Hardware Maintenance
Before You Ride
Brake
Check the brakes for proper function. When you step on the brake it should provide positive braking action. When you apply the brake with
the speed control on, the brake cut off switch should stop the motor.
Frame, Fork and Handlebars
Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken frames are rare, it is possible for aggressive rider to run into a curb or wall and
bend or break a frame. Get in the habit of inspecting your scooter on a regular basis.
Tires
Periodically inspect the wheels for excess wear.
Safety Gear
Always wear proper protective gear such as an approved safety helmet. Elbow pads and knee pads are recommended. Always wear athletic
shoes (lace up shoes with rubber soles), never ride barefooted or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels,
motor and drive system.
Battery
Make sure the power switch is turned off whenever the scooter is not in use. Never store the product in freezing or below freezing
temperatures! Freezing will permanently damage the battery.

Brake
Check the brakes for proper function. When brake is applied it should slow/stop the rear wheel without excessive effort. When you apply the
brake with the throttle on, the brake cut off switch should stop the motor. Make sure that the brakes are not rubbing when the brake is not
being applied. Do not ride the scooter if the brakes are not functioning properly. Do not touch the brake on the scooter when in use or directly
after use as these parts can become extremely hot.
Throttle
Make sure that before throttle is depressed that you are in an open and safe area to ride, you are balanced on the scooter and have both
hands on the handlebar controls. Push start scooter to approximately 3mph while depressing the throttle in order for motor to engage. The
scooter must be rolling at 3mph before the motor will engage.

freezing temperatures. These low temperatures will permanently damage the battery.
NOTE:
Push start scooter to approximately
3mph while twisting throttle in order for
motor to engage. The scooter must be
rolling at 3mph before the motor will engage.
WARNING:
