This operating manual explains the most important points that should be observed, helps you to maintain your MODSTER e-Scooter, and describes the correct operation of the vehicle for safe and long-term use. All information is based on the technical state at the time of the constitution of this operating manual. Changes and additions made in the meantime are not included in this version.

If you have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to contact us by writing an email to info@modster.at and we will take care of a quick and uncomplicated help.

WARNING

ATTENTION: Be aware that driving with electrical assistance needs getting used to. The acceleration and therefore the force forward are very intense. This unusual acceleration can lead to falls of inexperienced drivers. Begin carefully and make sure you have enough space. It is best to practice in a safe place without traffic.
ATTENTION: In addition to the normal braking performance due to friction, when the disc brake is activated, the MODSTER M550/MK083 brakes with an electric motor brake. This improves the braking performance massively and leads to a shorter braking dis-tance. Please be aware, however, that the engine brake is not supported when:

• The battery is empty and therefore you drive with pure muscle power.
• The battery is 100% charged and therefore no energy can be regenerated.

The additional braking power of the engine brake is enormous and shortens the braking distance immensely. Be aware of this, especially if the additional braking power is not present in the situations mentioned above.

ATTENTION: Always use the fender brake and let go of the accelerator pad to slow down and stop. Do not brake by using the sole of your foot!
ATTENTION: Read this chapter completely before using the scooter! Improper operation of the device may result in damage to the product or other property or serious injury.
ATTENTION: Failure to exercise caution when using this product and disregard the following warnings may result in a product malfunction, electrical problems, excessive heat, fire, and ultimately personal injury and property damage.

Important Notes & General Information Before Driving

General information

• The MODSTER M550/MK083 is designed for the transport of a single person up to the max. 100 kg and should be used for this purpose only. Failure to observe this warning is considered to be improper use and is at the user‘s own risk.
• All interventions to increase the performance or speed and generally to change the characteristics of the scooter are punishable and are prosecuted by law. They will void the warranty.
• The road traffic regulations must be observed at all times. You are obliged to inform yourself about applicable law in your country and to comply with it.
• The MODSTER M550/MK083 is not a toy! It is not designed for the weight of children. We recommend a minimum age of 16 years and a minimum weight of 25 kg.

Preparation for driving

• Choose a flat road for your first ride and make sure there are no obstacles in your environment.
• Check if the scooter has been fully extended and then correctly secured again.
• Make sure that the steering rods are screwed in properly and not loose.
• Check the effectiveness and correct function of your brake.
• Test the pedal screws and make sure that they are tightened.
• Check the battery charge and if it is sufficient for your trip.

Safety information

• Only drive on dry roads. Riding on wet floor coverings can be very dangerous and has to be avoided at all costs.
• Never drive with motor support on the sidewalk. This is not only dangerous for you and your fellow human beings, but also illegal in many countries.
• Due to safety reasons do not drive in the dark.
• Always wear protective equipment, in particular a suitable helmet, which reliably protects you against head injuries.
• Never brake by rubbing on the ground with your sole! Always brake with the rear brake (foot brake)!

The battery is only partially charged. Charge the battery completely before using the vehicle for the first time.
Please also note that depending on the country, different maximum speeds and restrictions regarding maximum power apply to electrically assisted vehicles. It is your own responsibility to be informed accordingly and to stick to this.
Please always observe the laws and regulations applicable in your country regarding road traffic and vehicle class. Keep in mind that legislation may vary by country and that MODSTER M550/MK083 has no road registration. Please also check out www.der.MODSTER.at.
Beware of steep slopes! The braking performance is not sufficient in steep, rapid journeys to ensure a safe ride.
Drive slowly on your first ride to get used to the new kind of driving. Keep in mind that a higher speed also results in a longer braking distance. If the vehicle is wet or after cleaning the vehicle, the brake system can react delayed due to the moisture. After cleaning the scooter, take care that the brakes are dried before using the vehicle again.
Each range information, as well as information on maximum speeds and incline ability, are heavily dependent on parameters such as the state of charge of the battery, condition of the ground, inclines or declines during the driving route, weight of the person driving, physical performance by diving, or if available, use of the pedals, weather conditions, headwind and depending on other factors. Our information relates to the optimal case.
For a long-term driving fun
Never use the MODSTER M550/MK083 on a wet road.
Do not jump with the scooter, as this will lead to excessive loads, which can result in damage to the scooter which is excluded from the warranty. Be sure to avoid slopping holes at any time and drive at right angles over curbs and other obstacles.
Warranty notes

• The MODSTER M550/MK083 may only be used on dry ground, any ride on wet surfaces will void the warranty.
• Do not perform any independent repairs. Always contact your service center. Any opening of the scooter will lead to the automatic lapse of the warranty. In individual cases, the manufacturer, in consultation with the customer, allows the opening of the footboard under certain conditions.
• The „tuning“ of the M550/MK083 is forbidden. It endangers your own safety as well as operational safety and reduces the lifespan of your vehicle. In addition, this will invalidate the warranty. You will find more information at the chapter Warranty.
