Intro
Unbox your scooter
Incorrect assembly, maintenance, or use of your Daxys scooter can cause component or performance failure, loss of
control, serious injury, or death. Even if you’re an experienced scooter rider, you must read and understand the entire
manual and any documentation provided for subcomponents or accessories before riding. In the event of a malfunc-
tion of any of the components during set up or use, please discontinue set up or use and contact our support team. If
you are not sure you have the experience, skills, and tools to correctly perform all assembly steps in the manual,
consult our support team or a local electric scooter shop.
Setting up your scooter right is the single most important step to your safety.
We recommend having the following items ready prior to starting the setup process:
·Box cutters or knife
·Stool or bench
·Air pump
Open the box using the box cutter and fold open the top. Inside you should see protective styrofoam along with the
following contents:
·Daxys Bandicoot electric scooter
·Manual
·Charger and cable
·Allen key
If any of these items are missing, please contact us immediately.
With the help of someone, remove the scooter from the box and place it on a flat surface.
We recommend using a stool or bench as the wheels need to be able to spin freely.
Carefully remove the protective material from the scooter and set it aside. We suggest keeping both the styrofoam
and the box in case you need to ship your scooter back to us. Otherwise recycle the materials wherever possible.

Prepare for assembly
Unfolding
1. The first step is to unfold your Daxys Bandicoot Kickscooter. To do so, ensure the hook is not clipped into the
rear foot rest. If it is, push down on the stem and unhook it from the rear foot rest.
2. Unfold the stem by pulling it to a vertical position. Ensure you do so until the stem is completely vertical.
3. Locate the folding latch and bring it up, locking the stem. The latch will require some force to lock fully upright.
4. Lastly, make sure the safety button of the folding mechanism is clipped in the stem. This
safety mechanism prevents the latch from unlocking due to vibration or shock.

Attach handlebar
1. Connect the male connection cable coming out of the handlebar into the female cable coming out of the front stem.
Make sure the pins are aligned.
2. Make sure the male port and the female port are aligned properly. Insert the handlebar at the top of the front stem
and tighten into place with the hex screw provided.
3. Caution: Be careful not to damage the cable when connecting the handlebar to the front stem.
4. You will find that the latches and buttons on your handlebar are not tight. We deliver this way to avoid damage
during shipping. Before tightening the screws, adjust the left button panel. Twist it upward or downward until it
reaches a comfortable angle, keep in mind that once on a scooter, you will be higher up than you are while setting up
your scooter. When you have found a comfortable position, go ahead and tighten the screws.
5. Repeat the same process for the screws on the right hand side of your handlebar.

Perform test
1. Locate the power button on the right side of the handlebar and press it for 3 seconds to power on the scooter. You
should now be able to see the display powered on. Keep the scooter elevated on the stool or bench, as the testing will
involve spinning both wheels.
The scooter should be in Kick to Start mode, to begin testing the motors, spin the rear wheel and then press the
throttle. The wheels should begin to spin normally. You may notice motor emitting a noise at low speeds, this is normal.
The motor is communicating with the controller and identifying its position as well as which direction to roll in. If after
performing this test the wheels are spinning normally, you can now move to step 2.
*If you notice one of the motors is not spinning PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE SCOOTER. Contact us immediately.
2. Begin by testing your brakes. Press the throttle on the right side of your handlebar and notice rear wheels start to
accelerate and spin the front wheel with your hand. Continue to accelerate for 5 seconds, then release the throttle and
slam both brakes at the same time. The wheel should stop immediately.
3.Test gear change by pressing the Power Button. A short click will change the speed levels.
·1 click – Eco mode
·2 clicks – Dynamic mode – after a second click you should see a Green "S" on the display.
·3 clicks – Sport mode – another short click should display a Red "S".
*To read more about the speed of each mode, refer to the Diplay section in this manual.

5. Test your right and left signals. Start by testing your right signal by pressing the right arrow button on the left side
of your handle bar. Your right signals should turn on. To turn them off, click on the button again.
6. Test your left indicator, press the left arrow button on the left side of the handle bar. Your indicators should turn on. To
turn them off, click on the button again.
7. Next, grab an air pump and locate the air valve on the front tire. Remove the safety cap and attach the pump tube to
the tire valve. Turn on the air pump and read the PSI measure - the ideal tire pressure for the Bandicoot is 45PSI.
8. Inflate or deflate the tire as needed until the pressure is 45PSI. Repeat the step with the rear tire.
Congratulations, you have successfully set up your Daxys Bandicoot Kickscooter.

This section focuses on how to charge your scooter correctly. For information about battery health and best practices,
please review the Battery Information section. The battery pack comes with a built-in battery management system.
This includes overcharging protection amongst other features, allowing your scooter to stay plugged in even after it is
fully charged. Please note that this applies to short periods of overcharging, such as the scooter being plugged in
overnight. Please do not leave the scooter plugged in and charging for extended periods of time as it may result in
battery damage or fire.
OPERATION
8
1. First, ensure the two parts of the charger are connected securely. The wall AC plug should be connected to the
charger box. The connection between the cable and box should feel firm with no wobble or play.
2. Next, locate the charging port cap on your scooter and open it to find the charging port. Locate the round connec-
tor on one end of the charger, this is the end you must insert in the charging port.
3. Gently insert the cable.
4. Proceed to plug the AC plug on the other end of the charger into power outlet. If the battery is 100% full, the
charger light will turn green. If the battery is not fully charged, the charger light will light up red.

How to brake
The Daxys Bandicoot Kickscooter has two different types of brakes. The regen brake which allows you to capture
energy from brakeing and recharge your battery, and the dual drum brake.
The regen brake will allow you to have a smoother and more efficient stop. To use it, press on the left hand side thumb
throttle.
Important
We recommend you not to use the regen brake when the battery is 100% charged. This can cause an overcharged
battery and result in damage to the controller or the battery. You should only start using the regen break when the
battery is at 90% charge level or less.
Additionally, keep in mind that using the regen brake for long periods of time (for example a long downward hill) can
generate a lot of heat and have a negative impact on the controller. We recommend using the regen brake only for
short period of time.
Warning
In rain or wet weather, braking distances increase. A failure to take this into consideration in such conditions can cause
component or performance failure, loss of control, serious injury, or death.
Throttle
The comes equipped with two thumb throttels, one on each side of the handlebar for
ease of use. The left hand side throttle is the regen brake, the right hand side throttle is for acceleration.
The acceleration throttle is designed to be progressive - this means that a soft press on the throttle will exert propor-
tionately little acceleration. Full presure on the throttle will trigger maximum output and therefore peak acceleration.

·Charge the scooter fully after every ride. This will prolong the battery life.
·When charging, wait for the charger light to turn green. The charging process will then be complete and all the cells
will have been balanced by the battery management system.
·If not used, power on the scooter once at least once a month to check the charge level. Ideally, the charge level
should be between 70% and 90%.
·The storage temperature needs to be between 10°C–25°C.
·For long term storage (such as the winter season), the ideal battery level is approximately 70% (50V). This is based
on the fact that at 70% charge level, the energy inside the battery cells is the most stable.

Warning
Getting started
Failure to properly maintain your Daxys scooter can cause component or performance failure, loss of control, serious
injury, or death.
We recommend doing maintenance to your scooter every 6 months to make sure all of the components are working
properly. Below you can find the steps to perform a basic maintenance of your Daxys Bandicoot Kickscooter. However,
if you need additional information or help, please contact our support team directly through email support@pan-
mi.com.au
A tune up consists of the following steps:
·Tire pressure check
·Bearing lubrication
·Suspension lubrication
·Brake adjustment
·Screw tightening
You will need a few things to get these done, all of them can be purchased at a local hardware store. If you have
difficulty locating these items, contact our support team for help:
·Electric tire pump/inflator
·Jig-a-loo lubricant (or any other lithium grease in spray format)
·Brake pads
·Blue Loctite
·Basic toolkit
These are low cost items that, if used regularly, can make your scooter last dramatically longer. In other words, they’re
an investment definitely worth making.
MAINTENANCE
16
Tire pressure
Let’s get started with a tire pressure check, which will allow you to see the tire pressure of your tires. The ideal tire
pressure for Apollo scooters is 45PSI. It is important to keep you tires at the correct pressure for a better riding
experience and to avoid getting a flat tire.
To get started place your scooter on a bench, chair, or box, making sure that the tires are easy to access. Start with
the front tire - locate the air valve and remove the safety cap.
Attach the air hose and flip the latch to tighten it. You should be able to power on your electric pump and get a read of
the current tire pressure. If it’s below 45PSI, start to inflate until the dial reads exactly 45.
If the pressure is higher than 45PSI, deflate the tire by pressing down on the air valve mechanism. To do so, find a small
object such as a pen or key, and insert it into the air valve. You will hear the air escape. Do so until the tire feels flat,
then reattach the electric pump and inflate until at 45PSI. When the tire is properly inflated, put the cap back on the air
valve.
Repeat the process with the other tire.
Bearing lubrication
The next maintenance step is to lubricate the bearings.
Your bearings are the connection between the rotating
wheels of your scooter and the non-rotating frame that
holds them stable. As you use your scooter, the friction can
cause
the bearing to get worn out - we prevent it from happening
by lubricating it regularly.
Start by cleaning the bearings using with a clean and wet
towel, you can spin the wheel at the same time which
might make it easier for you to clean. After your bearings
are clean, it’s really important for you to add lubricant to
the bearings, if you don't they will get worn very rapidly.
Spray the lubricant generously. Spray directly at the
bearings and in the general bearing direction, since they
are sealed for better protection. Spin your wheel at the
same time to make sure the lubricant is dispersed effec-
tively.
17
Suspension lubrication
Similar to the bearings, the suspension must also be lubricated.
The constant movement of the suspension causes friction and
may result in noises or squeaking sounds.
Ensure the suspension is clean before lubricating. Spray the
lubricant inside the spring and on the travel shaft of the spring
located inside the coil. Then spray on the top and bottom pivot
points of the suspension.
A good way to distribute the lubricant inside of the suspension
spring is to jump lightly on the scooter following the application of
lubricant. The up-down movement will create friction and will help
distribute the lubricant throughout the suspension system.
Drum Brake Adjustment
Your brakes are an important component of your scooter. If you feel
your brakes are not performing as well as they should, you might
want to tighten your brakes.
1. The first point of control of your brakes is your brake handle. Locate
the adjustment screw at the connection of the brake line to the brake
handle. Turn it counterclockwise to tighten your brake.
Turning it clockwise will loosen your brake. If you have reached the
maximum position of the adjustment screw and the brakes are not
comfortably tight, proceed to the next step.
2. Find the brake lever located on the left hand side of the wheel and
lift it up. Then gently pull the line down to release the tension on the
brake line. If the brake is too loose then you can tighten the nob.
3. Release the line and the lever to check the brake on the handlebars.
If you find your brakes are too tight now, then you can reverse the
process and untighten the brakes a little bit.
A properly adjusted brake should leave about 2 cm of space between
the brake lever and the grip handle.
18
Screw Tightening
Use the included allen key to tighten the screws highlighted on the following graphics.
Your scooter motor creates vibrations when you ride it, which may cause the screws on your scooter to
loosen over time. We recommend checking your screws every few months to make sure they remain tight.
You can use a medium strength headlocker adhesive to further improve their stability.
