Some parts of your scooter can injure you if mishandled. Moving and folding parts can cut skin. Clamps and pivoting parts such as brake levers can pinch. When folding and unfolding your scooter, please watch for pinch points where possible injury may be sustained. Do not leave your hand in these areas during folding or unfolding.

[Diagram illustrating handlebar attachment and warning indicators on the scooter]

FOLDING & UNFOLDING YOUR SCOOTER

To unfold your scooter, press down on the folding clip and pull the steering column up. Raise the safety lock up and push it into place to secure the steering column. You will hear a “click”, indicating the steering column is locked. Ensure the steering column is secured in place.

[Diagram showing the folding hinge and the action to release the folding clip to fold the steering column]

HIGH SPEED MODE

To activate high-speed mode, ensure the scooter is powered on and not in motion. Press the power button twice. The high-speed mode indicator should light up on your display to indicate it is activated.

CRUISE CONTROL

To activate cruise control, you must hold the throttle at a constant speed above 3mph for 5 seconds. For example, if you want to activate cruise control at 10mph, hold the throttle at 10 mph for 5 seconds. You will hear a beep and the cruise control indicator will light up on the LED display indicating that it is activated. Pressing the accelerator or brake will deactivate cruise control.

BEFORE RIDING

WARNING: Any scooter that does not work properly can cause you to lose control and fall. Do not ride the scooter with a part that is damaged; replace the damaged part before riding.

It is important that you fully understand all elements of your scooter. If these elements are not used correctly, you will not have full control of your scooter. Before you ride, learn the functions of the various mechanisms on your scooter. Practice using these elements of your scooter at slower speeds in a flat, open area before taking the device out in public areas.

PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST

Ensure that your scooter is in proper working order each and every time you ride. If a part of the scooter does not function correctly, please contact our Customer Support Center.

RIDING SCOOTER

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAN AND MAY LEAD TO DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, VOID YOUR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, AND CAN LEAD TO DEATH.

OPERATING YOUR DEVICE

Make sure the device is fully charged before the first initial use. Before turning on your scooter, ride it like a normal kick scooter to get comfortable with the device before using it with the motor.

When comfortable riding the scooter, power it on. For the motor to activate, you must first start riding the scooter and then push the Foot-Pad Throttle down with your foot.

To slow down the scooter, disengage the Throttle and squeeze the Brake handle to engage the disk brake. The Brake is pressure sensitive so a tighter grip means more stopping power.

To turn, use the handlebar to turn in the direction you wish to turn. The scooter can be operated manually if you do not wish to use the motor.

As you get comfortable on the device, you will notice it becomes easier to maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is necessary to shift your weight to overcome the centrifugal force.

Prepare to brace yourself if you encounter bumps or uneven surfaces, then dismount and carry your scooter to a safe operating surface.

WARNING: Do not turn sharply or at high speeds to avoid danger. Do not turn or ride quickly along slopes, as it may cause injury.

WEIGHT AND SPEED LIMITATIONS

Speed and weight limits are set for your own safety. Please do not exceed the limits listed in the "Specifications" section of this manual.

WARNING: Overweight exertion on the device may increase the possibility of injury or product damage.

OPERATING RANGE

The following are some of the major factors that will affect the operating range of your device:

• Terrain: Riding distance is highest when riding on a smooth, flat surface. Riding uphill and/or on rough terrain will reduce distance significantly.
• Weight: A lighter user will have further range than a heavier user.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the device under recommended temperatures, which will increase driving distance, battery life, and overall performance of your device.
• Speed and Riding Style: Maintaining a moderate and consistent speed while riding produces maximum distance. Traveling at high speeds for extended periods, frequent starts and stops, idling, and frequent acceleration or deceleration will decrease overall distance.
• Do not attempt to stop suddenly as this may lead to injury or damage to your brake discs.

WARNING: Proper use of your brake is vital to ensure safe, efficient stopping. To avoid misuse and potential injury, do not apply sudden or excessive force to your brake. Apply the brake gradually and give yourself enough room to come to a complete stop safely.

SAFETY ALERTS

Please follow all local, state, and federal laws in regards to recycling, handling, and disposing of Lead-acid battery.

WARNING: SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IF YOU ARE EXPOSED TO ANY SUBSTANCE THAT IS EMITTED FROM THE BATTERY.

While riding your Scooter, if there is a system error or illegal operation performed, the device will prompt the user in a variety of ways. The following are common occurrences where you will see Safety Alerts. These notices should not be ignored, but appropriate action should be taken to correct any illegal operation, failure, or errors:

• Prohibited riding surfaces (uneven, too steep, unsafe, etc.)
• Battery voltage is too low.
• The device is still charging.
• Overheating, or motor temperature is too high.
• When the battery is about to run out of power, the battery icon will flash.
• If any or both tires are blocked, the device will stop after 10 seconds.
• When the battery level has depleted below protection mode, the device motor will power off after 15 seconds.
• While sustaining a high discharge current during use (such as riding up a steep slope for a long period of time), the device motor will power off after 15 seconds.
