Operating Instructions
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, follow these operating guidelines:
- Starting: Place one foot firmly on the scooter deck. Use the other foot to push off the ground to gain momentum.
- Riding: Once moving, place both feet on the deck, one behind the other. Maintain balance by slightly bending your knees and leaning your body. The scooter's intelligent turning allows for easy steering by leaning.
- Braking: To slow down or stop, gently squeeze the brake lever on the handlebar. Apply pressure gradually to avoid sudden stops. The scooter features rear braking.
- Adjusting Handlebar: The handlebar height can be adjusted for different riders. Ensure the quick-release clamp is securely fastened after adjustment.
