not being pressed. Do not ride the electric scooter if the brakes are not working properly. Tools required: 10 mm wrench

1. To adjust the brake cable, turn the adjuster barrel on the brake lever clockwise (to loosen) or counterclockwise (to tighten). Rotate the cylinder only a little at a time, until the desired adjustment is reached. If the brake still needs further adjustment, proceed to the next step.

2. If the brake cable is still too tight or too loose, use a 10 mm wrench to loosen the brake cable clamp bolt to carry out further adjustments on the cable. Ensure that the 10 mm nut
   is securely tightened after the adjustment has been made.

IMPORTANT

Before using this product under any circumstances, check that the brake is working properly

8. Autonomy

The maximum autonomy depends on several variables:
Terrain: riding on a smooth surface promotes a longer autonomy than riding on rough roads and slopes.
User weight: the heavier the user, the shorter the autonomy.
Temperature: riding the scooter in a very cold or hot environment affects the autonomy.
Speed and riding style: riding smoothly and at constant speed extends the autonomy. Acceleration and manoeuvring drastically reduce
the autonomy. A lower speed extends the autonomy. Maintenance: timely recharging and correct maintenance increase the autonomy.

9. Storage and cleaning

Charge the scooter to 80% – 90% before storing it for extended periods of time. Recharge it to 80% – 90% every 2-3 months. If not used daily, the electric scooter should be stored at a temperature of
15-25 *C. Do not expose the electric scooter to extreme temperatures (below 0 °C or above 45 °C). Avoid leaving it outdoors, as it is not water-resistant.
When the electric scooter gets dirty, clean it with a damp cloth. Before cleaning it, make sure that it is turned off and cover the charging port to prevent damage to the electronic components. Do not use alcohol, petrol, kerosene or other corrosive and volatile chemical solvents. This may damage both the appearance and the internal structure of the electric scooter. Do not use pressurized water jets or running water to clean the scooter. The electric scooter is not waterproof. Do not expose it to rain or water or immerse it in water to wash it.

Make sure the electric scooter, charger, and charging port are dry.
When the electric scooter is fully charged, the LED light on the charger changes from red (charging) to green (charging completed).
Use only the original charger. Other chargers may damage your device and expose users to other potential risks.
The electric scooter should not be charged for extended periods. Overcharging reduces battery life and may cause other damages.
Charge the electric scooter in a dry environment away from flammable materials (e.g. materials that may burst into flames), preferably at an internal temperature of 15-25 °C, but never lower than 0 °C or higher than + 45°C. Do not charge in direct sunlight or near a fire.
Do not charge the electric scooter immediately after use. Let the electric scooter cool down for one hour before recharging.
Never leave the electric scooter unattended while charging. Fire hazard! Never touch the charging socket with metal objects.
Read the charging and storage sections above to ensure that the battery is maintained and handled properly. Keep the electric scooter away from open flames or other heat sources to prevent the battery
from overheating. Do not leave the electric scooter exposed to freezing temperatures. Both excessive heat and cold temperatures may cause the battery to lose their charge. Avoid completely discharging the battery.
It is best to recharge the battery while there is still some charge left. This prolongs the life of the battery.
When the charge is too low, it is not possible to ride normally. This may lead to the rider losing control or falling off.
Make sure the battery is charged at regular intervals, even if you do not use the electric scooter for an extended period of time. This prevents damage to the battery caused by low voltage over an extended period.

14. Daily maintenance and care

Cleaning and storage

• If there are stains on the body of the electric scooter, wipe them off with a damp cloth. If stains persist, apply some toothpaste, brush with a toothbrush, then wipe with a damp cloth. Note: do not clean the electric scooter with alcohol, petrol, kerosene or other corrosive and volatile chemical solvents, to avoid serious damage. Do not wash the electric scooter with high-pressure water jets. When cleaning the electric scooter, make sure that it is turned off, that the charging cable is disconnected, and the rubber cap is closed, as a water leak may cause an electric shock or other serious problems. When the electric
  scooter is not in use, store it indoors in a cool, dry place. Do not store it outdoors for extended periods of time. Excessive sunlight, overheating, and excessive cold accelerate tyre ageing and jeopardize the life of
  both the electric scooter and the battery.

• Check the brakes and make sure they are adjusted correctly.

1. Only use original batteries, as other models or brands may pose a safety risk.
2. Do not dismantle, crush, or puncture the product. Do not touch the battery contacts. Do not dismantle or puncture the outer casing. Avoid bringing the scooter into contact with water or fire and do not expose it to temperatures exceeding 50 °C (including heat sources such as stoves, heaters, etc.). Avoid contact between metal objects and battery terminals to prevent short circuits, physical harm or death.
3. Water seeping into the battery may cause damage to internal circuits and risk of fire or explosion. Should you suspect that water may have entered the battery, stop using the battery immediately and return it to your dealer’s after-sales service for checking.
4. Use only the original charger to avoid potential damage or fire.
5. Improper disposal of used batteries seriously pollutes the environment. Follow local regulations regarding battery disposal. Follow battery disposal regulations to protect the environment.
6. After each use, fully recharge the battery to extend its useful life. Do not store the battery in an environment where the temperature is above 50 °C or below -20 °C (for example, do not leave the electric scooter or battery in a car in direct sunlight for an extended period of time). Do not throw the battery into fire as this could lead to failure, overheating and even a fire. If you do not intend to use the scooter for more than 30 days, recharge the battery to 50/60% and store it in a cool, dry place. Remember to recharge it every 60 days to protect it from any damage, which would void the limited warranty. Always recharge the battery before it is flat out to extend its useful life.

Note: once fully charged it will last 120-180 days.
Damage caused by the battery being left uncharged for a long period is irreversible and is not covered by the limited warranty. Once the damage has occurred, the battery cannot be recharged (the battery must
not be dismantled by unqualified personnel, as this could lead to electric shocks, short circuits or even major safety incidents).
