Each electric scooter is equipped with a lithium battery and a smart charger designed specifically
for each other.
Do not charge the battery with any other charging system. If the battery or
charger is damaged due to improper use, the limited manufacturer warranty shall be void. Do not
operate the charger near flammable materials such as carpet. Ensure a dry environment. Never
allow the charger or cable to come into contact with water as this may result in electric shock.
Never touch the charger or cable with wet hands. Disconnect the charger from the outlet if any
fault arises during charging. Always pull the plug, not the cable. Do not allow the charger or
cables to be damaged or crushed by sharp edges or heat. The charger supplied with the electric
scooter should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts. In
the event of such damage, the scooter must not be charged until the charger has been repaired or
replaced. Unplug the charger and disconnect from the scooter when not in use.

18
1. Battery charging port is located at the bottom of the battery. Fully charge the battery
before first time operation or first time after a long period of non-usage (see
Instructions for Charging below). The battery is fully charged when the LED light on the
charger turns green. Always cover the charging port after each charge.
2. Always charge the battery in a clean, dry location, free of debris.
3. Charge the battery frequently, ideally with around 30%-50% remaining. The battery
can be recharged at any time. Do not think that you need to fully deplete the battery
before recharging it. In fact, frequent partial discharge/charge cycles will prolong the
battery life vs. full discharge/charge cycles.
4. Fully charge the battery before storing the scooter for extended periods.
5. When not in use, periodically recharge the battery once every three months.
6. Battery damage due to water immersion, collision, improper storage and other non-
normal factors is not covered by the limited manufacturer warranty.

Before reattaching the battery, fold and tuck
the pocket to allow proper battery installation.
CHARGER:
1. When you plug the charger into the wall outlet and before you connect it to the scooter,
the LED light on the charge shows blue. The battery is charging the scooter when the
LED light on the charger is red. When the battery is 95% full, it will turn green. It will
continue to charge with a very small current for about 30 minutes after the LED turns
green. When battery is 100% full, the charger will stop charging.
2. The provided charger has a built in overcharge protection feature to prevent the battery
from being overcharged.
3. Charging time is approximately 5 hours for a fully discharged battery with standard 2A
charger. Optional 3A charger would finish charging around 3 hours.
4. Regularly inspect the charger for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts.
In the event of such damage, the charger must not be used until it has been repaired or
replaced.
5. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet when not in use.
6. Use only the charger supplied with this scooter or a recommended replacement
specified by .
7. Standard 2A charger supplied by
High Power Technology (KunShan) Inc. Operating temperature is 0 (32° F) ~ 40
(104° F).
WARNING: Failure to confirm compatibility, properly install,
operate and maintain any charger, component or accessory can result in
serious injury or death.

USAGE:
1. You will not damage the battery by riding the scooter until the battery is fully
discharged and the scooter motor shuts down. However, we do ask to promptly
recharge the battery after full discharge. Do not store your scooter with an empty
battery.
2. Avoid operating the scooter when the battery is hot.
