CHARGING YOUR ZINGO CRUZE BATTERY
If you notice that your ZINGO CRUZE’s performance is reduced, you must recharge
the battery.
To charge, place the charger plug into the wall socket and the charger jack into the
ZINGO CRUZE’s Charging Port (8) as shown below.
The light on the top of the charger will glow red while charging. When it turns green
your battery is fully charged - unplug the charger immediately.
In order to take good care of your ZINGO CRUZE’s battery, ensure that you
adhere to the following:
• Always remove the charger as soon as the charger indicator light turns
green
• DO NOT charge your ZINGO CRUZE for longer than 4 hours at a time as
this will damage the battery and void your warranty
• Charge your ZINGO CRUZE once every 2 weeks. This will maintain the
range and power of your battery
FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE POINTS ABOVE WILL RENDER YOUR
WARRANTY VOID.
Do not expose batteries to fire as they may leak or explode and may injure
those close by and/or cause damage to nearby surroundings. Consult your local
authorities for information on how to dispose of your batteries.
IMPORTANT - BATTERY CARE

Maintenance tasks:
• Always remove your ZINGO CRUZE from the charger as soon as the charger
indicator light turns green
• NEVER CHARGE YOUR ZINGO CRUZE FOR LONGER THAN 4 HOURS AT A TIME
• Check that there is no damage to your ZINGO CRUZE, that the wheels and
trucks are still in good condition
• Regularly clean your ZINGO BLAZE with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Make
sure that no water comes in contact with any electrical parts, including the
power button, charging port or wheels
Storage tips:
• Store your ZINGO CRUZE indoors in a dry place
• Ensure that your ZINGO CRUZE is fully charged when storing. Charge your
ZINGO CRUZE once every 2 weeks in order to keep the battery in good condition
• Your ZINGO CRUZE must not be kept in an environment that is too cold or too hot
• Store your ZINGO CRUZE in its original box to prevent dust accumulating
The maximum travel distance of your ZINGO CRUZE will depend on several factors,
including:
• Terrain: Smooth, flat ground will increase travel distance. Rough or bumpy
ground will reduce travel distance. Do not use your ZINGO CRUZE on gravel,
mud, water, sand or on any off-road surface. Do not ride your ZINGO CRUZE in the
rain, or through any adverse weather conditions
• Rider weight: A light rider will increase travel distance. A heavier rider will
reduce travel distance. The maximum rider weight is 100kg
• Ambient temperature: Extreme hot or cold environments will reduce travel
distance
• Maintenance: Following the recommended battery charging and care
instructions will increase travel distance. Failure to maintain the battery will
reduce travel distance. Regularly check the wheels and all other moving parts
• Speed and riding style: Keeping a medium speed will increase travel distance.
Frequent stopping and starting or accelerating and decelerating will reduce
travel distance
