Check that the brakes work.
•
The brake lever for the back wheel brake is located on the left side of the
handlebars, on the right for the front wheel brake.
•
Engaging one or both brakes at the same time interrupts power to the rear
wheel and deactivates the throttle. This is why the motor does not respond to
the throttle when the brakes are engaged. Note that the EGRET EIGHT has
a power interruption when the left brake handle is pressed.
BATTERY AND CHARGER
Warnings about the battery and charger
•
The EGRET EIGHT and EGRET-TEN come partially charged on delivery.
Although you can unpack and start using it right away, you should expect a
shorter range.
•
Initially charge the EGRET EIGHT and EGRET-TEN for approx. 6 hours.
•
Regular charging will protect your battery. Prolonged periods of storage wit-
hout charging may cause damage (a depth discharge) to the battery, resulting
in irreparable damage.
•
Never store the EGRET EIGHT and EGRET-TEN uncharged. Storage without
being charged will result in a depth discharge of the battery. Once depth di-
scharged, the battery will be irreparably damaged.
•
When not in use, batteries lose some charge every day. In winter, low
temperatures may cause battery capacity to drop off much faster.
•
Storing the scooter for more than 24 hours with the charger connected to it
will result in to a broken charger and battery.
