Introduction

Thank you for choosing the EVERCROSS Electric Scooter EV06C (hereinafter referred to as EV06C). This manual provides essential information for safe operation and maintenance. Please read it carefully before use.

Note: All pictures in this manual are for reference only; please refer to the actual product.

Before You Begin

1. Before Riding

Riding an electric scooter involves risks of injury from loss of control, collisions, and falls. Following the instructions and warnings in this manual can reduce risks, but not eliminate them entirely. Always use common sense when riding.

• The product is for recreation only and not intended for transportation. Mastering riding skills requires practice and caution. EVERCROSS is not responsible for injuries, damages, or legal disputes arising from inexperience or failure to follow instructions.
• When in public places, always comply with local laws and regulations. In areas without specific laws, follow the safety guidelines in this manual.
• Do not modify the scooter or change parts yourself. Use only EVERCROSS approved parts and accessories. Modifications may affect operation, cause injury/damage, or void the warranty.

Riding Surfaces and Environment

• This scooter is designed for flat, dry paved surfaces in an open outdoor space, free from pedestrians, skateboards, bikes, or other riders.
• Never use the scooter in roadways, near motor vehicles, steep inclines, steps, swimming pools, or other bodies of water. Avoid construction sites, sudden surface changes, drainage grates, potholes, cracks, hydrants, parked cars, speed bumps, and other obstacles. Do not ride on loose grounds like rocks, gravel, or sand.
• Do not ride in snow or rain. Water submersion can damage the battery, leading to fire or explosion.
• Do not ride in extreme temperatures or low visibility conditions (dawn, dusk, night).

2. When Riding

• Always wear a helmet and other protective gear. Use an approved bicycle or skateboard helmet that fits properly and provides back-of-head protection.
• DO NOT bypass obstacles. Slow down in unfamiliar areas and when riding near trees, posts, or fences. Always slow down when turning.
• Be alert and aware of your surroundings. Your eyes are crucial for avoiding obstacles and low traction surfaces (wet ground, loose sand, gravel, ice).
• Avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration. Never exceed the designed top speed, which can be affected by rider weight, battery level, and incline. Faster speeds require longer braking distances. Sudden braking on low traction surfaces can cause wheel slip or falls. Maintain a safe distance from others.
• Do not touch moving or spinning wheels. Keep hair, clothing, and similar items away from moving parts.

⚠️ WARNING: If the scooter makes abnormal sounds or signals an alarm, stop riding immediately.

3. Who Should Not Ride

1. Individuals with diseases (especially affecting the head, heart, back, or neck) that put them at risk during strenuous physical activity.
2. Individuals with health conditions that interfere with their ability to maintain balance.
3. Individuals whose age, height, or weight fall outside the stated limits.
4. Individuals with compromised mental abilities who cannot understand the risks and proper operation.

⚠️ WARNING: This scooter is unsuitable for children under 6 years due to its maximum speed.

4. Safe Use

• Do not ride when ambient temperatures exceed the product's operating temperature, as low/high temperatures can decrease performance and lead to accidents.
• Always park with the kickstand on a flat, stable surface. Check stability and avoid parking in busy areas; park along a wall instead.
• Regular maintenance of the scooter is recommended.
• Please read the user manual before charging the battery.

⚠️ WARNING: Only use the charger and battery supplied by the manufacturer.

• Never allow children to touch scooter parts with gaps, such as the folding mechanism, fender brake, or wheels.
• Do not touch the brake or hub motor after riding to avoid burns from increased temperature.

Pre-Ride Checklist

If you have concerns about the product's safety or notice any abnormalities, stop using it immediately and contact customer service.

• Brake: Check for proper function. Squeezing the lever should provide positive braking action. When the brake is applied with the throttle engaged, the brake cut-off switch should cut power to the motor.
• Frame, Fork and Handlebars: Check for cracks or broken connections. Inspect regularly.
• Hardware/Loose Parts: Ensure no loose fasteners or damaged components. Check all functional parts (frame, handlebar, tires) and ensure the steering system is well adjusted. Verify all locking devices are engaged.
• Safety Gear: Always wear a helmet, elbow pads, and kneepads. Wear athletic shoes with rubber soles and ensure shoelaces are tied and away from moving parts. NEVER ride barefooted or in sandals.
• Tire: Periodically inspect tires for excess wear and replace as needed.
• Wheels: Periodically inspect wheels for excessive wear.

Learn to Ride

⚠️ WARNING: Always wear a helmet and other protective gear to minimize injury during learning. Adult supervision is required.

1. Turn on the scooter. If the battery indicator is red, charge immediately.
2. Hold the handlebar firmly with both hands. Place one foot on the footboard and start kicking with the other foot.
3. When the scooter starts cruising, place both feet on the footboard and maintain your balance.

Accelerate and Decelerate

Acceleration Notes:

• Cruise Mode: Maximum speed is 6.2 mph (10 km/h) within 0.6 mi (1 km) mileage.
• Turbo/Safe Mode: The motor will not engage before the speed reaches 3 mph (5 km/h).

Deceleration:

⚠️ WARNING: Stay alert and avoid abrupt acceleration or deceleration to prevent imbalance, loss of traction, and falls. DO NOT perform stunts. Both tires must remain on the ground.

⚠️ WARNING: Stay calm and do not jump off the scooter.

Turning: Shift your body and turn the handlebar slightly.

Dismounting: When the scooter has stopped cruising, step off one foot at a time. Be extra cautious when dismounting for the first time.

Safety Warnings and Cautions

⚠️ WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions could lead to serious injuries. Parents or carers must supervise the rider. Ensure you and your child understand all warnings and safety cautions.

• DO NOT ride on public roads, motorways, or highways. Serious danger or death can occur.
• DO NOT ride through bumpy roads or road bumps. Get off and push the scooter.
• DO NOT press the throttle when walking alongside the scooter.
• DO NOT ride the scooter with only one foot.
• DO NOT take your hands off the handlebar while riding.
• DO NOT rotate the handlebar abruptly or violently.
• DO NOT ride in the rain. If there is a puddle, circle around it at a low speed.
• Stay alert and DO NOT perform any other activities while riding.
• To avoid pinching, DO NOT touch parts with gaps.

The recommended minimum rider age is 6 years and older. Riders unable to fit comfortably should not attempt to ride. A parent's decision to allow a child to ride should be based on the child's maturity, skill, and ability to follow rules.

Do not exceed the weight limit of 60 kg. Rider weight does not necessarily indicate a person's size is appropriate for control.

• Always check and obey local laws and regulations regarding scooter use. Keep safely away from cars and motor vehicle traffic. Use only where allowed and with caution.
• The normal powered top speed is approximately 15 km/h, affected by rider weight, inclines, and battery charge. Avoid excessive speeds, especially on downhill rides.
• The electric scooter is intended for flat, dry surfaces like pavement or level ground, without loose debris. Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven, or rough surfaces can impair traction and cause accidents. Do not ride in mud, ice, puddles, or water. Watch for obstacles that could catch the wheel or cause loss of control. Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and sudden surface changes.
• Do not attempt stunts or tricks. The scooter is not designed for abuse like jumping or curb grinding. Racing or stunt riding increases the risk of loss of control.
• Do not ride in wet or icy weather. Never immerse the scooter in water, as electrical and drive components can be damaged. Do not use on surfaces that could be damaged by an electric scooter, such as carpet or flooring, indoors.
