1) GETTING STARTED
Page 9
Inside the stowage area you will nd the following items which are
required or need assembly onto your bike:
1 – Plastic Handle Covers
2 – Mirrors
3 – Charging Unit
4 - Your Number Plate, if provided
You will nd that the keys for your new scooter
are attatched to the handlebars. You will need
these to gain access to under the seat. Once
you have located the keys please insert them
into the lock behind the seat where you will
nd items for attachment in the under seat
stowage area. Please note, due to the new-
ness of your bike you may nd that you need to
push down slightly on your seat whilst turning
the key in the lock.
Page 10
ASSEMBLY
The following information explains how to assemble the
attachment of the handle covers, mirrors and how to
charge your bike.
Handle Covers:
The two plastic colour coded handle covers require
attaching to the bike using a Phillips screw driver.
Taking the mirror covers and the self tapping screws
(provided) oer the mirror cover up to the handle bars
of the bike and insert using the locating tab on the cover
provided. This will ensure the cover lines up with the pre
drilled hole in the bikes handle bars. Screw the cover
onto position using the screw provided and a Phillips
screw driver.
Make sure you determine which is the left hand and right
hand mirror. On the top of the handle bars you will see
two pre manufactured threaded holes in the handle bars
Pulling back the plastic sheath on the stalk of the mirror
wind the mirror into the pre-manufactured hole until it
reaches the nut at the bottom of the thread. Then tighten
into position with the open ended 10mm spanner
ensuring that the mirrors are facing behind you when sat
on the bike. Once in position move the mirrors around to
suit your own rearward facing view requirements.
Page 11
MIRROR ASSEMBLY
Make sure you determine which is the left hand and right
hand mirror. On the top of the handle bars you will see
two pre manufactured threaded holes in the handle bars
which are for you to locate the mirrors.
Pulling back the plastic sheath on the stalk of the mirror
wind the mirror into the pre-manufactured hole until it
reaches the nut at the bottom of the thread. Then tighten
into position with the open ended 10mm spanner
ensuring that the mirrors are facing behind you when sat
on the bike. Once in position move the mirrors around to
suit your own rearward facing view requirements.

Insert the charging connector to the socket contained at the front
of the seat below the sitting position. Plug your charger into a
mains plug socket and you will see a RED light illuminate as the
bike is on charge. After six hours (approximately) this light will
turn to GREEN at which time you may remove the charger and the
bike is now fully charged. Please check this by turning the keys in
the ignition to ON and viewing the meter before setting o on your
journey.
The range of your bike can uctuate or be eected by the overall run speed and/or the terrain on which you are using your bike. As a general rule in normal driving conditions the range of your battery
is approximately 40 miles.
BATTERY CHARGING
Your bike comes with a charger to re-charge the bikes
batteries. Please note, your bike will need to be charged prior
to you making your rst journey. We advise that you give your
bike a full continuous charge prior to riding on the road for
the rst time.
Your bike has a charge meter on the instrument display panel.
Page 13
When the battery indicator reaches the amber light your
remaining run distance is approximately 10-15 miles.
Your Ego Scooter has four re-chargable batteries tted to the
bike. These batteries have a life expectancy of approximately 18
months, but this may uctuate depending on the use of your bike
and type of journeys you do generally. For details on replacement
of batteries please visit the maintenance section on our website.
Under the riders seat you will see an isolator switch. This switch
is turned to o while your scooter is being transported. Please
ensure you turn this switch to on, prior to your initial full charge.
You may use your isolator switch to safe guard battery life when
leaving your scooter for prolonged periods of time, or to increase
Scooter security when leaving your scooter unattended. We rec-
ommend that your scooter is left on charge at all times when not in
use to prolong the life of he batteries. Failure to do so could invali-
date your warranty.
RUBBER MAT
Your bike is provided with a Rubber Mat for your convenience.
This needs to be inserted onto the oor area and can be re-
moved for washing and to expose the maintenance cover.
Congratulations
Your bike is now ready for use.

important information about your vehicle.
1 Turn signal. The left or right turn signal indicator blinks
when you signal a lane change or turn. The turn signal
switch is operated by pushing the switch left or right
which is located on the left hand handle bar next to the
steering grip. To cancel the indicator, simply push the

exterior lights are on. It comes on when the light switch is in the rst or second position, rst position is for side
lights and second position is for main headlights.
High Beam Indicator. This indicator comes on with the
high beam when the high beam switch is pushed to start
operation.
3 Speedometer. This shows your speed in miles per
hour (mph) and kilometres per hour (kmh)
4 Battery Gauge. This shows how much charge is left
in the batteries on your scooter. This gauge may show
slightly more or less than the actual amount.
Fully charged batteries will run for approximately 40
miles depending upon conditions. We strongly advise
to keep the batteries on charge when the scooter is
not in use (see section on battery charging).
Page 16
5 Accelerator and Brake operation. The accelerator
control is on the right hand of the handle bars and
is operated with a twist and go action from rest
when the ignition is turned on
CAUTION: Be aware that as your Street Scoota is
silent from rest, please be aware that when you are
in the rest position and the ignition is switched on,
that twisting the throttle will cause the Scooter to
set o.
It is advised to take your seating position on the
scooter before turning on the ignition, as this will
prevent starting the scooter whilst getting on it.
The rear brake lever is operated by pulling the left hand lever which is cable operated. The right hand lever operates the front brake disc assembly which
contains brake uid.
Brake uid should only be replaced in accordance
with the recommendations contained within the
maintenance schedule by a suitably qualied me-
chanic.
Page 17
6 Horn. To use the horn press either of the two red
buttons located on the handle bars. Operation of
your horn will only work when the Scooter ignition is
turned on.
7 Stand. Your Scooter has two forms of stand.
A side stand for general use which is located on
the left hand side of the scooter and operated by
pushing the stand down with the bottom of your foot
and leaning the scooter slightly to the right where
it will stand on its own. Please note with this stand
down the ignition is cut so that your scooter cannot
operate. This is for your safety.
Page 18
Don’t Drink and Drive. Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Even one drink
can reduce your ability to respond eectively to driving conditions. Your
reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. Don’t drink and
drive.
Control your speed. Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries
and deaths. Generally the higher your speed the greater the risk. Serious
injuries can also occur at lower speeds. Never drive faster than is safe for
current conditions, regardless of the speed limits in force.
Keep your Scooter in safe condition. Having tyre problems or mechani-
cal failure can be hazardous. To reduce the possibility of such problems
check you tyre pressures and condition regularly and complete a general
review of your Scooters condition periodically to ensure it remains in
serviceable condition.
The main stand is predominately used for leaving
the Scooter over longer periods. This stand is on the
under side of the bike and is operated by standing
at the rear of the bike and pushing the stand down
until it connects with ground level. Simultaneously
pull the scooter back backward until it lifts itself
onto the stand.
Please note that when operating either stand your
scooter must be positioned on level ground.
Page 19
3) AUXILIARY ITEMS
Steering Lock. The steering lock is operated by
turning the handlebars to the far left position
and inserting the ignition key into the key barrel.
Now turn the key anticlockwise to the steering
lock position and remove the key. The Scooters
handle bars can now not be turned.
Top Box. Your Scooter is provided
with a storage top box located at
the rear of the bike. This box has a separate key to unlock/lock the top box which is an ideal area for
storing your belongings.
Page 20
Storage Cubby Hole. Underneath the
handle bar assembly is a lockable
cubby hole which is operated by
your ignition key.
Isolator Switch. The rider’s seat has a
lock assembly which is operated by a
separate key. The seat opens to allow
access to another storage
compartment. Contained within this
area is a Scooter isolation switch. You
will see that this switch has a lever
which is turned to the on or o posi-
tion. For increased security and to
save battery power when your scooter
is left for long periods of time such as
holidays etc please turn the isolator
to the ‘O’ position which then cuts all
power to the Scooter.
Page 21
4) MAINTENANCE
Maintenance. Regularly maintaining your Scooter is the best way
to protect your investment. You will be rewarded with safer, more
economical and trouble free riding if you carry out routine maintenance.
This means checking your Scooter regularly, carrying out simple tasks
you can do yourself such as checking the operation of your mirrors,
checking tyre pressures, brake eectiveness etc and generally keeping
your scooter clean and in god overall condition.
When checking your scooter over please ensure your are parked on level
ground, and that the scooter is securely positioned on either the side
stand or main stand.
