The product design allows for use by only one person. Do not carry additional people. Do not 
carry any items on the City Bug electric scooter, unless they are securely placed in the 
basket.

Do not use the City Bug electric scooter to pull or tow anything. 

 

Riding Terrain: 

 

Ride only on smooth, hard, flat surfaces. The City Bug electric scooter is not intended for off-
road or hilly conditions. 

 

Use caution when approaching curbs, uneven pavement, potholes or similar conditions. The 
small front wheel cannot roll over objects higher than about two inches. You may fall when 
running over these items. 

 

Do not ride the City Bug electric scooter downhill for extended periods. This may increase 
wear of the brake lining and adversely affect the ability to stop the unit. 

 

Mechanical Systems:

 

 

Check all joints, hinges and quick releases to ensure the City Bug electric scooter is properly 
assembled. Stop using the product immediately if any joint, hinge, or quick release becomes 
loose. Correct the looseness prior to resuming the ride. 

 

The electric motor, batteries, and controls can be damaged if exposed to water. Do not allow 
City Bug to be used in the rain, nor to be driven through puddles of water. 

 

Maintain proper air pressure in the tires. Low air pressure makes the motor work harder, 
reduces ground clearance, and wears the tires. Tyre Pressure to be 35 psi exactly !

 

If the brake lever touches the handlebar grip, stop use of the product until the lever is 
adjusted. 

 

Always deflate the tire before disassembling the wheel. Failure to deflate the tire could cause 
the wheel to come apart explosively.

Completely charge the battery for City Bug prior to the first use. Refer to the Battery System 
and Charger section for more information regarding battery use. 

 

Use caution when recharging the batteries. Do not recharge in an area that will allow City Bug 
or the charging unit to become wet. Recharge only in an area that is well ventilated. Keep 
children away from the City Bug electric scooter while it is being recharged.
