2. Assembly
Unfolding:
1. With the Kickscooter standing
vertical, pull and hold the toggle down
to release the base from the vertical
body tube. Push the base down to the
floor until you hear a click and the
Kickscooter is at a 90-degree angle.
Folding:
Similarly to unfolding the Kickscooter,
you have to pull and hold the toggle
down and then push down the main
body tube until it becomes parallel to
the base of the scooter. Once again,
you will know it is folded after you hear
a click.
***WARNING***
FINGER TRAP HAZARD
Ensure that you don’t trap your fingers in the gap
between the toggle and the Scooter body tube when
unfolding and folding the Scooter

Whirlwind –K5 –User Manual –P. 7
Attaching Handle Bars:
The Kickscooter will arrive without the
handlebars being attached so this is
something that the user must do.
To do this, align each handle bar to
the grooves found in the left and right
handle bar socket. Rotate each
handle anticlockwise until it is tightly
secured in each groove.
Attach Kickstand:
To attach the kickstand to the Kickscooter, use
the Allen Key provided and loosen the small
screws in the area where the kickstand should
go (please refer to the images provided as
reference). Then, insert these screws into the
holes on the kickstand and fasten it again onto
the Kickscooter.

6. General Advice
* You must always abide strictly to the
User Manual's safety requirements. We
won't take any direct responsibility and
joint liability for any losses in property,
human accidents, legal disputes or
other adverse event caused by the
behaviour of the driver violating the
User Manual guides.
* To avoid injury, please don't lend the Scooter to
people who don't know how to use it. Please
teach them and tell them to wear a helmet and
protective body gear when driving.
* When cleaning and washing the
scooter, make sure it is Powered Off,
unplug the charging cable and cover the
charging rubber cover, otherwise it may
result in serious problems caused to the
scooter from the water.
* If there are stains on the surface of the scooter,
wipe it with a soft wet cloth.
* Store the scooter in a dry and cool room when
not in use; store indoors.
* When using at normal temperatures,
batteries can exert higher endurance
distance and performance. If using
under 0°C, batteries' life and
performance will reduce.
* Don't clean with alcohol, gas, kerosene and
other corrosive and volatile chemical solvent, or
it will badly damage the appearance and internal
structure of the scooter. Pressure washing is
highly discouraged.
