How to Fold:
Folding the Seat
When transporting or
folding, first start by folding
down the seat. Pull the
release bar upwards, and
let it slide against the
floorboard until completely
folded flat.
Folding the Handlebars
To fold the handlebars, start by twisting the handlebar securing ring away
from the folding handle. Then pull the handle away from the handlebar
tube, and fold the handlebar assembly against the seat backrest.

Charging Instructions:
The smart charger included with your scooter will shut off its high current
mode when the scooter is fully charged. When the light on the charger is red,
the scooter is still charging. When the light turns green, this means the scooter
is fully charged. Once fully charged, unplug within two hours to avoid
overcharging.
The charging time varies depending on how charged the batteries are. If almost
empty, the charge time may take up to 8 hours. If the red lights stays on for
more than 8 hours, unplug the charger.
Batteries and Battery Maintenance:
Only use lithium ion batteries for your scooter. Do not use deep cycle sealed
lead acid batteries. Waiting until the machine is low on charger before
recharging is best for lithium ion batteries. Prematurely charging the machine
can cause the battery to not last as long in the future.

10
Specification of the battery that we recommend:
Type: (1) 48 volt, 12 AH Lithium Ion Battery.
Note:
-Do not use automotive batteries. They are not designed to handle and
long deep discharge and are unsafe for use in your scooter.
-The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it
receives.
-Always charge the batteries in a well-ventilated area.
-The charger is intended for indoor use only.
-Replace all batteries at the same time if weak.
-If the scooter will not be used for an extended period, arrange to have the
batteries recharged at least once every month to avoid deterioration of
the batteries.

Ramps and Curbs:
1. Check that the ramp surface is roughened to prevent slipping. Never drive
across a slope or turn sharply on a slope.
2. When driving up curbs, always check the height of the curb to ensure that
it does not exceed 4” height.
3. Always go forward up ramps and curbs.
4. Avoid stopping completely when going over small objects or obstructions.
General:
1. Always keep your feet on the scooter.
2. Do not exceed the weight capacity of 300lbs.
3. Do not attempt to lift or move the scooter by any of its removable parts.
Personal injury and damage to the scooter may result.
4. Never try to use your scooter beyond its limitations as described in the
manual.
5. Do not connect any electrical or mechanical device to the scooter. Failure
to obey this instruction may result in injury and will void the warranty.

12
Use While Under the Influence of Medication or Alcohol:
1. Check with you physician if you are taking any medication that may affect
your ability to operate your scooter safely.
2. Do not operate your scooter while you are under the influence of alcohol
as this may impair your ability to operate your scooter in a safe manner.
