Steering
Steering the scooter is eff ortless and simple. Before you begin your practice, ensure that
there are no obstacles in the way.
To steer, simply rotate the tiller (handlebars) to the desired direction; the more you rotate,
the more sharp the turn. Begin by slowly moving forward and steering the tiller at small
angles; gradually increase the angle for your turn to familiarize yourself with the maxi-
mum turning radius.
Practice by making gentle “S” patterns in both forward and reverse as much as necessary.
When steering through limited spaces (such as a doorwar or hallway), make sure to mind
the width of your scooter. When approaching doorways, take your time and proceed slow-
ly to prevent injury to yourself or others or damage to the scooter.
When turning around corners, always keep a safe distance from the wall you are turning
towards. Most importantly, you want to ensure that your rear tires will clear the corner
without getting caught.
Never turn sharply while the scooter is at top speed! Always exercise caution when taking
corners. Failure to do so can cause injury and damage.
Turning off FreeWheel mode
When you fi rst turn on your e-scooter, you may notice the battery indicator fl ash. This
means the scooter is on FreeWheel mode and it will not allow for drive functions. Free-
Wheel mode puts the scooter in a neutral mode so it can be pushed while parked.
To turn off FreeWheel mode, locate the lever located in the rear, next to the rear shocks.
Place it in the down position. Doing so will lock the wheels when parked, and this will al-
low the scooter to accelerate normally.
Long-Term Storage of your E-scooter
If you are storing your scooter for a long period, disconnect the circuit breaker. This is a
safer way to store the electric scooter, as it prevents accidental activation of the e-scooter
and makes it impossible to activate it even with the key.
Please see the section titled “Your Battery” for instructions on battery maintenance while
your e-scooter is being stored.
