Folding down and locking the neck
Slowly fold down the neck until the underside of the display locks into place
at the latch on the back of the foot board at the base of the back fender. It
will snap into place after it’s locked in and secured properly.

Cleaning and storage
– Use a soft, wet cloth to wipe the mainframe clean. Hard to remove dirt can
be scrubbed with a toothbrush, then cleaned with a soft wet cloth.
– Do not wash your Bird Flex with alcohol, gasoline, acetone, or other
corrosive solvents. These substances may damage the appearance and internal
structure of your Bird Flex. Do not wash your Bird Flex with a power washer or
hose.
– Warning: Make sure your Bird Flex is powered OFF and the charging cable is
unplugged before cleaning; otherwise you may damage the electronic components.

Battery pack maintenance
– Do not store or charge the battery at temperatures outside of the stated
limits (see specifications). Do not puncture the battery. Refer to your local
laws and regulations regarding battery recycling and/or disposal.
– A well maintained battery can perform well even after many miles of riding.
Charge the battery after each ride to avoid draining the battery completely.
When used at room temperature (22 °C [70 °F]) the battery range and
performance is best.
– Warning: Do not attempt to disassemble the battery. Risk of fire. No user
serviceable parts.
– Warning: Do not ride when the ambient temperature is outside of the

limit the maximum power/torque. Doing so could cause personal injury or
property damage due to slips or falls.
