5.2 Controls
5.2.1 Potentiometer
The potentiometer allows the speed limit to be
set. The potentiometer can only be adjusted with
a screwdriver that avoids accidentally adjusting
it. The speed limit can be set from 0km/hr to the
maximum speed. Once adjusted and after making
sure that no one is near by, push the motorbike
onto the kickstand so that the back wheel is
suspended. With the bike in this position, accele-
rate to the maximum to verify that the top speed
reached by the motorbike is the speed previously
set. Always carry out this verification, do not rely
on guessing the set speed since the potentiometer
is not completely linear.
The potentiometer should not be adjusted with
other people around. Always verify the speed
limit, do not rely on guessing the set speed since
the potentiometer is not completely linear. If the
ignition is turned on when the accelerator is activa-
ted, the Mecatecno will suddenly accelerate in a
dangerous way. The driver should turn the ignition
key with his/her right hand to avoid touching the
accelerator.
5.2.2 Charge Indicator
The battery gauge is found next to the accelerator.
The indicator lights signal if the ignition is on or
off. Always turn off the engine and take out the key
when the Mecatecno is not being used. The LED
light indicates the battery charge level.
Remember to charge the batteries before the last
LED turns off.

Plug in the battery connection after making sure
the ignition is turned off. More information can be
found in the battery section of this manual.

charger.
5.2.4 Ignition key
The ignition key is found beneath the driver on the
right side. The key's function is to turn the Meca-
tecno on and off. The ignition key should always
be taken out when the motorbike is not being
used.

The front suspension is telescopic and cannot be
adjusted. The rear suspension is an adjustable
