Congratulations, you have purchased an E-GO. You are now the owner of a portable, eco-
friendly mode of transport that is incredibly fun to use. Integrating state of the art
motor technology developed by YUNEEC for use in the aviation industry, E-GO brings to
the streets an experience and convenience that was never available in the past.
Setting aside dated conventions, E-GO focuses on what is essential to the design of a sus-
tainable transport unit that functions in todays urban areas. Combining high performance
with low consumption, the E-GO CRUISER allows you to travel up to 30Km / 18Mi on one full charge.
Its lightweight design and compact dimensions make the E-GO the perfect wingman
wherever you go: simply pick up your board and step into a taxi, bus, train, or indoor location.
Boarding is often linked to extreme sports activities like surfing, skating, or snowboarding
and there are definitely similarities in the amount of freedom experienced when moving
through space. However, E-GO is foremost a city transport unit and distinguishes itself as such
through features such as its advanced braking system, giving the rider more control over his /
her vehicle which is required to ensure the safety of other people as well as his / her own.
Keeping the latter in mind, we would like to suggest you read through this users manual,
to ensure you understand fully how to properly set-up and use your E-GO CRUISER and what
general common sense to apply when riding in a public area. The general rule we personally
tend to follow: Ride with consideration and style. We hope you enjoy your E-GO experience!

TO KEEP YOUR E-GO'S PERFORMANCE
UP TO MAXIMUM YOU WILL NEED TO
DO REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHECKS
(for more info on maintenance please
check page 17), MAKING SURE THE BOARD
IS NOT OBSTRUCTED BY DIRT AND ALL
NUTS AND BOLTS ARE PROPERLY TIGH-
TENED. TO TIGHTEN AND LOOSEN THESE
NUTS AND BOLTS, YOUR E-GO CRUISER
COMES WITH A SPECIFIC TOOL - THE
TRUCK TOOL - THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO
THAT. IN GENERAL YOU SHOULD MAKE
SURE ALL PARTS ARE SCREWED ON THERE
NICE AND TIGHT, WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF THE KINGPIN NUT WHICH CAN BE
ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO YOUR PERSONAL
RIDING STYLE.
THE TRUCK TOOL
TIGHTENING THE KINGPIN WILL GIVE A MORE
STABLE, RIGID RIDE. LOOSENING THE KINGPIN
NUT WILL MAKE THE BOARD MORE MANEUVER-
ABLE AND DECREASES THE DIAMETER OF YOUR
TURN RADIUS, ALLOWING SHARPER TURNS.

Make sure the 'BLUETOOTH' switch (ill. 4)
is switched to the side closest to the
motor, then turn on the board by switching
the power switch on. The board should
now beep once and its battery status
indicator should be flashing fast.
5
1
Use the pin tool (page 8) to slide the
speed switch (positioned on the left
side of the controller) fully down.
Slide down the riding mode switch
(positioned on the left side of the
wireless controller) to 'ECO' mode.
2
Begin with the 'BLUETOOTH' switch
flipped toward the right (closest to the
motor). Immediately after powering the
board ON, move the ‘BLUETOOTH’ switch
to the left (furthest away from the motor)
and back to the right (closest to the
motor). Then the battery status indicator
should go from flashing fast to flashing
more slowly.
4
Slide down the wireless controller’s throttle / brake in the lowest possible
position, and hold it there. At the same time, press and release the start button
while the throttle/brake is still held down. After 7 seconds, the controller will show
8 green flashes, followed by blue flashes. At this point release the throttle / brake.
The board should now beep a second time, indicating a successful synchronization.

THE E-GO CRUISER FEATURES 2 SPEED MODES: A FAST MODE - WITH A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 20 KM/H
OR 12.5 MPH - AND A SLOW MODE OR BEGINNER MODE - WITH A LIMITED SPEED OF 13 KM/H OR 8 MPH).
THE E-GO CRUISER WILL TAKE YOU UP INCLINES OF UP TO 10% FOR A SUBSTANTIAL DISTANCE.
(ON VERY STEEP INCLINES, THE ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLLER IN THE ECU MAY OVERHEAT AND
EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT POWER LOSS, OR THE ECU MAY EVEN SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY.)
THE E-GO CRUISER FEATURES A REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM (RBS) THAT RECYCLES POWER USED
WHEN BRAKING TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY. BE AWARE THAT RBS STOPPING PERFORMANCE VARIES
DEPENDING ON RIDER WEIGHT AND CONDITIONS.
AT JUST 6.3 KG / 13.9 LBS, THE E-GO CRUISER IS LIGHTWEIGHT AND PORTABLE WHICH WORKS IN
COMBINATION WITH AN ARRAY OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
11
TO FULLY CHARGE THE E-GO CRUISER'S BATTERY, A CHARGE TIME OF 3 TO 5 HOURS FROM A STANDARD
A/C POWER SOURCE IS NEEDED. TO FULLY CHARGE THE WIRELESS CONTROLLER A CHARGE TIME OF
ABOUT 50 MINUTES FROM ANY USB PORT IS NEEDED.
THE E-GO CRUISER ALSO FEATURES 2 RIDING MODES: THE ECO MODE - WITH A LOWER ACCELERATION
CURVE - AND THE SPORT MODE - WITH A HIGHER ACCELERATION CURVE. RIDING IN ECO MODE WILL
DEMAND LESS POWER FROM THE BATTERY THUS MAXIMIZING THE EGO CRUISER'S RANGE.

troubleshoot
Check if the board is powered on. When turning on the board you should
hear two beeps and its status indicator light should come on.
Check if the controller is powered on. When turning on the controller, its
blue light should start flashing.
If both the board and controller are powered on, and the wireless controller's
green light is not flashing, it means the board and controller are not syn-
chronized (see page 10).
If both board and controller are powered on, and both the controller's blue
and green light are flashing but you don`t hear a beep and the board does
not start, turn off the board and turn it on again.
If the board and controller are synchronized and the controller's blue light
is followed by a red flashing light and vibration, it means the board's battery
is low and needs to be recharged.
If board and controller are synchronized and the controller's green light is
followed by a a red flashing light and vibration, it means the controller's
battery is low and needs to be recharged.
