Warning
When you activate the escooter, the electrical system becomes live. Do not try to affect
changes to the escooter (suchrepairing electrical components) while the escooter
is activated. Turn the escooter off before you attempt to access any of the electrical
components. Also, the battery carries a significant electric charge and can injure people if
not treated properly and with respect.
Accelerating and Decelerating
The throttle is found on the right-side hand grip on the handlebars. Press the push throttle
away from you to accelerate. To decelerate, release the throttle. Don’t over-push the
accelerator, as this could damage the battery and electrical components.
Warning
Do not activate the accelerator until you are situated on the scooter and are ready to
accelerate. The escooter can easily escape from your control, possibly injuring you or
others, and the escooter may be damaged by being dropped.
Stopping
Your escooter has brakes at the rear. The lever attached to the handlebars, on the left,
activate the brakes. Pull the levers toward you to activate the brakes.
When the brakes are activated, the power to the engine is automatically turned off, until
you release the brakes. This allows you to stop safely.
Safety Tips
•
When you are traveling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to function
less efficiently because it reduces friction between the brake pads and the wheels.
•
Take care to slow down and give yourself more room to stop or slow if necessary.
•
It is a good idea to have your brakes and brake pads checked regularly. The brake
pads will eventually wear down through friction, and after significant use will have to
be replaced.
