Welcome to the club of emicro one riders.
We are delighted to welcome you into the community of emicro riders and are certain that you will really
enjoy the smallest electric scooter in the world.
This operating manual explains the most important instructions to be followed. It provides you with tips on
the maintenance and use of your emicro and describes how to operate the vehicle correctly for safe and
long-term use.
All data are based on the technical status at the time of writing this operating manual. Any modifications and
additions made in the meanwhile are not included in this version. The latest version of the operating manual
can be found online at www.micro.ms.
Our global dealer network will be pleased to help you with any questions or problems. Please contact your
local dealer and we will do our utmost to provide rapid and straightforward assistance.
Introduction
CAUTION: Please note that riding with electrical support takes getting used to. The acceleration – and hence the
forward force – is much greater than with a normal kick movement. With inexperienced riders, this unfamiliar accel-
eration can lift the front wheel off the ground and lead to falls. Begin carefully and always ensure some room for
manoeuvre. Never bend backwards while riding.
CAUTION: As well as the normal braking performance due to friction, pressing the foot brake also brakes the emicro
with an electrical motor brake. This greatly improves the braking performance and results in a shorter braking dis-
tance. But please be aware that the motor brake is not supported if:
• The battery is discharged and you are riding with muscle power alone.
• The battery is 100% charged and hence energy cannot be regenerated.
The additional braking performance of the motor brake is enormous and greatly shortens the braking distance.
Always be aware of this, especially if the additional braking performance is not present in the situations mentioned
above.
CAUTION: Always use the rear wheel brake to slow down and stop. Never brake by rubbing the soles of the feet on
the ground! This activates the 'Motion Control' system and you will not stop. It's like attempting to drive a car with
the accelerator and brake pedal pressed at the same time.
