What should I do if the force of braking is becoming weaker?
The brakes are extremely vital to your personal safety. Any change in how they work must be fully
resolved!
The most frequent reason for a change in braking behaviour is when there is moisture on the
brake disc.
Water or detergents may have got into the brake. In this case, carefully ride the scooter for a few
hundred meters while braking carefully. This will usually cause the water inside to evaporate from
the heat caused by braking, causing braking behaviour to return to normal.
The brake pads become worn over time. This can also be a reason why your EGRET's braking
behaviour has changed. You can easily re-adjust the brakes via the adjustment bolt on the brake
lever.
If theses adjustments do not help to satisfactorily restore braking behaviour, contact a bicycle
repair shop. Please note that adjusting the brakes is a safety-related matter. We can assume no
responsibility for the consequences of improperly adjusted brakes.
My scooter won't turn on or run. What can I do?
First, press and hold down the on/off switch for several seconds. If you only press the button
briefly, the scooter will not turn on.
Then check whether the battery is charged. The charger may not have been plugged in correctly
or be defective and hasn't charged the scooter at all. For more information, refer to the questions
"How do I charge my scooter?" and "The charger isn't charging the scooter. What could be the
reason for this?".
The scooter is equipped with a kick-start function. You only have to get the scooter moving with
your foot in order for the throttle to be activated.
The charger isn't charging the scooter. What could be the reason for this?
• The charger is not plugged into a socket.
• The socket has no power (sockets in garages often have an additional fuse or have to be turned
on from the light switch).
• When properly plugged in, the LED on the charger should turn red when the scooter
is charging.
• The cable's socket plug (between the charger and the battery) is not firmly plugged into the
charger.
• The cable's socket plug (between the charger and the battery) is not firmly plugged into the
scooter's charging port.
• On the EGRET-TEN the plug can be inserted in twisted position. You should check whether
the position of the plug is correct.
