1. vR3 — the modular electric vehicle
1.1. Platform concept
The vR3 can easily be configured for a wide range of applications.
The vR3 is ideally suited as a:
– Courier and delivery vehicle
– Communal vehicle
– Service vehicle
– Transport vehicle
Central elements of the design include the universal connection points at the front and rear, and the space between
the two rear wheels, which is available thanks to the vR3's patented chassis design and significantly increases both
transport volume and flexibility.
Figure 1: vR3, front and rear universal connection points
Choose from a variety of standard modules. Customer-specific solutions are also often developed to facilitate opti-
mum usage.

1.2. Productivity
The vR3 has a transport volume of up to 1000 l (in the WIDEBODY version), 270 kg working load and 120 km ran-
ge. With a turning radius of less than 4.5 m, a ground clearance of 18 cm and the ability to climb steep gradients
of up to 25%, the vR3 is equally at home in narrow old-town alleyways as mountain villages. The automatic parking
brake, the redundant drivetrain with its energy recovery system, the unusually long range and the intelligent set-up
minimise downtimes and considerably boost productivity.
1.3. Safety and comfort
High-quality disk brakes on all three wheels bring the vR3 to a safe stop at all times. Thanks to its three-wheel
concept and balanced chassis, the vR3 is always safe to ride and remains a trusty companion even in rain or snow.
Even the WIDEBODY version of the vR3 glides as if on rails. The low step-through makes getting on and off easier.
The seat can be adjusted vertically and horizontally – with or without a backrest – so that any rider can find their
perfect position. The impressive ergonomics of the vR3 have been carefully conceived, down to the last detail: Cle-
arly arranged operating levers and an easy-to-read display make riding a pleasant experience.
1.4. Sustainability
The emissions-free drivetrain is only a small detail in comparison to the real plus in the area of sustainability: The
vR3 can easily adapt to constantly changing requirements within the holder organisation or in its new area of appli-
cation. The operating time of the vR3 is therefore considerably longer than comparable models. Not just a second
life, but maybe a different life too. This substantially reduces the overall impact on the environment and makes it
significantly more cost-effective.

3. Preparation
3.1. Clothing
Wear clothing appropriate for the weather. Please also ensure that no items of clothing
(scarves, etc.) can become caught in the moving parts.
3.2. Seat position
The seat position can be adjusted according to your body size. To adjust, pull the lever on the left-hand side in-
wards. Then push the seat along the rails to a position which is comfortable for you. Please ensure that the lever is
locked back into place after the seat is in position.

3.3. Rear-view mirrors
The rear view mirrors can be manually adjusted to the optimum position. For this, hold the handlebar firmly and turn
the mirror housing in the desired direction. Please ensure that you have a good view to the rear when you are in the
riding position.
3.4. Function check
Ensure that the battery is sufficiently charged before starting your journey. We also recommend briefly checking the
brakes, horn and lights before starting your journey.

4. Operating levers
4.1. Waking the battery
The vR3 has an automatic switch-off function to protect the batteries. If the vehicle is not moved for a period of
eight days, then the batteries turn themselves off. Before the vehicle can be moved again, the batteries must be
turned on again via a separate button. This requires short, firm pressure. Make sure that both LED strips light up
briefly but constantly after turning on (no flashing).
This button is located on the rear casing above the left-hand rear wheel swing arm:

The batteries can also be manually torned off by pressing on the same button for a long time (approx. five se-
conds).

4.2. Turning the vehicle on and off
The vehicle's electrical circuit is closed using the ignition key. When the ignition is turned off, the parking brakes are
activated automatically. The parking brakes are also active when the ignition is switched on, the riding speed is «0»
and the throttle grip is in neutral position.

4.3. Left-hand operating levers
The switch levers for the light, horn and rear brake are located on the left of the handleber.

4.3.1. Light switch
When the ignition is turned on, the position lights and dipped headlights are automatically switched on. When requi-
red, an additional headlight may be flipping on by turning the blue switch.
4.3.2. Indicators
The indicators can be activated by sliding the grey switch to the left or right. In order to return the indicators to neu-
tral position, press on the small grey button above the slider.
4.3.3. Horn
If you want to give an acoustic warning signal, press the yellow button.
4.3.4. Rear brake
In addition to the recuperation brake, the vR3 also possesses fully hydraulic disk brakes. The two rear brakes are
operated with the left brake lever.
Even if they are not often used in daily operation; operate both brakes regularly in order to avoid in-storage
deterioration.
4.4. Right-hand operating levers
The throttle grip, riding direction switch and brake lever for the front brake are located on the right of the handleber.
Optional switch
Riding direction switch
Figure 7: Right-hand operating levers
4.4.1. Optional switch
This switch may be used for additional vehicle options. (e.g. special signal, gyro light, etc.)
4.4.2. Riding direction switch
The riding direction switch is used to determine the riding direction. Slide the switch to the left if you want to ride
forwards. If you want to engage the reverse gear, slide the switch to the right.
Only operate the riding direction switch when you hear the relay in operation (clicking under the seat) after
turning on the ignition. Signals are only transmitted from the controls once this has happened.

4.4.3. Throttle grip
By gently turning the throttle grip, the vehicle accelerates in the direction selected with the riding direction switch.
When the acceleration is released, the recuperation brake is automatically activated; this enables the vehicle to
regain some of the braking energy.
4.4.4. Front brake
In addition to the recuperation brake, the vR3 also possesses fully hydraulic disk brakes. The front brake is opera-
ted using the right-hand brake lever.
Even if they are not often used in daily operation; operate both brakes regularly in order to avoid in-storage
deterioration.
4.5. Display
The vR3 has a digital display on which various functions and displays can be called up.
