Setup and Initial Assembly

Carefully remove the scooter from its packaging. The scooter is designed to fold for transport. Locate the folding mechanism, typically near the base of the steering column, and release it to raise the handlebar stem into the upright position. Secure the locking mechanism firmly.

Some assembly may be required for the handlebars. Attach the handlebars to the stem, ensuring all cables are routed correctly and not pinched. Tighten all bolts securely using the provided tool kit.

3. Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the scooter's battery. Connect the charger(s) to the charging port(s) on the scooter and then to a power outlet. The charging indicator will show the charging status. A full charge typically takes approximately 7 hours with dual fast charging ports.

4. Attaching the Spare Tire (Optional)
