CHARGING AND BATTERY SAFETY
Charging the Mantis
1. Turn your scooter off
2. Locate the charging port
3. Open the charging port cover
4. Connect the charger to the scooter
5. Connect the charger to the wall power outlet
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 with the included 2A charger is ca. 7-9 hours for the Mantis
17.5 Ah version, and 10-12 hours for the Mantis PRO 24.5Ah version.
Battery Maintenance
We recommend to charge your scooter after every use. This is not
required.
A lithium-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.
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.

9
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 Warnings 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 USB 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.
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.

10
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.

OPERATIONS
Assembling the Mantis
Carefully open the box and take the scooter out with both hands. Do not
pull the steering bar out by itself as it is attached to the rest via the
cablework. Also pay attention not to lose the metal plaque with the fluid
logo which you will need to screw on to secure the steering bar to the
scooter.
1. Place the scooter on the floor and secure it by pulling out the kickstand
2. Lift the handle post into a
vertical position. Pay attention
as the steering bar is not yet
fixed to the handle post but
only loosely connected via the
cablework.
3. Slide the locking ring
downwards. This prevents the
handle post from moving out of
its vertical position.
Close the two quick release
buckles around the locking ring
and ensure the buckles are tight. Before every ride, make sure the
buckles are locked tightly around the locking ring.
4. Place the steering bar onto
the handle post and screw the
metal plaque (with fluid logo)
onto it with the four screws
provided. For the most
comfortable riding position, we
recommend you place the
handlebar in the most upward position when tightening the screws.

12
Folding your Scooter
1. Loosen the quick release
buckles and slide the
locking ring upwards.
2. Fold the handle post
downwards until it touches
the scooter’s deck and
attach it to the hook in the
rear of the board. This will
lock the handle post in
folded position and enable
you to carry your scooter
with one hand while folded.
Your First Ride
Before using your scooter, make sure to visually inspect it for any signs of
damage or loose parts/screws. Every scooter is individually tested before
shipping from the factory, but we recognize that it has travelled far and in
rare cases, it can get damaged during transport. If something does not feel
right, reach out to your place of purchase.
Also pull the brake levers and ensure there is sufficient tension on the
brakes BEFORE your first and any subsequent ride.
Ensure you have sufficient run way ahead of you. Do not use the
scooter indoors.
Put both of your hands on the handle bar.
Step with one foot on the scooter, kick it lightly with your other foot
to bring it slightly in motion.
Step with your second foot onto the board, hold on tight and pull the
accelerator. Do prepare for strong acceleration and start slowly.

13
Braking Correctly
The Mantis scooter has dual front and rear disc brakes.
For braking, use the rear brake first for decelerating (the left braking lever
on the handle bar) before engaging the front brake (the right lever) to
come to a full stop.
When travelling at higher speeds, exercise caution when braking as the
brakes are sensitive. This is especially true for the front brake as you risk
falling over the handle bar if your center of gravity is too high while
performing a hard stop with the front brake alone.
Mechanical Disc Brake Check –Mantis 17.5Ah
Pull the brake lever and ensure there is sufficient tension on the disc brake
before riding. Check frequently to ensure brakes are working properly.
In case there is not sufficient tension on the brake, you can tighten it a
little with the barrel adjuster (the plastic turning bolt at the end of the
brake cable, just before it enters the caliper):
-To increase brake tension, turn the barrel adjuster backwards so
that the caliper arm moves closer to the barrel adjuster.
-Don’t forget to tighten the nut afterwards so that the barrel
adjuster stays safely in place.
If this does not do the trick or you have any doubts or concerns, please
contact a local bike shop for help or reach out to your place of purchase.
Hydraulic Disc Brake Check –Mantis PRO 24.5Ah
Pull the brake lever and ensure there is sufficient tension on the disc brake
before riding. Check integrity of hydraulic systems frequently (no leakage
of oil) to ensure brakes are working properly.
