2. Safety Information

Prior to operating the EV Rider Transport AF+ Scooter, it is crucial to read and understand all safety instructions. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the scooter.

• Stability: This scooter features a 4-wheel design for improved stability compared to older 3-wheel models. However, users should still exercise caution, especially on uneven terrain or when making sharp turns.
• Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 250 lbs (113 kg). Exceeding this limit can compromise the scooter's performance and stability.
• Actuator Lock: The scooter is equipped with an actuator lock, a safety feature designed to prevent accidental folding while the user is seated or the scooter is in operation. Ensure this mechanism is functioning correctly.
• Battery Safety: Use only the provided charger and battery. Do not attempt to modify the battery or charging system. The 11.5 Ah Lithium Battery is FAA approved for safe air travel; however, always confirm current airline regulations before flying.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid operating the scooter in extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain or snow, as this can damage electronic components.

3. Setup

The EV Rider Transport AF+ Scooter comes largely pre-assembled. Follow these steps for initial setup:

1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the scooter and all accessories from the packaging. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Initial Charge: Before first use, fully charge the scooter's battery. Connect the charger to the scooter's charging port and then to a standard electrical outlet. The LED indicator on the charger will change color when charging is complete.
3. Unfolding:
   • Ensure the scooter is on a flat, stable surface.
   • Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position.
   • Press the green button on the included key fob remote control, or the corresponding button on the scooter's rear panel. The scooter will automatically unfold. This process typically takes about 15 seconds.
   • Once fully unfolded, ensure all components are securely locked into place before use.

4. Operating Instructions

Operating the EV Rider Transport AF+ Scooter is intuitive. Familiarize yourself with the controls before your first ride.

• Power On/Off: Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position to power on the scooter. Turn the key to "OFF" to power down. An additional On/Off switch on the side helps conserve battery power.
• Throttle Control: The scooter features a dual-hand two-way throttle control. Push the lever forward to move forward, and pull it backward to reverse. Adjust pressure for speed control.
• Steering: Use the height-adjustable tiller to steer the scooter. The tiller can be adjusted to a comfortable height for the user.
• Braking: The scooter is equipped with rear braking. Releasing the throttle will engage the electromagnetic brake, bringing the scooter to a smooth stop.
• LED Headlight: The integrated LED headlight provides illumination for improved visibility in low-light conditions.
• Folding for Transport: To fold the scooter, ensure it is powered off and on a flat surface. Press the red button on the key fob remote control, or the corresponding button on the scooter's rear panel. The scooter will automatically fold into a compact unit.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your EV Rider Transport AF+ Scooter.

• Battery Care:
  • Charge the battery fully after each use, even if only for a short period.
  • If storing the scooter for an extended period, charge the battery at least once a month to maintain its health.
  • Avoid completely draining the battery, as this can reduce its lifespan.
• Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the scooter. Avoid using excessive water or harsh chemicals, which could damage electronic components or the finish.
• Tire Inspection: Periodically check the solid tires for wear and tear. While solid tires do not require inflation, excessive wear can affect ride quality and safety.
• General Inspection: Regularly inspect all moving parts, connections, and fasteners to ensure they are secure and free from damage. If any issues are found, contact customer support.
