The Lepton has been designed for city use on roads only. N.B.: Being a moped, the Lepton is not designed to carry passengers. The Lepton has a top speed of 45 Km/h (28 mph), and can be registered as a MOPED in some states.
GENERAL FEATURES ELECTRIC MOTOR Your Lepton scooter uses a three-phase brush-less permanent -magnet electric motor. Apart from its high efficiency and low consumption this motor is also characterized by its compactness, lightness and silent running and the fact is does not require routine maintenance.
The battery charger is the intermediary element between the power mains and the electric scooter. It transforms the altemating voltage supplied by the mains into direct voltage. There is a high-frequency battery charger built into the DRIVE of your Lepton. It can be connected to any 220/240 Volt outlet.
ELECTRIC BATTERY There is a compartment under the footboard capable of housing four 38AH batteries connected in series.

In order to unlock the saddle, insert the ignition key and turn it anticlockwise, then lift. To lock the saddle, simply lower it and press down until it locks in place. CRASH HELMET COMPARTMENT (FIG.
N.B.: The Lepton features a security function called "stand by" which is enabled when the standard drive mode control is pressed quickly twice in a row. When in this status, the vehicle is not enabled to start, even though all its...
The freeplay at the very end of the brake lever must be approx. 5/10 mm (FIG. 14). If this is not the case, contact an authorized Oxygen S.p.A. dealer for a checkup and possible adjustment. N.B.: The Lepton scooter also features an effective engine brake which starts working automatically when the electronic accelerator control is released.
BATTERY COMPARTMENT (FIG.15) There is a compartment under the footboard capable of housing four 38AH batteries connected in series. The batteries are reached by removing the cover of said compartment (FIG. 12) which is fastened at the front with a lock and at the back by a click-in system. Before entering the battery compartment, the ignition key must be removed.
BATTERY CHARGER In order to recharge the batteries with the Lepton DRIVE's built-in battery charger, first set the ignition switch to OFF, lift the saddle and connect the cable to the mains. Keep the saddle lifted whilst recharging is in progress.

During the charging process the plug warning light on the dashboard (FIG. 4, pos. 2) is flashing, once 80% of the charging is reached, light remain on, to switch off once the charging is complete. The life of the batteries and their efficiency improve if recharging is performed frequently. It is advisable to connect the scooter to the 220 V mains as soon as possible, even after covering rather short distances, so as to exploit alI the power to the full.
earthing. To avoid damaging the power cord, do not put anything on it or piace it where it will be walked on. If the cord becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately. If you are using an extension cord or power strip, make sure that the total of the amperes required by ali the equipment on the extension is less than the extension's rating.
DESCRIPTION OF ALARMS AND POSSIBLE SERVICE REQUESTS The LCD strip located on the dashboard (FIG. 4, pos. 8) also displays any faults, divided into two categories, "alarm" and "error". N.B.: Failure to comply with the instruction given subsequent to alarm and error signals may compromise the safety of the vehicle and result in the warranty conditions becoming void.

Error 1: Overvoltage The message "Err 1" indicates that the voltage has reached 70 Volts. An overvoltage may cause damage to the electronic power devices as well as to the batteries. The drive is disabled immediately and the scooter stops (despite stili being powered).
Page 21
An overtemperature may be the result of a mechanical problem (e.g. damaged bearings) or electric/electronic problems (deriving from an incorrect engine check, for example). The overtem perature may cause damage to the engine (overheating/burnt winding/demagnetization of magnets etc.). The drive is disabled immediately and the scooter stops (despite stili being powered). The user can only try to resume riding, by switching the scooter of f and then switching it back on, once the engine case has cooled down.

Error 11 : Hall sensor alarm ( type 1) No signals from Hall Sensor. The drive is disabled immediately and the scooter stops (despite still being powered). Error 12 : Hall signal sequence alarm Wrong sequence of configuration of Hall Sensor. The drive is disable immediately and the scooter stops (despite still being powered).

MAINTENANCE BATTERY (FIG. 16) The technological content, manufacture and materials used for the lead-acid gas -recombination storage batteries means they require very little maintenance. They can be considered maintenance free provided both operating and environmental conditions are correct. Main rules for use All the materials used in the lead-acid gas - recombination storage batteries are acid resistant.

Maintenance measures: Looking after the battery A number of simple steps will ensure the batteries remain efficient and ready to work: Visual inspection of the terminals and battery case: neither must be damaged or cracked. The terminals can be damaged. I f they are bent, deformed or feature any burnt parts, the battery must no longer be used.

When the water contained in the electrolyte decomposes, the result is a hydrogen/oxygen mixture which is to be found in the free spaces and inside the battery. If the mixture exceeds certain concentrations, it may detonate or explode and burn.
never improvise or perform work using unreliable tools; use correct tools only! it is forbidden to wear rings, bracelets, or watches with metal straps or buckles when working on the batteries! make sure the connectors are fastened properly. The batteries must not be allowed to work in airtight rooms. CHECKING THE REAR REDUCTION GEAR OIL LEVEL (FIG.17) Check the level of the rear reduction gear oil every 5,000 km or once a year.
WARNING: Check periodically for oil leaks around the seals of the sump's cover. If you detect any leakage, contact an authorized OXYGEN S.P.A. dealer. Do not use the scooter when there is not enough lubricant or using incorrect lubrlcants as they help moving parts wear down quicker and may result in irreparable damage.
Reassembly Refit the device connecting to the odometer, inserting its tab into the hole on the wheel hub along with the relevant spacers. Once the wheel pin (2 -FIG. 19) has been inserted, compress the fork so as to align the tubes. Tighten the wheel pin nut up firmly (1 .FIG.
Disassemble the rear wheel. Release the rear wheel cable from the arm by loosening the adjusting screw. Disassemble the brake shoes (2 -FIG. 20) Remove the brake lever (1 -FIG. 20) by loosening the nut (3 -FIG. 20). Remove the pin (4- FIG. 20). Only grease the area indicated by the arrow.
