Inflating the Tires
Tires are inflated when shipped, but they invariably lose some pressure between the point of
manufacturing and your purchase.
Using a bicycle-style tire pump equipped for a Schrader-type valve, inflate the front tire to the
PSI indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
Testing the Brakes
To use the brakes, squeeze the levers to increase the pressure on the brake. The brake levers
are fitted with a cable adjuster to compensate for cable stretch and/or to fine-tune the lever
movement to brake engagement. If brakes are not engaging properly, follow instructions for
adjusting the brakes outlined below.
CHARGING
Your electric scooter may not have a fully charged battery; therefore it is a good idea to
charge the battery prior to use.
WARNING: Do not allow your scooter to go into deep discharge, as this will damage the
batteries.

RIDING
RIDING
1. Make sure that all of the exposed bolts and screws are tightened.
2. Raise the kickstand to its upright position.
3. Push the on/off switch (located on the left handlebar) to the ON position.
4. Put one foot on the deck of the scooter while pushing off with the other foot, gently
rotate the THROTTLE GRIP, on the right side of the handlebars. The scooter will
begin to move on its own power.
**Your scooter has a variable speed hand throttle. You can control the speed of your
scooter by the amount of pressure you use when rotating the hand throttle. The more
you rotate, the faster you will go.
STOPPING & BRAKING
1. To brake, release the THROTTLE GRIP and depress the BRAKE LEVERS (on the
left/right side of the handlebars. Depressing the brake will disengage power to the
motor. When the unit feels like it is loosing power or not accelerating to full speed,
the scooter is ready to be re-charged.
NOTE: If the on/off switch is left in the ON position for more than 10-15 minutes without
moving, Smart Power will shut itself OFF. To reset, turn the unit OFF, wait a few seconds
and then switch it back ON again.
MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDED TOOLS
To adjust and service the scooter you will need the following tools:
 Allen Wrenches: 3/4/5/6 mm
 Wrenches: 10/13/13 mm Open end wrench

Page
9
 Large Adjustable Crescent Wrench
 Philips Head Screwdrivers
 Oil, Grease or Lubricant
ADJUSTING THE HEAD UNIT
The head unit will come adjusted from the factory. However, riding on rough terrain and
general use may cause the head unit to become loose over time. It may be necessary to
adjust the head unit from time to time.
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN
The chain will typically have a “loose spot” and “tight spot” corresponding with a particular
sprocket rotational position. This is normal and common to all chain-driven products due
to run-out tolerances of the sprocket. The chain should be adjusted to the ideal tension
with chain in the tightest spot. Proper chain alignment must be maintained. The wheel
must not be skewed. If the chain is noisy or rough running, check the lubrication, tension
and alignment of the sprockets, in that order.
To tighten the chains:
Slightly loosen the two axle bolts on both
sides of the rear wheel. Then slowly adjust
the two adjusting screws on each side of
the rear tire until chain reaches the proper
tension.
Rotate the rear wheel to make sure the
chain is aligned.
Finally, lock and tighten the rear axle bolts
prior to riding.
To adjust the head unit:
Rotate the handle bar as far right as it will
go to expose the HEAD UNIT. (see fig
left)
Using a large adjustable wrench, gently
turn the BEARING LOCK clockwise to
tighten. *DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN OR
IT WILL DAMAGE THE BEARINGS.
