Items to Carry with the Electric Scooter
It is a good idea to carry the following items with you at all times when you ride your
electric scooter
.
•
A lock, to secure your escooter when you park it.
•
A helmet, as required by safety laws.
Inspecting your Electric Scooter
Always inspect your escooter before you ride it, to make sure its safety features are
operating properly. Many accidents can be avoided with routine inspections. Once you
are comfortable with your escooter, you will be able to detect small changes in the way it
feels. If anything changes between uses, make sure to have it properly examined. Also, be
sure to listen for changes in the sounds your escooter makes over time. Any mechanical
or power issues may have effects on the sounds the scooter makes.
Holding the Handlebars
As with a normal scooter, place your fingers over the brake levers, using the palms of your
hand and your thumbs to wrap around and under the handlegrips. Doing this allows you
to activate the brakes easily, by squeezing your hand, in case you have to stop quickly. This
is the safe way to control your electric scooter.
Turning your Electric scooter On and Off
To turn on your electric scooter, press and hold the power button. When your escooter
is activated, the power indicator will light and the battery charge indicator will jump,
showing you how much power your escooter has. To turn off the escooter, simply press
and hold the power button again.
