I chatted with Brad today, and he's learned a few new things.
During normal riding on level grade, the amp meter displays a current draw. When he's trying to climb a steep hill, the amp meter shows a very high current draw. Upon braking with only the rear brake, the amp meter swings the other way and shows that the battery is taking a charge. He also has a volt meter.
Brad has also learned how to arm and disarm the alarm system.
The Chinglish manual doesn't explain these things, so it takes some time to figure it all out. The next thing we're going to do is move the charger connector to the space under the seat; that'll allow Brad to keep the charger under the seat, away from the elements and thieves. He has to store the scoot outside, so such precautions are necessary.
Our Church is hoping to have a float in the local Canada Day parade this year, and Brad plans on riding his scooter along with the group.
We'll see how the batteries perform that day.
