5. Helpful Tips

1.1 Pre-ride activities

Before riding scooter make sure that:

• The charging plug is out of the socket
• The battery is sufficiently charged
• The lighting, turn signals, and horn function properly
• The mirrors are adjusted for proper use
• There is the correct air pressure and proper tread depth in tires
• The brakes work properly (braking test while pushing the scooter)
• There is the correct level of braking fluid and that the brake pads are not worn out.
• It is easy to turn the handlebars without resistance, fully left and right
• There is proper belt tension

1.2 Clothing

• Always ride in proper clothes and proper helmet.
• Wear tight fitting and comfortable clothing
• Wear proper boots (don't ride in high heels, flip-flops, or similar open footgear)

Inadequate clothing may become a threat to safe riding!

1.3 Riding technique

• Vehicle should be ridden carefully and sensibly
• Always hold the handlebars with two hands
• While turning the rider and passenger should tilt along with the scooter
• Particular wariness is recommended while riding on poorly hardened or wet road surfaces
• Pay attention to atypical sounds or behavior of the scooter while riding

1.4 Carrying cargos and passengers

• In order to carry objects or bags one should explicitly use top case, under seat trunk or a hook for bags. The maximum weight allowance for top case is 5kg .
• Maximum scooter weight allowance must not be exceeded (150kg including passengers' weight)
• The scooter is allowed to carry maximum 2 persons

1.5 After riding

• Check if the battery needs charging.

Riding with low level of battery signifi cantly decreases its life.

Battery life can be extended by recharging it each time with use of originally installed GOVECS charger. There is no risk of overcharging, because after reaching maximum charging level the charger disconnects automatically (even though the fen is still working).

No light 100% charged 100% charged

Charging cable can be used for all sockets type E/F or CEE 7/4 with specification 16A/250V.

Charging time of empty battery is about 4-5 hours.

Battery should be charged each time it is possible since it extends its lifetime.

Charging phase is visible on Battery signal light on speedometer.

Avoid riding with not fully charged battery since it decreases its lifetime. There is no possibility to overcharge the battery.

Important note: battery requires to be charged at least once a month, even if you do not use your scooter.

Do not load the battery at temperature lower than -10 degrees.

2.11 Handle

Handle (1) allows passenger to hold during riding. Moreover, the handle is helpful while positioning the vehicle on center stand. GO!S2.4 is equipped with handle that is also a top case holder (2).

Hook for bags (1) can be used to hang bags.

Hook has protection, which prevents from unfastening and loosing the bag.

In order to hang a bag the operator should expand the hooks in directions showed with arrows.

Remember that while turning the vehicle the swinging bags may affect riding.

Hook for bags

2.14 Lighting

Each time, before riding the lighting installation should be checked in respect of its functionality, damages, and settings.

• Head-light (n + n high beam) and parking light
• Front and rear turn signals
  Tail light
• Brake light for front and rear brake
  Number-plate light

Due to the fact that the LED energy-saving bulbs were used in GOVECS scooters, in case of abnormal functioning or damage of lighting installation, at GOVECS service station.

2.15 Tires

It is necessary to check tires before riding for possible damages or lack of air.

Too low air pressure or worn out tires have negative impact on the scooter's performance during riding and reducing the scooters' range.

Tires can be replaced only at the GOVECS service station.

Air pressure in tires can be checked and adjusted at every petrol station. Pressure in tires should be checked once a week and after longer periods of downtime.

Airpressure Without load With load (2 persons)

Braking system is the safety system of the vehicle. For personal safety one should particularly consider condition of braking system.

The following elements of braking system should be checked before riding:

1. Braking fluid level (see point 2.17).
2. Seal of the braking system.
3. Performance control.

In order to check performance of the brakes the operator should push the scooter several meters. While pushing squeeze the front brake and then the rear brake, one at a time. During braking test the scooter should be firmly held, which will prevent it from falling over.

Note! Maintenance works and repair of the braking system are only allowed at GOVECS service stations.

elektrischecooterwinkel,

2.17 Control of braking liquid level

Braking liquid level should be checked each time before riding.

• Position the vehicle on the center stand
• Turn the handlebar to the left
• Check the level on the sight-glass from the right side of the vehicle - It must fit between upper and lower edge of the sight-glass.

Absence of visible liquid in the sight-glass means damage of braking system.

Scooter should not be used until the braking system is repaired at the GOVECS service station.

2.18 Control of belt tention

The belt tension should be 80-85 Hz which can be measured with a standard Trummeter for measuring belt tensions. Please contact your service station for measurment and tention adjustment.

2.20 How to check the VIN number

You can find the VIN number in two different places on the scooter: under the seat and under the charger box cover.

1. In order to find the VIN number under the seat, open it and bend back the rubber lamp cover.
2. On the rectangle shaped metal plate you will see the VIN number of the vehicle.

Depending on the model of the scooter its appearance may be different

In order to find the VIN number under the plastic charger cover you need to unscrew it in four places (please refer to the pictures).
- Once unscrewed, remove the plastic cover.
- You will find the VIN number engraved on the right hand side of the frame.

3. Taking care of the vehicle

In order to maintain the vehicle properly certain instructions must be observed.

• Clean the vehicle with sponge and clean water on regular basis.
• Do not use hard sponges or scratching materials for insects removal.
• Varnished covered elements should be cleaned with use of varnish preparations.
• Plastic parts should only be cleaned with agents dedicated to plastic elements.
• Make sure that the anticorrosive aerosol sprays are not used on braking system elements, varnished parts and plastic elements.
• The vehicle parked outdoor should be protected with a breathing cover. Standard covers made of artificial material cause water condensation under the cover and consequently make the scooter corroded.

Under no circumstances can the high-pressure washer be used for the scooter cleaning.
