2. Important Notes & General Information Before Driving
General information
• The MODSTER M530 is designed for the transport of a single person up to max. 100 kg and should be used for this purpose only. Failure
to observe this warning is considered to be improper use and is at the user‘s own risk.
• All interventions to increase the performance or speed and generally to change the characteristics of the scooter are punishable and are
prosecuted by law. They will void the warranty.
• The road traffic regulations must be observed at all times. You are obliged to inform yourself about applicable law in your country and
to comply with it.
• The MODSTER M530 is not a toy! It is not designed for the weight of children. We recommend a minimum age of 16 years and a minimum
weight of 25 kg.
Preparation for driving
• Choose a flat road for your first ride and make sure there are no obstacles in your environment.
• Check if the scooter has been fully extended and then correctly secured again.
• Make sure that the steering rods are screwed in properly and not loose.
• Check the effectiveness and correct function of your brake.
• Test the pedal screws and make sure that they are tightened.
• Check the battery charge and if it is sufficient for your trip.
Safety informations
• Only drive on dry roads. Riding on wet floor coverings can be very dangerous and has to be avoided at all costs.
• Never drive with motor support on the sidewalk. This is not only dangerous for you and your fellow human beings, but also illegal in
many countries.
• Due to safety reasons do not drive in the dark.
• Always wear protective equipment, in particular a suitable helmet, which reliably protects you against head injuries.
• Never brake by rubbing on the ground with your sole! Always brake with the rear brake (foot brake)!
The battery is only partially charged. Charge the battery completely before using the vehicle for the first time.
Please also note that depending on the country, different maximum speeds and restrictions regarding maximum power apply to electrically
assisted vehicles. It is your own responsibility to be informed accordingly and to stick to this.
Please always observe the laws and regulations applicable in your country regarding road traffic and vehicle class. Keep in mind that legislati-
on may vary by country, and that MODSTER M530 has no road registration. Please also check out www.der.schweighofer.at.
Beware of steep slopes! The braking performance is not sufficient in steep, rapid journeys to ensure a safe ride.
Drive slowly on your first ride to get used to the new kind of driving. Keep in mind that a higher speed also results in a longer braking distance.
If the vehicle is wet or after cleaning the vehicle, the brake system can react delayed due to the moisture. After cleaning the scooter, take care
that the brakes are dried before using the vehicle again.
For a long-term driving fun
Never use the MODSTER M530 on a wet road.
Do not jump with the scooter, as this will lead to excessive loads, which can result in damage to the scooter which is excluded from the war-
ranty. Be sure to avoid slopping holes at any time and drive at right angles over curbs and other obstacles.
