GENERALOPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS
Before you ride your scooter for the first time, please, make absolutely certain that it has been correctly assembled. You can
do this either by taking it to your nearest bicycle shop or if you are proficient in mechanics you can do the inspection
yourself. You must make certain you have the handlebars, and other items correctly fitted.
Test your brakes every time prior to using the scooter and remember the scooter will not stop as quickly in wet or icy
conditions as it would on a dry road.
Assuming you have protective gear and that MOMAS scooter has been placed on a level surface, is unfolded and well
charged, and does not have any issues, follow the instructions below. For your safety, please carefully read this entire
section before attempting to ride.
FOOT POSITION
Before riding, place one foot to the front of the ride board/platform, and the other foot on the ground. Make sure that there
are no obstacles, bumps, people or pets in the direction where you intend to go. Check the safety lock and make sure it is
inserted in the slot. Turn on the LCD display. Place both hands on the handles. Start the ride by kicking off the ground with
the foot that is on the ground. Place the foot on the platform behind the other; it will help you gain more balance. Once the
scooter reaches approximately 1 mph (2km/h), press the throttle to start powered acceleration.
TURNS
Before turning, look at the approaching direction and make sure turning is safe. Slowly turn the handlebars and lean to the
desired direction to turn the front wheel. Do not turn fast or abruptly as it may cause you to fall.
BRAKING
Tilt your weight backwards so that the brake action comes through the feet and not through the handlebar and steering
system. It is best to learn how to adjust the center of gravity and balance during stopping or braking to ensure safe riding.
•Keep both hands on the handlebars and never ride singlehanded. Keep both feet on the scooter’s platform. Keep your
knees and elbows slightly bent and head raised.
•Do not ride on an unsafe or unpaved road. Do not ride over bumps or stairs of more than 3 cm. If you approach rough
or uneven pavement, slow down and proceed with caution.
•NEVER use a mobile device while riding.
•Pay attention to the environment and weather conditions. Do not ride the scooter in bad weather conditions, in darkness
or with limited visibility, in temperatures under 5C (41F) or above 40C (104F).
•Please, do not act dangerously while riding. Respect passers-by without scaring or pushing them. When you approach
someone, slow down and proceed with caution. When you are in a crowd, slow down and ride at the same speed as
pedestrians until you are certain the path is clear. Always keep a safe distance from people, cars, and objects.
•It is recommended to ride the scooter with the display ON even when you do not intend to use the throttle.
•When riding your e-scooter and when the battery power is low, it is recommended to push your e-scooter as much as
possible and get the battery charged up as soon as you get to an electrical outlet.
•To help get the best distance out of your electric scooter, refrain from unnecessary braking and coast as much as
possible.
•NEVER drink alcohol and ride your electric scooter. The use of alcohol greatly reduces reflexes and limits your ability to
ride safely. Even a small amount of alcohol will limit your ability to be safe on the road.
•Turn off the power when parking.
