Key Components

CHARGING AND BATTERY SAFETY

Charging the Mantis 8

1. Turn your scooter off
2. Locate the charging port
3. Open the charging port cover
4. Connect the charger to the scooter. Watch out for proper orientation –the charging plug should slide in without effort.
5. Connect the charger to the wall power outlet

The LED on the charger will turn red while charging and turn green when the scooter is ready for use. Remove the charger and cover the plug. Charging time with the included 2A charger is ca. 7-9 hours for the Mantis Single Motor version, and 10-12 hours for the Mantis PRO version.

Battery Maintenance

• We recommend charging your scooter after every use. This is not required.
• A lithium-ion battery is a consumable device. Please replace with a new battery once capacity drops below 50% of what you experienced initially. Contact your place of purchase for a replacement.
• Make sure the battery is charged and that the scooter is turned off before storing your scooter for extended periods at a time.
• Store your scooter in a dry and cool place. Do not keep it outdoors or in outdoor sheds for extended periods of time as excessive cold, heat, sunlight, rain, or other environmental conditions may impact safe operation and reduce the scooter’s lifespan.
• Charge your battery at minimum every 3 months to prevent it from running completely empty. Once the battery runs completely empty due to slow discharge while in storage, it may have to be replaced.
• Batteries perform poorly at low temperatures. For instance, if the temperature is around 0°F (-18°C), battery capacity reduces by 50%. Capacity will restore to normal when temperatures rise.
• Battery life and riding ranges will vary depending on usage, climate, conditions, rider weight, and/or riding style, proper care and maintenance.

Battery Disposal

• Do not dispose of your battery by way of landfilling, incineration or household trash.
• We recommend disposing through a local recycling program suitable for lithium-ion batteries. Contact your local waste management service for more information.
• Mishandling of used batteries may do tremendous harm to the environment. You must abide by local laws and regulations to properly dispose of used batteries and assume all liabilities resulting therefrom.

Charging Warnings and Battery Safety Warnings

• Use caution when using outlets to prevent electric shock.
• Do not leave the charger plugged in for extended periods (>24 hours).
• Only charge your scooter in a safe, clean, and dry environment. Keep the charger and scooter away from inflammable materials as they may get hot.
• Only use the original battery packs and the original charger supplied with your electric scooter. Contact your place of purchase if you need a replacement. Use of other models or brands may not be safe and is not recommended.
• Do not touch any part of the USB charging prongs and keep them away from metal objects to prevent short circuit which may result in battery damage or physical injuries and death.
• Do not place the battery in direct contact with heat or near high temperatures. Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight. Do not leave the scooter in a car where the battery might get hot.
• Do not pierce the battery with sharp objects. Do not subject it to impact or force.
• Stop charging if the battery fails to recharge within the approximate charging time. This will prevent the battery from overheating, rupturing, or igniting.
• Do not charge the battery in temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or above 104°F (40°C) as this can hamper performance, result in breaking, overheating, rupturing, or igniting and could cause personal injury or property damage.
• Do not charge your scooter if the charging port on the scooter is damaged or wet. Do not charge if there is excessive heat, odor or leakage coming from the battery or it looks abnormal in any way.
• If the battery leaks and you accidentally get in touch with the liquid, rinse thoroughly with water and then seek medical care.
• Never attempt to disassemble, modify, or perform repairs or maintenance on the battery. You run the risk of damaging the protective and safety components that prevent incidents, personal injury or property damage. Professionals only!
• Mishandling or misuse of the battery can result in lower performance, shorter lifespan, rupturing, igniting, or other incidents and could increase the risk of serious personal injury.
• Do not discharge the battery using any other product than the scooter it comes with. Doing so could result in damage to the other product or the battery and reduced lifespan. The battery could overheat, rupture, or ignite and cause personal injury or property damage.

SET UP, UNFOLDING & FOLDING

Assembling the Mantis 8
Carefully open the box and take the scooter out with both hands. Do not pull the steering bar out by itself as it is attached to the rest via the cable work. Also, pay attention not to lose the metal plaque with the fluid logo which you will need to screw on to secure the steering bar to the scooter.

1. Place the scooter on the floor and secure it by pulling out the kickstand

2. Lift the handle post into a vertical position. Pay attention as the steering bar is not yet fixed to the handle post but only loosely connected via the cable work.

3. Slide the locking ring downwards. This prevents the handle post from moving out of its vertical position. Close the two quick release buckles around the locking ring and ensure the buckles are tight. You may need to adjust the dials opposite the quick release levers to ensure they sit tight when closed. Before every ride, make sure the buckles are locked tightly around the locking ring and only open with pressure.

4. Place the steering bar onto the handle post and screw the metal plaque (with fluid logo) onto it with the four screws provided. For the most comfortable riding position, we recommend you place the handlebar in the most upward position when tightening the screws.

Folding your Scooter

1. Loosen the quick release buckles and slide the locking cuff upwards. It may be necessary to loosen the quick release on the dials for the cuff to slide up.
2. Fold the stem downwards until it touches the scooter’s deck and attach it to the hook in the rear of the board. This will lock the handle post in folded position and enable you to carry your scooter with one hand while folded.

OPERATION

Driving Mode Selection and Lights
Located on the left side of the handlebar you can find a switch dashboard with the following functions:

• Headlight : Press to turn on front and rear LED lights as well  as the lateral LED strips.
• Turn Signals : Use to indicate turn intention to other traffic participants. Front and rear LED lights start blinking on one side. You will have to manually turn them off after your turn.

The DUAL switch toggles single or dual motor drive (dual motor version only, button has no function on the single motor version). There is no feedback light to know which mode has been selected. You will feel the acceleration of your scooter significantly stronger in dual motor mode. You can change the driving mode while riding. Take your finger off the accelerator for changes to come into effect.

CAUTION: Ride in a position where you can immediately access the brake to cancel Cruise Control if necessary.

Riding
Before using your scooter, make sure to visually inspect it for any signs of damage or loose parts or screws. Every scooter is individually tested before shipping from the factory, but we recognize that it has travelled far and in rare cases, it can get damaged during transport. If something does not feel or look right, reach out to your place of purchase.
Also pull the brake levers and ensure there is sufficient tension on the brakes BEFORE your first and any subsequent ride.

• Ensure you have sufficient runway ahead of you. Do not use the scooter indoors.
• Put both of your hands on the handlebar.
• Step with one foot on the scooter, kick it lightly with your other foot to bring it slightly in motion.
• Step with your second foot onto the board, hold on tight and pull the accelerator. Do prepare for strong acceleration and start slowly.

Braking
The Mantis has dual front and rear mechanical disc brakes. For braking, use the rear brake first for decelerating (the left braking lever on the handlebar) before engaging the front brake (the right lever) to come to a full stop.
When travelling at higher speeds, exercise caution when braking as the brakes are sensitive. This is especially true for the front brake as you risk falling over the handlebar if your center of gravity is too high while performing a hard stop with the front brake alone.
The Mantis is also outfitted with customizable electric / regenerative braking (see display settings to configure). When enabled, this function will use the electric motors to brake as soon as the controller registers that a brake lever is pulled. The display indicates a small exclamation mark as soon as the brakes are pulled.

CAUTION: Even on low settings, electric braking can be very abrupt at higher speeds. The function engages when just slightly pulling the lever. Prepare accordingly by leaning backwards when engaging the brakes.

BATTERY VOLTAGE AND CHARGING STATUS

We recommend you set your display up to show current battery voltage using the MODE button. The live reading of battery voltage will greatly improve your understanding of battery health and charging status vs. just looking at the battery bars or percentage, which are just a rough translation of battery voltage. You will see the voltage fluctuating down (when you accelerate) and up (when you idle) during your ride.
You will learn over time how to interpret your voltage display to make the right conclusions about the status of battery charge.
When your battery is fully charged using the accompanying 54.6V charger, the display will show 54.6V (+/- 0.5V due to inaccuracies in measurement). The controller will shut down at 38V.
If you Battery is around 43V your charge is almost gone. If you put lots of load on the motor (e.g. accelerating uphill), the voltage may move quickly towards the controller shut off point. We recommend that whenever battery is low, keep an eye on the display to see how Voltage fluctuates downwards when you draw a lot of power.
When you are approaching low charge, note the following:
The Mantis 8 PRO Dual Motor display will start blinking. If you hit the controller shut off point, your Mantis 8 PRO will turn off and you have to connect the charger to turn it back on.
The Mantis 8 Single Motor display will not blink, but you will feel a considerable reduction in power and responsiveness, as the controllers start limiting power output to prevent a shut down. You will eventually see the battery symbol blinking in the display and the E06 error code may come up indicating low voltage.
Whenever your voltage is low and you are still not at your destination, take it very easy on acceleration and speed to maximize the remaining charge.
The relationship of charge and voltage reading is NOT linear:

This curve shifts downwards the more power you are using. E.g. an aggressive driving style will reduce your voltage reading at the same battery charge status. Note that an aggressive driving style will also reduce range (the distance you can travel at a given charging status).
If you prefer it plain and simple, you can always go with the battery charge indicator to check your charge. Be aware that the first 30% of the displayed capacity will be consumed much slower than the last 30%.

SCOOTER MAINTENANCE & TRANSPORT

• Never perform maintenance on this product while the unit is powered on or charging. Always power off before performing maintenance. Unless otherwise provided or instructed, do not attempt to perform repairs or modify the scooter but contact your place of purchase or refer to a professional repair facility. You understand and agree that any repairs, modifications or maintenance which you perform or have performed are at your sole and exclusive risk.
• Clean stains on your scooter’s body with a damp cloth. Do not use alcohol, gasoline, kerosene or other corrosive and volatile chemicals. Do not wash with high pressure cleaners. Make sure the scooter is turned off and unplugged during cleaning and ensure no moisture enters the charging port.
• When transporting your scooter, please take into account that it contains lithium-ion batteries that are considered a hazardous material.
• Always exercise caution and follow applicable rules and regulations when transporting your scooter. It is very likely that you will not be allowed to take your scooter including battery on a plane.

Mechanical Disc Brake – Mantis 8 Single Motor 18.2Ah
Pull the brake lever and ensure there is sufficient tension on the disc brake before riding. Check frequently to ensure brakes are working properly.

In case there is lack of tension on the brake (the brake should fully engage when pulled about halfway to the handlebar), you can tighten it a little with the Barrel Adjuster.
In order to further adjust the distance between the brake pads, use the Adjustment Screw sitting on the side of the caliper.
If your disc brake is rubbing, you can center the Mounting Bolt caliper over the rotor.
First ensure that this is not caused by a bent rotor. Put your scooter up on a chair so the wheels are spinning freely. Put a light source behind the rotor so you can easily see if the rotor is bent or if it can be fixed by slightly aligning the brake pads. Also check the rotor for play and tighten the bolts if necessary.
The position of the caliper can be adjusted as follows:

1. Loosen the two upward facing Mounting Bolts until the caliper is able to move freely side to side.
2. Pull the brake lever to center the caliper over the rotor.
3. Re-tighten the two bolts without much force while the brake lever is held tightly,
4. Release the brake lever, spin the wheel to see if it did the job.
5. If it works well, move to step 7.
6. If the brake is still rubbing, loosen 1 bolt at a time (just a quarter to half a turn following step 4) and manually adjust the caliper with your hands so the brake does not rub anymore.
7. Tighten the screws all the way (6 Nm force) to finish the job.

Hydraulic Disc Brake – Mantis 8 PRO Dual Motor 24.5Ah
Pull the brake lever and ensure there is sufficient tension on the disc brake before riding. Check integrity of hydraulic systems frequently (no leakage of oil) to ensure brakes are working properly.
If there is insufficient tension when pulling the brake lever (the lever should fully engage when pulled about halfway to the handlebar), or brakes are losing tension over time, check for leaks. It is most likely that air bubbles in the hydraulic tube need to be removed. This can be easily done at home with a refill kit provided by your place of purchase.
If the disc brake is rubbing, you can center the caliper over the disc rotor by following the same steps as for the Mantis 17.5Ah model.

CAUTION: BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR FINGERS WHEN OPERATING NEXT TO THE MOVING ROTOR!
A local bike shop or your place of purchase will be able to help out further if needed.
