Riding Your Scooter
- Kick-Start Boost: The scooter requires a manual kick-start to initiate movement before the accelerator engages. Push off with your foot to gain a small amount of speed, then press the accelerator.
- Acceleration: Use the thumb throttle on the handlebar to control your speed. Apply gentle pressure for smooth acceleration.
- Braking System: The Hiboy S2 Lite features a double braking system for enhanced safety. It includes an ABS E-brake (electronic brake) on the handlebar and a mechanical pedal brake on the rear fender. For optimal stopping power, it is recommended to use both brakes simultaneously.
