• Cleaning: Clean the scooter with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure water jets or harsh chemicals, which can damage electronic components.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Ducati Pro II Plus electric scooter.

Scooter Does Not Power On

• Battery Check: Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged. Connect the charger and verify the charging indicator. A green light on the charger typically indicates a full charge or no connection to a draining battery. If the scooter does not power on after charging, the battery may be deeply discharged or faulty.
• Power Button: Confirm you are pressing and holding the power button for the required duration (usually a few seconds).
• Connections: Check for any loose cable connections, particularly around the battery compartment and handlebar.

Reduced Range or Power

• Battery Charge: Ensure the battery is fully charged before each ride.
• Riding Conditions: Range and power can be affected by rider weight, terrain (uphill riding), temperature, and riding speed/mode.
• Tire Pressure: Incorrect tire pressure can increase rolling resistance and reduce efficiency.

Brakes Not Responding Effectively

• Disc Brake: Inspect the rear disc brake for wear on the pads or rotor. Adjust the cable tension if the lever feels too loose.
• Electric Brake: Ensure no error codes are displayed on the LCD screen that might indicate an issue with the electronic braking system.

For persistent issues not covered here, please contact customer support.
