HOW TO STAY SAFE
Riding a motorbike safely involves more than obeying the road rules. You
must be aware of your surroundings and ride to survive.
Always perform a pre-ride inspection before you ride. Checking the brakes
are operating correctly and the mirrors are in position.
Ensure you are legally permitted to ride the motorbike where you are. This
means having a valid motorcycle license in NSW and VIC. A valid car
license in all remaining states. If these rules change, it is your
responsibility to check prior to riding.
Always be visible:
Wear bright or reflective clothing.
Don’t ride in another motorist’s “blind spot”.
Your scooter will feel zippy, try not to cut others off in traffic.
Obey all applicable road rules.
Obey the speed limits, and NEVER travel faster than conditions
warrant.
Use extra caution at intersections, parking lot entrances and exits.
Always ride with both hands and keep both feet on the platform while
the passenger grasps the handrail with both feet on the rear footrest.
Protective Clothes
We recommend that you; always wear a helmet, a face shield and protective
clothing. Your passenger needs the same protection.
Try to wear clothing that won’t blow in the wind too much. Doing up jackets
etc.
Refitting/Design Changes
ANY attachment or device that alters the performance of the scooter voids any
and all Warranty and guarantee provided by EMD Scooters. Any change to
the design of the scooter also voids all Warranty.

conditions.
Make sure that cargo is fastened on the vehicle.
Do not attach items to the handlebars, fork or fender. Otherwise, unstable
handling or slow steering response may occur.
The maximum load weight of the motorcycle is 110kg. Please do not

Attentions to Riding
1. Developing your riding skills in an ongoing process. Even if you have
ridden other motorcycles, take time to become familiar with how this
vehicle works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you build your
skills and get accustomed to the vehicle’s size and weight. Because
accidents often involve inexperienced of untrained riders.
2. When using the vehicle, make sure that the OL protection switch is set to
ON, then turn on the ignition switch and set the travel switch to ON. When
P indicator switches into READY indicator, slowly turn the throttle grip to
activate the motor, thus, speed of vehicle achieves the best state. Do not
turn the grip fast.
3. It is a normal phenomenon when starting the motor with a "buzzing"
sound, due to the voice of high magnetic field work. The voice will
disappear as the motor speed achieves the best state.
4. Do not overload driving. In the case of security, try not to brake, starting
frequently.
5. Do not accelerate on downhill road; do not clench handle brake or else it
is easy to slip to sideways and fall over the vehicle.
6. When riding at night, please open the headlight. Please slow down and
turn on the winker when turning the corner; do not make sharp turn.
7. Please use caution in rain days. Don’t drive the vehicle in deep water area
avoid the damage of motor.
8. Please don't operate the vehicle with one hand. We urge all riders to take
a government-certified riding course.
Notes of Post-Ride
1. After using the vehicle, set the travel switch to OFF position. Turn off
power, and remove the key.
2. Please pay attention to support the vehicle smoothly when parking.
3. Check the battery and recharge if necessary.
4. Optimized methods to utilize the lithium battery: put is in a cool and dry
place, and recharge it every two weeks to maintain its capacity.

Maintenance of Lithium Battery
1. Battery capacity will gradually decrease as the use of time and mileage
increases. The correct use and maintenance can effectively extend the life
of the battery.
2. Please charge lithium battery fully before first using newly purchased
electric motorcycle. First requirement when using battery recharged again
after use controller under-voltage protection. Pay attention as follows:
charging the battery for first 5 times should be not less than 8 hours, but
not more than 12 hours. When charging, bear in mind that the charger
operation method.
3. The battery should be fixed reliably to avoid damaging. Never throw, roll
and weight the battery when transferring it.
4. Keep the battery dry, clean to prevent the self-discharge too much.
5. Avoid losing electricity for a long time. As a rule, charge the battery in time
after using the vehicle every day. During long-term storage of vehicle,
remove the battery from the vehicle, and charge it, then put it in a cool and
dry place (-10℃~25℃) Then recharge it (after stored for 10~15 days).
6. To protect the battery from damage, slowly start the vehicle to avoid
instantaneous discharging too much.
7. Battery discharges to the termination voltage, and continue to discharge,
called as over-discharge. Pay attention to not let the battery discharge
during riding. In order to maximize the life of the battery, charge it when
the battery discharged to 50%.
8. Avoid over-charging as follows, the battery can be charged for 2 hours
when the charger indicator lights all bright. This done, do not use the
battery immediately, let it rest for 10 minutes or so to use again.
9. Battery applicable ambient temperature: 15-45 ℃
Optimum charging environment: 25 ℃
10. Reduce temperature of battery as far as possible when charging battery
temperature, ensure good heat dissipation, and away from heat source.

11. Avoid large current discharging for a long time.
Prevent it from exposure in the sun.
12. After discharge of the lithium battery, charge it in
time. Do not put discharged battery over 12 hours
NOTE: Please dispose of used battery in a manner
that is compatible with the environment. We suggest
you take it to local recycling center or service station
for reclamation. Do not throw it in the rubbish. At the
same time to remove the lithium battery is prohibited.
At the same time to remove the lithium battery is prohibited.

Front Brake
Check
The brake fluid level and brake pads shall be checked regularly. If any pad is
worn to its limit depth, replace both pads as a set in no time.
Check the brake fluid level through the sight glass. If the fluid level is below
the LOWER, loosen the cylinder cover screws, remove the cover, add brake
fluid up to UPPER level mark. If any doubt, see your dealer for help.
WARNING: Apply the specified brake fluid, or braking effectiveness and riding
safety will be affected adversely. Brake fluid may case irritation. Avoid contact
with skin or eyes. In case of contact, flush thoroughly with water and call a
doctor if your eyes were exposed. Do not allow contaminants such dirt or
water to enter the brake fluid tank.
Adjustment
1. Measured at the tip of the front brake lever moves before the brake starts
to engage is called free play. The free play should be maintained within 10
~20mm.
2. If the brake lever free play becomes excessive and the brake pads are not
worn beyond its minimum depth, there is probably air in the brake system
and bleed it. For which purpose, see your dealer for help.
NOTE: If such adjustment is still unsatisfactory, see your dealer for help.
3. Apply the brake several times and check for free wheel rotation after the
brake lever is released.
