Intended Use

The Electric scooter is neither a means of transport nor sports equipment, but a device for personal entertainment. The Electric scooter for domestic use only and only by a person aged at least 14 with a maximum weight of 120 kg. The other parameters for the permissible operation of the Electric scooter are defined in the section (“10. List of parameters”) . Importantly, the Electric scooter may only be operated in good visibility conditions and only if the physical conditions for stability on the Electric scooter are met (for example, not on one leg/not under the influence of drugs or alcohol). When operating the electric scooter, the operator must wear personal protective equipment specified in the section (“13. Warnings” > 13.2 Preparation”).

Safety Instruction

We recommend always wearing helmet and protective gear like elbow, knee and wrist protectors to ensure your personal safety.

DENVER Electric Scooter - Safety Instruction

Also make sure you have read the user manual carefully, to ensure you know how to ride it in a safe and fun way.
The Electric scooter isfor domestic use only.
It is your responsibility to be aware of and comply with all regulations. If there are no regulations for this Electric scooter in your country, please take care of your own safety and the safety of others.

Also pay attention to other people. Always ride safely and only at a speed that allows you to brake safely at any time. A common thing for such products is that there is a risk that you may fall off the product and injure yourself. Always ride as safely as possible.

If lending the electric scooter to friends and family, please make sure they use proper protective gear and know how to ride it.
Before riding the electric scooter, please check that all parts are working as supposed to. If any loose parts, abnormal noise, reduced battery life etc. are detected, please contact your retailer for product service and warranty. Do not repair the electric scooter yourself.
Inspect the rear tire, rear brake, and brake pad according to Section 7 of the maintenance specification in this operating instructions. The electric scooter may become unstable if the rear brake is deformed or loose. This is because the distance between the brake pad and the rear wheel becomes too small, possibly leading to a blocked rear wheel.

Avoid applying too much force or stepping on the rear fender permanently. This may cause the fender to loosen or damage the spring holding the fender.

As a result, the brake pad constantly touches the wheel and the motor temperature increases due to the additional resistance. The rear tire can also get loose if the brake is in constant braking position.

Avoid constant braking. As a result, the tires will not only wear off, but also become hot. This will soften the rubber and it will no longer have the same grip on the road as usual. Do not touch the tire after braking.
If you hear unusual noises or notice friction when switching on the electric scooter, a bearing may be damaged. A worn bearing may even be indicated by strong vibration of the handlebar. In this case, please contact your retailer since the bearing needs to be replaced and/or the handlebar checked and adjusted.
Ride the electric scooter only on a dry surface since otherwise the riding safety and braking performance may be impaired and the motor or bearings may be damaged.

Please do not ride up or down long and steep slopes. Stop riding when you receive the “Low Battery Warning”. The electric scooter then moves only slowly and does not have the same traction as normal and the electric brake does not work. In this case, please use the rear brake to stop the electric scooter. Get off the Electric scooter as soon as the speed allows to do that safely.

Do not use the electric brake and the throttle at the same time.
A normally working Electric scooter operates safely and quietly. If you hear noises or notice bumpy operation, please check wheels, bearings, and brakes. Contact your customer service for repair and maintenance, if necessary.

Maintenance

To ensure you get the best possible performance and experience from your electric scooter, it is important to do regular maintenance for important parts of the product.

Battery maintenanc
Bearings, Screws, Brakes and Wheels
Storage and Cleaning

Your electric scooter will require some maintenance so please read and familiarize yourself with this guide.

Battery maintenance

All batteries have a life cycle, and performance will decrease over time, however here are some advice to maximize the life span of the battery.
Make sure that the battery is charged at regular intervals, even if you do not use the electric scooter for a long time. This is to prevent damage to the battery, caused by low voltage over an extended period.
Avoid draining the battery completely. It is best to charge while there is still power on it. This will extend battery life. If the battery is constantly depleted, it will damage the battery (damaged battery caused by wrong handling are not covered by the warranty).
If riding the electric scooter in cold or very hot areas, the battery time can be lower than when riding in temperatures from 15-25° Celsius. This is not a failure on the batteries, but normal behavior.

Please notice: Even a fully charged battery will run out of power if the electric scooter is not used for a period. Expect a fully charged battery to keep power between 90 and 120 days in off mode, before it is fully discharged. If only partially charged, this period is lower.

Please make sure the battery does not get above 50° Celsius, or below minus 10° Celsius for a longer period. (e.g. don’t leave the electric scooter in a hot car in summer, do not put battery into fire etc.) Low temperature (e.g. subzero temperature) can damage the battery cells.

Keep the Electric scooter away from open flame or other sources of heat to prevent the battery from getting too hot. Also make sure not to leave the electric scooter at freezing temperatures. Both heat and excessive cold can cause the battery to discharge

Only use original charger or an official replacement, as different batteries may require specific charger, and if using other chargers, this could cause damage to the product.

Do not overcharge and discharge the battery.
Please make sure to charge the battery before it is completely out of power, to avoid damaging the battery cells. (damaged battery caused by wrong handling are not covered by the warranty)

It is forbidden to disassemble battery package. This is only to be handled by official service repair centers and professionals.

Bearings, Screws, brakes and Wheels

Your electric scooter is made up of moving parts, which in time, will be susceptible to wear and tear

Bearings and screws:

The electric scooter has sealed and dustproof bearings so that no lubrication is required. Check the bearings for wear at regular intervals to avoid unsafe riding. Do not jump on and off and do not apply excessive force otherwise to avoid damage to the bearings. This is not a sports electric scooter.
Make sure that all screws are properly tightened to avoid unsafe situations.
Please check the screws regularly and tighten if they seem loose.

Brakes:
Check the brake for wear at regular intervals to avoid unsafe riding. Do not apply excessive force to avoid damage to the brake.
Electric scooter with disc brake will require adjustment over time and in the end will need to be replaced, when worm down. Avoid using electric scooter when brakes are worn down, as this is unsafe and will also damage the brake.

Wheels:

Check the wheels for wear at regular intervals to avoid unsafe riding.

Electric scooters come with different wheels but can in general be separated into tires with inflatable inner tubes and solid wheels.
For inflatable tires, please make sure to keep the right pressure, as hard tires will last longer.
If the wheel seems wobbly even after screws are tightened, the bearings might be worn down and need replacement

Please make sure to check that the steering system is correctly adjusted and that all connection components are firmly secured and not broken before riding, refer to handle assembly and safety instruction.
Please read operation guide and warnings of correct techniques for use and braking
Always wear shoes.
We highly recommend to always wear helmet/pads for your own protection.
Self-locking nuts and other self- locking fixings may lose their effectiveness.
All parts and materials of electric scooter cannot be changed, modifications of the scooter are not allowed. If done, then warranty is void.

If your Electric scooter gets dirty, please clean it with a damp cloth only, you may not use pressured water‐gun or running water, as this could damage vital parts. It is also possible to use a little toothpaste if the dirt is stuck. Remember to clean with damp cloth after this.

Please make sure to keep the electric scooter turned off while cleaning it, and make sure to cover the charging input to avoid problems with the electronics.

Make sure to dry the scooter with a towel, should it become wet.

Please notice: Do not use alcohol, gas, kerosene or other corrosive and volatile chemical solvents. This can damage both the appearance and the internal structure of the electric scooter.

Regarding Battery charging SEL-10500

Important – Please read!

Dear customer. We hope you get a lot of joy out of your new Electric scooter.
The battery built in the Electric scooter is not fully charged from production line and when left unused the battery can slowly discharge by itself.
This can lead to slow charge if the battery is fully discharged, but this is done to avoid damage to the battery.

If you experience that you cannot turn on your E-scooter, and it doesn’t seem to charge (the charger lights up green instantly), then please do the following.

Leave the charger in for 6-7 hours. This will make sure the battery will be fully charged again (it can take 3-4 hours before it starts normal charging).
If this does not solve your problem, please ride the Electric scooter manually without turning it on. Use your legs to give speed, for around 100 m, and then connect the charger. The engine in the front wheel will this way help to activate the charging function and it will charge normally. (fully charge takes 3 hours if using this way)
