Q: How do I charge the electric bike?
A: That’s easy! In any normal electricity socket you can charge your SKUTE. This means you can charge your bike basically anywhere.
You can charge your SKUTE using the cable directly plugged into the bike. Please keep in mind that the scooter is waterproof, but the charger is not. So always keep it dry! With the NSport and NGT, the battery is also removable and can be taken inside your house to charge.
Q: How long does charging take?
A: Charging your SKUTE bike from zero to a full battery takes approximately 6-7 hours. Therefore we recommend to charge overnight. Depending on your usage you need to charge the bike every 1 to 4 days. When on a roadtrip, a partial charge can be done in (half) a hour. Always bring your charger!
Q: Is an electric bike waterproof?
A: Yes the scooter is! But the charger is not… So always keep it dry! The battery in the NSport and NGT is removable and can be taken inside your villa to charge. The Gova can only be charged directly from the scooter into the socket. Therefore, we advise to have a covered parking area with a socket for this model.
Q: Do I need a drivers license to drive an electric bike?
A: Yes, like everywhere, you need a license to drive on a number-plated vehicle. Your license should clearly state that you are permitted to ride a motorbike. In Bali all foreigners are also required to have an international license on them while driving around. You can get this in your home country or you may also get an issued licence from the police here in Bali.
