Riding
1.
Make sure that all of the exposed bolts and screws are tightened
.
2. Raise the kickstand to its upright position.
3. Push the on/off switch on the left side of the scooter frame, under the footplate. (Fig. 7)
to the ON position.
4. Put one foot on the deck of the EW-SCOOTER while pushing off with the other foot,
gently rotate the THROTTLE GRIP, on the right side of the handlebars. The
EW-SCOOTER will begin to move on its own power.
**Your scooter has a variable speed hand throttle. You can control the speed of your
scooter by the amount of pressure you use when rotating the hand throttle. The more
you rotate, the faster you will go.
Stopping/Braking
To brake, release the THROTTLE GRIP and depress the BRAKE LEVER (on the left side
of the handlebars. Depressing the brake will disengage power to the motor. When the
unit feels like it is loosing power or not accelerating to full speed, the scooter is ready to be
re-charged.
FOLDING & STORAGE
When you are done riding the EW-SCOOTER you can fold it down for compact storage
and transportation. To fold down the EW-SCOOTER, loosen the handlebar-folding clamp
and gently push down the folding handle. If needed, you may need to detach the left and
right handle grips and lower the T-handlebar prior to folding. See Assembly instructions
on page 7.
BRAKING SYSTEM
The EW-SCOOTER uses a hub brake system on the rear wheel. A hand brake
lever on the left side of the handlebar activates the brakes. Squeezing the
hand brake lever with your left hand will activate the rear brake. Make sure to
release the HAND THROTTLE GRIP when engaging the brakes.
Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking
system. Braking distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven
riding surfaces.
