Charging
Your scooter comes charged out of the carton. We still recommend charging
the unit for 6-8 hours prior to it’s first use. We also recommend charging your
scooter after each use and prior to storage.
Master Power/Kill Switch
Located on the dash, near the ignition is a master power/kill switch. This
switch must be on to operate the scooter and on during charging. This switch
will cut all power to the motor.
WARNING: Do not allow your scooter to go into deep discharge, as this will
damage the batteries.
Fig. 4
Fig. 5
Riding
1. Make sure that all of the exposed bolts and screws are tightened.
2. Raise the kickstand to its upright position.
3. Turn the master power/kill switch to the ON position.
4. Turn the Ignition key to the on position.
5. Gently rotate the THROTTLE GRIP, on the right side of the handlebars.
The EW-700 will begin to move on its own power. Your scooter has a
variable speed hand throttle. You can control the speed of your scooter by
the amount of pressure you use when rotating the hand throttle. The more
you rotate, the faster you will go.
1. Locate the master kill switch next to
the ignition on the dash. Turn to
the on position. Note the master
kill switch must be in the on
position for the scooter to accept
a charge.
2.
Open the charging socket cover
located on the left side of the
scooter body. (Fig. 4)
3. Locate your Battery Charger. (Fig.
5) Find the charger socket end
that has a three-prong socket and
plug it into the scooter.
4. Next, plug the AC plug into a wall
outlet.
When first plugged in, the charger has two
red lights that will illuminate at the same
time, indicating that the charging process
has started. Once the light on the charger
turns green, you may remove the charger
and close the safety cap.

Stopping/Braking
To brake, release the THROTTLE GRIP and depress the BRAKE LEVER on
the left side of the handlebar. Depressing the brake will disengage power to
the motor. When the unit feels like it is loosing power or not accelerating to
full speed, the scooter is ready to be re-charged.
BRAKING SYSTEM
The EW-700 uses a hub brake system on the rear wheel of the scooter
activated by a hand brake lever on the left side of the handlebar. Squeezing
the hand brake lever with your left hand activates the rear brake. Make sure
to release the HAND THROTTLE GRIP when engaging the brake.
Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking
system. Braking distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven
riding surfaces.
Adjusting the Brakes
The Brakes on the EW-700 should come fully adjusted from the factory.
However, it may be necessary to adjust the brakes from time to time.
Fig. 6
Fig. 7
To adjust the rear brakes::
For brakes that are adjusted too tight:
1. Loosen the tension screw on the
left hand brake lever by rotating it
counter-
clockwise until the wheel
spins freely. (Fig. 6)
For brakes that are adjusted too loose:
1.
Tighten the tension screw on the
left hand brake lever by rotating it
clock
wise until the wheel has a
slight drag. (Fig. 6)
For further adjustment, Locate the
adjustment screw on the rear brake hub
located on the rear wheel.
For brakes that are adjusted too tight:
1. Loosen the tension screw on the
rear brake hub by rotating it
clockwise until the wheel spins
freely. (Fig. 7)
For brakes that are adjusted too loose:
1.
Tighten the tension screw on the
rear brake hub by rotating it
counter-
clockwise until the wheel
has a slight drag. (Fig. 7)

Page10
Squeaky Brakes
The brakes may squeak before they are broken in. This is normal and will not
affect the function or performance of the brakes. With continued use the
squeak should go away.
TIRES
The EW-700 uses an identical tire on the front and rear wheels, which means
that the tires can be rotated. Tire wear will differ based on rider weight, riding
conditions and care. Replacement tires can be obtained at your local
ELECTRIC WHEELS dealer, through motorcycle shops, or from the
ELECTRICWHEELSTORE.COM
Tire Pressure
The tires must be inflated to a maximum of 36 P.S.I. It is also recommended to
use a tube additive like Slime, available from any motorcycle shop, to avoid
inconvenient punctures.
MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDED TOOLS
To adjust and service the EW-700 you will need the following tools:
Allen Wrenches: 3/4/5/6 mm
Wrenches: 10/13/13 mm Open end wrench
Large Adjustable Crescent Wrench
Philips Head Screwdrivers
Oil, Grease or Lubricant
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN
The chain will come adjusted from the factory. However, it may be necessary
to adjust the chain from time to time. The chain must be well aligned onto the
sprockets in order to avoid uneven wear. This will result in shortened chain
life.
How tight should the chain be?
If the chain is skipping or jumping on the sprockets, this is too
loose and may be harmful.

Page11
If the chain is making a humming sound when the wheel is
turning, this is too tight and may cause the chain to snap.
The correct tension is achieved by adjusting the chain from its
loose position to when it becomes lightly tense.
Fig. 8
Fig. 9
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Proper care of your EW-700 will insure optimal performance and longer life
span. The following are a few maintenance suggestions that will keep your
EW-700 running in top condition:
Daily Maintenance

USE WATER TO CLEAN YOUR EW-700
Check that all nuts and bolts are securely tightened.
Lubricate the chain with any silicone spray, 3&1 oil or any good
clean motor oil.
Check battery charger for any frayed/cut wires.
To tighten the chains:
Slightly loosen the two axle bolts on both
sides of the rear wheel. (Fig.8). Then slowly
adjust the two adjusting screws on each side
of the rear tire (Fig.9) until chain reaches the
proper tension.
Rotate the rear wheel to make sure the chain
is aligned.
Finally, lock and tighten the rear axle bolts
prior to riding.
