Segway ES4 Ninebot Electric Kick Scooter User Manual

Thanks for choosing the Ninebot KickScooter ES series!

Thanks for choosing the Ninebot KickScooter (hereinafter referred to as KickScooter)!
Your KickScooter is a fashionable transportation device with mobile app, allowing you to connect with other riders. Enjoy your ride and connect with riders world wide!

WARNING!
Always use both electric brake and foot brake for emergency stopping. Otherwise you risk falls and/or collisions from not achieving the max. braking capability.

Riding Safety

1. The KickScooter is a recreational transporter. Before mastering riding skills, you need to practice. Neither Ninebot Inc. (means Ninebot (Beijing) Tech Co., Ltd.and its subsidiaries and affiliates) nor Segway Inc. is responsible for any injuries or damage caused by a rider’s inexperience or failure to follow the instructions in this document.
2. Please understand that you can reduce the risk by following all the instructions and warnings in this manual, but you cannot eliminate all the risks. Remember that whenever you ride the KickScooter you risk injury from loss of control, collisions, and falls. When entering into public spaces always comply with the local laws and regulations. As with other vehicles, faster speeds require longer braking distance. Sudden braking on low traction surfaces could lead to wheel slip, or falls. Be cautious and always keep a safe distance between you and other people or vehicles when riding. Be alert and slow down when entering unfamiliar areas.
3. Always wear a helmet when riding. Use an approved bicycle or skateboard helmet that fits properly with the chin strap in place, and provides protection for the back of your head.
4. Do not attempt your first ride in any area where you might encounter children, pedestrians, pets, vehicles, bicycles, or other obstacles and potential hazards.
5. Respect pedestrians by always yielding the right of way. Pass on the left whenever possible. When approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the right and slow down. Avoid startling pedestrians. When approaching from behind, announce yourself and slow down to walking speed when passing. Please obey local traffic laws and regulations if situation is different.
6. In places without laws comply with the safety guidelines outlined in this manual. Neither Ninebot Inc. nor Segway Inc. is responsible for any property damage, personal injury/death, accidents, or legal disputes caused by violations of the safety instructions.
7. Do not allow anyone to ride your KickScooter on his/her own unless they have carefully read this manual and followed the New Rider Tutorial in the App. The safety of new riders is your responsibility. Assist new riders until they are comfortable with the basic operation of the KickScooter. Make sure each new rider wears a helmet and other protective gear.
8. Before each ride check for loose fasteners and damaged components. If the KickScooter makes abnormal sounds or signals an alarm, immediately stop riding. Diagnose your KickScooter via the Ninebot by Segway App and call your dealer/distributor for service.
9. Be alert! Scan both far ahead and in front of your KickScooter — your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding obstacles and low traction surfaces (including, but not limited to, wet ground, loose sand, loose gravel, and ice).
10. To reduce risk of injury, you must read and follow all “CAUTION” and “WARNING” notices in this document. Do not ride at an unsafe speed. Under no circumstance should you ride on roads with motor vehicles. The manufacturer recommends riders be 14+ years old. Always follow these safety instructions:
    • A. People who should not ride the KickScooter include:
    1. Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
    2. Anyone who suffers from disease that puts them at risk if they engage in strenuous physical activity.
    3. Anyone who has problems with balance or with motor skills that would interfere with their ability to maintain balance.
    4. Anyone whose weight is outside the stated limits (see Specifications).
    5. Pregnant women.
    • B. Riders under the age of 18 years old should ride under adult supervision.
    • C. Comply with local laws and regulations when riding this product. Do not ride where prohibited by local laws.
    • D. To ride safely, you must be able to clearly see what is in front of you and you must be clearly visible to others.
    • E. Do not ride in the snow, in the rain, or on roads which are wet, muddy, icy, or that are slippery for any reason. Do not ride over obstacles (sand, loose gravel, or sticks). Doing so could result in a loss of balance or traction and could cause a fall.
11. Do not attempt to charge your KickScooter if it, the charger, or the power outlet is wet.
12. As with any electronic device, use a surge protector when charging to help protect your KickScooter from damage due to power surges and voltage spikes. Only use the Segway supplied charger. Do not use a charger from any other different product models.
13. Use only Ninebot or Segway approved parts and accessories. Do not modify your KickScooter. Modifications to your KickScooter could interfere with the operation of the KickScooter, could result in serious injury and/or damage, and could void the Limited Warranty.

Maintenance

Cleaning and Storage
Use a soft, wet cloth to wipe the mainframe clean. Hard to remove dirt can be scrubbed with a toothbrush and toothpaste, then cleaned
with a soft, wet cloth. Scratches on plastic parts can be polished with fine grit abrasive paper.

NOTE
Do not wash your KickScooter with alcohol, gasoline, acetone, or other corrosive/volatile solvents. These substances may damage the
appearance and internal structure of your KickScooter. Do not wash your KickScooter with a power washer or hose.

WARNING
Make sure the KickScooter is powered OFF, the charging cable is unplugged, and the rubber cap on the charge port is tightly sealed before
cleaning; otherwise you may damage the electronic components.
Store your KickScooter in a cool, dry place. Do not store it outdoors for extended periods of time. Exposure to sunlight and temperature
extremes (both hot and cold) will accelerate the aging process of the plastic components and may reduce battery life.

Battery Pack Maintenance
Do not store or charge the battery at temperatures outside 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 and avoid draining the
battery completely. When used at room temperature (70°F [22°C]) the battery range and performance is at its best; whereas using it at
temperatures below 32°F (0°C) can decrease range and performance. Typically, at -4°F (-20°C) range can be half that of the same battery
at 70°F (22°C). Battery range will recover when temperature rises. More details are available in the App.

NOTE
Typically, a fully charged battery should retain charge for 120-180 days in Standby Mode. A low-power battery should retain charge for
30-60 days in Standby Mode. Remember to charge the battery after each use. Completely draining the battery may cause permanent
damage to the battery. Electronics inside the battery record the charge- discharge condition of the battery; damage caused by
over-discharge or under-discharge will not be covered by the Limited Warranty.

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 the machine operation temperature (see Specifications) because low/high
temperature will limit the maximum power/torque. Doing so could cause personal injury or property damage due to slips or falls.

European Union Compliance Statement
Battery recycling information for the European Union

Batteries or packaging for batteries are labeled in accordance with European Directive 2006/66/EC concerning batteries and
accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators. The Directive determines the framework for the return and recycling of used
batteries and accumulators as applicable throughout the European Union. This label is applied to various batteries to indicate that the
battery is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.

In accordance with the European Directive 2006/66/EC, batteries and accumulators are labeled to indicate that they are to be collected
separately and recycled at end of life. The label on the battery may also include a chemical symbol for the metal concerned in the battery
(Pb for lead, Hg for mercury, and Cd for cadmium). Users of batteries and accumulators must not dispose of batteries and accumulators
as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to customers for the return, recycling, and treatment of batteries
and accumulators. Customer participation is important to minimize any potential effects of batteries and accumulators on the
environment and human health due to the potential presence of hazardous substances.
