OPERATING YOUR SCOOTER
Charging your scooter
Your scooter comes with minimal charge to preserve battery life. We
recommend fully charging your scooter prior to its first use, after each use and
prior to storage.
NOTE: Always follow recommended battery care (pg #11) and do not allow the
battery to completely discharge, this may damage the battery
To charge, first, make sure your scooter is turned off. Open the charging socket
cover located on the right side of the scooter frame under the footboard. First
plug the charger socket end of your charger into the scooter and then plug the
other end into a wall outlet.
When plugged in, the charger’s red light will illuminate, indicating that the
charging process has started. Once the greenlight on the charger illuminates
indicating charging is complete, you may remove the charger and close the cap
protecting the charger socket.
Riding
When turned on, your scooter will display the current battery power via the
gauge on the right handlebar. At full power all 3 lights including the green
“full” light will be lit. At half power only the light up to the yellow “half” light
will be lit. When the scooter is low on power and needs recharging only the red
“empty” light will be illuminated on the battery gauge.
9

To start the scooter, first ensure the kickstand is in the upright position, then
insert the key into the ignition and turn to the “ON” position. Put one foot on
the deck of the scooter while pushing off with the other foot, gently rotate the
THROTTLE GRIP, on the right handlebar. The scooter will begin to move on its
own power.
NOTE: 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.
To turn your scooter off, come to a complete stop and turn the key in the
ignition switch to the off position.
NOTE: If the scooter is turned on for more than 10-15 minutes without moving,
an automatic power saving feature activates and the scooter will shut itself off.
To reset, turn switch “OFF”, wait a few seconds, back “ON” again.
Braking
To brake, release the throttle and squeeze both brake levers simultaneously.
Applying the brakes will also disengage power to the motor, this means your
motor will not reengage while the brakes are being squeezed.
Folding your Scooter
When you are done riding the scooter you can fold it down for compact storage
and transportation. First remove the seat post and seat, then using one hand,
push down on the folding handle while gently pushing down on the handlebars.
Push down until you feel the locking mechanism click into the down position.
NOTE: Be careful not to hit yourself in the head and keep hands clear of the
folding point.

MAINTENANCE & CARE
Proper care of your scooter will ensure optimal performance and longer life.
Maintenance Checklist:
Clean you scooter with a soft damp cloth (do not spray with water)
Visually inspect the scooter for damages (bent parts, frayed wires, etc)
Check Tire pressure (30-36PSI)
Ensure Brakes functioning properly
Check fasteners for tightness
Lubricate chain with silicone spray (roughly once a month or if visibly dry)
Battery Care
Proper care of your battery during use and storage will ensure a maximum life
expectancy from it
Always turn off your scooter when not in use. Not only will this prevent battery
drain but also the possibility of unintentional movement.
Charge after each use. Do not allow the battery to completely discharge.
Charge the scooter for 6-8 hours or until the red and green lights on the
charger both illuminate. For safety purposes, DO NOT charge for over 24 hours.
Charge the battery ONLY with the supplied charger. The charger should be
regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, wires, etc. In the event of
such damage, the scooter must not be charged until it has been repaired or
replaced.
When your scooter is not in regular use or when storing, the battery MUST
receive a charge once a month to maintain its life. To ensure long battery life,
never store the battery in below freezing temperatures. Freezing may
permanently damage the battery. Avoid storing the battery near sources of heat
and in direct sunlight.
Note: If the charger gets warm during regular use, this is a normal response and
is no cause for concern. If your charger does not get warm during use, it does
not mean that it is not working properly
11

Adjustments
Your scooter comes fully adjusted from the factory and should be ready to ride
once assembled and charged. Inspection prior to first use and periodically is
recommended however as adjustments may need to be made due to
shifting/vibration during shipping and from normal usage.
Brakes
NOTE: Brakes may squeak before they are broken in. This is normal and will not
affect the function or performance of the brakes. With continued use the
squeak should go away.
Rear brakes
For brakes that are too loose, adjust the tension screw on the right hand brake
lever by rotating it counter-clockwise until the wheel spins freely. For brakes
that are too tight, adjust the tension screw on the right hand brake lever by
rotating it clockwise until the wheel has a slight drag.
For further rear brake adjustment, locate the adjustment screw on the
rear brake assembly, located on the left of the back wheel. Tighten or
loosen as necessary.
12

Front Brakes
For brakes that are too loose, adjust the tension screw on the left hand brake
lever by rotating it counter-clockwise until the wheel spins freely. For brakes
that are too tight, adjust the tension screw on the left hand brake lever by
rotating it clockwise until the wheel has a slight drag.
For further front brake adjustment, locate the adjustment screw on the front
brake assembly, located on the left of the front wheel. Tighten or loosen as
necessary.
Head Unit
To tighten a head unit that has loosened from use, first rotate the handle bar
as far right as it will go to expose the head unit. Using a large adjustable
wrench, gently turn the bearing lock clockwise to tighten. Do not over tighten
or it will damage the bearings.
13

Chain
To get the longest possible life out of your chain, it must be well properly
tensioned and aligned onto the sprockets in order to avoid uneven wear.
Signs of an improperly tensioned chain:
●The chain is skipping/jumping on the sprocket, or has fallen off
completely, due to being too loose.
●The chain is making a humming sound when the wheel is turning, or has
snapped due to being too tight.
To adjust the chain first slightly loosen the two axle bolts (a) on both sides of
the rear wheel. Then slowly equally adjust the nuts on the two tensioner bolts
on each side of the rear tire until the chain reaches the proper tension. Your
chain should appear snug but give slightly with finger pressure and snap back
into place.
Rotate the rear wheel to make sure the chain is aligned. Finally, lock and
tighten the rear axle bolts prior to riding.
