124 RIDING
Riding with ePOWER
WARNING
Reduced awareness of the
E-Scooter in electric mode.
Accident hazard
With driving in electric
mode, pedestrians and
others on the road may not
as aware of the E-Scooter
because of its lack of engine
noise.
Drive with particular care.
Energy recovery through
deceleration
The high-voltage energy
storage system is partially
recharged through energy
recovery. During deceleration,
the electrical machine functions
like a generator and converts
kinetic energy into electrical
energy.
Deceleration depends on the
riding mode and the position
of the E-gas electronic throttle
twistgrip. The less the E-gas
electronic throttle twistgrip is
twisted, the greater the decel-
eration. This recovers energy
and charges the high-voltage
energy storage system. If the
E-gas electronic throttle twist-
grip is not twisted at all, the
deceleration will be similar to
light braking.
Energy can be recovered if the
following conditions are met:
E-Scooter is in motion.
Speed greater than approx.
3 mph (approx. 5 km/h).
Energy cannot be recovered in
the following situations:
The high-voltage energy stor-
age system is completely
charged.
The temperature of the high-
voltage energy storage system
is very low or very high. In
the winter or summer, energy
recovery may not be available
temporarily after starting the
vehicle.
WARNING
When there is no energy
recovery, the electric drive
cannot be braked. The E-
Scooter could coast further
than expected.
Accident hazard
Always be prepared to
brake.
Driving situations for deceler-
ation
If deceleration is likely while
driving, this can be used for en-
ergy recovery. The following
