2. Check to see that vehicle lock is open and supports are retracted and the entire vehicle is in
working condition.
3. Grip the handle bar with both hands, turn the handle in right hand slowly in the counter
clock wise direction. Now the motorcycle is electrically started and begins to move slowly and
smoothly.
4. The vehicle has the function of power off when brakes are applied. When riding either
applying right hand/left hand brake or it will cut off power in order to protect the motor and
ensure safety.
5. Once the voltage indicator in the instrument board at the vehicle head shows inadequate
voltage be sure to stop riding and have the battery charged.
6. When riding uphill the applied current will be comparatively higher, this may have a shock
to the motor and battery. Therefore, to prolong the lifespan of the motor and the battery it is
recommended that you don’t push it too hard when going uphill.
7. Turn off power after stopping and take off the key to be safe.
8. After starting go slow with accelerating as sudden acceleration may waste power and may
damage electrical elements.
9. Under the condition that safety must have number one consideration, try and avoid constant
application of brakes or re-starting when riding, in order to save power.
10. When riding be sure to avoid keeping the speed handle turned-in while applying brakes in
order to avoid instant start causing overload to motor and damaging other elements.

going. Star moving only after you are sure everything around is safe.
Braking and parking
Braking
1. In normal conditions apply both front and rear brakes simultaneously.
Note: Slow down by gently applying the brakes, as that is the way of braking.
Warning
●Applying either the front or rear brake only may reduce braking effect and cause the vehicle
side slipping or overturn
●To prevent side slipping, loss of control, please be sure to cut speed and to apply brakes when
making a turn
●When riding on wet, rainy and frozen roads with very smooth surface, the braking distance is
longer. Please keep in that in mind.
●Avoid sudden application of brakes and sharp turns to prevent loss of control
Parking
1. Have the speed handle reset quickly
2. Apply simultaneously the front and rear brakes(now the brake light is on )
3. Turn on the turning light to indicate the vehicle pull over and slowly go sidewise
