WHAT WE GUARANTEE AND WHAT YOU PROMISE US
Section 8: Operator Tips to Improve Performance
There are a lot of little things that an operator should do to unlock the full potential of the Electric
Vehicle. In this section you will find some tips and advise intended to help you achieve that goal.
8.1 Keep Your Motor Cool.
The most common method of damaging the unit is by over heating the motor. Motors can be over
worked and eventually this will burn out the brush card inside the motor. Replacing a brush card is
simple and straight forward but can be avoided. Avoid frequent accelerations, burnouts, towing
heavy loads, long steep hill climbs, and the likes that require the motor to work harder. If you have
been working the motor hard, reach down and carefully feel the temperature of it. The best place is
at one of the 2 power terminals and if it is too hot to hold your hand/finger against then stop riding
and give it a chance to cool down before continuing. These heavy loads also exert huge power
draws from the batteries that drastically shorten your usable range and battery life. With that in
mind, get into the practice of pushing off with the unit from a standing start to get some forward
momentum before applying the throttle. A simple push off from all your dead stops can squeeze
out another mile or more range as well as reduce the load and heat on the motor. In addition,
keeping your speed relatively constant will also help maximizes available range.
Don’t get dragged down. Brakes and chain should not be dragging or preventing the wheel from
spinning freely. There is a small amount of natural drag created by the drive components but
making sure they are in working order, properly lubricated, adjusted, and in alignment, will help
ensure you are not losing any performance.
Rolling. Make sure you have the proper pressure in the tires. There is a PSI tire pressure rating
on the side wall on the tire and you should try to keep your ESR tires at that pressure at all times.
We have found it is safe to go as high as 10 PSI above the rating on the sidewall. This will further
reduce the rolling resistance of the tires and increase the usable range, acceleration, and speed.
WARNING: DO NOT over inflate wheels more than 10 PSI above
recommended levels market on the sidewall of the tire.
8.2 Battery Care
Letting the batteries sit in the unit with a depleted charge is harsh on the chemistry that makes
them functional and will greatly reduce their usable life. So, it is best to get in the practice of
keeping them charged whenever possible.
Charge For Storage. Do not leave unit on a charge for more then 1 week. Any longer and over
charging can end up damaging the batteries or even create an potential fire hazard. If you plan to
store the unit for more than a week you should first charge the unit fully then disconnect the
charger to store and put the unit on a charge for a few hours once a month to insure the batteries
stay “topped off”.
8.3 Riding surfaces to avoid
Your unit incorporates some very sophisticated and sensitive electronic components that do not
like heavy vibrations or shock loads that is typically associated with riding on an unpaved/uneven
surface or hopping down street curbing. The occasional unavoidable bumps are OK but try to avoid
rough terrain whenever possible.
Weather Conditions to Avoid: Although some water resistance measures have been made, your
Electric Vehicle is not completely sealed from the elements so driving the unit through standing
water, wet or muddy conditions runs the risk of severely damaging it. The ideal solution to riding
any 2-wheel vehicle in wet/muddy conditions is to just not do it.
Clean is good. This does not mean you cannot wash or clean your unit. They like being shiny and
clean as it helps prevent dirt from getting into the electronics. Therefore, when it is time to get the
sparkle back in your unit you can do so with a mild soapy damp dish-towel and wipe it down. Just
avoid heavy amounts of water that can end up finding its way to any of the electronics.
Hot or Cold. Another weather conditions you should be aware of are extreme temperatures. The
hotter the temperature the less efficient your unit will be so try to avoid operation on those very hot
days. Also, avoid allowing your scooter to sit in freezing temperature as this could cause sever
battery damage.
