Inspecting your Electric Scooter
Always inspect your e-scooter before you ride it, to make sure its safety features are op-
erating properly. Many accidents can be avoided with routine inspections. Once you are
comfortable with your e-scooter, you will be able to detect small changes in the way it
feels. If anything changes between uses, make sure to have it properly examined. Also, be
sure to listen for changes in the sounds your e-scooter makes over time. Any mechanical
or power issues may have eff ects on the sounds the scooter makes.
Holding the Handlebars
As with a normal scooter or gas scooter, place your fi ngers over the brake levers, using the
palms of your hand and your thumbs to wrap around and under the handlegrips. Doing
this allows you to activate the brakes easily, by squeezing your hand, in case you have to
stop quickly. This is the safe way to control your electric scooter.
Turning your E-scooter On and Off
To turn on your e-scooter, insert the key into the “ignition”, located just below the dash
board, and turn the key to the right. When your e-scooter is activated, the power indicator
will light and the battery charge indicator will jump, showing you how much power your
e-scooter has. To turn off the e-scooter, simply turn the key to the left, and remove the key.
Warning
When you activate the e-scooter, the electrical system becomes live. Do not try to aff ect
changes to the E-scooter (such as removing the battery or repairing electrical compo-
nents) while the E-scooter is activated. Turn the E-scooter off and remove the key before
you attempt to access any of the electrical components. Also, the battery carries a signifi -
cant electric charge and can injure people if not treated properly and with respect.
Accelerating, Decelerating, and Coming to a Full Stop.
The throttle is found on the steering wheel. Apply pressure on the green lever (right) to go
forward. To decelerate, release the right lever and press the red (left) lever. The emergency
brake is located on the top left of the steering wheel. Use this if you need to stop abruptly.
Warning
Do not activate the accelerator until you are seated on the scooter and are ready to accel-
erate. The e-scooter can easily escape from your control, possibly injuring you or others,
and the e-scooter may be damaged by being dropped.
