2. Slowly lower the riser.
3. Connect the hook on the riser with the hook on the pedal to complete the folding process.

Preparations before Riding

Ensure you are prepared for a safe ride.

• Wear a helmet and knee pads ⛑️? (and appropriate shoes ?).
• Turn on the scooter and check if the power is on ⚡.
• To start, place one foot on the pedal and push off the ground with the other foot to gain momentum.
• Once the scooter is moving (speed ≥ 3km/h), place your other foot on the pedal and press the acceleration button to increase speed.
• To decelerate, release the acceleration button. An energy-saving mode activates as the scooter slows down.
• To brake, pinch the brake lever on the handlebar.
• To turn, slowly turn the handle and tilt your body slightly in the desired direction (left or right).
• It is recommended to bypass obstacles on the road.

Safety Notice and Advice

Adhere to these safety guidelines for a secure riding experience.

General Warnings:

• Do not take sudden turns in crowded areas.
• Do not use the scooter outside permitted laws and regulations.
• Do not use the scooter near water sources.
• Overloading or riding with a child is prohibited (riding by one person only).
• Do not step on the mudguard.
• The brake may become hot during use; avoid touching it immediately after use.
• Do not attempt acrobatics or ride up/down steps or across obstacles.
• If the scooter is damaged, stop using it immediately.
• Keep children away from plastic coverings to prevent suffocation.
• Ride on flat, clean, dry, and level roads, maintaining a safe distance from pedestrians and vehicles.
• Address sharp edges caused by use promptly to avoid injury.

Riding Safety:

• It is not recommended to ride on rainy days ?️.
• On rough roads, bend your knees slightly and ride at a low speed (5-10km/h).
• Avoid hitting high obstacles like door frames or elevators.
• Do not accelerate when going downhill ⛰️.
• Do not press the acceleration button while walking or pushing the scooter.
• When riding is dangerous due to obstacle height or slippery conditions, it is recommended to get off the scooter.
• Do not hang backpacks or heavy objects on the front hook.
• Ensure both feet are on the pedals while riding.

General Safety Advice:

Electric scooters are for entertainment and require careful operation. In public areas, strictly follow operating instructions and all safety guidelines to avoid collisions and injuries. Braking distance increases with speed. Emergency braking can cause slips or falls; maintain appropriate speed and safe distances. On unfamiliar roads, stay alert and ride at a reasonable speed. Always obey traffic laws and be considerate of pedestrians and vulnerable road users. Remind others of your presence if approaching unnoticed. Avoid heavily crowded traffic areas. Violating regulations may lead to accidents and liabilities. Do not lend the scooter to inexperienced riders; provide training and ensure they use safety equipment. Before each use, check for broken parts, flat tires, excessive wear, abnormal noises, or other issues. Regularly check bolt tightness, especially on the wheel axle, folding system, steering system, and brake shaft. Avoid attaching accessories or items not approved by the manufacturer, as they can affect stability.

Maintenance and Adjustments

Keep your scooter in optimal condition.

Disc Brake Commissioning:

If the brake is too tight, use a 5mm hexagonal wrench to loosen the pressure plate screw counterclockwise. Adjust the brake cable to shorten the exposed tail slightly, then tighten the screw. If too loose, loosen the screw, pull the brake cable to extend the tail slightly, and tighten. Re-tighten with an average torque of 20N/M if necessary.

Handlebar Shake Commissioning:

If the vertical tube of your electric scooter shakes during riding, tighten and adjust the screws at the folding mechanism with a hexagonal wrench to 20N/M.

Tire Pumping:

The tire pressure is lowered for transportation. Use the provided tire pump ⛽ to inflate the tires to the pressure indicated on the label.

Daily Charging

Proper charging ensures battery longevity.

• Insert the charger's power supply pin into the battery's charging port, then connect the power plug to the power source.
• The indicator light on the charger is red during charging and turns green when fully charged.
• After charging is complete, unplug the power plug first, then pull out the charger's power supply pin.
• Turn off the meter's power while charging.

Maintenance of Electric Scooter Battery

Follow these guidelines for battery care.

• Ensure the charger's input voltage matches your local power supply.
• Charge and store the scooter in a spacious environment, away from high temperature, humidity, combustible materials, and fire sources.
• The charger may heat up during charging; do not cover it. A surface temperature up to 60°C is normal.
• Charging time should not exceed 12 hours; overcharging can reduce battery life and pose safety risks.
• Optimal lithium battery working and charging temperature is -20°C to 40°C (25°C recommended). Charging is prohibited below -20°C and above 60°C.
• Keep the scooter away from fire, heat, corrosive substances, and direct sunlight.
• Do not drop, impact, or crush the battery.
• Do not expose the charging port to water or immerse it.
• Charge according to the specified time; prolonged charging shortens battery life.
• Use only the original charger to prevent damage.
• After full charge, disconnect the power as soon as possible.
• Recharge the scooter before the battery is completely exhausted to prevent damage from over-discharge.
• If the scooter is not used for a long time (e.g., more than 2 months), recharge it for 2-3 hours.
• Store the scooter in a cool, dry environment and avoid connecting the positive and negative poles with conductive objects.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
• Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.

Note: A fully charged battery offers a standby time of 120-180 days. Failure to charge for extended periods can cause serious, irreparable damage not covered by warranty. Only qualified personnel should disassemble the battery to avoid electric shock.

Maintenance and Repair

Regular checks and maintenance are crucial.

• Check and re-tighten self-tightening fasteners with an average torque of 20N/M as needed.
• Inspect tire pattern for wear or cracks, check tire pressure, and ensure the drive system is smooth.
• Verify the brake system is functioning correctly.
• Regularly check the status of all scooter parts (frame, front fork, stem, brake, etc.).
• Modifications or alterations to the scooter are prohibited.
• If you cannot resolve an operational issue (e.g., replacing worn parts or electronic components), consult a repair shop.

Warning! Like all mechanical parts, this scooter is subject to stress and wear. Component fatigue can lead to sudden failure and injury. Replace components showing cracks, scratches, or discoloration in high-stress areas, as this indicates they have exceeded their service life.

Daily Cleaning of the Electric Scooter:

Wipe the scooter with a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of clean water. For stubborn stains, apply toothpaste and scrub with a toothbrush, then wipe with a damp cloth. Polish scratched plastic parts with sandpaper or other abrasive materials.

Tips: Avoid using alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, or other corrosive/volatile chemical solvents, as they can damage the scooter's appearance and internal structure. Do not use a pressure washer. Ensure the scooter is off, the charging cable is unplugged, and the charging port cover is tightened to prevent electric shock or serious failure due to water ingress.

Noise Emission:

The A-weighted sound pressure level of this scooter is ≤70dB(A).

Specifications

Note: The riding distance is measured at a constant speed of 15km/h in the energy-saving mode with a load of 75kg, at a temperature of about 25°C under full power. The actual riding distance will vary depending on the load, temperature, wind speed, road surface, and operating habits.
