Z3 Information request.

Hi, Thank you for allowing me to join. I am aged 80+ and have just decided to give up on driving a car, its sold so no going back.
I have purchased a 2nd hand Zipper Z3 which seems to be in good order and I am slowly getting used to it.
The bike did not have any documentation with it and I am puzzled by a few ityems including the 3 position power(?) switch which I do not understand.
Zipper is proving incredibly difficult to contact. I did search for an information document on line and found one but it turned out to be scam.
Anybody got any information/copies of manuals etc that could be copies or emailed? I would be grateful and happy to reimburse any costs.
Thanks again.
Alan

You are never too old for a bike :-) The group I cycle with ranges from youngsters like me in their 50s (nearly - one month to go) right up to a chap in his 80s. Enjoy the bike and I recommend looking out for a friendly social group.

A few years back (before Covid) I marshalled at a TT and a spritely rider was all exited about his time. I couldn't understand why, it was a good time but not an excellent time for a 70 year old. I later found out he was in his 90s and that was a national record. He only retired from TT'ing, I doubt cycling altogether last year.
You are definitely never too old for a bike :-)
