will diminish as a rough indicator of battery charge and battery voltage.
• 5 bars = ~70-100% charge (38V - 42V)
• 4 bars = ~50-70% charge (36V - 38V)
• 3 bars = ~30-50% charge (34V - 36V)
• 2 bars = ~15-30% charge (32V - 34V)
• 1 bar = <15% charge (<32v)

Note that if you request a lot of power (e.g. by riding uphill), the battery
charge indicator may fluctuate downwards due to temporary voltage
reduction when the motor needs more power.
A blinking single bar means you are about to run out of battery and need to
charge right away.
Riding
Before using your scooter, make sure to visually inspect it for any signs of
damage or loose parts or screws. Every scooter is individually tested before
shipping from the factory, but we recognize that it has travelled far and in
rare cases, it can get damaged during transport. If something does not feel
or look right, reach out to your place of purchase.
Also pull the brake levers and ensure there is sufficient tension on the
brakes BEFORE your first and any subsequent ride.
• Ensure you have sufficient runway ahead of you. Do not use the
scooter indoors.
• Put both of your hands on the handlebar.
• Step with one foot on the scooter, kick it lightly with your other foot to
bring it slightly in motion.
• Step with your second foot onto the board, hold on tight and push the
accelerator gently.
Braking
Your scooter is equipped with a rear drum brake and a rear step on brake.
It is up to you which one you prefer using.
The drum brake is operated by pulling front brake lever while the rear step
on brake is operated with your foot, simply stepping onto the mudguard,
and pushing it down towards the rear tire.
The shortest braking distance can be achieved by using both brakes
simultaneously.
The scooter is also equipped with a regenerative braking system. Once you
pull the drum brake lever, the controller will use the electric front motor to
brake which at the same time recovers energy to charge your battery.

13
Cruise Control
Cruise control is by default turned off. It can be turned on in the app,
where you can also configure the cruise control speed.
If turned on, and once you hit the configured cruise control speed, you will
hear a short beep. At that point the scooter will automatically hold the
configured cruise control speed, even if you let go of the throttle.
It will be stopped by engaging the brakes or by hitting the thumb throttle
again.
WARNING: Only use cruise control once you are fully mastering riding the
scooter.
Zero Start
Zero start is turned off by default and can be enabled in the App.
If it is turned off, you must bring the scooter into motion before the
throttle will work.
Once it is turned on, you can start the scooter from “zero”, without being
in motion.
WARNING: Zero Start turned off is an important safety function so you do
not accidentally hit the throttle while you are not riding. Turn this on at
your own risk.

CHARGING AND BATTERY SAFETY
Charging the fluid CityRider
1. Turn your scooter off
2. Connect the charger to the wall power outlet
3. Locate the charging port
4. Open the charging port cover
5. Connect the charger to the scooter.
The LED on the charger will turn red while charging and turn green when
the scooter is ready for use. Remove the charger and cover the plug.
Charging time with the included charger will be around 5 hours when the
scooter is empty.
Battery Maintenance
• We recommend charging your scooter after every use. This is not
required.
• A lithium-ion battery is a consumable device. Please replace it with a
new battery once capacity drops below 50% of what you experienced
initially. Contact your place of purchase for a replacement.
• Make sure the battery is charged and that the scooter is turned off
before storing your scooter for extended periods at a time.
• Store your scooter in a dry and cool place. Do not keep it outdoors or
in outdoor sheds for extended periods of time as excessive cold, heat,
sunlight, rain, or other environmental conditions may impact safe
operation and reduce the scooter’s lifespan.
• Charge your battery at minimum every 3 months to prevent it from
running completely empty. Once the battery runs completely empty
due to slow discharge while in storage, it may have to be replaced.
• Batteries perform poorly at low temperatures. For instance, if the
temperature is around 0°F (-18°C), battery capacity reduces by 50%.
Capacity will restore to normal when temperatures rise.
• Battery life and riding ranges will vary depending on usage, climate,
conditions, rider weight, and/or riding style, proper care, and
maintenance.

15
Battery Disposal
• Do not dispose of your battery by way of landfilling, incineration, or
household trash.
• We recommend disposing through a local recycling program suitable
for lithium-ion batteries. Contact your local waste management
service for more information.
• Mishandling of used batteries may do tremendous harm to the
environment. You must abide by local laws and regulations to
properly dispose of used batteries and assume all liabilities resulting
therefrom.
Charging and Battery Safety Warnings
• Use caution when using outlets to prevent electric shock.
• Do not leave the charger plugged in for extended periods (>24 hours).
• Only charge your scooter in a safe, clean, and dry environment. Keep
the charger and scooter away from inflammable materials as they may
get hot.
• Only use the original battery packs and the original charger supplied
with your electric scooter. Contact your place of purchase if you need
a replacement. Use of other models or brands may not be safe and is
not recommended.
• Do not touch any part of the USB charging prongs and keep them away
from metal objects to prevent short circuit which may result in battery
damage or physical injuries and death.
• Do not place the battery in direct contact with heat or near high
temperatures. Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight. Do not
leave the scooter in a car where the battery might get hot.
• Do not pierce the battery with sharp objects. Do not subject it to
impact or force.
• Stop charging if the battery fails to recharge within the approximate
charging time. This will prevent the battery from overheating,
rupturing, or igniting.
• Do not charge the battery in temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or above
104°F (40°C) as this can hamper performance, result in breaking,
overheating, rupturing, or igniting and could cause personal injury or
property damage.

16
• Do not charge your scooter if the charging port on the scooter is
damaged or wet. Do not charge if there is excessive heat, odor or
leakage coming from the battery or it looks abnormal in any way.
• If the battery leaks and you accidentally get in touch with the liquid,
rinse thoroughly with water and then seek medical care.
• Never attempt to disassemble, modify, or perform repairs or
maintenance on the battery. You run the risk of damaging the
protective and safety components that prevent incidents, personal
injury, or property damage. Professionals only!
• Mishandling or misuse of the battery can result in lower performance,
shorter lifespan, rupturing, igniting, or other incidents and could
increase the risk of serious personal injury.
• Do not discharge the battery using any other product than the scooter
it comes with. Doing so could result in damage to the other product or
the battery and reduced lifespan. The battery could overheat, rupture,
or ignite and cause personal injury or property damage.
