1.1. Safety Information and precautions before driving the vehicle
This manual contains important safety instructions. Please take the responsibility to review
this information and make sure you understand all cautions, warnings and safety topics.
Always check and obey laws and regulations that are effective in the locations where the
scooter is used. Failure to use common sense and respect safety warnings increases the risk
of injury. Use with appropriate caution.
For a good working condition of your vehicle please keep your scooter well
maintained and follow the rules and recommendations below:
You have to carry your driving license and your insurance certificate with you.
Do not exceed the weight limit.
Wear approved safety equipment such as safety helmet if legally required by local law.
Long-sleeve jacket, long pants, gloves and athletic shoes are recommended.
Before each departure check the tires (pressure and profile depth), the brakes (brake
liquid level, good working order), the lights and the level of charge of the battery.
Familiarize yourself with all the scooter’s features and practice using brakes, lights and
horn.
When driving, obey road traffic rules.
Do not weave between lanes or change lanes suddenly. When you need to change
direction, always check your mirrors, use signals to tell other road users your intentions
and then give a quick over the shoulder glance as a final safety check.
Watch out for potential obstacles that could enter your path and make you lose control
over vehicle.
Never use cell phone or headphones while driving.
Never drive under the influence of alcohol or medications that affect your driving skills.
Drive according to weather conditions, take extra care on wet or icy road. Remember
that on slippery surface your braking distance increases 4 times.

switch when battery reaches 100% full.
IMPORTANT CHARGING INSTRUCTION:
The Power Switch Lock must be in the off position when the electric scooter is being
charged.
The scooter uses a 72V lithium battery. You should charge your electric scooter after

4.3 Brake Inspection:
Front and Rear Hub Brake Main Checking Points:
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. 
Replace brake shoes when the usage surface has reached 1⁄2.
4.4. Charger Inspection:
Use only the authorized charger. Different countries may use different chargers. Do not mix-
up 220V and 110V charger.

Do not turn the battery box upside down during charging.
Check that the welding work in the charger socket is still in good condition.
4.5. Motor and Controller Maintenance:
During rainy season, do not let the water go over the motor center line. This is to protect
the motor from burning or other malfunction.
