Notice

Be careful when handling to avoid unnecessarily damage the opening mechanism.
Step 2

Fasten the safety lock.
Make sure that the safety lock is fully secured.

Before each ride, make sure the safety lock is fully inserted in the folding mechanism, otherwise you risk personal injury and damage to the tipping mechanism itself.

Give your e-scooter a short time to adjust and set all moving parts such as hinges and brakes in the correct position.

Tipping/folding

Fold the e-scooter bar comfortably towards the rear wheel until you hear a click indicating the folding mechanism is locked.

Then you can carry the scooter comfortably.

Charger and battery
Charger
The charger contains protection against overcharging, which automatically stops charging when recharged at 100% capacity

Battery charging instructions:

Connect the charger to the AC adapter on the e-scooter (on the right side below the foot deck).
Insert the plug into the socket (AC 100–240 V).
Check that the power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet.
When connected to the network, the red indicator light lights up – the e-scooter is charging. When the light turns green, the e-scooter is already recharged and ready for use. The best time to use the e-scooter for maximum energy use is 2 hours after recharging. Fully charge for 8 hours to maximize battery performance.

Unplug the e-scooter from the socket before installing or performing maintenance.
It is not safe to handle the e-scooter when plugged into an electrical outlet. An electric shock can cause serious injury and damage the e-scooter.
Do not attempt to open the battery in any manner. Do not insert any object into the battery or attempt to open the battery cover or insert any tool into the battery compartment, as this may result in electric shock. Injuries, burns or fire can result from attempting to open the battery case. The toxic substances contained in the battery may be released.
Always use the original charger.

This product is equipped with a high quality LG lithium battery, which is rated for min. 800 individual charges.
Handling of battery

Do not start the engine during charging!
The light signaling is intended only for indicative information on the battery charge status.
Do not fold the e-scooter for longer than two months with a fully charged battery.
Fully discharge the batteries (red LED control) until the e-scooter stops completely and turns off from time to time.

Do not use e-scooter if you believe:

that the main panel is broken;
the battery emits an unusual odor or is overheating;
any liquids are leaking from it.

Avoid contact with the substance leaking from the battery. Keep the battery away from children and pets. Exposure to battery voltage can cause death or serious injury.

Using, storing or charging the e-scooter battery outside the specified conditions may void the warranty, damage the battery, or ineffectively charge the battery.

Riding the e-scooter

Preparation before riding

Find a suitable place.
Unfold the e-scooter according to the specifi ed instructions.
See Step 2 Folding the e-scooter.
The front light is not rigidly attached to the frame for safety during transport.
Screw the light to the frame and set it in the correct position.
Then tighten the fastening screw.
Ascertain that the handlebar is parallel to your body before starting the e-scooter.
Before using the e-scooter, visually check that all nuts and bolts are tight and in place. If a component is missing or shows signs of wear or tear or you are not sure about the technical condition, bring the e-scooter to an authorized service center for inspection.
Always check the brakes and mechanical functions before each ride.
Ascertain that the safety switch is inserted into the center of the folding mechanism and all locks are secure.

Riding on the e-scooter

Press the power button (ON/OFF) for more than 3 seconds to activate the e-scooter.
For a safer start, start with the help of another person.
First place one foot on the deck of the e-scooter, leaving the other foot securely on the ground. Slowly press the throttle.
When the e-scooter starts moving, place the other foot on the e-scooter, press the throttle, accelerate.
To activate the electric e-scooter drive from zero speed, it is necessary to push off several times from the ground to achieve a certain speed. You can then use the control levers on the handle to add gas and accelerate the e-scooter.
When braking, tilt your weight backwards so that the braking effect comes across the legs rather than the handlebars and steering.

TIP: To accelerate, ti

Stopping the e-scooter
Squeeze the brake slightly to reduce power to the engine and reduce the speed. Place one foot on the ground after braking. Never abruptly brake or stand on the brakes, it may lead to faster wear on the braking mechanism and consequently reduce comfort from riding.

Automatic shutdown
When the e-scooter is stopped (speed = 0) and you do not intervene with the display for more than 3 minutes, the system will automatically shut down and save energy.

E-scooter maintenance

The e-scooter is assembled by professional technicians. Any attempt to disassemble and repair the e-scooter or its parts separately may damage the electric e-scooter and void the manufacturer’s warranty upon delivery.

Lubrication
Every six months regularly maintain the folding system and lubricate the moving parts, especially the handlebar folding mechanism with a small amount of lubricating oil. Do not use WD40 and do not lubricate the wheels.

Brakes
The brakes are already directly set from production.

Troubleshooting

If the e-scooter is not working normally, check the following:
the e-scooter appears to start; the battery capacity on display; that the brake is released; whether all connectors and sockets are clean; whether an error message appears on the display. If the aforementioned operations are performed and the product is still unable to operate normally, consult your dealer.
