Rev.0 LEPTON Service manual INTRODUCTION OXYGEN S.p.A. would like to wish you a good job and hopes to be useful to you by providing this handbook. Please read carefully the information this document contains; in case of doubts or remarks about its contents contac us. Generally, in case the information are not enough for particularly complicated operations on a LEPTON we are at your complete disposal to supply the assistance you need.
• Tyres; • Suspensions; For Lepton Pb the battery voltage must be higher than 50 Volt. If it is between 46 Volt and 50 Volt make a complete recharge as soon as you can, if lower than 46 Volt contact OXYGEN at once.
The vehicle is ready for starting: it is a very important operation and must be made very carefully. LEPTON is a product where particolar attention is given to the quality of its components and to their assembling. Anyway, during packaging, storaging, transport, moving and receiving of the vehicle, damages to the components might occur.
Rev.0 LEPTON Service manual MOTOR & MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION The Electric motor (1 - Figure 1) is attached to the side of the transmission chain- guard (2 - Figure 1) with 4 screws.

Figure 6 MOUNTING / REMOVING THE BATTERIES Four lead sealed batteries connected in series have been placed within the foot board of the Lepton (1 - Figure 7). It’s important to know that each battery have an OXYGEN data label. NOTE: there is an OXYGEN sticker with pertinent numbering information on each battery.

Rev.0 LEPTON Service manual Connect: • the cable with the black cap to the negative pole of the battery group (identified on the battery with a black sticker). • the cable with the red cap to the positive pole of the battery group (identified on the battery with a red sticker).
There are two sets of batteries that in turn contain two 12 V batteries each (1 / 2 – Figure 7/a), held in a metal frame. NOTE: There is an OXYGEN sticker with pertinent numbering information on each battery. When the batteries are put back in, they must be placed in numbered sequence.

Rev.0 LEPTON Service manual The second battery unit is dislodged simply by sliding it toward the front of the scooter (2 – Figure 7/a). NOTE: Do not attempt to lift and remove this unit by holding it by the bridge illustrated in Figure 7/e.
BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AUTONOMY INDICATORS ON THE SCOOTER The LEPTON scooter has a series of visual LCD indicators on the control panel that indicate the scooter’s charge remaining in terms of kilometers. This calculation is based on an algorithm that estimates remaining energy and average use.
Rev.0 LEPTON Service manual BATTERY CHARGER The scooter has a high frequency battery charger incorporated in the drive. The battery charger can be connected to any 110-Volt outlet and is programmed exclusively for charging the type of batteries used in the scooter automatically.
Page 25
It is not true that energy can be added to a completely charged battery. Furthermore, the lead-acid AGM batteries can be ruined electronically if over charged. The electrolyte water is converted into hydrogen and oxygen and produces considerable heat, and the battery could explode. OXYGEN S.p.A.
LEPTON Service manual HUMAN INTERFACE ELECTRONIC KEY INITIALIZATION LEPTON scooter is equiped with an electronic key ( Figure 9). The key includes the DRIVE identification code (TRANSPONDER key ). Every key can authorize only the LEPTON connected with this DRIVE identification code.
Page 27
LEPTON Service manual Figure 11 If you loose or damage the electronic key so that the LEPTON cannot start, you need to initialize the DRIVE in order to use a new different electronic key. The new key is supplied directly by OXYGEN.
Rev.0 LEPTON Service manual THROTTLE The LEPTON throttle acts a resistence value variations of the potentiometer. This resistence value is read by the DRIVE, that gives the required electric power to run with the scooter. The potentiometer is inside the front shield (Figure 11/a) and is connected with the throttle by a retrieval spring wire.
Page 29
Rev.0 LEPTON Service manual Figure 11/b If the LEPTON throttle does not achieve the maximun speed, you need to check the correct tension of the connection wire (Figure 11/a): • Dismantle the front shield; • You have to turn a throttle at the maximum rotation point, then check that the maximum position of the throttle coincides to the maximum position of the potentiometer braket;...
Rev.0 LEPTON Service manual WIRINGS LEPTON has three kinds of wirings: • Power wiring: (batteries-DRIVE, motor-DRIVE, relè-DRIVE) particular care must be used when replacing or reparing them because of their high voltage. In particular, uncorrected connections might cause localized heating thus compromizing the safety of the vehicle and the correct functioning of LEPTON’S main components.
Rev.0 LEPTON Service manual INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND INTERVENTION ON BATTERIES BATTERIES MAINTENANCE • All of the materials used in the lead-acid AGM batteries are resistant to the corrosive action of the acid. • Lead-acid AGM batteries are virtually maintenance free if used in the proper manner.
Page 32
Keep the batteries away from heat and open flames. • If the battery fluid contains a higher concentration of hydrogen and oxygen than normal, it could burst into flames. • Do not touch the battery while it is charging or discharging.
Page 33
Rev.0 LEPTON Service manual Working on the Batteries • Only OXYGEN service technicians can work on the batteries. • Handle the batteries with care to avoid damaging them. • Check the battery connections. • Use the proper tools when working on batteries.
Rev.0 LEPTON Service manual BRIEF NOTES ON USE OF LEPTON BATTERIES The battery is influenced by the way of use. The battery is a “variable” tank. If you take as a reference an internal combustion vehicle you know that the higher the average speed, the more the driving is unsteady (strong accelerations), the heaviest the loads (people and goods), the greatest the kilometric consumption.
Page 35
If the curve are not correct the batteries might be damaged for an excess of a defect of recharge. So it is important to recharge the LEPTON batteries with the battery charger provided or expressly approved by OXYGEN.
Page 36
If this procedure is not respected, irreversible damages might occur to the batteries. WARNING: Ni-Zn LEPTON can recover its initial performance by making a series of repeated charges and discharges (circa 10).
Rev.0 LEPTON Service manual ALARM OR ERROR MESSAGES The LCD strip on the instrument panel shows any breakdowns or malfunctions. They are subdivided into Alarm and Error categories. ALARM The Alarm category indicates temporary breakdowns or malfunctions that allow the rider to continue travelling, even if the conditions are not optimal.

Rev.0 LEPTON Service manual FUSES In the LEPTON there are some protections to the main circuits which are composed of fuses; they are connected in series to these circuits to protect the electronics of the vehicle and the batteries Before working on these devices, pay attention to the following precautions: BE SURE THAT WHEN REPLACING ANY ONE OF THE FUSES THE LEPTON IS OFF OR THAT THE RECHARGE PLUG IS NOT INSERTED;...
5X20, inserted inside the two cases (Figure 12); you reach the fuses by lifting the saddle of the LEPTON. These fuses work in case of short-circuits inside the LEPTON with reference to the power circuit of the battery charger, or in case the cooling fan of the DRIVER is damaged or in short-circuit.
This fuse, under the helmet holder, is connected to the POSITIVE POLE of the series of batteries under the footrest tunnel of the LEPTON. It is a belt fuse of 70 A (Figure 13) and prevents possibile short-circuits of the batteries.
LEPTON Service manual SERVICES FUSE AND IGNITION FUSE These two fuses, under the helmet holder, protect respectively the power circuit of the LEPTON services ( lights, alarms, etc..) and the control circuit of ignition of the LEPTON. Figure 14...
