Get To Know Your Scooter

The electric scooter comes partially assembled.

A diagram identifies the scooter's components: Headlight, Handbrake, Tiller, Accelerator (right thumb throttle), Console, Charger Port, Hook, Hub Motor, Kickstand, Folding Mechanism, Fender Buckle, and Disc Brake.

Assemble Your Scooter

  1. Step 1: Press down on the rear fender, separate the folding hook and fender buckle, then lift the tiller upright. Once the scooter is locked in the upright position, verify by gently trying to fold.
  2. Step 2: Use an Allen wrench to loosen the screws located at the hook and detach. Once you've removed the hook and screws, make sure to remove the cover from the top of the tiller.
  3. Step 3: Place the console into the top of the tiller.
  4. Step 4: Take the cord that is attached to the hook and bring it to the front of the tiller. Pull the handbrake towards you and insert the round metal piece into the opening. String the small silver cord through the solid piece of the handbrake. Make sure the metal piece on the red cord is pushed fully into the handbrake.
  5. Step 5: Grab the red cord and hook and bring it back behind the tiller and reattach the hook to the back of the tiller using the screws and an Allen wrench. (The red cord should go around the tiller.)

Charge Your Scooter

Before using the scooter, you must fully charge the battery.

A diagram shows the charging process: the charging cable connects from the scooter's charging port to the power adapter, which is plugged into a wall outlet.

  1. Open the rubber charging port cover.
  2. Insert the charging plug into the port.
  3. The charger box will have a green light when fully charged and a red light when charging.
  4. When you are done charging, be sure to cover the charging port to keep it clear of dust and debris.
  5. Charging Time: 4 hours

Charging Requirement: Make sure to charge your scooter in conditions that do not exceed 104 degrees Fahrenheit or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Scooter Console Functions

The console on the scooter displays speed in MPH, battery life, and what gear the scooter is currently in.

Diagram 1 shows the scooter console display with indicators for speed, battery, and gear. Diagram 2 shows a finger pressing the red button on the console.

Riding Tips

  1. You will want to start riding your electric 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 handbrake to slow down or stop.
  3. The scooters perform best when on a smooth surface e.g. carparks, smooth roads, footpaths, & bike lanes.
  4. Always clean your scooter (wheels, platform, etc.); it's a machine and it 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 as you would on a bike, cycle through them according to the terrain and elevation. First gear equals more torque for going uphill, Second gear is more speed for straightaways.
  8. Cruise Control: To activate the cruise control press the right-hand throttle down for 10 seconds. To deactivate the cruise control press either the right-hand throttle or brake button to deactivate the cruise control.

Putting Your Scooter Away/Folding

Before folding the scooter, make sure that the scooter is powered off.

Folding: Ensure the electric scooter is powered off, hold the tiller and pull out the spring pin on the right folding panel then rotate the spring pin counterclockwise. 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.

Unfolding: Press the rear fender and pull the tiller up to unfold the electric scooter, the spring pin will insert itself in place within the folding lever to lock the folding mechanism.

Diagram 1 shows the scooter in its upright, unfolded state. Diagram 2 shows the scooter folded.

Maintenance & Repair

If you regularly clean and maintain your electric scooter, it will extend its life.

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

Storage: When you're not using your scooter, store it in a dry and cool location. Avoid storing your scooter outdoors because sun exposure can damage its appearance and may cause wear on the life of the battery and tires.

Tightening the Tiller: If you notice that 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.
