Battery Maintenance
We suggest to charge your scooter after every use. This is not required but recommended.
A lithium-ion battery is a consumable device. Please replace with a new battery once capacity drops below 50% of what you experienced initially. Contact your place of purchase for a replacement.

Make sure the battery is charged and that the scooter is turned off before storing your scooter for extended periods at a time.

Store your scooter in a dry and cool place. Do not keep it outdoors or in outdoor sheds for extended periods of time, as excessive cold temperatures, heat, sunlight, rain, or other environmental conditions may impact safe operation and reduce the scooter’s lifespan.

Charge your battery at minimum every 3 months to prevent it from running completely empty. Once the battery runs completely empty due to slow discharge while in storage, it may have to be replaced.

Batteries perform poorly at low temperatures. For instance, if the temperature is around 0°F
(-18°C), battery capacity reduces by 50%. Capacity will restore to normal when temperatures rise.

Battery life and riding ranges will vary depending on usage, climate, road conditions, rider’s weight, and/or riding style, proper care, and maintenance.

Battery Disposal
Do not dispose of your battery by way of landfilling, incineration, or household trash.

We recommend disposing your battery through a local recycling program suitable for lithium-ion batteries.

Contact your local waste management service for more information.

Mishandling of used batteries may do tremendous harm to the environment. You must abide by local laws and regulations to properly dispose of used batteries.

Charging Warnings and Battery Safety Warnings

• Do not charge the battery in temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or above 104°F (40°C) as this can hamper performance, result in breaking, overheating, rupturing, or igniting and could cause personal injury or property damage.
• Do not charge your scooter if the charging port on the scooter is damaged or wet. Do not charge if there is excessive heat, odor or leakage coming from the battery or it looks abnormal in any way.
• If the battery leaks and you accidentally get in touch with the liquid, rinse immediately and thoroughly with water and then seek medical care.
• Never attempt to disassemble, modify, perform repairs or maintenance on the battery. You run the risk of damaging the protective and safety components that prevent incidents, personal injury or property damage.
• Mishandling or misuse of the battery can result in lower performance, shorter lifespan, rupturing, igniting, or other incidents and could increase the risk of serious personal injury.
• Do not discharge the battery with any other product than the scooter it comes with.
• Doing so could result in damage to the other product or the battery, and reduced lifespan of your scooter. The battery could overheat, rupture, or ignite and cause personal injury or property damage.

OPERATIONS

Assembling Venus
Carefully open the box and take the scooter out with both hands. Do not pull the handle bar out by itself, as it is attached to the rest via the cable work. Also pay attention not to lose the metal plaque which you will need to screw on to secure the handle bar to the steering bar.

1. Place the scooter on the floor and secure it by pulling out the kickstand.
2. Lift the steering bar into a vertical position and lift the locking buckle up so that the steering bar connects to the board. Before every ride, make sure the buckle is locked tightly. Pay attention that the handle post is not yet fixed to the steering bar but only loosely connected via the cable work.
3. Place the handle bar onto the steering bar and screw the metal plaque onto it with the screws and screwdriver set provided.
4. For the most comfortable riding position, we recommend you place the handlebar in the most upward position when tightening the screws.

Folding Your Scooter
*Always pull out the kickstand before folding the scooter to ensure it won’t fall off.

1. Hold the steering bar with one hand and lift the locking buckle upwards with the other hand. Fold the handle post downwards until the folding hook touches the rear deck and lock it with the hook in the deck. This will lock the handle post in folded position and enable you to carry your scooter with hands while folded.

Your First Ride
Before using your scooter, make sure to visually inspect it for any signs of damage or loose parts/screws.

Every scooter is individually tested before shipping from the factory, but we recognize that it has travelled far and in rare cases, it can get damaged during transport. If something does not feel right, contact your place of purchase before riding your scooter.

Pull the brake levers and ensure there is sufficient tension on the brakes BEFORE your first and any subsequent ride.

• Ensure you have sufficient run way ahead of you. Do not use the scooter indoors.
• Make sure the buckle that connects steering bar and board are locked tightly.
• Put both of your hands on the handle bar.
• Do not hang anything on the handle while riding because it will influence the balance of the scooter and cause personal injury or property damage.
• Step with one foot on the scooter, kick it lightly with the other foot to bring it slightly in motion.
• Step with your second foot onto the board, hold on tight and pull the accelerator.
• Do prepare for strong acceleration and start slowly.

Braking Correctly
The Venus scooter has dual front and rear disc brakes.
For braking, use the rear brake (the left braking lever on the handle bar) first for decelerating before engaging the front brake (the right lever) to come to a full stop.

When travelling at high speed, exercise caution when braking as the brakes are sensitive. This is especially true for the front brake as you risk falling over the handle bar if your center of gravity is too high while performing a hard stop with the front brake alone.

Mechanical Disc Brake Check
Pull the brake lever and ensure there is sufficient tension on the disc brake before riding. Check frequently to ensure brakes are working properly.
(Scan the QR code to watch instruction video on YouTube)

In case there is not sufficient tension on the brake, you can tighten it a little with the barrel adjuster (the plastic turning bolt at the end of the brake cable, just before it enters the caliper):

• To increase brake tension, turn the barrel adjuster backwards so that the caliper arm moves closer to the barrel adjuster.
• Don’t forget to tighten the nut afterwards so that the barrel adjuster stays safely in place.

If this does not do the trick or you have any doubts or concerns, please reach out to your place of purchase.

DISPLAY & KEY SETTINGS

Turn Signal / Mode Switch

• The switch has the following functions: light, turn signal, and horn button.
• When the light button is pressed, the front and rear deck light will turn on.
• When the turn signal button is pressed, the front and rear deck light will turn on and flash.
• When the horn button is pressed, the horn will start to work.
• When multiple buttons are pressed, the priority for the function from highest to lowest is turn signals, brake, and then light.

Driving Mode Selection

Located underneath the main display on the right side of the handle bar, you can find
two switches to control driving modes:

The ECO/TURBO switch regulates the power of your scooter. By pressing down the
button, the indicator light is on, which means TURBO mode is activated and there is
no restriction of power. When the button is not pressed, ECO mode is activated, which will reduce torque and top speed to maximize range.

The SINGLE/DUAL switch toggles between single or dual motor drive. By pressing down the button, the indicator light is on, which means DUAL (both front and rear) motor drive is activated. When the button is not pressed, only SINGLE (rear) motor drive is activated.

For Maximum range, select ECO mode and SINGLE motor drive. While for maximum power and speed, select TURBO mode and DUAL motor drive.
