The scooter has been equipped with an
automatic circuit breaker (A).
In normal circumstances, the automatic
circuit breaker will not pop out and the
scooter will be ready for use.
When the electric circuit is overloaded or
shorted, the automatic circuit breaker will
switch off the electric system to prevent
damage.
Overload can be caused if the motor is
overheated. If the automatic circuit
breaker switches off the electric circuit of
the scooter, it will pop out.
The automatic circuit breaker is located on the rear cover under the seat.
By pressing the automatic circuit breaker back in again, you can try to restart
the scooter. If the automatic circuit breaker pops out again, wait 15 to 20
minutes to allow the motor to cool off, and then try resetting again.
