Turning Signal Lights
Your e-scooter has turn signal lights. The turn signal activator is on the left handlebar. Push
it left or right to activate it to indicate that you are turning in the appropriate direction,
and press the middle of the button to turn it off . The turn signals also emit a noise, to
ensure that everyone knows you are turning. This turn signal cannot be disabled without
also disabling the visual signal.
Lights
The headlight and taillight are useful features when you are riding at night or in dark areas.
They radically improve your safety in mixed traffi c. The switch is located on the left handle-
bar. The lights on your e-scooter consume some electricity. Keeping them on may reduce
the maximum distance you can travel on one charge by about 5 %.
Riding in Wet Weather
Your e-scooter is designed to function in wet conditions, such as when it is raining. How-
ever, because the motor is on the rear wheel, it is easy to slip when moving at high speeds.
If it is very wet, be sure to avoid high speeds.
When you are traveling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to function less ef-
fi ciently because it reduces friction between the brake pads and the wheels. Take care to
slow down and give yourself more room to stop or slow if necessary.
Riding in Cold Weather
Your e-scooter is designed to operate year-round. However, in very cold conditions or
when there is a lot of snow or slush on the ground, it is possible for the motor in the
e-scooter to get wet or for the brakes to function less effi ciently, just as can happen in wet
weather. Below
10 degrees Celsius, the battery will not work as well as it would in warmer temperatures.
While Lithium-Ion batteries perform better than Lead-Acid batteries in temperature ex-
tremes, both will experience reduced performance in cold temperatures.
Also, riding the e-scooter in cold temperatures may require you to replace the battery
sooner rather than later.
