Accelerating and Braking
Throttle tips:
1. Turn the key to the ‘ON’ position, and turn
the throttle gradually to accelerate
2. To prevent losing control of the scooter,
please turn the throttle slowly until the
speed increases.
3. Do not turn the throttle until you are in the
position to drive.
4. To stop, release the throttle and apply the
front and rear brake simultaneously.
5. To move, release the brakes and turn the
throttle gradually.
6. The brushless motor makes a small electro-
magnetic noise when turning the throttle to
start. This is normal.
CAUTION
Never use the economy speed switch while
riding. The scooter must come to a complete
stop before the rider can use this switch. Using
this switch during riding will damage the motor
controller.
Braking tips:
1. For safety, this scooter has a circuit brake
system. When the front and rear brake
is applied or the kick stand is down, the
controller will disable the circuit. Release all
the brakes and ensure the tail light is OFF
before accelerating again.
2. Less frequent, sudden braking will increase
the range.
3. Do not continually operate at full throttle.
Frequently releasing the throttle and running
with inertia will help to much increase your
range. This motor has good torque and the
inertia momentum is enough to run some
distances without electric power.
WARNING
For your safety and security, take the key
out when you are not riding.

Battery gauge and charging instructions
Charging
The battery for this scooter is a sealed, mainte-
nance free D/C battery.
CAUTION
Only the factory-supplied charger can be
used.
Turn off all switches while charging the battery.
Plug one side to a 240V outlet and the other into
the charging plug on the scooter (located under
the seat).
The average charging time is 3 hours (90%) for
the 5000W. To fully charge battery, charging time
will be 4 to 5 hours.
After charging, turn the ignition to the ‘On’ positi-
on and unplug the charger from both sides.
To keep the battery in good condition, charge it
after each use.
Charge the battery fully once a month, even
when the scooter has not been ridden.
Battery Longevity
NOTE
The rider should, if possible, charge the
scooter after every trip as this will help the
battery’s life. The life of the Lithium battery is
1000 deep cycles (80% deep discharged), but
if you charge the battery every time or when
its capacity falls below 50%, the battery life
will be greatly increased. Therefore we advise
the rider to charge the bike as often as pos-
sible. Frequently riding at economical speed
isbetter for battery life and range.
Performance
A range of 55Miles (90km) has been recorded,
yet the distance and speed depend upon various
elements of the rider’s style and the road con-
ditions. A 20mph constant speed will ensure the
longest range but our gures include going at
out too. Other factors include weather, scooter
condition, and battery charge. Riders must be
cautious when riding on rough roads, in poor
weather, or when the battery charge is low.
This scooter has a circuit brake system to protect
the scooter when the brake is applied;
After each trip, the driver should turn off the
scooter, take out the key and charge the battery.
This battery does not have memory (i.e. you do
not have to run it down completely to achieve a
good charge. On the contrary, regular charging
will lengthen the life of the battery) and can be
charged at any time in the cycle of the battery.
CAUTION
Always check the battery gauge while you are
riding and be sure that it does not get too low
too often.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is riding an electric scooter a comfortable
riding experience?
a. Riding an electric scooter is indescribably
more comfortable than riding a gasoline motor
scooter. The silence and the smoothness of a
direct drive electric-motor-powered scooter are
incomparable.
b. Quick accelerating---speed from 0 to 55mph
(88km/H) takes only 6 seconds
What about maintenance?
a. This scooter is designed for minimum main-
tenance. Considering the fact that this scooter
has no combustion engine, no transmission,
no belts, no chains, no fuel, no lubricants, no
ignition plugs, no carburettor, etc., the modular
designed components are practically mainte-
nance free. The unique design of the direct drive
system and the total absence of belts or chains
make this scooter much easier to maintain than
other electric scooters. Practically any scooter
dealer can do most of the maintenance that may
be required. The brushless motor is precisely
that so there is never a need to change the
brushes.
What about parts, is it a problem getting parts
for this scooter?
a. All parts can be purchased directly from the
dealer including batteries, tyres, bulbs, seats
etc.
Can the electric scooter be cleaned or
washed with water without any concern?
a. Due to its waterproof wiring bundle and
Direct Current source and 60V system design,
there is no danger when the scooter gets wet.
b. However, one should be careful not to pour
water directly into the charger outlet, the control-
ler and the internal battery set when washing or
cleaning.
Do you need to wear a helmet to drive the
electric scooter?
a. For safety reasons we always advise the use
of a helmet. However, local law dictates whether
or not riding scooter law obligates a helmet.
Is it easy to recharge the batteries?
a. Yes, it is very easy. The user just needs to
insert the input plug of the Battery Charger into
any regular wall outlet of AC220V and the output
plug into the inlet on the right rear side of the
scooter, which is clearlymarked. This will start
to recharge the batteries. Daily charge of the
battery will lengthen its life cycle.
How long will the batteries last, what is the
batteries life cycle?
a. The battery‘s life cycle will be reduced
or damaged if an insufcient charge level is
retained for a long period of time. Depending
on the user‘s operation, between 1000(80%
discharged) and 2000 cycles (50%discharged).
Normally the batteries should last between two
and three years if the user charges it regularly.
How do I know what the batteries condition
and energy level are?
a. The display panel includes a battery indica-
tor, which indicates the power level remaining.
I. FULL: the index at Green Zone
II. Warning: the Index at Yellow Zone
III. Low Voltage: the index at red Zone.
Fully charged, what is the range of the elec-
tric scooter?
a. The Range is affected by the weight of rider,
the type of terrain and the speed at which the
scooter is driven. Under optimal conditions
(push red button and keep a steady 20mph rate
speed), a range of 70 miles has been recorded
on a single charge.
b. See the specication sheet for the full range
and speed of the models.

Maintenance
This electric scooter represents a new gene-
ration of environmentally friendly two-wheeled
transportation. Therefore, good maintenance will
play a major role in keeping your scooter in good
working condition and prolonging the life of the
batteries.
► To prevent rust always keep your scooter
dry and clean.
► Regularly check the front and rear tyres,
suspension and body frame and all faste-
ners.
► When riding in rain do not go through deep
puddles or muddy areas; excessive water
will cause the motor and other electrical
components to suffer undue harm.
► To prevent rust from forming on the scooter,
avoid parking your scooter in high humidity
and corrosive areas. In winter, wash off the
road salt.
► To avoid damage to the electrical parts of
this scooter, especially the controller, do
not park the scooter in direct sunlight or in
heavy rain.
► Due to the complexity of the electronic
manufacture of this scooter, customers
should never attempt to take out any of the
parts, or attempt major maintenance without
consulting the dealer (this will invalidate the
warranty).
► Never overload and ride the scooter for an
extended period of time, prolonged use
with excessive weight could cause serious
damage to the electronic and mechanical
parts.
► Always check your scooter and perform ne-
cessary routine maintenance - tyres, brakes,
