RIDING YOUR E-SCOOTER

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MAY LEAD TO DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, VOID OF YOUR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AND MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
OPERATING YOUR DEVICE
Make sure the device is fully charged before the first use. Before turning on your E-Scooter, ride it like a normal kick scooter to get comfortable with the device before using it with the motor. When you are comfortable riding the My First E-Scooter, power it on. For the motor to activate, you must first push off the ground with your foot to get the E-Scooter moving, then press the throttle down with your thumb. vTo slow down, release the throttle button and step on the rear fender with one foot to activate the foot brake. Applying more force to the brake will result in more stopping power. Do not attempt to stop suddenly, as this may lead to injury or damage to your E-Scooter. The My First E-Scooter utilizes a lean-to-turn axle. To turn, shift your weight to one side of the E-Scooter and move the handlebars horizontally in the direction you wish to turn. Prepare to brace yourself if you encounter bumps or uneven surfaces. If necessary, dismount your E-Scooter and carry it to a safe operating surface.

WARNING
Do not turn sharply or at high speeds. Do not turn or ride quickly along slopes, as it may cause injury.

SPEED AND WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Speed and weight limits are set for your own safety. Please abide by the limits listed here in the manual.

• Maximum Speed: 6 mph
• Maximum Supported Weight: 80 lbs
• Minimum Supported Weight: 44 lbs

WARNING
Riding the E-Scooter while exceeding the weight limit may increase the possibility of injury or product damage.

OPERATING RANGE
The E-Scooter can travel up to 2 miles on a fully charged battery under ideal riding conditions. The following are some of the major factors that will affect the operating range of your device:

• Terrain: Operating range is highest when riding on a smooth, flat surface. Riding uphill and/or on rough terrain will reduce the operating range significantly.
• Weight: A lighter user will have a higher operating range than a heavier user.
• Ambient Temperature: Please ride and store the E-Scooter in recommended temperatures. This will increase operating range, battery life, and overall performance of your device.
• Speed and Riding Style: Maintaining a moderate and consistent speed while riding produces maximum operating range. Traveling at high speeds for extended periods of time, frequent starts and stops, and idling will decrease operating range.

WARNING
Proper use of your brake is vital to ensure safe, efficient stopping. To avoid misuse and potential injury, do not apply sudden or excessive force to your brake. Apply the brake gradually and give yourself enough room to come to a complete stop safely.

SAFETY ALERTS

If a system error occurs or an improper operation is performed while riding your E-Scooter, the device will alert the user in a variety of ways. The following are common occurrences that will produce safety alerts. These notices should not be ignored and appropriate action should be taken to correct any improper operation, failure, or errors.
