RIDING TIPS

  1. Start riding your scooter with one foot on the platform and one foot on the ground. Use your foot on the ground to push off and, at the same time, press the throttle button to begin movement.
  2. Press the brake-throttle to slow down or stop. For quicker stopping, step on the rear fender foot brake.
  3. The scooter performs best on smooth surfaces like carparks, smooth roads, footpaths, and bike lanes.
  4. Always clean your scooter (wheels, platform, etc.). It's a machine and needs to be maintained.
  5. Do not press the throttle while walking with the scooter beside you.
  6. Be aware of the terrain you are riding on; watch out for curbs and obstacles!
  7. Use the red button to change between gears: First gear provides more torque for going uphill, while Second gear offers more speed for straightaways.
  8. Cruise Control: To activate, press the right-hand throttle down for 10 seconds. To deactivate, press either the right-hand throttle or brake button.
  9. CAUTION: The left paddle control on the console activates the motor's Electro-Magnetic brake. This brake is energized by the motor's operation and will NOT be 100% effective until the motor has been in operation for 30 seconds.

PUTTING YOUR SCOOTER AWAY/FOLDING

Before folding the scooter, make sure that the scooter is powered off and remove the safety pin.

Pull the Tiller towards the back wheel, as shown in the figures. Insert the hook on the tiller into the loop on the rear fender buckle. You may hear a click, which indicates that you were successful in folding and locking the scooter.

? MAINTENANCE & REPAIR

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your electric scooter.

Cleaning and Storage:

If the scooter is dirty, wipe it clean with a soft damp cloth. Store in a dry and cool location. Avoid storing outdoors due to sun exposure, which can damage appearance and wear down the battery and tires.

Brake Adjustments & Service:

If you notice you need brake adjustments or any service, contact the GoTrax customer service team. Do not attempt to repair the scooter yourself, as this can void your warranty and risk damaging the scooter.

Cleaning Restrictions:

DO NOT use alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, or other corrosive chemical solvents to clean the scooter. These can severely damage its appearance and structure. Please do not use a pressure washer, as it may also damage the electronics.

Tightening the Tiller:

If the tiller is loose or wiggles while riding, you can tighten the screws. Open the plastic cover and use the Allen wrench to tighten the screws.

? SAFETY LOCK INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Unfolding:

    Lift the tiller into the upright position and insert the safety lock. Rotate the safety lock clockwise to tighten it before you ride!

  2. Folding:

    Rotate the Safety Lock counterclockwise to pull out the safety lock. Fold the scooter, then insert the safety lock and rotate clockwise to lock it again.
