8. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
Ecco alcuni problemi comuni e le loro possibili soluzioni:
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|

| Il motore non assiste | PAS level too low, brake levers engaged, motor connection loose. | Aumentare il livello PAS, assicurarsi che le leve dei freni siano completamente rilasciate, controllare il collegamento del cavo del motore. |
| Breve autonomia della batteria | Under-inflated tires, riding uphill frequently, heavy load, cold weather. | Inflate tires to recommended PSI, use lower PAS levels on inclines, reduce load, battery performance decreases in cold. |
| Kickstand too long/unstable | Tolleranza di fabbricazione. | Contact customer service for assistance or consider an adjustable aftermarket kickstand if necessary. |
