4. Operating and Functional Test
After installation, it is crucial to perform a functional test to ensure the controller is working correctly and safely. This controller is an internal component; its "operation" is reflected in the scooter's functionality.
- With the battery reconnected, turn on the scooter's power switch.
- Check the scooter's display (if applicable) to ensure it powers on and shows correct information (e.g., battery level).
- Test the throttle: Gently apply the throttle while the scooter is on its kickstand or lifted, ensuring the wheel spins smoothly.
- Test the brakes: Engage the brake levers to ensure the motor cuts off and the brakes activate correctly.
- Test lights and other accessories connected through the controller.
- If any function does not work as expected, immediately disconnect power and refer to the Troubleshooting section.
5. Maintenance
The Bogist C1 Pro Electric Scooter Controller is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can extend its lifespan and ensure reliable performance.
- Keep Clean and Dry: Regularly inspect the controller compartment for dust, dirt, or moisture. Clean with a dry, soft cloth if necessary.
- Check Connections: Periodically (e.g., every 6 months) inspect all wire connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent issues or damage.
- Avoid Overheating: Ensure the controller's housing is not obstructed, allowing for proper heat dissipation. Avoid operating the scooter in extreme heat for prolonged periods.
- Physical Inspection: Look for any signs of physical damage, such as dents, cracks, or frayed wires. Address any damage promptly.
