Refueling the Vespa Primavera

How and what do I refuel?

During the refueling process, the mo2drive Vespa must be turned off and placed on the main stand.

Only refuel with Super 95 gasoline.

Charging electric scooters

How do I charge my electric scooter?

Our electric scooters are equipped with two removable batteries and a charger.
You can easily connect the charger to any standard electrical outlet at home or in the office.
The charging time for the battery is approximately six hours. It is best to take your battery inside your apartment/house and always fully charge it in advance before your next ride.

General precautions when charging batteries:

  • Always use the original charger.
  • Preferably charge batteries at room temperature.
  • Charge the batteries completely after each ride to prevent deep discharge.
  • Check the battery’s charge status during extended storage and charge as needed.
  • Avoid deep discharge and maintain the battery level above 30 percent.
  • Batteries should only be charged in the presence of a person to minimize the risk of fire.

What should I know about batteries?

Batteries are sensitive electronic components and must be handled and transported with care. The fact that they are removable does not mean they are resistant to impacts, liquids, temperatures, etc.

Batteries do not like cold temperatures: 20 °C is the optimal operating temperature. Generally, lower ranges are achieved in cold weather. Ideally, charge the batteries at room temperature to keep the battery cells neither too warm nor too cold. In a dry and protected environment from direct sunlight, batteries have optimal charging conditions.

Helmet

Do I always have to wear a helmet when riding a mo2drive scooter?

Yes, because mo2drive scooters are considered mopeds, and there is a legal requirement to wear a helmet when operating mopeds.

How hygienic is a rented helmet?

mo2drive helmets are regularly inspected and maintained. The inner linings are disinfected with a high-quality cleaning agent. The disinfectant has an antimicrobial and virus-inactivating effect for up to 10 days against various viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

How safe are mo2drive helmets?

Our mo2drive helmets are quality helmets from reputable manufacturers with the appropriate ECE certification in sizes S, L, and XL. For a helmet to provide optimal safety, it must fit precisely and neither be too small nor too large. If the mo2drive helmets do not fit properly, we recommend using your own helmet.

What helmet sizes are available?

Our jet helmets are available in sizes S, L and XL.
