    When the ABS function is ON, the PA -electronic brake function is canceled.
    ABS brake is an abbreviation of the Anti-Lock Brake System. It uses the principle that maximum static friction force is larger than kinetic friction, so that braking distance (distance from breaking to stopping] is shorter than that of normal brake. It has the advantage that the vehicle does not slip well when wheel is rotating.and it is a brake assist system that can stop more safely without wheel lock and slip .
    Precautions when using the ABS function
    ABS has the advantage of being able to stop at the shortest braking distance that can be obtained from the tires and road conditions. However, due to the principle of repeatedly holding and releasing the brake several times in a second, a lot of vibration occurs in the motor and the body. Repetitive vibration caused by this may cause frequent loosening of the motor, rim, fixing part and body fixing bolt.

Safety guidelines before driving

Required checking before use

1. Check throttle and handle

   • Operate the accelerator throttle lever about 2 ~ 3 times to check whether it returns to the home position.
   • Be careful that excessive throttle leaning and manipulation of the throttle can cause malfunction due to internal parts damage.
   • Check the fastening condition and clearance of the QR lever on the handle.

2. Check brake and cable

   • The brake braking force is sufficient to check the operating condition. If the braking force is significantly lowered, use it immediately after inspection and action.
   • Check that the brake pad is not worn, that the cable is not loose, that the cable is not damaged, or that there is no leakage in the case of hydraulic brakes.
   • If there is an unusual feeling or noise during operation, check for breakage, wear and deformation of the inner wire of the brake cable.
   • Check that the bolts and nuts of the brake fixing parts are not loose, and that the disc is not deformed or damaged.

3. Check tire pressure and uniaxial condition

   • Check the front and rear tires for wear and punctures and check the proper air pressure [45 to 50 psi] for the tire. When the shortage of air is shortened, the possibility of
     puncture increases, so check always.

   • It is necessary to judge the replacement time by observing the appearance of the tire such as tire damage, uneven wear.

4. Tightening check such as folding part and handle part

   • Make sure that the bolts and nuts of all parts of the product are tight and free from loosening. Check the fastening condition and clearance of the folding and fixing parts of the handle [QR lever, fixed slide, hinge center bolt, headset nut, swing arm, etc.
   • • If there is a folding clearance
       If there is a folding clearance, it can be adjusted with a tongue bolt. However, if Danger you pull it too hard, it will become stiff without a gap, but it may sound ‘crackling’. In this case, if you adjust the tune bolt properly, the noise disappears and the clearance is also adjusted. In this case, stop driving immediately.
       If you encounter any of the following situations while driving, stop driving immediately and contact your nearest branch or service center for proper measures. If you provide pictures and videos to get accurate diagnosis, professional counseling is available

• Brake braking status error
• Error messages on the instrument cluster
• When the throttle is returned to its original position
• Unusual heating of the motor abnormal noise is generated Danger Product smoke, ignition, sour odor
• When rain or wet with water or in a similar situation
• When other driving is judged to be unreasonable

Maintenance

Maintenance and self-maintenance

Electric products can be damaged by various factors. The life span of each pa rt varies depending on driving habits and driving environment. Parts that exceed the service life may cause accidents. Let’s manage various parts and prevent safety accidents in advance.

1. Check the replacement timing of consumable parts
   The rubber inside the rubber suspension is cured as the consumable parts are used, and the performance of the suspension is slightly reduced because of the reduced elasticity.

2. The components and suspension parts of the electric scooter swing arm, tires, tubes, wheels, bearings,headset bearings, discs, brake pads, cables and folding parts, various brackets and otherconsumable parts requiring periodic inspection and always check. Fatigue failure parts and maintenance parts replacement cycle

3. External damage inspection by driving environment

4. Replace parts that may be damaged by external driving environment, such as deformation of parts, cracks due to compression, and signs of exceeding fine gold or life expectancy.

5. If the product is exposed to strong sunlight for a long time, discoloration may occur.

6. In case of heavy driving such as normal jumps, slight impacts such as turning, collision, etc.
   when driving frequently or for a long time in a poor road condition or driving for thousands of kilometers or more, fatigue breakdown phenomena Please check and replace the parts replacement schedule for each product for safety.

7. Fatigue breakdown and maintenance parts may differ from the example conditions depending on the driving environment and the operating conditions. Also check parts other than the replacement cycle (maintenance parts] at all times to check for any signs of abnormality.

Important notice

• Metal vibration may occur due to motor vibration, vibration of the brake disc and pad during the load section that accelerates during driving. [About 15 ~ 30Km, different for each product] This is a phenomenon in which all revolutions [fans, automobiles, ships, etc.] are vibrating at a specific rotational frequency [rpm] rather than the product. However, if the continuous noise or metal noise is large, there is a possibility that the disk is bent and deformed.
• Please note that after running, there is a risk of burns due to the heat on the motor and brake [especially disk rotor] side.
• Be careful that the bolts of the motor, rim and motor shaft due to the ABS function may be loosened.

Maintenance by self-maintenance

1. Brake adjustment method
   If the braking force decreases due to overheating of the oil.damage of the oil hose, loosening of the brake lever, oil leakage, etc. after using the brake for a long time on the downhill road, road, stop using and use after checking it.

2. Tire replacement method

3. After removing the nut cap.using a 18mm sleeve to take out both nuts[12mm] on the arm,the one without brake.

4. Disassemble the rear fender by using the wrenches[2.5mm and 4mm] to remove the screws.

5. Take out the wheel with tire from the motor by using the wrench 4mm to remove 6 screws.

6. Remove the wind from the tires and press the tires off the wheel.

7. Replace the tires and complete the assembly of the tires in reverse order. Tighten the assembled tire to fit the body, then tighten the screws and bolts.

After completing the tire replacement, try a simple test run with the appropriate air pressure [45 to 50 psi].
When puncture is occurred, it is possible to use repair by using patch seal. Please use the tire while checking and checking continuously.

Easy-wheel system

Completely separable hub motor design By designing the rim and hub motor to be completely separable it is possible to replace only the rim without replacing the entire motor when the rim damages, thus improving the maintenance of the product.

Causes and countermeasures of disc brake noise
The disc braking method uses a disc brake method with many electric kickboards because braking power is good However, if you get a sharp hissing sound when you hold the disc brake, dust or sand particles on the ground will spill out on the surface of the disc, causing foreign substances to be on the brake pads or disc surface, or bending due to heat or external impact At this time, clean the inner surface of the disc by turning the wheels with a clean, dry cloth, or straightening the bent discs.

CAUTION
If the above measures are not taken. please visit the nearest branch and take a safety check. There may be another problem.
