Operating Instructions

The ZING A6 is designed for intuitive operation, allowing the rider to control the speed through their actions.

1. Power On: Simply step onto the foot-board. The intelligent sensor will detect the rider and automatically power on the scooter, illuminating the lights on the footboard and wheels.
2. Starting Movement: To begin riding, kick off the ground with one foot. The power-assisted motor will activate once the scooter reaches approximately 1.2 km/h (0.75 mph).
3. Controlling Speed: The scooter's speed is controlled by the rider's kicking action. The faster the rider kicks, the faster the scooter will go, up to its maximum speed for the selected gear. It will maintain the speed set by the rider's kicking.
4. Changing Speed Gears: To switch between the three speed gears, lightly tread on the rear fender. Each tread will cycle through the available speeds (4.9 mph, 6.2 mph, 7.5 mph).
5. Stopping: To stop the scooter, simply step on the rear fender. This acts as the brake, bringing the scooter to a controlled stop.
6. Power Off: The scooter will automatically power off after 30 seconds of inactivity or when the rider steps off the foot-board.
