Folding
Turn your scooter off before folding. To fold or unfold the scooter pull back
on the quick release lever located near the folding mechanism. If you have
difficulty moving the quick release lever push the steering column forwards as
you pull the lever.
Once the scooter is in the desired position (folded or unfolded) press down on
the quick release lever marked as A.
Make sure that the locking pin marked as B locates securely into its socket.
DO NOT ride the scooter if the folding mechanism is damaged or if the locking pin is not properly secured in its socket

Before charging, turn off the scooter. First insert the charger into an
electrical outlet and then connect it to the scooter.
Charging from 0%-100% takes about 7 hours (about 5.5 hours with Joyride Eco).
We recommend recharging the scooter at regular room temperature.

How to Ride your Electric Scooter
-
Before riding make sure, that the steering system is correctly adjusted and that all connection elements (such as the folding mechanism) are correctly tightened and not damaged and that the brakes and wheels are in good condition.
-
Make sure to fully charge your new GPad® Joyride before your first ride.
-
Fold your scooter into its riding position following the instructions in chapter 4. After that, unfold the handlebars by lifting them up until they lock into place. To fold them back down again simply pull back the handlebar folding sleeve.
-
Turn the scooter on following the instructions in chapter 3.
-
Make sure that the kickstand is folded up into the riding position.
-
Grab the handlebar with both hands and with one foot placed on the platform, push off with the other to start moving.
-
Once moving, use your right thumb to press the throttle to accelerate.
-
To decelerate use your left hand to pull the brake lever towards yourself.
WARNING! When braking hard, you risk losing traction which can cause serious injury. Always look ahead for potential hazards and ride at moderate speed. Braking distances increase with wet weather. -
Use the handlebar to to turn by turning it slightly and shifting your body towards the direction you want to turn
-
To turn the scooter off again hold down the power button for about 3 seconds.
-
When parking the scooter use your foot to fold down the kickstand located at the rear of the scooter, then tilt the scooter towards the side with the kickstand.
When riding the scooter wear a helmet and other protective gear (knee, wrist
and elbow protection) to reduce the risk of injury.
Always ware shoes (high heels not recommended) when riding your scooter. Never
ride barefoot.
Maintenance
Regularly check the tightening of the various bolted elements, in particular
the wheel axles, the folding system, the steering system and the brakes.
Cleaning – To clean the scooter use a damp soft cloth. A brush can be used to
clean off dirt that is harder to remove. DO NOT use alcohol or other solvents
to clean the scooter. DO NOT clean the scooter with a pressure washer, hose or
with splashing water. The scooter is not waterproof. Any water damage voids
the warranty.
Tire Pressure – inflate both tires to 3 bar (40psi). Check for tire pressure
after receiving the scooter from the dealer, and regularly afterwards. If one
of the tires is damaged or won’t hold air then stop riding the scooter.
Tightening the folding mechanism – To tighten the folding system, first
release the screw A on figure 3, on both sides. Turn clockwise the screw B on
figure 3, located at the front end. Do this on both sides. Finally retighten
the screws A on figure 3.
Tightening the handlebar folding mechanism – To tighten the handlebar, open
the sleeves and fold the handlebar. Inside you find a 3mm hex screw (see
figure 4).
Using the hex key, gradually turn the screw counterclockwise. Check every
little while if the handlebar is tight enough. If the handlebar does not lock
into the driving position turn the hex screw to the opposite direction.
Storage – Turn the scooter off and disconnect the charger during storage. Make
sure that the battery is about 50-60% charged. You should check how much
charge the battery has left at least once a month. If the battery charge has
decreased, charge the scooter until the battery has about 50-60% charge. Store
the scooter in a dry room at about 15 to 25°C.
WARNING! As with any mechanical component, a vehicle is subject to high
stresses and wear. The various materials and components may react differently
to ware and fatigue. If the expected service life for a component has been
exceeded, it may break suddenly, therefore risking causing injuries to the
user.
Cracks, scratches and discoloration in the areas subject to high stresses
indicate that the component has exceeded its service life and should be
replaced.
