7 - MAINTENANCE
Caution: the front wheel has a motorised part which can only be disman-
tled or changed by a qualified technician.
Do not change any motorised parts yourself or the warranty will be invali-
dated. Contact your dealer for a qualified technician or the Ark-One team.
The lithium battery: To guarantee the battery lifetime, charge it appropriately
when its level is low. If it is not used for any length of time, you are advised to
charge it once a month. If you wish to check the battery or change it, contact
a qualified technician or the Ark-One team. The recommended storage tem-
perature for the battery is between 5°C and 25°C.
Do not use or place the electric scooter in an environment where the temper-
ature exceeds 40°C to avoid any lithium battery malfunction which may lead
to it catching fire.
Never store the electric scooter in a car during hot weather to avoid any
danger of this.
Bearings: avoid riding through water, oil or sand which would damage your
bearings. To maintain your bearings, check regularly that the rear wheel turns
properly by turning the electric scooter upside down and pushing the wheel
with your fingers. If the rear wheel does not turn, remove it and check the
condition of the bearings. First unscrew the rear wheel cover, then the wheel
axle. Remove the axle and remove the wheel. Carefully push the two bearings
out of their seating. If they are chipped or crushed, buy new ones. If there is no
visible damage, oil them. To do so, remove any traces of grease, mud or dust
from the bearing using a paper towel or a cloth then grease them either with
a self-lubricating spray or by soaking them in oil overnight (turn the bearings
several times in the oil before leaving them to soak). Refit the bearings and
axle, then the rear wheel.
The wheels: the wheels wear out after a certain length of time or may even
develop holes if the scooter is used on rough surfaces too much. This is
particularly true of the rear wheel on which the brake is applied. Check them
regularly and have them changed for better safety.
Product modifications: under no circumstances may the original product be
modified apart from the maintenance stated in these instructions.
Nuts, axles and other self-locking fasteners: check them regularly. They may
become loose over time. If they do, tighten them up. They may also become
less effective. In this case, replace them with new ones.
