2. ESSENTIALS OF SAFELY DRIVING AN E-SCOOTER:

Before embarking on your E-scooter, it’s important to check the following for safety:

2.1 BATTERY: Check the battery level on the LCD digital display monitor

before going on a long ride (30-60km). The battery level is indicated by the filled in bar levels.

Consider taking the charger with you.

2.2 HELMET: Always wear a helmet to prevent head injuries. It’s the law in

most provinces to wear a helmet while riding on a E-Scooter.

2.3 LIGHTS: Check headlight, brake lights and both right and left turn signals

are working properly before riding. Use hand signals if your signaling

lights stop working. Always use your headlight so cars and pedestrians

can see you.

2.4 BRAKES: Squeeze the right and left brake levers on the E-scooter to

ensure they engage. Visually inspect the brake pads for wear.

2.5 TIRES: Typically, rear tires should be kept closer to 35-40psi for less

rolling resistance although the front tire bears less weight , it can be

set at a bit lower, closer to 30-35psi. Inflate your tires on a regular basis

to the recommended pressure as shown on the tires. keep a tire plug kit

handy to plug a hole once you find it. Inner tire coating also known as

"slime" also works. If you have a tire with an inner tube in it, either repair

the tube with a patch kit or better yet, replace it. Most ARMADA

ELECTRONIC VEHICLES have tubeless tires.

2.6 CARRYING CAPACITY: Typical carrying capacity for most E-scooters is

330lbs. Do not over-load max carrying weight of the scooter. Doing so

will affect performance and may cause damage to components on the

scooter. Securely fix cargo on the vehicle to ensure safe drive and do not

hang anything on handlebars, so as not to affect normal driving.

2.7 APPROPRIATE RIDING GEAR: Wear appropriate clothing for all riding conditions

such as; a long sleeve shirt, long pants, boots/shoes, reflective gear or bright

clothing, gloves, waterproof outerwear/poncho. Avoid wearing loose clothing that

might get caught while riding.

2.8 ELECTRICAL CARE: To prevent water from getting on electrical components keep

the E-scooter covered when not in use. Avoid riding in deep water that could

submerge your wheels above the axle. The rear axle is where the wiring goes into

your motor so you should not get water inside. Electric components can get over

heated if the scooter is driven for long periods of time in hot weather or driving

it up steep hills (more then a 20 degree incline).

2.9 SECURITY: Set your alarm when parked for a period of time. Consider using the

left wheel lock position to make it more difficult for thieves to roll it away. Use

an additional lock for extra security to secure your E-scooter or use a wheel lock

to make it immobile.

3. OPERATION INSTRUCTION:

3.1 STARTING UP: Drive in ideal conditions for optimal scooter performance.

a. Make all safety checks on battery level, both break levers, both right and left turn signals, horn,

and headlight. Check and tighten any bolts and nuts. Adjust mirrors for proper visibility.

b. Check air pressure in tires. Make sure air in tires are holding and there are no leaks.

c. Turn alarm off. If alarm is on when the E-scooter ignition is turned on the scooter will jolt

forward, then stop.

d. Retract main kickstand or side kickstand.

e. Ensure forward drive is switched on and not reverse drive.

f. Driver sits on seat, insert the key in ignition, turn key clockwise to ON position. The dash display

will be visible but there will be no engine sound.

g. Place hands on both Rt and Lt brake leaver for safety when you are ready to drive. Turn the

throttle towards you slowly to start accelerating.

3.2 OPENING UNDER SEAT AND TRUNK: Do not forcefully turn key. When the key is in the right

position it will open properly.

•Put key in ignition and turn slightly to the left. The under-seat storage compartment will pop

open. Push down seat to lock into position.

•Use the smaller key to open the trunk. Insert key into trunk lock and turn to the left.

3.3 PARKING: Park in designated public areas using the alarm and a good heavy-duty lock.

•Turn off ignition by turning the key left counter clockwise before parking.

•Use the front wheel lock by turning the handlebars fully to the left; turn the key in the ignition to left

again counter clockwise.

•It is recommended to use a heavy duty bike lock or chain looped through the wheel to secure the bike

when parked.

3.4 CHARGING:

•Turn off ignition before using the charger.

•On the E-scooter, plug the charger to the output socket then to a standard wall power outlet.

Disconnect the battery charger and unplug from E-scooter when not in use.

•Completely empty batteries will take 6-8 hours to charge with a standard charger. Chargers

will stop charging when the battery is fully charged. Do not charge more than 8-10 hours or

it will damage the batteries.

•The red light on the charger indicates that the E-scooter is being charged and the fan inside

the charger will be on. Once it’s fully charged the green light will turn on. Place the charger

back inside the seat storage.

•Charging should proceed in condition of good ventilation not in an environment with

corrosive gas or flammable condition.

•Avoid dropping the charger. The battery charger should be regularly examined for damage to

the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts. In the event of such damage, if any is found, the

scooter should not be charged until the battery charger has been repaired or replaced.

•During winter or any long-time storage of the electric vehicle, the battery should be recharged

every month to maintain functionality.

•If the charger becomes too hot, the charger lights will flash indicating a malfunction of the

charger or charging circuit. Disconnect charger immediately to prevent any damage. If the

lights continue to blink and there is no more fan noise, the charger will not charge the E-

Scooter.

•Charge the E-scooter after each use if possible, to condition the battery cycle.

4. MAINTENANCE AND CARE:

4.1 BATTERY TYPE AND CARE: 12v 20AH Lead acid non spill-able batteries; weight 15lbs.

The typical life cycle of these batteries are 1 ½ to 2 years. After approximately 300 charges,

a lead-acid battery will need to be replaced, you will notice that your battery cannot carry

as much of a charge as it could initially. Contact your local ARMADA Scooter shop to purchase

a new battery. Replace battery with an identical or similar battery. When replacing your

battery, dispose of it at a proper battery recycling facility or return to an ARMADA Scooter

Shop.

4.2 HANDLING THE BATTERY: The battery contains large amounts of electrical power. You

must use caution and respect when handling it. Not following these instructions can result

in serious injury.

INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL

7 | P a g e

•DO NOT place your lead acid battery on concrete. Concrete drains the batter’s power and

will neutralize the lead-acid. Placing the battery on concrete for any length of time will

likely result in the battery being drained of power and possibly losing its ability to store

electricity.

•Always lift the battery with both hands and carry it with care. Never drop the battery. If the

case is damaged, the contents may leak out.

•Never puncture or open the battery case. The contents are dangerous and may cause injury.

Do not touch the contents of a leaking battery.

•Do not touch the two metal poles on the battery box at the same time. This can cause a short-

circuit. It could cause injury

to you or others and can cause serious damage to the

electrical system of the e-bike.

•Do not handle your battery if either you or the battery are wet. Water is an excellent

conductor of electricity. You may experience an electrical shock and serious injury.

4.3 DISTANCE AND POWER: The e-bike can go up to a distance of

35 to 50km before it must be recharged. The ability of your

battery to power your e-bike depends on many variables. These

variables include the weight of the rider and cargo, the

prevailing wind resistance, steep hills and inclines, and tire

pressure.

4.4 EFFECTS OF TEMPURATURE:

Temperature plays a critical role in the battery performance and life

cycle. At higher temperatures, battery capacity generally increases; as

the temperature drops, so does the capacity. This is why riding your

scooter at 20 degrees Celsius will give you better performance and

range than riding at 5 degrees Celsius. While keeping the batteries cold

may seem like a great idea in theory, you need to make sure that they

do not get too cold. In our climate here in Canada, storing E-bike

batteries in an unheated garage, garden shed or outdoors will most

likely cause them to freeze. This results in permanent damage to the

internal lead plates or plastic casings. Make sure you store your

batteries where it wont freeze.

5. GENERAL TECHNICAL INFO –TROUBLE SHOOTING:

Q. Why won't my Electronic Vehicle turn on? There is no lights or power when I turn the key

switch?

•Check the main power switch also known as circuit breaker or main breaker.

•Make sure the power wires are securely tightened inside the main power breaker switch.

•Make sure all your battery wires are tightly connected and all power connections are not

loose or not attached.

Q. My lights work but my Electronic Vehicle will not move?

•Make sure it is charged. If it is not, once voltage reaches a low level the controller will not

turn on and as a result the bike will not move even if the low voltage can power the lights.

For example, a 48v battery will go down to 42v and it is considered empty because the

controller turns off to protect the batteries from low voltage. It is also known as an LVC which

is an acronym for Low Voltage Cut Off.

•Check the brake handle switch wire as it could activate the motor cut off if not fully released.

•Check all connections of the only 3 other parts that would cause this. They are the throttle,

controller or motor. It is rare that the motor has any issues because it is the most robust

component of the vehicle. However, there are hall sensors inside the motor that could go bad

•on rare occasion. A remedy for this is using a sensor less controller. It may be a better

alternative to replacing the hall sensor or motor completely.

•To recap, this issue can be due to a number of reasons, but we will start with the most likely

and simple fix.

•1. The brake switch is stuck on. Check your rear stop lamp to see if the light is activated by your brakes.

•2. The kill switch or kickstand switch (if equipped) is stuck on.

•3. The controller needs to be replaced.

•4. The throttle wire has a loose connection or needs to be replaced.

•It is not common to be a motor issue because it is typically the most robust electrical component on

the vehicle.

Q. The battery voltage/gauge/meter drops when I ride. Why does it do that?

•As you draw power from the battery you will get some voltage drop that will settle up once you stop.

It is recommended that you charge the bike as frequently as possible to maintain battery capacity for

both speed and range. As your voltage is depleted the Electronic Vehicle speed will lower

incrementally.

Q. What should my battery voltage reading be when it is full?

•It is recommended for all Electronic Vehicle owners to have a multimeter to read the voltage.

•For 48V bikes the voltage range when full is typically around 52V-53V

•For 60V bikes the voltage range when full should be around 64V-67V

•For 72V bikes the voltage range when full should be around 77V-80V

•Lithium batteries have a similar but slightly different total cell voltage.

•If you want to do a voltage check you must own a multimeter and put it on the voltage

setting if the bike does not have a factory voltage display as a feature already.

Q. Is there a way to condition the batteries? How do I take care of my batteries?

•We suggest that brand new batteries should be charged fully then discharged fully for 3-5X

to condition the batteries for full range. It's best to keep your batteries power level stay

closer to the fully charged status rather than in a depleted status. Batteries won't perform

as well in really cold temperatures. We recommend charging wherever you go whether it is

at work or wherever you go if possible. Freezing your batteries will damage them. Over-

charging or leaving them in a state of discharge will also harm them. Battery set should

never charge more than 8-10 hours max.

Q. What should I set my tire pressure at?

•Typically, rear tires should be kept closer to 35-40psi for less rolling resistance although the

front tire bears less weight so it can be set at a bit lower, closer to 30-35psi.

INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL

10 | P a g e

Q. What should I do if I get a flat tire due to puncture?

•You should keep a tire plug kit handy to plug the hole once you find it. Inner tire coating also

known as "slime" also works. If you have a tire with an inner tube in it, you need to either

repair the tube with a patch kit or better yet, replace it. Most ARMADA ELECTRONIC

VEHICLES have tubeless tires.
