THIS APPLIANCE CONTAINS BATTERIES THAT ARE NON-USER REPLACEABLE.

Storage and Warnings
If the battery will not be used for an extended period of time store in a cool, dry place, and keep charged between 70-90%. Make sure to chek it it every month.
Please ONLY use the original special charger for charging the battery.
If you notice unusual sounds, smells or temperature variations coming from the charger or the battery, unplug charger immediately and contact customer service.
Improper use of the battery will damage the battery and may cause fires or explosions.
Do not disassemble or alter the battery or battery charger.
Do no place the battery near fire or corrosive substances.
Protect the battery / charger from exposure to liquids and do not use when damp.
Do not expose the battery / charger to extreme conditions.
Do not operate if damaged.
Recharge the battery only with the charger specified by manufacturer.
Do not use the battery / charger for any other purposes except the intended ones.

GOOD PRACTICES
Control the temperature Avoid charging in extreme temperatures that are outside normal comfort range. If your battery does get very hot or cold, allow it to come to room temperature before you plug in the charger. Batteries get warm even during normal use – wait a few minutes post-ride before you start charging.

Use the right charger
For best performance, use the original charger that was supplied with your eScooter. If you must use a different charger (for example: if the original charger is lost or damaged and replacements are no longer available) check carefully to ensure a 100% match before you charge.

Don’t take it to 0%
Lithium-Ion batteries have the longest service life when kept in the middle of their capacity. Sometimes, draining is unavoidable, but when possible, top off before 0%. Use the display or the battery indicator on your eScooter’s battery to monitor the charge level.

Don’t overcharge
Charge the scooter battery fully after every ride to prolong batery life.

Keep it dry
Never charge in a damp or wet environment. If your eScooter was ridden in the rain, ensure every component is completely dry before you charge.

Don’t pressure wash your battery, and never submerge it.
Give it some room
Both chargers and batteries can get warm during use. Make sure that any vents on the charger aren’t blocked and ensure that air can circulate around all the components. Place chargers on a hard surfaces only.

Don’t use an extension cord
Extension cords adds resistance. While extension cords can be convenient, some chargers may work poorly, or not at all, when plugged into extension cords. Plug your eScooter charger directly into a wall outlet instead for best results. If required to use an extension cord, use the shortest length possible, and always check the specs so ensure it can handle your charger’s requirements.

YOUR ESCOOTER KEYS:

This model is not equipped with any locks / unlockable components.

TYRES:
Start by doing a visual check, looking for abnormal wear or cracks. If you think your tyre needs replacement based on this check up, you should follow your instincts. You may bring your tyres to your local bike shop for a competent opinion. While doing your visual inspection, check for proper tyre pressure by using a tyre gauge suited for testing bicycle tyres. The recommended tyre pressure is 30(max) PSI and is marked on the tyre’s sidewall. The maximum pressure will carry the maximum load capacity of your bicycle.

Bearing lubrication
The next maintenance step is to lubricate the bearings. Your bearings are the connection between the rotating wheels of your scooter and the non-rotating frame that holds them stable. As you use your scooter, the friction can cause the bearing to get worn out – we prevent it from happening by lubricating it regularly.
Start by cleaning the bearings using with a clean and wet towel, you can spin the wheel at the same time which might make it easier for you to clean. After your bearings are clean, it’s really important for you to add lubricant to the bearings, if you don’t they will get worn very rapidly.
Spray the lubricant generously. Spray directly at the bearings and in the general bearing direction, since they are sealed for better protection. Spin your wheel at the same time to make sure the lubricant is dispersed effectively.

CLEANING YOUR ESCOOTER:

Basic cleaning information and maintenance guide.

Do not use a pressure washer to clean your eScooter. eScooters are not built to withstand high pressure water jets. Using a pressure washer at full power has the potential to damage parts and can force excess water, dirt, and debris into places it shouldn’t be in and wreak havoc on the workings of the e scooter.
Do not use special car cleaner and soaps on an eScooter as most car soaps have wax in them which are not suitable for eScooters.

Typically, the best way to wash e scooter accessories is to wipe them down with a dry rag. Avoid getting any water or soap on the following parts:
The hub bearing (the center of the wheel)
The bottom bracket (where the pedals connect together through the frame)
The headset bearing (where the handlebars connect to the frame)
The brake pads and rotor, or discs Chains, gears and motor

The first step when it comes down to how to wash an eScooter is to use a brush to clean the dry dirt from the rims and tyres of your e scooter. After that, take a wet rag or sponge and wipe down the frame of your eScooter. Make sure to get to the underside of the frame where dirt is most likely to gather. Once your eScooter has been thoroughly cleaned, rinse off all the dirty water. After the dirt residue has been cleaned from the eScooter use a clean, dry rag to wipe the scooter dry. Once you’ve wiped the scooter dry, lube the chain to prevent it from rusting. To do this, take your chain and run it through a clean dry rag to wipe off any water that managed to get on it. Next, take chain lube and apply a slow but steady stream to the inside of the chain as you rotate the cranks until the whole chain got lubed.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

F.A.Q’S:

1. So, how fast can you go on an eScooter?
   In AU, an eScooter must have a motor with a maximum power of 250W, assisting the eScooter to a maximum speed of 25 km/h to be road-legal.

2. Can you get any exercise out of an eScooter?
   The answer is that you can decide if you want to exercise with an eScooter. There are several options to challenge yourself physically if you want to.
   1. You can use your eScooter without any support or in Eco mode and still feel your legs burn.
   2. You can do several laps on the same ride.
   3. You can ride farther and longer with an eScooter.
   4. On your eScooter you are encouraged by the speed/fun factor, and you can keep going.
   5. If you weren’t riding an eScooter or regular scooter before, what would you be doing otherwise? We encourage you to get as much exercise as you want with your eScooter. And… If you prefer, you can simply have a good time and enjoy the ride without any sweat.

3. Can I handle the eScooter when the battery runs out?
   eScooters are enhanced by our motor technology, which provides support on the most challenging terrain. But if the battery runs out, no worries, you can still puse it as a normal push scooter. Will it be easy? That depends on what terrain you are riding. Empower yourself to ride your eScooter even when the battery runs out.

4. How far can I expect to ride on a single battery charge?
   The range for a single battery charge can vary greatly depending on conditions such as the combined weight of the rider and cargo; wind resistance; tyre pressure and tread profile; terrain and elevation changes; road or trail surface; outdoor temperature; maintenance of the eScooter; and the condition of the battery. Please refer to the spec sheet of the eScooter you prefer for the typical range.

5. What is the charging temperature range of eScooter batteries?
   Why can’t charge in high temperature or low temperature environment? The eScooter battery charging temperature range is -10~40° C, The battery pack BMS will be automatically protected and cannot be charged if the temperature is too high or too low. When temperature returns to the required range charging function will return to normal. In this case, there is no need to report for repairs.

6. How often should I do general maintenance?
   We recommend doing maintenance to your scooter every 6 months to make sure all of the components are working properly. Below you can find the steps to perform a basic maintenance of your Daxys Bandicoot Kickscooter. A tune up consists of the following steps:
   • Tire pressure check
   • Bearing lubrication
   • Suspension lubrication
   • Brake adjustment
   • Screw tightening You will need a few things to get these done, all of them can be purchased at a local hardware store.
   • Tire pump w/ pressure gauge
   • Jig-a-loo lubricant (or any other lithium grease in spray format)
   • Brake pads
   • Basic toolkit
   These are low cost items that, if used regularly, can make your scooter last dramatically longer. In other words, they’re an investment definitely worth making.
