Assembly Steps:

1. Unfold the pole and secure the folding lock.
2. Align the communication line terminals of the instrument (display) and the controller, ensuring a proper connection.
3. Align the T-bar (handlebar assembly) with the pole and insert it. Use the provided screws to install and fix the T-bar securely.

Folding Steps:

1. Lift the folding wrench/lever.
2. Open the folding wrench.
3. Fold the pole downwards.
4. Gently press the hook down onto the rear baffle to secure the folded position.

Battery Removal and Installation:

To Remove the Battery:

1. Unscrew the pedal cover screw counterclockwise [?].
2. Lift the pedal cover from the quick-release screw on the rear wheel side.
3. Unplug the charging plug and the power plug of the controller.
4. Lift the battery strap and carefully take out the battery.

To Install the Battery:

1. Place the battery vertically into the scooter.
2. Connect the charging plug and the power plug of the controller to the battery.
3. Cover the pedal and fasten the silicone edge of the pedal.
4. Install the screws and tighten them clockwise [?].

4. How to Ride

Ensure safe riding by following these steps:

1. Wear a helmet and other protective gear before riding [⛑️].
2. Long-press the power button to turn on the scooter. Stand on the pedal with one foot and gently press the accelerator while pushing off with the other foot on the ground.
3. Once the scooter is moving, place your second foot on the pedal and maintain a stable stance.
4. Continuously press the throttle to accelerate. Turn the handlebar to steer.
5. To slow down or stop, firmly hold the brake grip. Lightly stepping on the rear fender can also assist braking.
6. You can dismount when the scooter has stopped or is moving at a very slow speed.

Important Riding Notes:

• Riding in rain or snow may extend braking distance; slow down accordingly.
• The rear brake is for normal use. For emergency braking, use both front and rear brakes together. Avoid using only the front brake at high speeds to prevent rollovers.
• Do not ride at high speeds until you are familiar with the scooter's performance to avoid accidents.

5. Safety Notes

Adhere to these safety guidelines for a secure riding experience:

• Traffic Laws: Abide by all traffic laws. Do not ride electric scooters in motor lanes [??].
• Parking: Do not park scooters in building lobbies, evacuation corridors, or safety exits [??].
• Impairment: Do not ride after consuming alcohol or taking medication [???].
• Load Capacity: Maximum load is 120 kg. Do not exceed this limit [⚖️ 120kg].
• Water Hazards: Avoid riding on roads with deep water, as it can be dangerous [??].
• Age and Health: Pregnant women and users younger than 14 years old are not permitted to ride [?14+].
• Obstacles: Do not ride up or down steps, or jump over obstacles [??].
• Control: Do not ride with one or both hands off the handlebar while in motion [✋✋].
• Passengers: Do not ride with multiple people or carry children simultaneously [?‍?‍?‍?].
• Modifications:
  • Do not modify the battery privately. Unauthorized battery modifications are dangerous and can lead to explosions or fires.
  • Do not modify the electric scooter privately. This can destabilize the electronic system and cause riding hazards [?️?].
• Pre-Ride Checks:
  • Before riding, carefully check the scooter's condition. Ensure no parts are loose or damaged [✔️].
  • Verify that the power circuit, front and rear lights, reflectors, and brakes are functioning correctly. Stop using and repair immediately if any abnormality is found [?⚙️].
• Tire Pressure: Recommended tire pressure is 320-350 Kpa [?].

6. Battery Instructions

Proper charging and maintenance are crucial for battery longevity and performance.

6.1 Battery Parameters

• Type: Li-ion battery
• Capacity: 18.2 Ah
• Rated Voltage: 48V
• Max Charging Voltage: 54.6V
• Max Charging Current: 2A
• Charging Temperature: 0-40°C
• Operating Temperature: -10-40°C
• Charging Time: 9-10 hours
• Storage Time: 3 months (at -10-40°C, full charge)

6.2 Warnings for Battery

• Charge and use the battery within the specified temperature range for stable performance.
• Ensure the charger is disconnected when installing or removing the battery.
• Never dissolve, pierce, or allow metal objects to contact battery terminals, as this can damage the battery.
• Do not disassemble or pierce the battery pack casing to prevent short circuits.
• If water enters the battery circuit, stop use immediately and contact after-sales service to avoid fire or explosion risks.
• Only use the original adapter provided for charging.
• If the battery appears broken, emits a bad smell, or feels hot, stop using it and keep it away from other items.
• Storing the battery after a full charge helps prolong its lifespan.
• Do not store the battery at temperatures below -20°C or above 50°C.
• If the battery is not used for over 30 days, charge it to at least 80% capacity. Charge fully every 90 days to maintain battery function.
• Charging after each ride, rather than running the battery completely empty, significantly prolongs its lifespan. Battery performance is optimal at room temperature; performance and range degrade at temperatures below 0°C (potentially halving the range at -10°C).
• Do not charge or park electric scooters in residential buildings. Keep away from combustibles when charging, and avoid prolonged charging times.
• Improper disposal of used batteries can cause environmental pollution. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.

Tips:

• The battery enters a protected state and cannot be charged if its internal temperature exceeds 50°C.
• After a full charge, the scooter's stored power depletes in about 90-120 days of standby. If not recharged promptly, excessive discharge can cause irreversible battery damage, which is not covered by warranty.

6.3 Charging Steps

1. Open the charging port cover. Ensure the port is clean and dry.
2. Connect the charger to the battery and the other end to a power source (100V-240V; 50/60Hz). The charging indicator should turn on.
3. Monitor the charger's indicator light. A change in light color indicates a normal charging process.
4. The indicator turns green when charging is complete (approximately 99%). Stop charging to preserve battery life; prolonged overcharging can affect it.

Charging Methods:

• Method 1 (Integrated Charging): Open the charging port cover, connect the charger's DC plug to the scooter's charging port, and plug the power cord into a socket.
• Method 2 (Battery Removal): Remove the battery, open its silicone charging port, plug the charger DC plug into the battery charging port, and connect the power cord to a socket.

Note: Only use the original electric scooter charger. Using other chargers may cause danger due to voltage mismatch.

8. Maintenance

8.1 Maintenance Considerations

• Ensure the charger and charging line are disconnected, and the scooter is powered off before maintenance.
• Wipe the scooter's shell with a soft cloth. Avoid applying excessive lubricating oil to bearings.
• Check the brake system and tires monthly, as they are vulnerable parts. If brake performance or tire grip decreases, contact a dealer for replacement parts.
• Do not replace accessories with non-manufacturer-provided parts, as this can cause safety hazards due to incompatibility.
• Do not clean the scooter using a water cannon or by submerging it in liquid, as this can permanently damage electronic components.
• For user safety, do not disassemble the electric scooter. Doing so will void the product's warranty rights.

Storage Tips:

• Charge the scooter before storage to prevent long-term battery discharge. Charge at least once every three months.
• If the storage temperature is below 0°C, do not charge. Bring the scooter indoors to a temperature above 10°C before charging. Recommended storage temperature range is -10°C to 35°C.
• Store the scooter indoors in a dry place with appropriate temperature. Consider covering it to protect it from dust.

8.2 Maintenance of Tires

The tires are pneumatic. If the tire height sinks by 20%-30%, it needs inflation. The recommended tire pressure is 320-350 Kpa. Inflate tires at least once every 2-3 months. Regular checks can reduce punctures and extend tire life.
