Riding an Electric Scooter

If you can ride a bicycle, then you can ride an electric scooter!

PRE-OPERATIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS:

1) Read and understand your owner's manual carefully before using your Personal Electric Vehicle (PEV).

2) Thoroughly inspect your PEV for loose or damaged parts before each use. If there are any loose or damaged parts, perform the needed adjustments or repairs before starting your PEV.

3) To familiarize yourself with the PEV, try using it first like a regular bicycle until you can safely control your balance.

4) Make certain that the brakes work properly: make the vehicle move by pushing or using the pedals and check the rear and the front brake.

5) Inspect the throttle by twisting it on and letting it snap back. BE SURE THE THROTTLE SNAPS BACK TO ITS STARTING POSITION!! A STICKY THROTTLE CAN CAUSE UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION AND THUS BODILY INJURY.

6) Make certain the battery is charged completely by hooking up the charger. If the red light is on, the charge is in process. Charge it until the green light come on.

PERFORMANCE AND RANGE
Your PEV will get the best performance when used on smooth and flat terrain. The range may vary depending on the load weight, terrain, tire pressure, wind resistance and the number of stops. Remember to charge your PEV after every ride, even a short ride! Never leave the batteries in a discharged state overnight. Do not force the motor on steep terrain; rather gently use the power while you are pedaling. Assisting the motor's acceleration by using the pedals will increase your speed and range.

WARNING It is very important to keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressure printed on the sidewall of the tire. Low tire pressure can result in the following:
1) Reduced range
2) Reduced speed
3) Diminished battery life due to excessive current draw
4) Overheating of controller and/or motor, which could result in failure. Tires will slowly lose pressure over time, so be sure to monitor your tire pressure frequently.
