Congratulations on your new unu!
Welcome
We are glad that as of today you are part of the unu family and that you want to enjoy
a new way of conquering your city. Our conviction is that urban mobility should be
fun, affordable and environmentally sustainable and we’re happy that you see things
similarly.
At unu we place great importance on excellent service. If you should have any problem
with your scooter our helpful Support Team stands ready to assist. We’ll make sure
you are back on the road as soon as possible. So that your scooter remains as long as
possible in top condition we have worked out an Inspection Plan which you will have
received with your unu. This ensures that whatever the season you can ride your unu in
your city.

Safety rules
Our wish is that you and those around you experience everyday life without coming to
harm. For this reason we ask you to give your attention to some points to keep in mind
when you are on the road with your unu.
Traffic regulations
Obey the traffic regulations when you are conquering your city on your unu. We
understand that you will sometimes be in a hurry, but this should not mean putting
yourself or others in danger. We believe that it is possible to reach your destination
quickly, to discover your city in new ways, when your driving is considerate of others
and you are relaxed. Take the time you need and make sure your headlight is on even
during daylight hours – that is legally required. When on the road with your unu make
sure you have the following documents with you: identity card, insurance documents,
license plate attached and your unu operating license.
Driving license
Your unu is certified for two persons, although you are obliged to make sure that your
passenger or any luggage you may be carrying is properly secured. You may drive an
unu when you have one of the following driving licenses: Class M or A1 (from age 16),
Class A, B (from age 18, former classes 1, 1a, 1b, 2, 3 and 4.
Safety
Fitness to drive
When you are on the road with your unu please refrain from the consumption of any
drugs or alcohol or the use of medications which can affect your fitness to drive. You
would endanger not only yourself but also others!
Helmet requirement
When driving always wear a helmet so that in the event of an accident you are protected
from the most grave consequences.
Energy recovery
Your unu has bi-directional energy flow. This function is known as KERS (Kinetic
Energy Recovery System) and is a technology known from Formula One racing. Each
application of the brakes results in energy being fed back into the battery. In order to
achieve optimum range, use of the brakes should be thoughtful and anticipatory.
Weather
There is no such thing as the wrong weather for driving your unu. However you should
pay attention when there is rain, snow or storm! When the road surface is wet or difficult
this has implications for you as a driver. In such circumstances you should drive at a
lower speed and with due caution. If you have to make longer journeys in the rain or if
you have given your unu a thorough washing, test your brakes and apply them often
enough to get them ‘dry’ to ensure correct braking performance on your ride.

Guarantee
The legal warranty provisions are fully applicable. In addition as customer you benefit
from a two-year guarantee for your unu and battery. If you are a business person our
guarantee is extended for twelve months (see https://unumotors.com/warranty).
In order not to lose guarantee coverage for your battery, take it indoors where
it’s warm when outside it is especially cold (temperature lower than -10° Celsius).
When your unu is not driven for a longer period, make sure that your battery is fully
recharged no later than every two months.
If you or any other person not authorized by us undertakes repairs to your unu, makes
modifications or otherwise works on your scooter, the repaired or modified vehicle
will no longer qualify under the guarantee nor will our guarantee cover product
defects which may result from such inappropriate usage or improper activity.
Claims for defects cannot be assigned or transferred to others.

Warranty and guarantee

Guarantee · 6
In the event that you operate your unu in a manner not conforming with the regulations,
the guarantee becomes null and void. This is also the case when you enhance the
performance or increase the speed of your scooter, if you exchange or modify the
lighting fixtures, acoustic signals or rear-view mirrors. Such acts are punishable and
prosecution can be a consequence. Do not resort to such measures and stay out
of trouble. Alteration of the chassis number is also grounds for criminal and civil
prosecution and as owner you will be seen as fully liable.
Inspection
Your unu must undergo regular inspection so that you are always safe when driving and
the guarantee cover remains valid. Make yourself familiar with the Inspection Plan you
received together with the COC (Certificate of Conformity). A first inspection must be
undertaken after 500 kilometres with further inspections after 4,000 kilometres, 7,000
kilometres and 10,000 kilometres – roughly every 3,000 kilometres – but at least once a
year you should make an appointment at the garage. The inspection will cover the items
listed. Consult your Inspection Plan for full details.

Tyre pressure
We suggest that you should check your unu regularly before your journeys. You
should pay particular attention that the brakes work correctly, that the tyre pressure is
adequate (between 2.0 and 2.5 bar) and that your lights and horn are in working order.
Attentiveness
It may seem tempting to ride your unu past stationary traffic but you should remember
that this is not allowed. Always have both hands on the handlebars, both feet on the
platform of your unu and under no circumstances stand up. Please avoid distractions
and concentrate on your driving. Make sure you avoid running your scooter against
obstructions such as kerbstones since this will cause needless damage. In traffic always
make sure that you have sufficient distance from other vehicles and from pedestrians so
that in an emergency you have room and time to apply the brakes.
