ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP
❑
Attaching the Handlebars
WARNING:
Failure
to properly tighten the wedge
may allow the handlebars to
dislodge while riding and may
cause you to lose control and
fall. When correctly tightened,
the handlebars will not rotate
out of alignment with the
front wheel under normal
circumstances.
WARNING:
Keep your
fi ngers clear of the pivoting
mechanism when folding or
unfolding the scooter, and make
sure others are standing clear.
Note:
The cable and wire
assembly from the handlebar
must not wrap around the
steering tube or handlebar
as shown in step 3. Sharp
bends or twisting of the brake
cable can cause the brakes to
malfunction.
❑
Charging the Battery
Your electric scooter may not have a fully charged battery. Therefore it is a good idea to charge the battery
prior to use.
• Initial charge time: 12 hours
• Run time: up to 40 minutes
• Recharge time: up to 8 hours,
• Average battery life: 250 charge/discharge cycles
Battery should be recharged
a minimum of 8 hours after
each use. When the vehicle
is not in regular use, recharge
the battery at least once a
month until normal use
is resumed.
1
Plug the charger port into the
port on the scooter. The charger
works with the power switch
in either the on or off position.
The charging input, on/off
switch and overload breaker are
located under the deck at the
front left-hand side.
2
Plug the charger plug into a
wall outlet.
Always
disconnect your scooter from
the charger before cleaning with
liquid.
Note:
If your charger does not
look like the one illustrated,
your unit has been supplied
with an alternative charger.
The specifi cations and charging
procedure would not change.
The charger has a small window
with one LED or two LEDs to
indicate the charge status.
Refer to the illustration on
the charger unit for the actual
“charging” and “charged” status
indications for your model
charger.
Chargers have built-in over-
charge protection to prevent
battery from being over-charged.
Be sure to properly align the
groove on the charger input
plug with the corresponding
socket on the case;
otherwise, no charging
action will occur.

Using a 6mm hexagonal
key wrench, tighten the
wedge by turning the bolt
clockwise. The wedge is
properly tightened when the
handlebars cannot be twisted
out of alignment with the
front wheel.
5
Pivot the handlebar assembly
upright.
1
Loosen the locking knob
and swing to the 6 o’clock po-
sition to unfold the handlebar.
2
Remove the plastic protector
covering the base of the handle-
bar assembly. Insert the “quill”
part of the handlebar assembly
into the fork. You may have to
loosen the wedge to allow it to
slip into the fork.
3
Slide the quill into the
fork until it bottoms on the
headset.
6
Swing the locking knob to
the 12 o’clock position and
tighten by hand as fi rmly as
possible.
WARNING:
Failure
to recharge the battery at least
once a month may result in
a battery that will no longer
accept a charge.
