Notes
- Max speed values stated in the user manual depend on the road conditions and the load. Values stated on the rating label are related to average conditions.
- Mileage is tested under the following conditions: the scooter is driven with the second speed level, 41.8 V full power battery, a load of 165 lb (75 kg), temperature of 77 °F (25 °C), humidity of 70%, gentle breeze, tire pressure of 45 psi (310 kPa), and flat, dry road conditions.

- Connect the head wire and stem wire.
- Install the scooter head onto the stem and then fold the stem.
- Take off the folding spanner screw with the M2.5 Allen wrenches.

- Turn the stem safety latch inward to secure the folding spanner.
- Adjust the scooter head and align the screw holes.
- Secure the head by installing and tightening the M6x10 screws.

- Cover the screws with the mudguard plugs. Make sure to align the mudguard plugs’ opening with the raised part next to each screw and push in to secure the plugs (use the shorter plugs for the front screws and longer plugs for the side screws).
Stem Folding
- Turn the stem safety latch outward.
- Pull the folding spanner outward.
- Fold the stem and secure it onto the hook.
Battery Maintenance
- Only use the original battery pack. Misuse of other models or brands can cause safety issues.
- Only use the original power adapter to avoid potential damage, electric shock, or fire.
- Mishandling of used batteries can cause tremendous harm to the environment. To protect the natural environment, please follow local regulations to properly dispose of used batteries.
- Do not place the battery in an environment where the ambient temperature is higher than 113 °F (45 °C) or lower than -4 °F (-20 °C) (e.g., do not leave the scooter or the battery pack in a car under direct sunlight for an extended time).
- Do not leave the battery pack near a heat source, such as a stove, and do not throw the battery pack into fire. Doing so may result in overheating, explosion, or fire.
- After every use, fully charge the battery to prolong its lifespan.
- If the scooter is expected to be left unused for more than 30 days, please fully charge the battery and place it in a dry and cool place. Keep in mind to recharge the battery every 30 days to protect it from potential damage, which is beyond the coverage of our limited warranty. Always charge before exhausting the battery to prolong the battery’s lifespan.
- The battery pack performs better within the normal temperature range of 32 to 113 °F (0 to 45 °C), and performs worse when below 32 °F (0 °C). For instance, when the temperature is below -4 °F (-20 °C), the actual mileage will only be half or less than listed. When the temperature rises, the mileage will restore. Note: A fully charged TurboAnt Electric Scooter will last for 120-180 days.
- The built-in intelligent chip will keep a log of its charging and discharging records. The damage caused by prolonged periods without charging is irreversible and is beyond the coverage of our limited warranty. Once the damage is done, the battery cannot be recharged.
Riding the Scooter
- Wear protective gear such as a helmet.
- Press and hold on the power button for 1 second or longer to turn on the scooter.
- Place one foot on the middle of the deck and use the other foot to build up some momentum before accelerating.
- Gently press down the throttle to accelerate.
- Squeeze the brake lever to brake.
Battery Charging
Charging the Installed Battery
- Remove the charging port cover under the deck. Make sure the charging port is dry and free of dust.
- Connect the charging adapter.
- The battery is fully charged when the indicator light of the charging adapter turns from red to green.
- Close the charging port cover after charging the battery.
*The scooter cannot be turned on if it is connected to the charging cable, even if the cable is unpowered. When turning on the scooter, please completely remove the cable.
Maintenance
- Make sure the scooter is turned off and the power adapter is disconnected.
- Wipe clean the scooter with a damp cloth. Never use lubricating oil on the body and do not immerse it in water.
Storage
- Fully charge the scooter before storing, and charge it at least once a month to prevent premature decay of the battery capacity.
- Do not charge the battery if the temperature is below 32 (0 ).
- Keep the scooter in a dry, ventilated, and cool area away from direct sunlight, rain, and high humidity, and cover the scooter to protect it from dust.
- The kickstand is designed to provide structural support, so avoid standing on the scooter while the kickstand is down, as this can cause the kickstand to crack or break.
General Troubleshooting and Solution Guide
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the optimum tire pressure when riding this scooter?
The recommended tire pressure is between 40-45 psi (276-310 kPa). Please pump
up the tires to this pressure.
2. The headlight cannot be turned on. How can I solve this problem?
If the headlight won’t turn on, please verify that the scooter is turned on.
When the scooter is turned on, short press the power button to see whether the
headlight functions. Also, check to ensure that the lamp holder is not clogged
with dust. If the lamp holder is not clogged with dust, and the lights still
do not turn on, it may need to be replaced. Please contact our customer
support center for help.
3. What should I do if the scooter’s stem is swaying while riding the
scooter?
Immediately stop riding the scooter. Verify that the screws that connect to
the folding spanner and other screws on the stem are well tightened. If not,
tighten the screws using the hexagonal wrench. Periodically tightening the
screws on the scooter may be necessary.
4. What should I do if the brakes are not functioning properly?
a. Turn on the scooter. Don’t stand on the deck. Tilt the scooter to lift the front wheel and manually rotate the wheel. Then, press down the throttle to accelerate, and the front wheel should start to rotate. Next, hold the brake lever. If the front wheel stops rotating, the EBS (Electronic Braking System) is functioning properly. If the front wheel does not stop rotating, the Electronic Braking System may be faulty. Please contact our customer support center for help.
b. Turn off the scooter, tilt the scooter, and manually rotate the rear wheel. Then, hold the brake lever. If the rear wheel stops rotating and there is no grinding noise, the disc brake is functioning properly. If there is a grinding noise on the brake, the disc brake may be faulty. Please contact our customer support center for help.
5. Can I replace the tires on my own?
While this is in theory possible, we highly suggest that you contact us at
support@turboant.com for assistance before doing this or go to a professional
bike store to have them replace the tires for you. Replacing the tires
improperly or without suitable tools may result in injuries to you and/or in
damage to the e-scooter, which will nullify the warranty.
6. Why does the battery life decrease over time?
The lithium-ion battery capacity will naturally degrade after 500
charge/discharge cycles. The battery performs better when within the normal
temperature range of 32 to 95 (0 to 35 ) and performs worse when below 32 (0
). For instance, when the temperature is below -4 (-20 ), the actual mileage
will only be half or less than listed.
7. When I press down the throttle, why doesn’t the motor function
properly?
It could be that there is a Hall wire malfunction with the Electronic Braking
System. Please check to see if the wire terminals of the brake lever and the
panel are loose, and whether the brake lever has been damaged.
8. What are the affecting factors of the maximum range?
The max listed mileage is 15.5 miles, which is measured under the following
conditions: the scooter is ridden with the second speed level, 41.8 V full
power battery, a load of 165 lb (75 kg), temperature of 77 (25 ), humidity of
70%, gentle wind, tire pressure of 45 psi (310 kPa), and flat, dry road
conditions. Actual mileage may depend on a variety of factors including
battery status, tire pressure, load, temperature, wind speed, road conditions,
riding habits, and more. Please note that the tire is a type of tubed
pneumatic tire, so fully inflating the tires can help extend your mileage.
