BATTERY AND CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS

1. For 12Ah
2. For 20Ah

Two plastic posts in the middle need to be removed.

WARNING!

• Store batteries in a dry, warm environment.
• Keep the batteries charged at all times.
• If you park in an outdoor or cold environment, the battery must always be charged; otherwise, it will be irreversibly damaged.
• If the scooter is not used for a long time, the battery will self-discharge, so it is recommended to check the battery condition continuously so that the voltage does not drop below the critical value when the battery can no longer be charged.
• Any claims concerning a battery damaged due to such improper treatment will not be accepted.
• Use only the charger designed for this electric scooter (never use a charger from another model). Before charging, set the switch to the OFF position and remove the key. Use the charger in a dry and well-ventilated area.
• The charger is for indoor use only. Protect the charger from water to avoid short-circuiting. Do not use in wet, flammable, or explosive environments. Do not remove the plug by pulling the cord. Always grasp the charging port by the metal body.
• First, plug the charger’s output plug securely into the battery receptacle, and then insert the input plug into a power outlet. The charger indicator lights up to indicate that charging is in progress.
• When the light changes from red to green, it indicates that the battery is fully charged. Typically, it will take approximately 6-10 hours for the battery to fully charge. If you have time, it is recommended to charge it for 2 more hours after the indicator light turns green. (This will positively affect battery life.)
• When the green light is on, the charger is in a maintenance charging state. If you are away for a long time, you should remove the charger plug, especially in hot weather.
• The charger heats up during charging, so keep it away from heat. Always keep the charger dry and clean. The electronics inside are under high voltage, so never disassemble it yourself.
• After charging, first unplug the power plug and then remove the output connector from the battery. Do not leave the charger plugged into a battery or wall outlet for an extended period of time, as this may damage the charger and cause a fire.
• Keep the charger out of the reach of children while charging. Do not place anything on the charger or allow any liquid to come into contact with the charger.
• The first 10-15 charges are unstable, the charging time can be up to 12 hours, and the charge indicator on the scooter display can show a partially discharged battery. After formatting the battery, everything will be fine.
• Furthermore, the battery is protected by its own 30A fuse, which is stored on the side of the plastic battery pack and secured with a plastic screw cap.

DRIVING POWER SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS

DESCRIPTION OF REMOTE CONTROL WITH ALARM

After pressing the stop button, if the rear wheel is completely locked and cannot be pushed when the vehicle is pushed, even if the throttle is turned in the Key On state, the motor will not rotate, and the alarm will not sound. Press the lock button of the remote control car to release the parking.

DRIVING

First, turn the ignition key to the “ON” position. You will see the battery charge level on the battery status indicator.

Pointer location:

• [H]: The battery is sufficiently charged
• [L]: The battery is not charged enough

The position of the pointer in the red box indicates that the battery is low and needs to be recharged. You can then easily start the electric scooter by turning the throttle handle (anti-clockwise). Accelerate gradually; do not attempt to reach maximum speed immediately, which would overload electrical components and the battery. Gradual acceleration saves both battery and engine.

The brake has the function of cutting off the power supply. If one of the brakes is pressed, the power supply is automatically cut off and the motor is switched off. Using the parking brake or releasing the throttle automatically cuts off the power to the engine. However, you should avoid attempting to use the throttle at the same time as braking to avoid overloading the engine.

The electric scooter control unit is equipped with an overvoltage protection. If the battery is running low and you are going uphill or against a strong wind, the surge protector will limit the speed. If you can use the pedals in such a situation, this will help the electrical system function properly.

This electric scooter is also equipped with low-voltage protection. If the battery is running low and the accelerator pedal is still used, the battery may be seriously damaged. Therefore, in this case, the power supply is automatically cut off.

MAINTENANCE

Technological breakthroughs have made components more complex than ever before, and the pace of innovation is increasing. This ongoing revolution makes it impossible for this manual to provide all the information required to properly repair and/or maintain your E-SCOOTER. In order to help minimize the chances of an accident and possible injury, it is critical that you have all repair and maintenance work performed regularly.

For more detailed maintenance instructions or for ordering replacement parts, please contact your E-SCOOTER dealer. Local bicycle retail stores, which have service facilities in your area, can also assist you with certain non-electrical repairs or adjustments that you are not qualified to make or for which you do not have the specific or specialized tools needed for repair. The fact that these vehicles have no combustion engine, no clutch, no ignition plugs, no carburetor, and use no gasoline means they require basically no maintenance.

In general, all the regular mechanical maintenance is to:

• Adjust the brakes
• Check the nuts and bolts
• Check tire pressure

Brake adjustment:

Proper adjustment of the brakes will promote the correct operation of the warning lights and increase driver safety. The brakes are adjusted in a similar way to each normal wheel. It is important that the brakes work properly and that the electrical disconnect devices are in working order (cable to the brake levers). There is a micro-adjustable rear drum brake nut that allows you to very easily adjust the response of the brakes to the push. Once the brakes are set, turn the wheels to see if there is any chafing. Also, make sure that if any of the brakes are pressed, the power cut function will be activated, and the motor will stop.

Lubrication:

To ensure the long life of your electric scooter, the following components should be regularly lubricated every 6 months: Front axle, chain; rear axle; the idle, front fork, and other moving parts must be lubricated only with grease, and the brake must not be filled with grease at all. Electrical components do not need to be specially cleaned as they have been lubricated at the factory. If any defect is found, contact an authorized service center.

Cleaning:

The electric scooter should be cleaned with a damp sponge, but care should be taken to avoid electrical parts coming into contact with water (battery connection, engine (rear axle), electrical cables, handlebar controls, etc.). Dry with a cloth. Do not use a strong stream of water when cleaning the electric scooter. Use a cloth to avoid short-circuiting electrical components. Your electric scooter is durable and does not require waxing. If necessary, clean with a mild detergent and rinse aid to restore its original shine.
