Your Drifter comes with a built-in rechargeable lead acid battery. Always
use the provided charger only. The Charging Port is located below the
Stem Tube of the Drifter. Please remember to cover the Charging Port
when you are done charging the Drifter. Before your rst ride you must
fully charge the Drifter - charge for 4 hours for the rst 3 times you use
it. For every ride after, charge your Drifter until it is fully charged, and
NOT LONGER. Do not leave any chargers plugged in overnight, or
leave it plugged in past the charge time.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
1. Plug one end of the power cord into a grounded AC outlet and the
other into the Drifter’s Charging Port. The red charging light on the
charger unit will turn on.
2. The red light will turn green once fully charged. Recharge the Drifter
after each use.
(Please note: Always plug the charger into the wall rst before the
device. If the wall outlet doesn’t have power and you plug the charger
into the device rst, it will light green, even if the battery is not full. So
always plug into the wall rst to make sure there is power.)
THE CHARGER OFFERS A CHARGING STATUS ON THE TOP OF THE
CHARGER:
CHARGING LIGHT RED: Battery is charging.
CHARGING LIGHT GREEN: Charging is complete.
Don’t use the Drifter if the battery emits strange odors, overheats,
or begins leaking. If the battery does leak, do not touch any leaking
materials, as the battery contains dangerous substances. Do not open
the battery and do not insert anything into the battery.
Only use the provided charger for the Drifter. Do not charge the battery
if it has over-discharged. It should be discarded for your safety. Do not
turn on the Drifter while it is charging.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
DRIVING RANGE
The average range of the Drifter is 8 miles. However, a lot of factors will
affect how far you can go per charge:
• Driving surface: A smooth, at surface will increase driving
distance.
• Weight: More weight means less distance.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the Drifter
under recommended temperature, which will increase its
longevity and driving distance.
• Maintenance: Timely battery charging and maintenance will
increase driving distance.
• Speed and driving style: Maintaining a moderate speed will
increase distance. Frequent starting and stopping, acceleration,
and deceleration will reduce it.

The top speed of the Drifter is 6 mph.
WEIGHT LIMIT
The maximum load is 154 lbs. Going above the maximum weight limit
can cause injury or damage the Drifter.
