While riding your Liberty, if there is a system error or improper 

operation performed, the Liberty will prompt the user in a variety

of ways. 

You will notice the Running Indicator Light will turn RED and you will 

hear a beep sound alerting you to take precaution and cease 

operation, which may make the device stop suddenly.

The following are common occurrences where you will hear the 

Safety Alerts. These notices should not be ignored, but appropriate 

action should be taken to correct any illegal operation, failure or 

errors.

• Unsafe riding surfaces (uneven, too steep, unsafe, etc.)

• When you step on the Liberty, if the platform is tilted more than 10 

degrees forward or backward.

• Battery voltage is too low.

• The Liberty is still charging.

• During operation, the platform self initiates to tilt due to excess 

speed.

• Overheating, or motor temperature is too high.

• The Liberty has been rocking back and forth for over 30 seconds.

• If the system enters protection mode, the alarm indicator will light 

up and the board will vibrate. This typically occurs when the battery 

is about to run out of power.

• If the platform is tilted forward or backward more than 10 degrees, 

your Liberty will power off and stop suddenly, possibly causing the 

rider to lose balance or fall off.

• If any or both tires are blocked, the Liberty will stop after 2 

seconds.

• When the battery level has depleted below protection mode, the 

Liberty engine will power off and stop after 15 seconds.

• While sustaining a high discharge current during use (such as 

driving up a steep slope for a long period of time), the Liberty 

engine will power off and stop after 15 seconds.

CHARGING THE LIBERTY

• Ensure that the charging port is clean and dry. 

• Make sure that there is no dust, debris or dirt inside the port. 

• Plug the charger into a grounded wall outlet. The charging 

indicator light ON THE CHARGER will be green. 

• Connect the cable with the power supply (100V ~ 240V; 50/60 Hz).

• Align and connect the 3-pin charging cable into the charging 

port of the Liberty. DO NOT FORCE THE CHARGER INTO THE CHARGE 

PORT, AS THIS MAY CAUSE THE PRONGS TO BREAK OFF OR 

PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE CHARGE PORT. 

• Once attached to the board, the charging indicator light ON THE 

CHARGER should change to RED, indicating that your device is now 

being charged. 

• When the RED indicator light on your charger turns to GREEN, then 

your Liberty is fully charged. 

• A full charge may take up to 6 hours. While charging, you will see 

a yellow flashing light on the scooter, which also indicates charging. 

Do not charge for more than 7.5 hours.

•After fully charging your Liberty, unplug the charger from your 

Liberty and from the power outlet.
