FOLDING AND UNFOLDING
UNFOLDING OLDER YEAR MODEL
Opening the Solax Transformer from the folded mode
works in two dierent ways, depending on your devi-
ce’s Year model. Folding works the same regardless of
the Year model.
1. Press down on the release lever in the center of the handlebar post.
NOTE! Do not pull the lever!
2. While still holding the handlebar pillar while pressing the release lever, pull the seatback
back with one hand.
3. When the device is opened approximately halfway, you can release the release lever and
press down on the center of the frame. Press down on the frame until the device is fully
straightened.

UNFOLDING NEWER YEAR MODEL
1. In the newer model, opening is started by pressing the long lever
at the folding point of the frame.
2. The seat backrest is then pulled outwards as in step 2 of the ol-
der model opening.
3. When the device is opened halfway, press down on the device
frame, as in step 3 of opening the older model.

FOLDING
Pull the long lever of the frame fold point upwards (g 1), to move the front and rear of the
scooter closer to one another while lifting the center section (g 2). Lastly, push the handlebar
pole and the seat toward each other until the device locks into folded position (kuva 3).

Your Solax Transformer scooter is delivered with one
maintenance free 24V 10Ah lithium battery. The
battery is charged with the included easy-to-use
29.4V 2A charger.
Please charge the battery fully before rst use.
Using the device with an uncharged battery may
damage the battery.
The battery starts to wear when you rst use it,
and the battery range decreases over time. Normal
battery life is 6 months to 3-4 years, depending on
how it is used and handled. Normally, the battery is
replaced with a new one before it runs out, due to
the reduced battery range.
BATTERY AND CHARGING
BATTERY SAFETY GUIDE
1. Always charge the Solax scooter before charging, ie the ignition
key is in the OFF position.
2. Charge the batteries at least 12 hours before rst use.
3. Never charge batteries for more than 24 hours at a time.
4. Never charge the batteries if they are completely discharged,
this may brake or damage them.
Keep in mind that the battery range decreases as the temperature drops. If the temperature of
the batteries drops, for example, from 20 ° C to 5 ° C, the battery range may be nearly halved.
We do not recommend using the device in temperatures below -5 ° C.
When it is time to replace the battery, it is very important that the new battery is the right one.
Contact Blimo Customer Support to get the right battery!
It is also important that the battery is handled and used properly to avoid abnormal wear or
damage.
If you do not intend to use your Solax Transformer for an extended period of time, you should
charge the battery approximately every 30 days. During winter storage, the battery should be
stored at plus temperature.
5. Always charge the device before the battery charge drops below 20%.
6. Charge the batteries after each use.
7. Do not store batteries in freezing temperatures if they are not fully charged.
8. Never allow batteries to overheat, so do not expose batteries for example to direct sunlight.
9. Maintain the batteries during long-term storage by regularly charging them fully.
10. Always use the original charger designated for the device; charging with another charger
may damage the battery.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
Charging
input
Before charging, always make sure that your Sloax scoo-
ter is turned o, that is, the ignition key is set to the OFF
position.
You can nd the battery charging input on the back of the
scooter, below the seat. First, plug the charger into a wall
socket, then open the rubber cover on the connector and
attach the metal charger head to the connector on the
scooter.
Pay attention to the pins on the charger charging head and
t them into the holes on the scooter charging connector.
The charger may need to be pressed slightly to secure it to
the charging connector, but do not use force.
The diode in the charger’s transformer indicates the charge
status.
When the light is red, the battery is charging.
When the light turns green, the battery is full and the char-
ger can be disconnected from the scooter.
Also disconnect the charger from the wall outlet.
It is advisable to disconnect the charger from the scooter
shortly after charging is complete.
Do not keep the charger attached to the scooter for more
than 24 hours at a time.
The battery reaches its full capacity after a few full charges. So it is normal for the battery
range to be slightly defective at rst, and it is therefore particularly important to fully charge
the battery the rst ve times it is charged.
Charging time depends on how you use your device.
If the battery has sinked below 30%, normal charging takes about 12 hours, while if the scooter
has been driven less, it naturally takes less time to charge. You can see the charger transfor-
mer’s diode color when charging is complete and the battery is full.
We recommend charging the battery after each use.
HOW TO MAXIMIZE BATTERY RANGE AND LIFE
1. Charge the battery after each use.
2. Disconnect the charger from the scooter when the battery is fully charged.
3. Keep at least the battery at a constant indoor temperature when the scooter is not in use.
4. Charge the battery regularly for a longer period of storage, about once a month.
5. Drive your scooter at as steady a speed as possible and avoid multiple stops and acceleration
situations.
6. Low or medium speed consumes less battery than full speed.

FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES
The handlebar has two levers, Dand F.
To move forward, pull the right lever (D) toward you. The throttle is innite, so the more you
push the lever, the faster the device will run. When you release the throttle lever, the unit will
brake automatically.
NOTE: Avoid releasing gas quickly, as the device will pull very hard. It’s nicer to drop the pace
slowly.
To reverse, pull the left lever toward you. During cancellation you will hear a warning signal
from the honk.
Slowing down the top speed also slows down the acceleration of the device. Slower top speeds
should be used when getting used to riding a scooter, and are also good for conned spaces such
as indoors.
DRIVING / STOPPING
TRAFFIC LAW
The Solax scooter is considered to be a bicycle-like device according to the Trac Code and
regulations. So you can ride your scooter wherever bicycling is allowed.
You can also drive with Blimo only on pedestrian roads. However, keep the speed at walking
speed (approx. 5-6 km / h) on the pedestrian streets. In trac, the scooter should be used on
the right side of the road and in dusk and darkness the headlights should be on.
7
Power management of the Solax Transformer scooter works by turning
the removable key in the ignition switch.
The ignition switch has two positions, ON and OFF.
The scooter cannot be driven without the key in the ignition switch
and turned to the ON position.
To start the Solax Transformer scooter, turn the key to ON. Now you
can drive your scooter normally.
IGNITION LOCK AND KEY
To turn o the scooter, turn the key to OFF. It is advisable to turn o the scooter every time you
park the machine.
We also recommend that you remove the key from the ignition switch when the scooter is par-
ked to prevent theft.
If the ignition key is removed from the ignition switch, or the key is turned to the OFF position
while driving, the magnetic brake of the scooter will automatically brake, and the scooter will
make a sudden stop.
SPEED CONTROLLER
The cruise control is used to adjust the scooter’s top speed. You can
adjust the speed from 0 km/h to 6 km/h. As you rotate the knob to the
left (toward the tortoise image), the top speed decreases, while tur-
ning the knob to the right (toward the rabbit image) increases the top
speed.
NOTE: Do not adjust the speed while driving or when reversing.
When the scooter is on, the battery indicator shows in real time how
much battery power is available. When all indicator lights, both green,
orange, and red, are lit, the battery is full. As the battery level drops,
the lights turn o one by one. When the display lights up in orange and
red, the battery is half full. It is good to charge the battery only when
the red lights are on, at the latest.
BATTERY INDICATOR
HONK
The honk button located on the front of the control panel, is easy to
use when needed. When you press the button, a beep sounds.
ADJUSTING THE HANDLE BAR HEIGHT
The height of the handlebar can be adjusted by
opening the height adjustment latch on the side
of the handlebar post, after which the top of the
handlebar can be raised to the desired height.
