Electric scooter is a recreational device rather than a transporter. But once you ride it into a public community, it will also act as a transporter. Like
any riding products, an electric scooter can and is intended to move and it is therefore, of course, possible to get into dangerous situations.
Please understand that you can reduce the risks by following all the instructions and warnings in this manual, but you cannot eliminate all the risks.
Remember that whenever you ride the scooter you risk injury or death from loss of control, collisions, and falls. The electric scooter is intended for
use on flat pavement or level ground without bumps and obstacles. Be alert and slow down when entering unfamiliar areas.
Always wear a helmet when riding. Use an approved bicycle or scooter helmet that fits properly with the chin strap in place, and provides protection
for the back of your head.A long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and athletic shoes are recommended. Never ride in higheels sandals, high-heeled shoes or
barefooted. Long hair or bangs that can affect vision should be tied up to avoid accidents caused by hair blocking vision.
Do not attempt your first ride in any area where you might encounter children, pedestrians, pets, vehicles, bicycles, or other obstacles and potential
hazards.
Respect the rights and property of others. Pass on the left whenever possible. When approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the right and
slow down. Be careful to avoid pedestrians, especially the old, children, the disabled, pregnant women. When approaching from behind, announce
yourself and slow down to walking speed when passing. Please obey local traffic laws and regulations if situation is different.
In places without laws comply with the safety guidelines outlined in this manual. INMOTION Technologies Inc. will not be responsible for any property
damage, personal injury/death, accidents, or legal disputes caused by violations of the safety instructions.
Do not allow anyone to ride your scooter on his/her own unless they have carefully read this manual and followed the riding guide video. The safety of
new riders is your responsibility. Assist new riders until they are comfortable with the basic operation of the scooter. Make sure each new rider wears
a helmet and other protective gear.
Before each ride check for loose fasteners and damaged components. If the scooter makes abnormal sounds or signals an alarm, immediately stop
riding. Diagnose your scooter via the INMOTION App and contact after-sales service at [email protected].
Be alert! Scan both far ahead and in front of your scooter - your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding obstacles and low traction surfaces
(including, but not limited to, wet ground, loose sand, loose gravel, and ice).
To reduce risk of injury, you must read and follow all “CAUTION" and “WARNING" notices in this manual. Do not ride at an unsafe speed. Under no
circumstance should you ride on roads with motor vehicles. The manufacturer recommends riders aged between 14-60 years old and weigned less
than 120kg. People who should not ride the scooter include:
i. Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
ii. Anyone who suffers from disease that puts them at risk if they engage in strenuous physical activity.
iii. Persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
iv. Anyone who has problems with balance or with motor skills that would interfere with their ability to maintain balance.

Unfold the stem and fasten the folding
wrench. Make sure the Unlock key
springs up normally after fastening. Be
sure to buckle up properly.
For better riding experience, always check the tire pressure before each ride. Please inflate in time if the tires of the device are deflated. The ideal
pressure ranges between 2.5 and 3.5 bar.
Note: The range and riding experience are related to the tire pressures. When the tire pressure is within normal range, the higher the tire pressure is,
the longer the range will get. While the lower the tire pressure is, the better the riding experience will have especially on bumpy road. Choose proper tire
pressure according to specific usage scenarios.
Place the brake lever on the handlebar,
tighten it firmly with hex wrench to be
sure it won't loosen.
Install the handles on the stem and
firmly tighten it according to the correct
