   B. Check all connections to the battery box. Make sure they are correct and secure.
   C. Check the brakes.
   D. Check the battery capacity.

2. Weight Limitation
   A. 100kg maximum

3. Incline Information
   A. The maximum safe slope of an incline is 9° for your scooter. If a slope is less than this angle, it’s safe for your scooter to climb or drive down.

4. Outdoor Driving Surfaces
   Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions-flat cement roads or asphalt roads. However, your scooter can be also driven on substantial soil routes. But you should avoid driving on the following roads:
