORINO™’s regular operation will also help you spot potential trouble before it becomes a breakdown. WARNING! Failure to maintain your MOTORINO as specified can result in...

  • Page 31: Maintenance Procedures

    Maintenance Check axle nuts/bolts, brake caliper bolts (pages 33, 34, 31, and 32). Inspect wires and cables on front fork and rear swing arms. Check circuit breaker terminals have not come loose (page 17). Every Six Months Check wheels for bearing play (page 37). Check steering column for bearing play (page 37).

  • Page 32: Caliper Mounting Plate Bolts

    Maintenance Caliper Mounting Plate Bolts See diagrams on page 32 and 33. These are the bolts that secure the brake caliper’s mounting plate to the fork (front) or reaction plate (rear). Front bolts are either M10 or M8 diameter, rears are almost always M8, and usually require a 12mm or 10mm socket or wrench.

  • Page 33: Front Axle Bolt

    Maintenance Front Axle Bolt See diagram on page 32. The front wheel is secured by a long bolt run- ning through the forks, hub bearings and spacers. Required wrench/ socket sizes are typically 17mm and 14mm on models with M12 axle bolts or 12mm and 14mm for M10 axle bolts.

  • Page 34: Rear Axle Nuts, Keeper Plate Bolt, And Chain Tension

    Maintenance Rear Axle Nuts, Keeper Plate Bolt, and Chain Tension See diagram on page 33. The rear axle (technically, the motor’s Stator shaft) is secured by means of keeper plates (to prevent shaft rotation and maintain position for chain tension adjustment) and a large nut on each side.

  • Page 35: Inspecting The Freewheel And Lubricating The Chain

    Maintenance WARNING! Use protective gloves when handling brake fluid since it is toxic. Heed all container warnings. Dispose of used brake fluid at ap- propriate waste depots. The brake fluid level is visible through a round sight glass window on the master cylinders.

  • Page 36: Checking Brake Pads And Rotors For Wear

    Maintenance Checking Brake Pads and Rotors for Wear Disc brake pads and rotors are critical safety components and should be checked regularly for function and wear. Worn-through brake pads will very quickly ruin the brake rotor, compounding the costs and increasing downtime, so it is a false economy to ever delay replacement.

  • Page 37: Lubricating Brake Lever Pivots

    Maintenance rear ride height and “hardness”. Inserting a suitable 6mm (1/4”) lever rod in the socket, the adjusting collar can be rotated to engage the desired step. The factory setting is for minimum preload which suits the vast ma- jority of riders. Please refer adjustment to your MOTORINO™ dealer if you are unsure of the mechanism or what is correct for you.

  • Page 38: Lubricating Center And Side Stand Pivot Points

    Maintenance Lubricating Center and Side Stand Pivot Points Apply SAE 30W oil or a multi-purpose spray-on chassis grease to the pivot bolts of both sides of the center stand and the side stand. Adjusting Seat Latch Release Cable On models with ignition switch- operated seat unlocking, there is an actuating cable running between the ignition switch and the latch.

  • Page 39: Tire Pressure

    Maintenance Tire Pressure Tire pressure is one of the most critical factors determining the effective range and efficiency of your MOTORINO™. We recommend maintaining the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewalls of your tires for maxi- mum efficiency and handling safety. WARNING! In addition to poor range and handling performance, low tire pressures can increase the load on the controller and motor...

  • Page 40: Checking Tires For Condition And Foreign Objects

    Maintenance The flat tire repair kit provided with your bike can make a quick and simple repair to most punctures. An internal patch is the ideal method for a more permanent repair, but is not practical on the roadside. An inner tube may also be retrofitted but negates the future possibility of repair by plug.

  • Page 41: Re-Seating A Tire

    Maintenance Before attempting to use the kit, be sure you have all three parts in-hand – a puncture prep tool (looks like an awl), a plug needle tool (looks like a large sewing needle with a handle), and a plug rope (looks like a gooey licorice stick, there are usually 5 in a kit and refills can be found at most auto parts stores).

  • Page 42: Motorino™ Love

    MOTORINO™ Love MOTORINO™ Love Your MOTORINO™ will run even better when it is clean and shiny. :-) Washing Use only a soft cloth, water, and a mild soap suitable for automotive finishes. Gently rain water down onto the bike, especially around the dash or wheels, being careful not to force it into areas it does not normally go.

  • Page 43: Storage

    Storage Storage All vehicles seem to do better when in regular use; components have a chance to warm up and air out, batteries stay charged, and tires and other rubber parts are kept pliable. CAUTION! The battery is the most perishable component on the bike; it must be stored charged to avoid degradation or serious damage.

  • Page 44: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting Troubleshooting The following information is intended to help you get going in the case of a simple problem, and to give an idea if something requires expert atten- tion. The causes/solutions are presented with the most-likely ones first. Nothing happens when the ignition is turned ON; the motor does not activate at all, no lights appear on the dash, and there’s no reading on the volt gauge.
  • Page 45 Troubleshooting The bike has limited range. Tire pressures may be low. Check and inflate (page 39). Bike is over-loaded. Reduce cargo weight; remove unnecessary items from storage compartments. Check circuit breaker connections (page 17). Review charging procedures, make sure a full charge is being given (page 13).
  • Page 46 Troubleshooting Brakes are noisy. 1. Metal-on-metal contact. Check brake pads for wear (page 36). 2. Non-wear related brake squeal. This is mainly just an annoyance and is quite normal for disc brakes. If the pads are OK and the noise goes away when braking harder, a special anti-squeal spray can be applied to the rotor to suppress the noise.
