WARNING: Secure Unfolding
Always ensure the folding mechanism has snapped in place before you
ride. The main bolt needs to sit firmly inside its slot:
There is an audible click sound when you fold the scooter up and the bolt
snaps into place. You may need to push the stem forward to secure the
mechanism.
Folding Mechanism Sensitivity Adjustment
If you feel the mechanism is too soft (leads to movement in stem) or too
hard (very difficult to fold and unfold), the sensitivity can be adjusted:
Locate the three screws in front of the board facing the wheel. These screws
regulate the tightness of the folding mechanism via little plastic bumpers on
the other side. If you feel the folding mechanism is too tight or too loose,
you can screw these out (less tight) or in (tighter).
Recommended for ideal set up:
1. Loosen all three screws
2. Fold up the scooter and snap it into place
3. Tighten all three screws lightly
The folding mechanism is perfectly set up
when you need to lightly push forward the
handlebar in order to open the lever or to
snap the bolt into place when folding up.

12
INITIAL SET UP
Your Horizon will be delivered with brake lever and display loose on the
handlebar for more secure shipping. Use the included Allen keys to fasten
the brake and display in the position that best suits your riding style.
CHARGING AND BATTERY SAFETY
Charging your Horizon
• Turn your scooter off
• Connect the charger to the wall
power outlet
• Open the charging port cover
• 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 is 4-6 hours for the 10.4Ah battery and 6-8 hours for the 13Ah battery.
Battery Maintenance
• We recommend you charge your scooter after every use. This is not
required.
• A Li-ion battery is a consumable device. Please, replace 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.

13
• 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.
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.
Charging and Battery Safety Warnings
• Use caution when using outlets to prevent electric shock.
• Do not leave the charger plugged in for extended period of times (>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.
• Do not touch any part of the 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.

14
• 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.
• 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, 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.

RECOMMEDED FOR ADVANCED USERS.
BATTERY VOLTAGE AND CHARGING STATUS
The battery voltage display can be accessed by short pressing the power
button – it will appear above the battery symbol indicated with a “V” that
looks like a “U”.
The live reading of battery voltage will greatly improve your understanding
of battery health and charging status vs. just looking at the battery bars,
which are just a rough translation of battery voltage. You will see the voltage
fluctuating down (when you accelerate) and up (when you idle) during your
ride.
You will learn over time how to interpret your voltage display to make the
right conclusions about status of battery charge.
The theory is as follows: When your battery is fully charged using the
accompanying 54.6V charger, the display will show 54.6V (+/- 0.5V due to
inaccuracies in measurement). The battery will shut down at 39V as
configured in the display. You will be very close to empty at 42V.
The relationship of charge and voltage reading is NOT linear:

18
This curve shifts downwards the more power you are using. E.g. an
aggressive driving style will reduce your voltage reading at the same battery
charge status. Note that an aggressive driving style will also reduce range
(the distance you can travel at a given charging status).
If you prefer it plain and simple, disregard this section and go with the
battery bars to check your charge.
SCOOTER MAINTENANCE & TRANSPORT
Brake Adjustment
To adjust the drum brake, compress or loosen the
spring by tightening (clockwise) or loosening
(counterclockwise) the nut.
Tightening the nut will compress the high-tension
spring and give you more breaking power.
• Never perform maintenance on this product while the unit is powered on
or charging. Always power off before performing maintenance. Do not
attempt to perform repairs or modify the scooter but contact your place
of purchase or refer to a professional repair facility.
• Clean stains on your scooter’s body with a damp cloth. Do not use
alcohol, gasoline, kerosene or other corrosive and volatile chemicals. Do
not wash with high pressure cleaners. Make sure the scooter is turned off
and unplugged during cleaning and ensure no moisture enters the
charging port.
• When transporting your scooter, please take into account that it contains
lithium-ion batteries that are considered a hazardous material.
• Always exercise caution and follow applicable rules and regulations when
transporting your scooter. It is very likely that you will not be allowed to
take your scooter including battery on a plane.
