Safety Reminder

• This electric scooter is a leisure device. But once they’re in a public area, they’ll be seen as vehicles, subjecting to any risks faced by vehicles. For your safety, please follow instructions in the manual and traffic laws and regulations set forth by government and regulatory agencies

• At the same time, you should understand that risks cannot be entirely avoided as others may violate traffic regulations and drive incautiously, and you’re exposed to road accidents just as when you’re walking or biking. The faster the scooter is, the longer it takes to stop. On a smooth surface, the scooter may slip, lose balance, and even result in a fall. Thus it is crucial that you use caution,
  keep proper speed and distance, especially so when you’re unfamiliar with the place.

• Respect pedestrians’ Right of Way. Try not to startle them while driving, especially children. When you ride from behind pedestrians, ring your bell to give them a heads-up and slow your scooter to pass from their left (applicable to countries where vehicles drive on the right). When you ride across pedestrians, keep to the right at a low speed. When you drive across pedestrains, keep the
  lowest speed or getting off the vehicle

• Closely follow the safety instructions in the manual especially in the countries that lack relevant laws and regulations regarding electric scooters. Hiboy shall not be liable for any financial losses, physical injuries, accidents, legal disputes and other interest conflicts resulted from actions that violate user instructions.

• Do not lend your scooter to whoever doesn’t know the operations. And when you do lend it to your˛friends, please take the responsibility
  to ensure he/she knows the operation and wears the safety gear.

• Check the scooter before every use. When you note loosen parts, low battery alerts, excessive wear, strange sounds, malfunctions and other abnormal conditions, stop riding immediately and call for professional support.

• Devices are not intended for use at elevations greater than 2000 m above sea level Prolonged Exposure to UV Rays, Rain and the Elements May Damage the Enclosure Materials, Store Indoors When Not in Use

• WARNING – Risk of Fire – No User Serviceable Parts.

 Folding and Carrying

• Make sure that the scooter’s turned off. To fold, unlock the folding mechanism, and bend the handlebar stem to hook the clamp on the rear fender. To open, unhook from the clamp, erect the handlebar and lock the folding structure.
• Hold the handlebar stem with either one hand or both hands to carry.

• If the brake is too tight, use the allen wrench to loosen the screws on the caliper, and slightly send back the brake cable to shorten the exposed length, then tighten the screws. If the brake is too loose, loosen the screws, and slightly pull out the brake cable to lengthen the exposed length, then tighten the screws.
• If the handlebar and its stem sway during riding, please tighten the screws on the folding mechanism.

• We have pre-adjusted the rear suspension to make it be workable for 165 lbs+ users, if you feel the suspension is too loosen or tight, then please use No. 14 wrench to adjust the two nuts on the suspension and make it more tight or loosen until you feel the suspension is working well for your weight.

Daily Care and Maintenance

Cleaning and storage

• If you see stains on the scooter’s body, wipe them off with a damp cloth. If the stains won’t scrub off, put on some toothpaste, and brush them with a toothbrush, then wipe them off with a damp cloth. If you see scratches on plastic parts, use sandpaper or other abrasive materials to polish them.
• Notes : do not clean the scooter with alcohol, gasoline, kerosene or other corrosive and volatile chemical solvents to prevent dire damage. Do not wash the scooter with a high-pressure water spray.
• During cleaning, make sure that the scooter’s turned off, the charging cable is unplugged, and the rubber flap is closed as water leakage may result in electric shock or other major problems.
• When the scooter’s not in use, keep it indoors where it is dry and cool. Do not put it outdoors for long time. Excessive sunlight, overheating and overcooling accelerate tire aging and compromise the scooter and the battery pack’s lifespan.

WARNING!
Battery maintenance

1. Use original battery packs, use of other models or brands may bring about safety issues;
2. Do not touch the contacts. Do not dismantle or puncture the casing. Keep the contacts away from metal objects to  prevent short circuit which may result in battery damage or even injuries and deaths;
3. Use original power adapter to avoid potential damage or fire;
4. Mishandling of used batteries may do tremendous harm to the environment. To protect natural environment, please  follow local regulations to properly dispose used batteries;
5. After every use, fully charge the battery to prolong its lifespan.
   Do not place the battery in an environment where the ambient temperature is higher than 104°F or lower than 14°F (e.g., do not leave the scooter or the battery pack in a car under direct sunlight for an extended time). Do not throw the battery pack into fire as it may lead to battery failure, battery overheating, and even another fire. If the scooter is expected to be left idle for more than 30 days, please fully charge the battery and place it in a dry and cool place. Keep in mind to recharge it every 60 days to protect the battery from potential damage which is beyond limited warranty.
   Always charge before exhausting the battery to prolong the battery’s lifespan. The battery pack performs better at normal temperature, and poor when it is below 32°F. For instance, when it is below -4°F, the riding range is only half or less at normal state. When the temperature rises, the riding range restores.
   The damage caused by prolonged no charge is irreversible and is beyond limited warranty. Once the damage is done, the battery can not be recharged.

Troubleshooting

display-controller connection cable
E4| Over current protection, when E4 appears, both electronic brake and throttle will stop working| Normally the E4 will disappear automatically after cool down the scooter for a while, if the E4 continues to show up frequently, then need to replace the controller
E5| Low voltage protection, when the battery voltage is lower than 30V, it will show up E5| First charge the scooter and see if E5 disappears, if E5 doesn’t disappear after charging, then need to replace the battery
E6| Over voltage protection, when the battery voltage is higher than 46V, it will show up E6| When E6 shows up, please do not brake suddenly or climb / go down slopes, just consume some power of the battery, then it will be back to the normal
E7| Motor hall error| Need to check if the motor hall cables are connecting well first, if any cable is not connecting well, re-connect it and see if the E7 error disappears;

After re-connecting the haul cables and E7 still exists, then need to replace the motor.

E8| Motor phase error| Need to replace the motor.
E9|

Hardware error

| Restart the scooter for several times and see if the E9 disappears, otherwise need to replace the controller
