5.3 DRIVING
Your Dragonfly is a powerful e-mobility vehicle. Always use caution before and
during your drive and always wear personal protective equipment when driving. Always
practice somewhere safe, away from moving objects and pedestrians and away from
any potential hazard.
Note: We recommend you disable the push start feature (see page 38 ).
1. Turn your Dragonfly on.
2. Push your vehicle until a 1.5 - 3mph / 3 - 5kmh speed is reached. Once you reach
that speed, press the accelerator and prepare for your Dragonfly to accelerate.
3. Practice at the lowest speed possible, in D1 speed setting and 25% torque, to get
familiar with your vehicle’s manoeuvrability.
4 . Practice turning your vehicle, at the lowest speed. Make sure to slow down when
taking sharp turns. Keep your body evenly balanced when making turns to avoid a fall.
5. First practice turning by twisting the handlebars similar to a bicycle or motorbike.
Then progress to lean steering. Combine these two movement into one figure of
8 pattern. Notice that the deck also tilts and when you move your weight from left
to right. This is the 3rd dimension of steering. Twist, lean & tilt. Take your time to
master this technique at slow speeds.
6. Practice braking and judging good stopping distance, paying attention to the
weather and surface conditions you are driving on.
7. Keep practicing at low speed to get used to your Dragonfly before driving it in public.
5.4 DRIVING MODES
Your Dragonfly comes with various drive modes.
They are as follows*:
Driving Mode 1 (D1) Max speed 4mph / 6kmh
Driving Mode 2 (D2) Max speed 12mph / 20kmh
OFF ROAD (D3)** Enhanced performance
Reverse (R) Max speed 3mph / 5kmh
Park (P) Locks the front wheels
when Dragonfly is off.
* All figures rounded up the nearest whole number
** To access D3, OFF-ROAD mode needs to be accepted or switched to “Always ON”.
See page 43 .
4. Lights, horn and turn signals
Familiarize yourself with all safety components.
Lights: The lights and can be operated with the press of
a button on the left-hand side of the handlebars, marked
with the lights icon displayed above. Be aware, the daylight
running lights are always on by default. Press the lights
button to switch your lights to full beam. If you want to turn
the lights off altogether, press and hold the lights button
until the lights switch off. It is always recommended to
drive with your lights on.
Horn: Press the horn button to emit a warning sound. The
horn button is marked with the horn icon displayed above.
Always be seen and be heard.
Turn Signals: Always use the turn signals before turning.
Your turn signals can be controlled by flicking the turn
signal button left or right, displayed by the arrow turn
signals displayed above. Flick the button back to the
middle once you are finished using the turn signal.
5. Testing the brakes
Your Dragonfly is equipped with an electric front braking
system operated by the right lever and a mechanical drum
rear braking system operated by the left lever. Start testing
the braking mechanisms by kick-pushing your vehicle and
applying the brakes.
Note: The front electronic brakes
only work when your Dragonfly is switched on. E-Braking
performance increases with speed.
6. Accelerating
Your vehicle’s acceleration is controlled by an accelerator.
The button is located on the right-hand side of the
handlebars. Familiarize yourself with the accelerator
before trying to maximize speed.
7. Traction control
Your Dragonfly has the ability to intelligently control the
power to each front wheel. In slippery conditions this
means that more power is directed to the wheel that
has the grip. Be aware that in these conditions the front
wheels may feel a little different and you might need to
adjust your typical steering style to counter the effect of
the traction control.
