3. Moving and Stopping
Startup and Takeoff
After your scooter is unlocked, an additional startup sequence is needed to enter the Motor
Standby Mode and be ready for takeoff.
1. Please make sure the scooter is unlocked (but not yet in Motor Standby Mode).
2. Retract the main stand and side stand, and confirm the electronic throttle or reverse
throttle has not been activated; close the seat firmly and keep the scooter in
complete standstill.
3. Hold down the brake lever and lightly press the
“GO” button; you’ll see the
speedometer on the dashboard start counting down. The scooter enters motor
standby mode as “0” appears on the speedometer.
4. Release the brake lever and twist the electronic Throttle to start riding.

Note:
The throttle will not respond while the Smartscooter® is moving backwards
(gliding or being pushed), and the torque will be inactive until the Smartscooter®
is fully stopped to 0 km/h.
Warning: Lowering the side stand when the Smartscooter® is moving at low
speed (< 5km/h) will turn the motor off. Please do not extend it while in motion to
avoid the risk of sudden power loss or unexpected danger.
Warning: In emergencies, holding the brake lever plus a long press on the
“GO” button will cut the power and motor off. Please avoid such
operation during normal riding conditions to prevent the risk of sudden power
loss.
Warning: The scooter can only be started in complete standstill conditions. In
case the motor shuts off accidentally, please guide or push it to the roadside
slowly and carefully. Do not attempt to restart it while in motion or in the middle
of the road to avoid any risk.
