Safe Driving Tips
To prevent injury, wear safety gear such as comfortable shoes, helmet, knee and
elbow padding.
The scooter is not waterproof. Never use it in the rain or snow. Do not use it if the
road is wet or icy. Water damage is not covered by warranty.
Changing the dashboard settings may result in malfunction. If you need to
change the settings, please ask for help from an expert or authorized dealer.
When turning left and right, make sure that there are no obstacles and then turn
slowly, keeping a wide turning radius.
Before riding at night, check the position of the headlights and state of the
taillights by depressing the brake lever.

How to Charge
CAUTION:
We recommend that you always use the original charger. Performance and safety
may be compromised when using a different charger.
Charger failure may cause a re while charging.
Do not leave your scooter charging unattended.
After unplugging the charger, charging connectors may be hot.

Battery Safety
Only use the original charger that was supplied with your product to charge the
lithium-ion battery. The use of a third party charger could cause serious damage
to the battery and can cause a re.
To prevent overcharging, unplug the charger once the charger light indicates the
battery is fully charged. Do not charge the scooter overnight. Instead, resume
charging when you are available to unplug the charger once the battery is fully
charged.
Do not leave the lithium-ion battery exposed to direct sunlight or high
temperature. Do not store it in wet places. Always store it in dry places.
Charge lithium-ion batteries in dry, open, and well-ventilated places. Do not
charge the battery near ammable goods.
In the winter, keep the scooter stored inside, away from extreme temperatures.
Do not let the battery run at. The scooter must have at least 20% charge on it at
all times. Please see page 11 of user manual for storage instructions.
If the battery protection circuit is damaged, the battery may emit an unusual
smell. Contact your authorized service center immediately for technical support.
Do not reverse the polarity on a battery and short-circuit. Exposing the battery to
excessive shock can result in an explosion
of the battery.
Do not try stunts or jumps on the product on bumpy surfaces. Exposing a battery
pack to excessive shock can result in a battery re. If in an accident contact your
service center to ensure that the battery is not compromised.

Battery Safety
Connecting the charger when the product is waterlogged will run the risk of an
electric shock and possible re. Do not charge the battery and contact your
service center.
Do not disassemble or incinerate the lithium-ion battery. To safely dispose of the
lithium-ion battery, label it as industrial waste and be careful of a short-circuit
occurring in terminals.
If the battery requires replacement after long-term use, always replace it with one
that is purchased from an authorized dealer.
Do not use the battery if it leaks or gives off an odor. Avoid charging the battery
without proper care.
Depending on the model, riding conditions, and rider’s weight, range will vary on
a full charge. Please note that batteries operate optimally at around 25 degrees
Celsius. In colder weather, it is normal for your scooter to experience a shorter
than normal range on a full charge.
When the scooter needs to be stored for a long period of time, make sure the
scooter has at least 20% charge at all times.
If a product with a lithium-ion battery overheats and there is smoke or ignition,
you should stop charging or using it immediately. Move the product outdoors and
use a re extinguisher to diffuse it. Do not spray or immerse the product in water
to diffuse the re.

Care & Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the scooter, wipe or scrub with a damp cloth. Do not use a hose to spray it
with water.
Note: Make sure the electric scooter is powered off and the cover of the charging port
is closed when cleaning. Ensure there is no water penetration by using a damp cloth
to clean instead of spraying with water.
Storage
During the winter months store scooter indoors in a cool, dry place, and away from
extreme temperatures. Do not let the battery run at. The scooter must have at least
20% charge on it at all times. When storing for a long period, place the scooter on
a stool or lie it on its side to take weight off the tires. Keep the tires pumped to the
recommended PSI.
Note: Recommended PSI can usually be found on scooter tires.
Folding and Handling
Turn the electric scooter off. Hold the steering column and pull the locking lever to fold
the scooter. Please see page 3 and 4 of the user manual for instructions on
folding and unfolding.

Care & Maintenance
Handling
Lift the scooter by holding the steering column. For balance and even distribution of
weight, place hands in the middle of the steering column.
10
Inating Tires
Please inate tires to 50 - 55 PSI to avoid punctures and damage to the tires.
Note: PSI level can usually be found on scooter tires.

Care & Maintenance

Adjusting Brakes
Small adjustments can be made at the barrel adjuster on the brake lever, but all major
adjustments should be made at the opposite end of the cable.
With the barrel adjuster at the handlebar brake lever threaded almost all the way in,
adjustments can then be made to the rear brake drum end of the cable. If the brakes
are too tight, twist the 14mm nut at the end of the brake cable counterclockwise 1 or
2 turns to decrease tension on the cable. Ensure the threaded portion does not turn
while adjusting the nut. Adjust the nut in small increments. If the brakes are too loose,
twist the 14mm nut clockwise to increase tension on the cable.
