GETTING STARTED

YOUR SCOOTER WILL COME CHARGED OUT OF THE BOX BUT YOU MUST CHARGE YOUR E-LITE 250 FOR 6-8 HOURS EVEN IF THE LIGHT IS GREEN PRIOR TO FIRST USE!
Before you Ride

The E-Lite is sh ipped with the Handlebars unattached.
You need to insert the accelerator and brake levers into the handlebars. To insert, remove the screws from the handle bar, then insert the right and left handle and align the holes. (Fig.1). Then insert the screws through the holes and tighten the nuts. (Fig. 2).
*Note: the Accelerator Lever (the one with the shorter lever) goes on the right, the Brake Lever goes on the left.
Make sure all of the bolts are tightened. Also make sure to insert the bolts in the correct way with the nuts on the back side of the handlebars as in Fig. 2
Make sure the tires are inflated to 50 PSI as tires may lose pressure during shipping. For information on inflating tires, please refer to page 10.

Note: It is not advisable to operate your Power Boar d on low tire pressure. This will negatively affect speed, handling and performance.

Quick Release Deck

The E-LITE is equipped with a quick release deck to make it easier to get to the batteries and the pc board. To release the deck locate the two levers towards the front of the deck. (FIG. 3). Pull up on the levers to release the deck then slide it forward as you pull up on it to remove it. To replace the deck simply slide the deck back into place and push down until you feel the levers snap into place.
The E-lite comes with 2 12V-8AMP batteries. The batteries come in a pack that is located under the deck. The battery pack has one set of wires coming out of the bag.(Fig. 4) This wire is connected to the pc board. The battery pack can also be removed from the scooter and charged separately when you purchase the hot swappable battery pack which includes the charging adapter.

The scooter comes with a 1.1AH charger. (Fig. 5) To charge your scooter you must plug the adapter in to the control panel on the scooter (Fig. 5A) and plug the charger into the wall. The LED light on the control panel will let you know that status of batteries while they are charging. For hot swap battery charging see the instruction sheet that comes with the hot swap battery pack.
*Note: full charging takes approx. 6-8 hours from full discharge. It is recommended that you charge your Power Board after each use.
To charge batteries externally. Purchase the hot swap battery pack from your local dealer or from us here at Bladez. www.ebladez.com or call us at 866-EBLADEZ
*It is recommended on initial charge to charge for 6-8 hours even if the light is GREEN.
Unfolding
To unfold your E-Lite, hold the unit with one hand, while gently pulling up on the handlebars with the other.
Fully extend the handlebars to their upri ght position until you feel the mechanism lock into place.
You are now ready to ride your Power Board!
Riding
Makes sure that all of t he bolts and screws are tightened.
Raise the kickstand to its upright position.
PRESS THE ON/OFF Bu tton once (Fig 6). The POWER INDICATOR light will blink RED and then Turn GREEN (indicating the E-Lite in ON and ready to ride).
Put one foot on the de ck of the E-Lite. After pushing off with the other foot, gently squeeze the ACCELERATOR LEVER, on the right side of the handlebars. The Power Board will begin to move on its own power.
Your E-Lite 250 has a variable speed throttle lever. You can control the speed of your scooter by the amount of pressure you use when depressing the throttle lever.
The more you depress the throttle the faster you will go.
To stop, release the accelerator handle and depress the BRAKE LEVER (on the left side of the handlebars). Depressing the brake will temporarily disengage power to the motor.
When you feel your Power Board moving slow, sluggish or running out of power, it is time to recharge. (See charging instructions)

Note that there is still charge in the battery but it is not advisable to fully discharge the batteries.
FOLDING AND STORAGE
1. To fold your Power Board. Using one hand, gently pull up on the Folding Handle, while lowering the handlebars with the other (Fig. 7A).
2. Lock the unit into the folded position by rotating the locking hook over the folded handlebars (Fig. 7B).

When you are done riding the E-Lite you can fold it down for compact storage, carrying and transportation.
To fold down the E-Lite, use one hand to pull up on the FOLDING HANDLE, while using the other to gently pull down on the handlebars. BE CAREFUL NOT TO HIT YOUR
HEAD WITH THE HANDLEBAR.

NOTE: When folding your scooter attach the hook to secure the t-bar in the down position for easy and safe transportation.
You can now carry the E-Lite by the handlebar tube.

CHARGING SYSTEM

This unit comes standard with a regulated 24V charger.

Note that it is not advisable to leave your Power Board plugged in for more than 24 hours.
To re-charge your E-Lite simply repeat the steps in the getting started section. The control panel on the scooter has a multi-color LED that will let you know the status of your batteries while they are charging. Follow the chart which show what each color signifies.

VOLTS	RCENTC	COLOR
21V-23V	60%	GREEN
0V-21V	30%	AMBER
< -20V	10%	RED

Multi-Function LED
The E-LITE 250 comes equipped with a multi function LED which will let you know the status of your batteries while riding. When the scooter is turned on and the batteries are fully charged the LED light on the scooter will be green, indicating a full charge. Once the battery voltage drops between 21V to 23V the LED will have a green and red light on at the same time. Indicating you have about 60% of your battery power left. Once the voltage drops between 20V to 21V the LED will turn red, indicating you have 30% of your battery left. Once the Led light turns red it is time to recharge your scooter. If the voltage drops below 20V( indicating you have 10% of your battery left) the red LED light will blink twice. It is recommended that you do not try to ride your scooter as you could damage the batteries.

RECOMMENDED TOOLS

To adjust and service the Bladez E-Lite Power Board you will need the following tools:

Allen Keys: 3 / 4 / 5 / 6mm.
Wrenches: 10 / 13 / 16 mm Open and ring combination.
Philips Head Screwdriver
Hand bicycle pump
Oil, Grease or Lubricant (such as WD-40)

BRAKING SYSTEM

The E-Lite uses a rear wheel drum brake system activated by a hand lever (on the left side of the handlebar). The brake is activated by squeezing the BRAKE LEVER with your left hand. The E-Lite is equipped with a controller that temporarily disengages the power to the motor when the BRAKE LEVER is depressed.
Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking system.
Braking distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven riding surfaces.
The brakes are relatively maintenance free and come adjusted to the proper setting from the factory.

TIRES AND WHEELS

It is recommended that tires are inflated to 50 PSI. During shipping, the tires might be slightly deflated.

Remove the valve stem cover and expose the valve stem (Fig. 8).
Using a standard bicycle pump, inflate the tires to 50 PSI and replace the valve stem cover.

The Bladez E-Lite uses an identical rim and tires assembly on the front and rear wheels, which means that the tires can be rotated. The wheels are actually two wheel halves (split rim) bolted together to make it easier to remove and replace the tire. Empty all air from the tire, prior to loosing the bolts to split the rim.
Tire wear will differ based on rider weight, riding conditions and care. Replacement tires can be obtained at your local Bladez dealer, through motorcycle shops, or from the
Bladez website at www.ebladez.com. The Bladez E-Lite uses a standard Kenda 7.5″ (2.00 x 50) pneumatic tire.
Tire Pressure
The tire must be inflated to a maximum of 50 P.S.I.. It is also recommended to use a tube additive like Slime purchasable from any motorcycle shop, to avoid inconvenient punctures.

CHAIN CARE

Proper chain care will increase the life and improve performance of your Power Board. Always keep the chain lubricated and tightened to proper tension.

Lubrication
Always keep the chains lubricated with a good chain spray or grease (not chain wax). If the chain is allowed to run dry for a prolonged period of time it will fail, and the life of the chain is severely shortened.
Chain Adjustment
The chain on the E-Lite should be adjusted from time to time. The chain should be tight enough not to skip, but have a little bit of play. If you feel your chain skipping or make a popping noise, adjust the tension immediately.

For regular adjustments:

Using a 16mm wrench, loosen the axel bolts on each side of the rear wheel (Fig. 9).
While the axel bolts are loose, using a 10mm wrench loosen the tension bolts behind the rear wheel of the ELite and move the rear wheel backwards to remove the slack from the chain (fig. 10).
Once this is achieved the wheel nuts must then be relocked into position and wheel alignment must be checked (while turning the wheel, visually check that the clearance between the wheel and the frame parts have clearance).

*Note: Chains that are run excessively dry or loose can result in sprocket teeth being severely damaged.
