Tools Required:
- Appropriate Allen wrenches or screwdrivers for handlebar mounting.
- Wire cutters/strippers (if wiring modifications are needed).
- Electrical tape or heat shrink tubing for secure connections.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Handlebar: Ensure there is sufficient space on your electric scooter's handlebar for mounting the ZQ-100 unit. You may need to remove existing grips or accessories.
- Mount the Unit: Loosen the mounting screws on the ZQ-100's bracket. Position the unit on the handlebar and tighten the screws securely. Ensure the display is easily visible and the throttle lever is comfortably accessible.

- Carefully connect the 6-PIN connector. Ensure a firm and secure connection.
- For the electric door lock, connect its wires to the scooter's power circuit as per your scooter's specifications. This typically involves connecting to the main power supply to enable/disable the scooter.
- Secure Wires: Route and secure all wires to prevent them from snagging or interfering with steering. Use zip ties or cable clips if needed.
- Test Functionality: Before riding, perform a thorough test. Insert the key and turn it to the "ON" position. The LCD display should illuminate. Test the throttle response and ensure all functions (e.g., lights if connected via the switch) are working correctly.
Note: Incorrect wiring can damage the unit or your scooter. Consult a qualified technician if you are unsure about the electrical connections.

5. Care and Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ZQ-100 unit.
