Introduction
Welcome to the user manual for your new Windgoo Electric Scooter. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your scooter. Please read it thoroughly before your first ride and keep it for future reference.
The Windgoo e-scooter is a modern, economic, and ecological mode of transport designed to save time and enhance your daily commute. It offers a convenient way to navigate urban environments, providing a fresh air alternative to traditional transportation. It is an ideal means of transport for school, work, office, short trips, metro connections, and home use.
Product Features
Powerful Motor and Durable Battery
Equipped with an upgraded 350W motor, it can reach speeds up to 25 km/h, travel up to 20 km, and support a maximum load of 120 kg. This scooter reduces the need for public transport, minimizing contact with others. The long-range lithium-ion battery ensures reliable performance for your daily commutes.
Lightweight and Foldable Design
The scooter features a lightweight aluminum frame and can be folded in just one step, making it highly portable. With a net weight of approximately 12.2 kg, this device is also easy to transport, allowing you to carry it into metro stations or elevators, offering unparalleled convenience for multi-modal travel.
Safe Braking System
Safety is paramount. The integrated braking system combines a magnetic brake on the front wheel with a physical brake on the rear wheel, providing reliable stopping power. Large taillights enhance visibility, ensuring other road users clearly see your location, especially during night rides.
Intuitive LED Display
An intuitive LED display provides real-time information, including current speed, selected speed mode, and battery life. The battery charges fully in 4-5 hours, making it ready for your next journey. This display helps you monitor your ride parameters at a glance.
Setup and Assembly
Your Windgoo Electric Scooter comes mostly pre-assembled. Follow these steps to prepare it for its first use:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure you have the scooter, charger, and this user manual.
- Unfolding the Scooter:
Locate the folding mechanism near the base of the handlebar stem. Release the latch and carefully lift the handlebar stem until it locks into the upright position. Ensure the locking mechanism is securely engaged before proceeding.

Riding Your Scooter
- Power On: Press and hold the power button on the LED display until it illuminates.
- Kick Start: For safety, the scooter requires a kick start. Place one foot on the deck and use the other foot to push off the ground, gaining a small amount of momentum (approx. 3-5 km/h).
- Accelerate: Once moving, gently press the accelerator lever with your thumb. The scooter will begin to accelerate. Gradually increase pressure for smoother acceleration.
- Braking: Release the accelerator and gently squeeze the brake lever to slow down or stop. For emergency stops, apply firm pressure to the brake lever.
- Turning: Lean your body slightly in the direction you wish to turn. Avoid sharp turns at high speeds.
- Folding for Storage/Transport: To fold, ensure the scooter is powered off. Release the folding latch and carefully fold the handlebar stem down until it clicks into place.

Safety Guidelines
- Always wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear (knee pads, elbow pads).
- Familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations regarding electric scooter use.
- Do not ride in heavy rain, on slippery surfaces, or through puddles deeper than 2 cm.
- Avoid riding on uneven terrain or over large obstacles.
- Maintain a safe distance from pedestrians and other vehicles.
- Do not perform stunts or sudden maneuvers.
- The maximum load capacity is 100 kg. Exceeding this may affect performance and safety.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Windgoo Electric Scooter.
- Cleaning:
Wipe the scooter with a damp cloth after each use. Do not use high-pressure water jets or immerse the scooter in water. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
- Battery Care:
Charge the battery regularly, even if the scooter is not in use for extended periods (at least once a month). Do not fully discharge the battery before recharging. Store the scooter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Tire Maintenance:
Regularly check tire pressure and inflate to the recommended PSI (found on the tire sidewall). Inspect tires for wear, punctures, or damage. Replace worn tires promptly.
- Brake System:
Periodically check the brake levers and cables for proper tension and function. Ensure the disc brake on the rear wheel is clean and free of debris. If braking performance degrades, have it inspected by a qualified technician.
