After my scooter was standing still for 1,5 months I decided to put the scooter in winterstorage in the garage of my mom.
Before riding it I measured the cells and the where all 3,354 volt. So not using the scooter seems to balance all the cells!
Does anybody now whats the best way to keep the battery in perfect condition????
In the garage it can and will freeze (-10).
I now have 3901,6 Km on the speedometer and used 236,7 Kwh on power.
the best way is to manually disconnect the battery pack from the controller and other loads.
removing one interconnect will be sufficient (doens't mater which one).
is the 236.7kwh measured at the powerpoint?
if so, that is far better than what i get from my Vectrix (you seem to get 60wh/km, where as i get 105wh/km).

The power is measured from the 220Volt powercable connected to the powersupply with this device http://www.my-messgeraet.com/jtlshop/index.php?a=475&lang=eng

You can also flip the circuit breaker under the seat to OFF in order to disconnect the pack.
Hi there -
New to the forum.
Considering an XM-5000Li and would appreciate a summary of your riding and maintenance experiences so far. Thanks!
I changed the main circuit breaker it jump out for no reason.
When I put it in storage the turnlights blinked verry quick have to sort that out!
But I haven been driving it with a lot of fun and with no further trouble in the Netherlands.

Electric bikes/ scooters should be used all the time.
