Learning Skill
Get Started
R3/R3+provides riders with three different riding modes.
R3S does not support pure electric mode.
1.Electricity-assisted mode
Set right the head, fold kickstand and fasten frame. Adjust bike head and saddle position to ensure a
comfortable riding experience. Find the power switch in the one side of the battery, start it and hold the
handle. First sit on the saddle and step on the pedals one foot by one foot. When riders are ready to
ride it, they can push the accelerator in the right handle to accelerate.
3. Power-assisted mode
Turn on the power switch. Power sensor can sense the rotation, and then give signal to the controller
when the riding ring exceeds three rings, so that power-assisted mode is activated. According to
different riders’ force, the level of power assistance changes. When braking, it is out of power-assisted
mode. If pedals reverse, it will realize a faster exit of power-assisted mode. The power-assisted mode
is to make riding easier.
2. Man-powered mode
Set right the head, fold kickstand and fasten frame. Adjust bike head and saddle position to ensure a
comfortable riding experience. Find the power switch in the one side of the battery, start it and hold the
handle. First sit on the saddle and step on the pedals one foot by one foot. Rides can pedal it to go forward.

Safety
Operating steps for beginners (electricity-assisted mode)
Fold the kickstand and turn on the power switch. Hold the handle and sit on the saddle.
One foot steps on the pedal and look straight ahead. Rotate accelerator with right hand to speed up.
When riders need to slow down or stop R3, riders put their ngers on the brake handle, and press
the brake handle hard until the scooter slows down or stops.
When the brake is started, the accelerator will automatically cut off power.
Avoid using this product in bad weather conditions (e.g., rain, snow, or ice).
Please conrm whether the brake can be used normally when riders want to use it.
Please read User Manual carefully and follow riding requirements during the R3 ride. Please do
not use it until riders have read User Manual carefully and learned the performance well. Do not lend it
to those who cannot manipulate e bikes.
Important Note:
No urgent acceleration, rapid deceleration and sharp turns. Do not excessively lean forward and
backward. Do not over speed. When the electric quantity displays less power in the App or power
switch lights flash, it is recommended that the rider stop riding. If riding, please keep a low constant
speed. If there is a risk of falling, please protect personal safety rst, do not consider R3. R3 may
produce wear and tear which may influence on the performance in the process of riding and parking.
So before riders ride the R3, it is necessary to do the following inspections:
Rider needs to check whether the R3 is installed rmly, and is damaged or not.
To install pedals, 35~40N.m is the recommended torque. Please make sure the pedals have been
fastened before use. If not, the rear screw tooth will be damaged and the pedals will fall off from
the bike which is not included in the Warranty.
Rider needs to check the brake function and tyres, and to check whether the handle and folding lock is
fastened. If not, please tighten the screws.
Rider needs to check whether folding mechanism has been locked.
The chain should be tightened meaning that the distance between chain prolapse and tension is 10~15mm.
Brake should be reliable and flexible to reset and it should increase the braking distance in rainy, snowy
and downhill riding.
Adjust the handlebar, saddle height, and it must not be higher than the safety points on the vertical pipe
and the saddle tube. After adjustment of the horizontal pipe, the vertical pipe, saddle and saddle tube,
they should be fastened, ≥ 18N.m is the recommended torque.
Rider needs to nd an open space to practice, at least 4m*20m area, indoor and outdoor.
Rider needs to have a full understanding of the surrounding environment to avoid the interference from
the vehicle, pedestrians, pets, bicycles and other obstacles.
Rider needs a skilled assistant in the side. The assistant is procient in riding R3 and familiar with the
guidelines for the use of scooters in all matters needing attention and riding method.

Newly purchased vehicles should be adjusted in good condition, if there is any question, please refer to
the aftersales staff.
The adjustment method of the brake is the same as the ordinary bicycle. The key is not only to be
able to brake effectively, but also to release the brake without block (otherwise it will consume a large
amount of electric energy) and make sure the brake-power off function is effective.
To replace tires, it is the same as ordinary bicycle. Due to the rear wheel hub and circuit, riders need
to pay attention to the lines and press the two screws in the rear axle. The torque of the rear wheel is
recommended ≥ 30N.m, the front wheel ≥ 18N.m.
Have a maintenance and a comprehensive examination every 800 km. check whether the front and
rear wheel screw is locking, check whether the pattern of cover tyre is worn; check whether the tire
pressure is appropriate, the drive system is smooth, and each part of the joint is normal: check whether
the brake line zip-fastener is used in lubrication. And inject suitable amount of lubricant to the central
axis, the front axle, rear axle, flywheel, fork, rotating parts and brake wiring. 40# oil and butter as a
lubricant are recommended.
In the use and maintenance, if you nd that you cannot solve the problem, please contact the aftersales staff.
Unauthorized demolition of Airwheel caused the failure and damage, is not in the company's free warranty.
When the vehicle is used for a period of time, it should be requested professional or designated service
station for a comprehensive inspection and adjustment to ensure the comfort, safety and normal service life.
