Your new VMAX R55 PRO
Your package has just arrived!
We are just as happy about that as you are. But before you get started, there are a few important things to consider:
Tire pressure
The tires may have lost some pressure during the time in the box. Driving with too little pressure can cause serious damage to the scooter. Therefore, be sure to check the tire pressure before the first ride and at regular intervals. Depending on the weight of the driver, the tire pressure should be between 2.5 and 3.5 bar.
Disc brakes
The mechanical brakes may need to be adjusted to suit you before your first ride. To do this, use the adjustment wheels on the respective brake lever.
App connections
The app offers you a lot of useful information about your scooter and helps you plan your tours in advance, including charging stops. The app is purely optional and not essential to using the scooter.
To connect your scooter to your phone via Bluetooth, you need the VMAX E-SCOOTER app (available for iOS and Android).
Kickstart or Zero start
This is what we call the scooter's two starting modes. We recommend the kick start, especially for inexperienced riders. Here, the scooter will not start if you just press the accelerator. In this mode, you start as if you were riding a kick scooter and only press the accelerator when you are already rolling and both feet are safely on the footboard.
In zero start, the scooter starts moving when stationary. Since the drive comes from the rear wheel, the front wheel can rise into the air if you have your weight on the back of the scooter.
To switch between the two modes, you can simply go to the display settings.
Driving position
To control the performance of the scooter, it is necessary to exert constant pressure on the handlebars. For this reason, the scooter is ridden in a sporty position with slightly bent legs. This position is supported by the low handlebars.
For controlled acceleration, the center of gravity must be shifted forward. This prevents the front wheel from losing contact with the ground. When braking, the center of gravity is shifted to the rear wheel by adopting a slightly sitting position. The center of gravity is too far forward on the scooter during heavy braking can cause the rear wheel to rise and the scooter to become difficult to control.
Driving modes
By briefly pressing the "S" and "D" buttons, you can switch between the three driving modes of the R55 PRO. In first gear, the scooter travels up to 20 km (about 12.43 mi)/h, in second gear you can accelerate to 40 km (about 24.85 mi)/h and in third gear the enormous power of the R55 PRO takes you up to 55 km (about 34.18 mi)/h.
The second engine
A long press on the "D" button switches on the front motor of the R55 PRO. This is indicated by the small "D" at the top of the display. A long press on the "S" button switches the second motor off again.
Note: Even when the front motor is switched off, it continues to rotate slightly. This is to protect the electronics. When the front drive is switched off, the power of the front drive is minimal.
