2. Push off with your other foot and coast the scooter – just as you would when riding
a non-powered scooter.
3. Slowly twist the throttle grip towards you to apply power to rear wheel.
Stopping
To slow down or come to a stop, twist the throttle grip away from you or release it
completely. Squeeze the brake lever on the left side of the handlebar at the same time
to come to a safe stop. (Note: It is not necessary to skid the wheel in order to slow or
stop the scooter. Save this in case of emergency only!)
Storing your Scooter
When you are done riding, flip the power switch to OFF and plug in the battery charger.
Caution: Do not charge your battery for more than 24 hours at one time.
Safe Riding Tips
These are usually a drag to read, we know. Especially for younger riders. But following
them doesn’t cost anything, and we think they are critical to keeping both rider and
scooter away from dangerous situations. Here’s our list...best if read aloud by a parent!
1.
Ride Responsibly:
Always wear a helmet when you ride. If you are a new rider, wearing
elbow and knee pads will also help keep your scooter riding safe and enjoyable. Protect
yourself on the road!
2.
Ride on Smooth Pavement:
Your Electro Drive 350 series scooter was designed to
be ridden only on smooth, dry pavement. Caution: Riding off-road in the dirt or riding
in wet conditions will damage the scooter, so don’t do it. The Limited Warranty will
not cover damages sustained by off-road riding.
3.
Ride Straight:
Do not stunt ride or jump the scooter! The 350 series scooter is simply
not designed or built for stunt riding or jumping, and if riders abuse and damage the
scooter by riding in that manner, the Limited Warranty won’t cover it.
4.
Ride Alert:
Whenever you ride, follow all traffic regulations, especially stop signs,
traffic signals, pedestrian crosswalks, etc. If you have to cross a busy street, or many
lanes full of traffic, cross safely by walking your scooter in a designated crosswalk
zone. Note: If you want to know if any special laws govern scooters and their
operation in your locale, contact your local police station or Department of Motor
Vehicles for information.
5.
Ride Defensively.
When in doubt, always yield the right-of-way to the other guy.
Always assume that other drivers, pedestrians, motorcyclists and cyclists just don’t
see you there. Or won’t...until it’s too late. And because electric scooters are very
quiet on the road, other riders and drivers cannot really hear you coming.
6.
Ride Smart.
DO NOT ride your scooter at night unless you equip it with a
functioning, CPSC approved bicycle headlight and taillight. 3 Tips for Riding Smart:
1. Find a loud bell or horn, mount it on your handlebars and use it to warn others
that you’re coming. 2. Wear a brightly colored shirt or jacket to increase your visibility
