FAQ
In what weather conditions can I use my e-scooter?
Please only use the e-scooter when visibility and weather conditions are good. Do not use it in rain, snow or ice. The recommended ambient temperatures for riding the e-scooter are +5 to +30°C (it can also be used between -10 and +40°C).
What is the overall handlebar width, and what is the handlebar width without the turn signals?
The handlebar is 60 cm wide, including the turn signals, and 50 cm wide without them.
What do the motor status indicators on the right side of the display mean?
The color RED indicates that the motor is active, while GREEN indicates that the motor is ready. If the light in the top right is on and looks like a thermometer, this means that the motor is hot and needs time to cool down. We recommend letting the motor cool down sufficiently before using it again.
