When the scooter enters into the shutdown state, the system will lock down the machine automatically. It can be
unlocked when you press the power button. When the battery has been depleted or the system gives out infor-
mation with safety shutdown, please do not continue to drive the scooter, otherwise, the scooter cannot balance
for the lack of battery. In this condition, the driver is likely to be harmed. If the battery reaches the minimum, the
continued driving of the scooter will negatively affect the battery’s life.
