1) KNOWING YOUR SCOOTER
2) GETTING STARTED
The good people at Firebox have already assembled
the parts neccesary for your Ego Scoota.
On delivery please stand the bike on either the side
stand for convenience or the centre stand.
You will nd that the keys for your new scooter are
attached to the handlebars. You will need these to
gain access to the glove box and seat lock and to
operate the ignition.
Inside the stowage area under your seat you will nd
the charging unit.
Your mirrors have already been tted. Before riding
your scooter please adjust the mirrors to suit you.
3) BATTERY CHARGING
Your bike comes with a charger to re-charge the bikes
batteries. Please note,
your bike will need to be
charged prior to you mak-
ing your rst journey. We
advise that you give your
bike a full continuous
charge prior to riding on
the road for the rst time.
Your bike has a charge
meter on the instrument
display panel.
Insert the charging connector to the socket contained
at the front of the seat below the sitting position. Plug
your charger into a mains plug socket and you will see
a RED light illuminate as the bike is on charge. After
six hours (approximately) this light will turn to GREEN
at which time you may remove the charger and the
bike is now fully charged. Please check this by turning
the keys in the ignition to ON and viewing the meter
before setting off on your journey.
The range of your bike can uc-
tuate or be affected by the over-
all run speed and/or the terrain
on which you are using your
bike. As a general rule in normal
driving conditions the range of
your battery is approximately 40
miles.
When the battery indicator reaches the amber light
your remaining run distance is approximately 10-15
miles.
Your Ego Scoota has four re-chargeable batteries t-
ted to the bike. These batteries have a life expectancy
of approximately 18 months, but this may uctuate de-
pending on the use of your bike and type of journeys
you do generally.
Under the riders seat you will see an isolator switch.
This switch is turned to off while your scooter is being
transported. Please ensure you turn this switch to on,
prior to your initial full charge. You may use your isola-
tor switch to safe guard battery life when leaving your
scooter for prolonged periods of time, or to increase
scooter security when leaving your scooter unattend-
ed.
We recommend that your Ego Scoota is left on charge at all
times when not in use to prolong the life of the batteries.
Failure to do so could invalidate your warranty.
Congratulations
Your bike is now ready for use.
4) INSTRUMENTS, CONTROLS
& OPERATION
This section gives information about the controls and
display of your Street Scoota which contribute to its
daily operation. All the essential controls are easily
within your reach.
The instrument panel has indicators which give you
important information about your vehicle.
1. Turn signal
The left or right turn signal indicator blinks when you
signal a lane change or turn. The turn signal switch is
operated by pushing the switch left or right which is
located on the left hand handle bar next to the steer-
ing grip. To cancel the indicator, simply push the but-
ton located in the middle of the switch.
2. Lights on indicator

on. It comes on when the light switch is in the rst or
second position, rst position is for side lights and
second position is for main headlights.
High Beam Indicator. This indicator comes on with the
high beam when the high beam switch is pushed to
start operation.
3. Speedometer
This shows your speed in miles per hour (mph) and ki-
lometres per hour (kmh).
4. Battery Gauge
This shows how much charge is left in the batteries on
your scooter. This gauge may show slightly more or
less than the actual amount.
Fully charged batteries will run for approximately 40
miles depending upon conditions. We strongly advise
to keep the batteries on charge when the scooter is
not in use (see section on battery charging).
5. Accelerator and Brake operation
The accelerator control is on the right hand of the
handle bars and is operated with a twist and go action
from rest when the ignition is turned on.
CAUTION: Please be aware that when you are in the
rest position and the ignition is switched on, that
twisting the throttle will cause the scooter to set off.
It is advised to take your seating position on the
scooter before turning on the ignition, as this will
prevent starting the scooter whilst getting on it.
The rear brake lever is operated by pulling the left
hand lever which is cable operated. The right hand le-
ver operates the front brake disc assembly which con-
tains brake uid.
Brake uid should only be replaced in accordance with
the recommendations contained within the mainte-
nance schedule by a suitably qualied mechanic.
6. Horn
To use the horn press either of the two red buttons lo-
cated on the handle bars. Operation of your horn will
only work when the scooter ignition is turned on.
7. Stand
Your scooter has two forms of stand:
A side stand for general use which is located on the
left hand side of the scooter and operated by pushing
the stand down with the bottom of your foot and lean-
ing the scooter slightly to the right where it will stand
on its own. Please note with this stand down the
ignition is cut so that your scooter cannot operate.
This is for your safety.
The main stand is predominately used for leaving the
scooter over longer periods. This stand is on the
Don’t Drink and Drive.
Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Even one drink can
reduce your ability to respond effectively to driving
conditions. Your reaction time gets worse with every
additional drink. Don’t drink and drive.
Control your speed.
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and
deaths. Generally the higher your speed the great-
er the risk. Serious injuries can also occur at lower
speeds. Never drive faster than is safe for current
conditions, regardless of the speed limits in force.
Keep your scooter in safe condition.
Having tyre problems or mechanical failure can be
hazardous. To reduce the possibility of such problems
check your tyre pressures and condition regularly and
complete a general review of your scooter’s condition
periodically to ensure it remains in a serviceable
condition.
under side of the bike and is operated by placing one
hand on the handle bar and the other on the rear par-
cel rack, push down on the central stand foot whilst
simultaneously pulling up on the parcel rack.
Please note that when operating either stand your
scooter must be positioned on level ground.
5) AUXILIARY ITEMS
Steering Lock
The steering lock is operated by turning the handle-
bars to the far left position and inserting the ignition
key into the key barrel. Now turn the key anticlockwise
to the steering lock position and remove the key. The
scooter’s handle bars can now not be turned.
Top Box
Your scooter is provided with a storage top box locat-
ed at the rear of the bike. This box has a separate key
to unlock/lock the top box
which is an ideal area for
storing your belongings.
Storage Cubby Hole
Underneath the handle bar
assembly is a lockable cubby
hole which is operated by
your ignition key.
Isolator Switch
The rider’s seat has a lock as-
sembly which is operated by a separate key. The seat
opens to allow access to another storage compart-
ment. Contained within this area is a scooter isolation
switch. You will see that this switch has a lever which
is turned to the on or off position.
For increased security and to save battery power
when your scooter is left for long periods of time such
as holidays etc please turn the isolator to the ‘Off’ po-
sition which then cuts all power to the scooter.
6) MAINTENANCE
Regularly maintaining your scooter is the best way to
protect your investment. You will be rewarded with
safer, more economical and trouble free riding if you
carry out routine maintenance. This means checking
your scooter regularly, carrying out simple tasks you
can do yourself such as checking the operation of your
mirrors, checking tyre pressures, brake effectiveness
etc and generally keeping your scooter clean and in
good overall condition.
When checking your scooter over please ensure your
are parked on level ground, and that the scooter is
securely positioned on either the side stand or main
stand.
To clean your scooter please ensure you use
appropriate cleaners for the job in hand. Do not use a
pressure washer/jet wash on your scooter.
We cannot warn you of every hazard that can arise
from using your scooter, only you can decide if it is
safe to ride or perform maintenance on your scooter
under the current circumstances.

nician of the fault and also reserve the right to inspect the StreetScoo-
ta part ourselves before replacing any parts. You may be asked to
send the defective part for inspection (at your expense). If we deem
the malfunction to be beyond a part replacement we will replace the
StreetScoota with a new one or with the same model of a similar age
and mileage (subject to stock). Any delivery or handling charges will
be covered. This is a parts warranty so any labour costs incurred by the
customer in tting new StreetScoota parts or inspecting the scooter
