When riding, obey the same road traffic rules as all other road vehicles, including giving way to
pedestrians, and stopping at red lights, stop signs and pedestrian crossings.
Ride predictably and in a straight line. Never ride against traffic. Ride defensively. To other road
users, you may be hard to see. Use correct signal lights to indicate turning or stopping.
Concentrate on the path ahead. Avoid potholes, gravel, wet road markings, oil, curbs, speed
bumps, drain grates and other obstacles.
Expect the unexpected such as opening car doors or cars backing out of concealed driveways.
Be extra careful at intersections and when preparing to pass other vehicles.

horns.
Don't carry packages or passengers that will interfere with your visibility or control of the scooter.
Don't use items that may restrict your hearing.
Maintain a comfortable stopping distance from all other riders, vehicles and objects. Safe
braking distance and forces are subject to the prevailing weather conditions.
Please ride slow when road conditions are bad.
Please do not exceed the loading capacity. This will affect the driving distance.
Wet Weather
In wet weather you need to take extra care.
Brake earlier, you will take a longer distance to stop.
Decrease your riding speed, avoid sudden braking, and take corners with additional caution.
Be more visible on the road.
Wear light reflective clothing and use safety lights.
Potholes and slippery surfaces such as line markings and train tracks become more hazardous
when wet.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Before riding the electric scooter for the first time, you must charge the batteries for 6-9 hours using the
supplied charger.
IMPORTANT CHARGING INSTRUCTION:
The Power Switch Lock must be in the off position when the electric scooter is being charged.
The scooter uses a 60V lithium battery. You should charge your electric scooter after each ride. You must re-
charge your electric scooter if it has not been used for 30 days or more. Recharging time is between 6-9 hours.
A. Locating the Charging Socket: Turn the ignition lock to “SEAT OPEN” position, then press and open the
seat buck. Remove the battery from inside and disconnect the plug from the battery case carefully.
B. Charging the Scooter. Turn the scooter off by pointing the key to . Insert the output plug in the
charging socket of the scooter and connect the input plug 220V/110V to the wall socket (please refer to the
illustration on page 7). The battery is fully charged when the charger indicator shows green. We suggest
allowing an extra 1-2 hours charging time to achieve better battery condition. When the battery is fully
charged, remove the charger input plug followed by the output plug.

Kickstand
1. Main kickstand: Use for long time parking.
2. Side kickstand: Use for temporally parking.
WARNING: The side kickstand functions as a circuit cut-off system to prevent scooter moving when turning the accelerator
accidentally. The scooter will only start when the single kick stand has been folded up.
Footboard
Do not put any heavy things on the footboard. This will affect the balance of the scooter and cause potential
danger.
Seat
1. Seat lock: Turn and press the key to “SEAT OPEN” position and the seat can be lifted.

can be approved (10-20mm) by adjusting the adjustable nut clockwise or anticlockwise.
WARNING: The brake is adjusted according to its sensitivity. Press both front and rear brake to give a better braking process.
Avoid braking continuously for a long period of time because that may overheat the brakes and reduce its braking efficiency. When
pressing the brake levers, please release the accelerator.

RIDING RECOMMENDATIONS
Check the spare parts below before riding the scooter:
1. Check the tyre condition for any worn-out
areas or breakage.
2. Check the transmission system condition.
3. Check the tyre pressure.
4. Check the bugle and rear reflector condition.
5. Check all the standard spare parts such as nuts and screws and ensure they are well tightened.
6. Check if the brake cable lanyard functions in smooth condition.
7. Charge the battery when the scooter is not driven regularly. To prolong the battery life, charging
should be carried out 15 days during each summer and 30 days during each winter.
8. Check all the turning parts frequently such as the handle bar. Add lubricant when
needed.
9. Check the light.
RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fold up the kickstand and hold onto the handle bars with both hands. Assume a well-balanced position
on the scooter and push off with your foot.
2. Turn power on (by turning the key from” ”to” ”). Your right hand will control the accelerator.
Twist the accelerator slowly to avoid a sudden rush of speed forward. The speed of the bike will
increase as you twist the accelerator further. Release the accelerator and apply the brakes to stop
your scooter. You will control the speed of the scooter by using both the accelerator and the brakes.
Squeezing the break handle cuts the power to the accelerator.

MAINTAINANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
Battery:
To prolong battery life, store the scooter indoors or in a garage to prevent low temperatures which affect the battery
performance.
1. Do not dismantle or disperse the battery cells.
2. Keep the battery away from children.
3. Do not connect cathode and anode of the charger during charging and discharge process. It is prohibited to
use any conductor to connect both cathode and anode. This will cause a short circuit.
4. Do not dip the battery in water.
5. Do not place the battery in a temperature over 60℃ or next to a high-temperature heat source.
6. Do not knock on, throw or trample the battery.
7. Do not use edge tools or nails to lacerate or cut through the
battery.
8. If a leak occurs and electrolyte comes in contact with the eyes, please do not rub. Wash immediately with
plenty of water.
9. If the battery produces smell, heat or smoke, or if it changes colour, becomes distorted or shown
abnormality, stop using the battery and dispense with it immediately.
Cleaning:
1. Never use high water pressure to wash the scooter. Soaked electrical parts and wiring will affect the
performance.
2. Never apply lubricant to the drum brake and the tyre.
3. Only use lubricant to clean the metal parts of the scooter.
4. Use standard detergent to clean surface of the painted plastic parts and wipe up remainder with cloth.
Brake Inspection:
Front and Rear Hub Brake Main Checking Points:
1. Press the lever (1). While holding the lever adjust the nut (3), so that you can achieve a comfortable distance
for your grip, normally a 1/3-1/2 of maximum gap. The best distance for brake shoes and hub tray is 1.5mm.
2. Replace brake shoes when the usage surface has reached ½.
Charger Inspection:
1. Use only the authorised charger. Different countries may use different chargers. Do not mix-up 220V
and 110V charger.
2. The power switch lock must be in position when the electric bike is being charged.
3. Do not turn the battery box upside down during charging.
4. Check that the welding work in the charger socket is still in good condition.

11
Motor and Controller Maintenance:
1. During rainy season, do not let the water go over the motor centre line. This is to protect the motor from
burning or other malfunction.
2. Do not press both the brake lever and accelerator at the same time when starting the motor to prevent
damaging other parts.
3. Slow down the scooter when the road condition is not good. High vibrations may interrupt the electrical
parts connection.
Regular Maintenance:
