3.Operating Limits
It is important that you familiarize yourself with the operating limits of the Escooter. These
limits are set to maximize rider safety while reducing the risk of damage to the Escooter. The
Escooter will perform better when you observe these limits.
(1)Weight Limits for rider and Cargo
Escooter sets weight limits for two reasons:
Rider safety
To reduce the risk of damage to the Escooter
Dynamic Weight Limits
To keep the Escooter and rider upright, the Escooter must always have enough power to be
able to drive its wheels forward and backward.
WARNING: Exceeding the weight limits, especially when combined with other variables that
require more power, will increase your risk of falling or damaging the Escooter
Variables that require more power include:
Higher payloads (weight of rider and all cargo)
Steeper slopes
Bumpier surface conditions
Higher speeds
Abrupt maneuvers
The Escooter monitors the amount of power being used and will activate safety alerts
when it senses excessive power demands. It is important that you learn to anticipate and
recognize when the Escooter is reaching the limits of performance
Minimum rider Weight
The rider’s weight must not be less than 100 lbs (45 kg). If the rider is below the minimum
rider weight, he/she may not be able to ride safely because he/she cannot shift his/her weight
far enough back (behind the centerline of the wheels) to safely slow down and stop. This is
especially true when riding downhill. Also, riders below the minimum weight may not
sufficiently activate the rider detect system, failing to properly interact with the Escooter’s
balancing system
Handlebar Cargo
The total weight of any handlebar payload plus any other attachments hanging from the
13
handlebar must not exceed 10 lbs (4.5 kg).
WARNING: Exceeding the handlebar cargo limit interferes with the Escooter's balancing
ability and could cause the Escooter to accelerate forward,risking injury and/or damage to the
Escooter.
Structural Weight Limits (Maximum Payload)
The maximum payload (rider plus all cargo) is 275 lbs (125 kg) for city model,287 lbs(130 kg)
for off road model,330 lbs(150 kg) for new off road model. Exceeding the maximum weight
limit increases the risk of damage to the Escooter. Heavier payloads place greater stress on the
Escooter. Several factors affect the loads transmitted to the two wheel electric balance:
Skill level of the rider
Payload (weight of the rider and all cargo)
Surface condition (obstacle height, etc.)
NOTICE: Exceeding the rider or cargo weight limits, especially when riding on uneven
terrain, could damage the Escooter.
(2)Maximizing Range
Maximum range distances are provided in Table 2,3 and 4. The range of your Escooter is
affected by many variables, including:
Terrain: Riding on smooth, flat terrain improves range, and riding on hilly terrain and
unpaved surfaces reduces range.
Speed and Riding Style: Riding at a consistent, moderate speed will increase range.
Frequent starting, stopping, acceleration, and deceleration reduces range.
Tire Inflation Pressure: Riding with tire pressures below the specified limit reduces
range and can result in premature tire wear.
Rider Weight and Cargo: Lighter riders with less cargo experience better range than
heavier riders with more cargo.
Temperature: Storing, charging, and riding in temperatures close to the median of the
recommended temperature range improves range. Riding in colder temperatures reduces
range significantly.
Battery Condition: Properly charged and maintained batteries provide greater range. Old,
cold, heavily used, or poorly maintained batteries provide less range.
Wind: Riding with a tailwind increases range. Riding against a headwind reduces range.

Chapter III The Escooter
This chapter describes how the Escooter works. It includes: Information about remote
control,Instructions of Sound Alert,Escooter components.
1.How the Escooter Works
The Escooter works like the human body,using technology called dynamic stabilization to
maintain its balance and move forwarder or backward.After judging body posture position
with a built-in precision solid gyroscope,the Escooter electronic brain works out proper
instructions throughout a sophisticated and high speed central microprocessor,the battery
drives the motor to balance the scooter.When walking,if you lean forward,you take step
forward to keep balance.If you lean back,you step back.On the scooter,when you lean forward
or back the machine powers the wheels in the direction that you lean.
When you lean,your center of the gravity moves beyond the contact patch(the place where the
tire contacts the ground) causing the Escooter to tilt.The Escooter’s system sense this
change,powering the wheels to keep them underneath you.
When you pivot the riding steer left,the scooter turns left.When you pivot the riding steer
right,the Escooter turn right.To turn the Escooter,point the riding steer in the direction you
want to go,keeping the handle bar in line with your body.When the riding steer is centered,the
Escooter travels straight ahead.
The Escooter’s dynamic stabilization technology balances forward and backward but not
side-to-side.If you tip the scooter onto one wheel,it will not dynamically bring itself
underneath you and it could fall over.You are responsible for maintaining side-to-side
stability while riding the scooter.To do this,keep your body aligned with the riding steer.Lean
into turns and lean uphill when riding across a slop to maintain side-to-side balance.
Picture 4 Leaning Forward and Back Picture 5 Turning

2.Remote Control
(1)Different mode
Balance Mode:You ride your Escooter in Balance Mode. In this mode, the Escooter
detects when you lean forward or backward, or tilt the LeanSteer Frame left or right,
and it moves its Wheels in response to your movements.
Riderless Balance Mode: In this model,the Escooter allows you to slowly move the
Escooter when you are not riding it. Step down off the Escooter, and walk with your
Escooter in Riderless Balance Mode to move around obstacles, stairs, or terrain that is
difficult to navigate or dangerous to rider over. When the Esccooter is in Riderless
Balance Mode, it is important to hold onto the Handlebar to prevent the Escooter from
moving on its own.Escooter can keep balance even without rider on it.You can tow
scooter easily.Escooter consumes less battery in Towing mode.When battery LCD
screen states less than 20% or less 2 dots,you can make Escooter in Riderless Balance
Mode if it is not convenient for battery charging immediately.You can tow scooter back
easily with less battery.
WARNING: To prevent a riderless Escooter from traveling on its own, never let go of it
while it is in Balance Mode. It will travel some distance on its own before shutting
down,risking injury to others and damage to the Escooter.
Beginner Mode: In this mode,the max speed of Escooter is 8 km/h.
Normal Speed Mode:In this model,The max speed of Escooter is 20 km/h.
(2)Speed Limit
When you approach the maximum allowed speed, the Escooter will push the Handlebar back
to slow you down (Refer to Picture 6).
WARNING: Riding against the Handlebar can cause loss of control, collisions, falls, and
injury.
The Escooter also make sound alert when the Escooter push the Handlebar back,if you are
moving too fast! When you feel the Escooter pushes the Handlebar back, stop leaning
forward and slow down. Always leave a gap between yourself and the Handlebar as shown
in Picture 7. Once you slow to a speed that the Escooter determines is safe, it will resume
normal operation and riding position.The speed at which the Escooter pushes the Handlebar
back depends on a variety of factors including riding style, terrain, payload, whether or not
19
the Beginner Setting is enabled, Battery condition, foot positioning, and other factors.
NOTE:Conditions that may cause the Speed Limiter to activate when you are traveling at less
than the maximum speed allowed for your operating mode include:
Riding up or down a steep hill
Riding on bumpy terrain
The first few seconds after you power on and step on the Metal Body
Low Battery charge

is important that you practice riding in a controlled, familiar environment until you are
comfortable using your Escooter.
Before riding, make sure your Escooter is assembled and charged.Inspect your Escooter
before each use. Do not ride if any part is loose, damaged,or if the Tires are not properly
inflated. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in the Escooter.
1.Riding Form
Your posture and stance affect your ability to ride safely:
Be alert. Scan both far ahead and in front of the Wheels—your eyes are your best tool
for safely avoiding obstacles and slippery surfaces.
Keep a firm grip on the Handlebar, your legs loose, and knees and elbows bent. This
helps you maintain your balance over rough terrain.
Leave a gap between yourself and the Handlebar. Do not lean over or into the
Handlebar. Leaning over or into the Handlebar dramatically increases the risk of
collisions, falls, and loss of control.
Keep your feet centered on the Mats.
28
Practice controlled stopping.
Keep your body aligned with the LeanSteer Frame and lean into turns.
Point the LeanSteer Frame in the direction you want to travel.
Make sure the Handlebar is set to the correct height.
2.Avoiding Hazards
The Escooter is highly maneuverable and allows you to easily navigate around obstacles.
However, to prevent the loss of traction, you must always be careful when riding and learn to
identify and avoid slippery, icy, or wet surfaces,loose materials (sand/gravel), steep slopes,
and obstacles. Stop and step off your Escooter and use Riderless Balance Mode to move your
Escooter over unsafe surfaces or terrain.
(1)Avoiding Slips
The Escooter Tires must be able to grip the ground for the machine to stay upright!Slips occur
when the tires lose traction, potentially causing loss of control and a fall. AbruEscooter
maneuvers, and riding over slippery surfaces, loose objects and materials, or steep slopes can
cause the tires to lose traction.
Avoid abruEscooter maneuvers, such as fast stopping or starting.
Avoid riding on slippery surfaces such as snow, ice, wet floors, wet grass, or any other
surface that might cause slipping.
Avoid riding over loose objects or materials such as small branches,litter, or small
stones.
Use caution when riding over any terrain change such as pavement to grass, or over a
threshold or speed bump.
Avoid riding on steep slopes. Maintain Tire contact with the ground.
(2)Avoiding Trips
Trips occur when the Escooter’s Wheels or Metal Body encounter an obstacle or terrain
change that prevents the Escooter from moving, bringing it to an abrupt stop and potentially
causing a fall.
Avoid holes, curbs, steps, and other obstacles.
Avoid riding over any surface where the bottom of the Esecooter may strike any object.
Use caution when riding over any terrain change such as pavement to grass, or over a
threshold or speed bump.
29
Picture 12 Navigate Around Obstacles Picture 13 Avoid Slips
(3)Avoiding Tips
The Escooter balances front to back but not side-to-side. You are responsible for maintaining
side-to-side balance by leaning into turns. If you fail to actively maintain this side-to-side
balance, the Escooter can tip sideways and fall.
Avoid riding across steep slopes.
Lean into turns and lean uphill when riding across gentle slopes.
Keep the LeanSteer Frame vertical when riding across a slope.
Avoid turning on slopes or ramps.
Never let go of the Handlebar when riding across a slope. The Escooter will turn
downhill and you could lose your balance.
Stay centered on narrow sidewalks or elevated paths.
Avoid turning when maneuvering backward.
Make sure that one Wheel does not drop off a curb.
Picture14 Avoid Trips Picture15 Lean Uphill on Slopes Picture 16 Do not Drop a Wheel off A Curb
3.Step 1: Preparing for Your Ride
To prepare for your first ride:
(1)Select an appropriate area for your first ride. This area may be indoors or outdoors and
30
should measure at least 12 feet by 12 feet (4 meters by 4 meters). It must have a level, smooth
riding surface with good traction and should be free of obstructions and away from vehicles,
bicycles, pets, small children, and other distractions.
(2)You will need a spotter who has studied all the instructions and warnings in this manual to
help you and assist you with the instructions.
(3)Put on your helmet and fasten and adjust the chin strap in accordance with the helmet
manufacturer’s instructions.
(4)Move the Escooter to the center of the riding area.
(5)Adjust the Handlebar height.
Picture 17 First Rider Requires a Spotter Picture 18 ALWAYS Wear a Hlemet
Step 2. Powering On the Escooter
Keep Escooter horizontal,turn on the Power Switch,and Escooter will make an sound alert
and battery LCD screen will illuminate,then using the Remote Control,unlock your Escooter
by pressing Button “A” ( If it was locked last time before power off, you need to press Button
“A” to unlock it. If it was unlocked, it is no need to unlock), you will hear a sound
alert,Escooter is in Balance Mode,then you can step on the Escooter. Escooter’s default speed
mode is Normal Speed Mode.
WARNING: Do not step onto the Escooter yet! The Escooter is powered on, but is not
balancing.
Step 3. Before Stepping On
Sure the Handlebar of Escooter is center and the Metal Body
is level.
Step 4. Stepping On
(1) Before you attempt to step on for the first time:
Have your spotter stand in front of the Escooter, face you, and hold the Handlebar
31
securely with both hands. Your spotter should be prepared to firmly hold the Escooter to
keep it from moving.
Remember, the Escooter will move forward, backward or turn if you move the
Handlebar. Avoid pushing, pulling, or leaning the Handlebar as you step on.
(2) To step onto the Escooter:
1) Hold the Handlebar with both hands.
2) Place just one foot on the Mat.
3) Slowly transfer your weight to your foot on the Mat. As you step up,look forward and
not down.
4) Slowly, while not moving the Handlebar, raise your back foot off the ground and place
it on the Mat. Stay calm and relaxed. Look forward.
NOTE: Some people rock back and forth involuntarily when they step on.
5) If you feel unstable, step off the Escooter, one foot at a time, and pause before stepping
back on. The spotter should continue holding firmly the entire time, and be prepared to
keep the Escooter from moving as you step on or off.
(3)Keep the Metal Body level to remain stationary. The correct position for standing in place
is shown in Picture 21.
Picture 20 Stepping On Picture 21 Keep the Metal Body Level to Remain Stationary
Step 5: Moving Forward and Backward
The Escooter moves forward and backward in response to changes in your position. When
standing on the Metal Body, to move forward or backward:
32
1)With your spotter available to assist you, slowly lean forward and feel the Escooter move
forward. Then stop leaning forward and feel it slow down and stop. Do this a few times.
WARNING: Avoid rocking back and forth or shifting your weight abruEscooterly, as this
could result in a loss of traction and cause a fall.
2)Look behind you and then slowly lean back and feel the Escooter move backward. Then
stop leaning back and feel it slow down and stop. Do this a few times.
NOTE: You should not ride backward exceEscooter to maneuver a few feet. Instead, turn in
place, then ride forward.
3)With your spotter standing close by, practice going forward and backward a short distance
in each direction. Be careful not to run the Wheels into any wall or object. This could cause
you to fall.
WARNING: Do not turn or go fast when maneuvering backward.
Step 6: Stopping
Stop the Escooter Escooter by shifting your weight away from the direction you are moving.
To stop the Escooter:
1)When you are moving forward, gently shift your hips back (as if you are preparing to sit
down) to bring the Escooter to a stop.
2)Once stopped, center your weight over the Metal Body to remain stationary. If you continue
to lean back, you will move backward.
3)Practice choosing a spot on the ground, and coming to a smooth controlled stop at that spot.
Then remain stationary.
NOTE: Use a sit-down motion to stop, by keeping your shoulders aligned over your hips and
shifting your weight backward.
WARNING: Always perform a controlled stop. Avoid abrupt stops. Come to a controlled stop
by gently shifting your weight away from the direction of movement.Avoid abrupt stops and
slippery surfaces. Stopping abrupt, especially on slippery surfaces, can cause the Escooter's
Tires to lose traction, causing you to fall.
33
Picture 22 Moving Forward and Backward Picture 23 Stopping
Step 7: Turning
The Escooter turns in the direction that you lean the Handlebar. You turn the Escooter by
leaning the Handlebar left or right.
(1)Turning In Place
First, practice turning in place. To turn in place, slowly pivot the Handlebar to the side in the
direction that you want to turn. The Escooter will rotate in that direction, turning in place.
Practice turning to the right and to the left using this technique.
(2)Turning While Moving
After you are comfortable going forward and backward and turning in place,try slowly riding
forward and turning at the same time. Keep your knees slightly bent and lean in the direction
of the turn in coordination with the angle of the LeanSteer Frame. Keep your body aligned
with the LeanSteer Frame while turning. Because abrupt turns may have unintended
consequences,always lean into turns slowly and smoothly.
Picture 24 Turning in Place Picture 25 Turning While Moving
Step 8: Stepping Off
When you are ready to step off the Escooter for the first time, your spotter should hold the
Handlebar.
34
Remain stationary by keeping your weight centered over the Wheels and Metal Body and
keep the Handlebar vertical. To step off the Escooter:
(1)Without leaning backward or to the side, step off the Escooter, one foot at a time.
WARNING: Be careful not to pull back or turn the Handlebar while you are stepping off
the Escooter.
(2)After you have stepped off, continue to hold the Handlebar in place.If you let go, the
Escooter will roll forward and can potentially cause injury or damage.
Picture 26 Stepping Off
Step 9.Lock and Power Off Escooter
(1)After your step off Escooter,Press Lock Button of Remote Control,you will hear beep,and
Escooter is locked.(If Escooter is locked,1.Escooter will make alarm alert when people push
or pull Escooter over 45 degree angle leaning if Escooter is power on.2.Escooter will not keep
balance and make alarm alert when people stand on Escooter if Escooter is power on.)
(2)Power of Escooter by Pressing Power Switch,and LCD battery display will not light.
(3)Put down the stand so that the Escooter can park well.
Picture 27 Different Stand
(4)If your Escooter goes with the standard lock(only new model),you can also lock the
Escooter by the Lock(Picture 28).
Means:
1)Align the well-set codes with the Default password"00000", and pull out the locking bar.
35
2)Align the password before before locking. Insert the locking bar in place into the lock and
then disorder the codes to lock.
Setting password
1)Turn the adjusting knob clockwise to position A as shown in Picture 29 when unlocked,
align your desired codes with the protruding marks,then turn the adjusting knob back to
position B. When all the 5 codes are set well, disorder the codes.
2)To make sure the codes work, disorder the codes, then reset and insert the locking bar into
the lock. If this goes smoothly, locking works.
Tip: If the locking bar cannot be inserted successfully, make sure the lock bar is inserted in
place as Pic.5, turn the first code wheel, and insert the locking bar from 0 to 9. Repeat this for
the other code wheels until you get the right codes and then reset.
Picture 28 Locking Picuture 29 Adjusting Lock
4.Practice Riding
(1)You will need to become very familiar with your Escooter before you attempt to ride
outside of your controlled practice environment. The more you practice, the safer you will
be when you move into new places. Remember the following as you practice:
Use the Beginner Model and ride in areas free of obstacles and distractions until you are
comfortable on your Escooter. Practice at the Beginner Model until you can step on,
ride forward and backward,turn, stop, and step off with the same precision and
confidence as
you walk.
With practice, you should be able to ride in narrow areas. You should also be able to
ride, turn, and stop on a narrow, curving, paved walkway.
Until you can ride with this precision, do not attemEscooter to ride in any area where
36
you might encounter children, pedestrians, pets,vehicles, bicycles, or other obstacles
and potential hazards.
Use caution when riding in new environments.
Be careful when riding through a doorway.
Make sure you leave enough Wheel clearance.
Watch out for terrain transitions such as pavement and grass
(2)Navigating Terrain
With practice, you can learn to ride over many different types of terrain, provided you avoid
slippery surfaces, loose materials, steep slopes, and obstacles. Always proceed slowly over
unfamiliar terrain. Never allow the Escooter to become airborne, even for short periods of
time, because the Escooter has no traction when airborne, and you could lose control upon
landing.
(3)Terrain Compensation
The Escooter is designed to compensate for uneven terrain. When riding straight on uneven
terrain, keep the LeanSteer Frame vertical. Point the LeanSteer Frame in the direction you
want to move and allow the Metal Body to follow the contour of the ground.
Picture 29 Riding Hazards Picture 30 Keep the LeanSteer Frame Vertical on Slopes
(4)Navigating Stairs and Curbs
Step off Escooter,and making Escooter enter Riderless Balance Mode before you try.
WARNING: Keep the Escooter below you at all times. Lead it up the stairs, curbs, and slopes
and keep it below you when descending stairs, curbs, and slopes.
1) Check the Escooter is in Riderless Balance Mode
2) Walk around so you are in front of the Escooter.
3) Carefully guide the Escooter to the stairs and align the Wheels perpendicular to the
37
stairs or curb.
4) Always stand above the Escooter, facing the Handlebar. Gently guide the Escooter up or
down, one step at a time.
Picture 31 Navigating Stairs and Curbs
5.Riding Etiquette
User proper etiquette when riding your Escooter.
Be careful and considerate of others.
Always ride under control at a speed that is safe for you and those around you.
Always be prepared to stop.
Respect pedestrians by always yielding the right of way.
Avoid startling pedestrians. When approaching from behind, announce yourself and
slow down to walking speed when passing. Pass on the left whenever possible. When
approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the right and slow down.
In heavy pedestrian traffic, slow down and proceed at the pace of pedestrian traffic. Pass
only if there is ample space to do so safely.
Do not weave in and out of pedestrian traffic.
When riding with other Escooter riders, maintain a safe distance, identify hazards and
obstacles, and do not ride side-by-side unless there is plenty of room left for pedestrians.
Do not park your Escooter in a way that blocks pedestrian traffic.
Cross roads at designated crosswalks or signaled intersections. Do not jaywalk/ride.
Only travel on a road when a pedestrian way is not available or when sidewalk use is
not allowed. Do not ride your Escooter on private property (inside or outside) unless
you have obtained permission to do so.
38
Learn about and obey applicable laws and regulations.
6.Riding Tips and Safety Guidelines Recap
The Escooter's unique balancing ability and ease of use may lead you to become
overconfident. If you exceed the ability of the Escooter to balance,such as by riding over
obstacles, uneven terrain, slippery surfaces, loose materials, or steep slopes, you can very
quickly lose control, leading to collisions, falls, and injury. As with any other transportation
device, using a Escooter exposes you to risk of injury. You can reduce the risk by following
all the instructions and warnings in this Manual, but you cannot eliminate the risk.
Read this Manual.
Pre-ride inspection. Inspect your Escooter before each use . Do not use if any part is
loose or damaged.
Do not place any objects on the Mats. This could cause the Escooter to move on its own
when in Balance Mode, possibly damaging your Escooter and rendering it unsafe for
use.
Do not allow any person to use your Escooter unless that person has carefully read this
Manual.
Do not use the Escooter in hazardous atmospheres. Hazardous atmospheres are
locations where fire or explosion hazards may exist due to flammable gases,vapors,
liquids, dust, or fibers.
Wear a helmet,knee and elbow pad. Whenever you ride your
Escooter wear a helmet that fits properly with the chin strap in
place. Use an approved bicycle or skateboard helmet that
provides protection for the back of your head. Depending on
riding conditions and your riding experience, consider using additional protective
equipment such as gloves, eye protection, wrist guards, and knee pads. Wear footwear
that protects your feet and provides adequate support and comfort.
Spot new riders until they are comfortable with the basic
operation of the Escooter. All new riders should use the
Beginner Mode. The safety of new riders is your
responsibility. Do not allow anyone to step onto the
Escooter for the first time unless you are there to hold the Handlebar. Do not let new
39
riders operate the Escooter outside of your direct supervision unless they have read this
Manual.
Avoid slippery surfaces, loose materials, steep slopes, and
obstacles. If you cannot avoid a slippery surface, loose
material, steep slope, or obstacle, then you must step off
and use Riderless Balance Mode to move across it. Be
especially careful when riding in confined spaces or near
obstructions.
Use caution on slopes. Use caution when ascending, descending, or crossing slopes. Do
not attempt to ride across any slopes with loose material or slippery surfaces. Instead,
step off and use Riderless Balance Mode, walking with the Escooter held downhill from
you. When riding across any slope, lean uphill to maintain balance.
Watch those turns! Always turn slowly and with caution. Fast turns can lead to loss of
control and falls.Lean into turns.
Do not take risks. When you encounter a slope, uneven terrain, or other terrain feature
with which you are not experienced or that makes you at all concerned about your safety,
do not risk riding over it. Instead, step off and use Riderless Balance Mode.
You are taller than you think. Be aware of the added height that
the Escooter (and your helmet) gives you and use caution when
riding indoors or in the vicinity of doorways, archways, branches,
signs, or other low overhead obstacles.
Do not wear loose clothing that can catch in the Tires and prevent proper steering.
No passengers. The Escooter is for one rider. Do not ride double
or carry any passengers. Do not carry a child in your arms or in a
child carrier while riding. Expectant mothers should not ride the
Escooter.
Do not exceed the maximum weight limit (rider and all cargo) specified in this Manual.
If you exceed the maximum weight limit, you are at greater risk of falling and injury,
and damage to the Escooter could result.Also, the rider's weight must not be less than
the minimum rider weight limit specified in this Manual. If you are below the minimum
rider weight limit, you may not be able to ride safely because you cannot shift your
40
weight far enough back (behind the center line of the Wheels) to safely slow down and
stop, especially when riding downhill. Riders below the minimum weight limit might
also fail to properly activate the Escooter's Rider Detect Sensors.
Never ride on stairs or through revolving doors. Riding on stairs is extremely dangerous,
as is riding on escalators and through revolving doors.
Do not step off a moving Escooter. Always come to a stop before
stepping off.
Do not ride in the dark. Do not ride the Escooter in low visibility
conditions without a light. To ride safely, you must be able to clearly see what is in
front of you and you must be clearly visible to others.
Be alert. As with any other transportation device, you must be mentally alert to safely
ride a Escooter. Do not attempt to ride if you are ill or if you cannot comply fully with
the instructions and warnings in this Manual. Do not ride under the influence of alcohol
or drugs.
Avoid distractions. Do not use a mobile phone, listen to headphones, or engage in any
other activity that might distract you or interfere with your ability to monitor your
surroundings while riding.
Be prepared to stop. Be especially careful when approaching or crossing intersections,
driveways, corners, doorways, and other areas where you may need to slow down or
stop to avoid motor vehicles, bicyclists, or pedestrians.
When riding, keep both hands on the Handlebar and both feet
on the Mats. Be relaxed. Ride in a relaxed position with your
knees and elbows slightly bent and head up. Do not attempt to
carry any object in your hand(s). If you need to carry any
object, use a cargo accessory that is recommended by Escooter or a securely attached
backpack with both shoulder straps in place.
Never restart and ride your Escooter after it has indicated an emEscootery Battery
condition or performed a low Battery Safety Shutdown. The Escooter may not have
enough power to keep you balanced, especially if you demand a lot of power at once.If
you restart and continue riding, you risk falling. Also, you may damage your Batteries,
resulting in reduced Battery life and capacity.
41
Do not ride backward, except to maneuver a few feet. Instead,
turn and ride forward. There is a difference between maneuvering
backward and riding backward, similar to the difference between
stepping back and walking backward. Maneuver backward only
when necessary to open a door or back away from an obstacle.Avoid turning while
maneuvering backward.
Riding on the road. The Escooter is not intended or recommended for primary use on
roads. If you must ride on the road, or must cross the road, be extremely careful. Ride as
far away from traffic as possible. Allow plenty of time for crossing roads. Remember,
the Speed Limiter or an unexpected obstacle could slow your crossing. Check to make
sure that riding on the road is allowed by law.
Never let go of a balancing Escooter. Never let go of your
Escooter when in Balance Mode, because the Escooter will
travel some distance on its own. The Escooter will not travel
very far if you let go of it when it is stopped. But, if you let
go of it when it is moving at any speed, it could travel much farther, risking injury to
others and damage to the Escooter.
Carrying cargo. To carry cargo, use a cargo accessory that is recommended by Escooter
or a securely attached backpack with both shoulder straps in place. Do not place cargo
(or any object) on the Metal Body. The total weight of any Handlebar payload plus any
other attachments hanging from the Handlebar should not exceed 10 lbs. (4.5 kg).
Exceeding this limit interferes with the Escooter’s balancing ability and could cause the
Escooter to accelerate on its own, risking injury and damage.
Leave a gap! Leave a gap between yourself and the Handlebar.
Do not lean over or into the Handlebar.Leaning over or into
the Handlebar dramatically increases the risk of loss of
control, collisions, and falls.
Do not ride the Escooter if you suffer any impairment to balance.
The Escooter has not been designed, tested, or approved as a medical device. You must
be able to step on and off the Escooter unassisted, which requires physical abilities
similar to ascending and descending stairs without assistance and without holding the
42
handrail.
Escooter recommends that you not allow children to ride your Escooter unless: (a) you
have first learned to ride, so that you understand the care and skill required to ride safely;
(b) the child has read this entire Manual and watched the entire Safety Video; and (c)
you are satisfied that the child has the knowledge, maturity, and physical ability to ride
safely without endangering him/herself or others. As a general rule, Escooter
recommends that riders be at least 16 years of age. Keep in mind, all Escooter riders
must weigh at least 100 lbs in order to activate the rider detect system.

3.Charging Your Batteries
(1)In order to maintain the best performance from your Escooter Batteries, fully charge the
Batteries for at least 12 hours once a month, or once every 12 hours of operation—whichever
comes first. Charge your Batteries only when they are within the specified charging
temperature range.
CAUTION: Failure to charge the Batteries could result in damage to the Batteries. Left
unplugged, the Batteries could fully discharge over time, causing permanent damage. Use
only charging devices approved by Escooter.
Charging times vary depending on the following:
Amount of charge already stored in the Batteries—The lower the Battery Charge Level
is, the longer it will take to complete the charging process.
Temperature of the Batteries—Batteries that are too hot or too cold may not charge or
may take much longer to charge. Batteries charge most efficiently when they are close
to the center of the recommended charging temperature range.
45
If storage temperature is below 32° F/0° C, do not charge your batteries. Instead, bring
them into a warm (above 50° F/10° C) environment for charging. Doing so will ensure
optional battery life and performance.
WARNING: Do not insert the Power Cord plug if the Charge Port, Power Cord, or AC Power
outlet is wet.
To charge the Batteries:
1) Put your Escooter in a clean, dry place, within the recommended charging temperature
range.
2) Open the Charge Cover on the charge port which on the back of your Escooter.
3) Verify that the Charge Port, Power Cord, and AC Power outlet are clean, dry, and free
of debris.
4) Plug one end of the Power Cord (provided with your Escooter) into a grounded AC
outlet (100V–240V; 50Hz–60Hz). The Power Cord should be properly grounded (The
Indicator of Charger will turn Green if the Charger is 36V,The Red and Green Indicator
of Charger will light,also the fan of charger start working a while if the Charger is 72V).
5) Plug the other end of the Power Cord into the Charge Port(The Green Indicator will turn
Red if the Charger is 36V,The Green Indicator of Charger will turn Red,both two
Indicator of Charger is Red,and the fan of Charge keep working if the Charger is 72V).
6) When charging is full,the Red Indicator will turn Green if the Charger is 36V,The Red
Indicator of Charger will turn Green,both two indicator of Charger is Green and the fan
stop working if the Charger is 72V).
NOTE:The Escooter’s charging system automatically prevents overcharging.But please do
not make your Escooter charging over 24 hours.
(2)Unplugging the Escooter
When you are ready to use your Escooter, remove the Power Cord, then close the Charge Port
Cover as follows:
1) Disconnect the Power Cord from the Charge
Port on the Escooter.
2) Disconnect the Power Cord from the grounded
AC outlet.
3) Store the Power Cord.
46
4) Close the Charge Port Cover.
CAUTION: Always keep the Charge Port Cover closed, except when you are charging the
Escooter . Closing the Charge Port Cover prevents water, dirt,dust, and other contaminates
from entering the Charge Port and causing damage to your Escooter.
(3)Charging Failures
If a failure is detected during charging, all charging will stop.check the following:
1.If the Charge Indicator lights are off, check that AC power is present, and ensure the Power
Cord is fully seated in the Charge Port.
2. If AC power is present and the Charge Indicator lights is off if the Charger is 36V,or both
the Charger Indicator are off and the fan not work if the Charger is 72V, it means the Charger
have problem.Contact the Distributor of Escooter.
WARNING:Please do not use wrong charger in charging,the 36V charger have two kinds lead
acid and lithium,they can’t be mixed,36V charger and 72V charger can’t be mixed.Mixed
charging may damage the battery.
Do not use one Charger charging several same Escooter model, Charger always working is
may damage the Charger.
Do not disassemble charger.Contact the distributor of Escooter when service or repair is
required.
(4)Surface Charge (Partial Charge)
Whenever you do not fully charge the Escooter’s Batteries, surface charge or partial charge
may affect the accuracy of the Battery charge level display,causing it to show a higher charge
level than actually exists.
After you power on, check the Battery charge level display and then ride for at least three or
four minutes and check the Battery charge level display again. If the Battery charge level
display low percent or less dots during this time, the Batteries have received only a surface
charge.If necessary, plug the Escooter back in and recharge.
(5)How Temperature Affects Performance
The Batteries are usually significantly warmer than the air temperature due to heating that
occurs as electricity is delivered from them (while riding) and to them (while charging).
1)Riding in Hot or Cold Temperatures
The Batteries will run at the highest efficiency when you operate them nearest the center of
47
the recommended operating temperature range. As with all batteries, less energy is available
at low battery temperatures. You may not be able to travel the same distance when the
Batteries are cold as when the Batteries are nearer to room temperature.
2)Charging in Hot or Cold Temperatures
Your Batteries should be within the recommended charging temperature range prior to and
during charging. For the recommended Battery charging temperature range, The Batteries will
charge most efficiently when they are nearest the center of the recommended charging
temperature range. If your Batteries are too hot or too cold, they may take longer to charge, or
they may not charge at all. If you are concerned that the Batteries may be too cold or
overheated during charging,
(6)Replacing Batteries
Your Escooter is powered by three lead acid batteries(for lead battery model) or one
rechargeable Lithium Battery(for lithium battery model). With normal usage and proper
maintenance, Batteries should last the equivalent of 600 to 800 (lead acid battery) or 800 to
1000(lithium battery) full charges. As your Batteries near the end of their useful life, they
need more frequent charging and your Escooter’s range will be reduced. To order replacement
Batteries, contact your Distributor.
(7)Replacing Batteries in Pairs
Whenever you need to replace a Battery, consider replacing both Batteries , and always use
pairs of Batteries with the same chemistry(for lead acid battery).Replacing only one Battery
will not necessarily increase the performance or range of your Escooter, because the Escooter
is designed to operate only at the level allowed by the lower-energy Battery. Redundancy is a
critical safety feature built into the Escooter that also applies to the Batteries.Therefore, you
should replace Batteries in pairs (except for the unusual situation where a Battery is replaced
because of damage or defect and the other Battery is relatively new).
Chapter VI Maintaining Your Escooter
The Escooter is designed to be virtually maintenance free. Make sure it is clean, all parts are
installed and functioning properly, Batteries are charged, and Tires are properly inflated prior
to riding. Never open the Console, Metal Body, or Gearboxes. These are not user-serviceable
48
parts.

General maintenance procedures related to your Escooter
Important operating tips
WARNING: Before you perform any of the following procedures, verify that the Escooter is
powered off and unplugged. It is not safe to perform these procedures while the Escooter is
powered on or charging.
1.Lifting Your Escooter
WARNING: Watch your fingers! Never lift the Escooter by its Tires, Fenders, or wheels
because your hands or fingers could become caught, resulting in injury.Use proper techniques
to safely lift and load your Escooter. Escooter recommends that two people work together to
lift the Escooter.
To lift the Escooter:
1) Make sure the Escooter is unplugged and
powered off.
2) Select firm, non-moving lifting points such as the
Metal Body or lower cargo frames if equipped.
3) Lift the Escooter with your legs, not your back
2.Maintaining Tires and Wheels
WARNING: The tire pressure stated on affixed Wheel labels supersedes any recommended
pressure stated on the Tires. Higher pressure reduces suspension performance and traction,
and increases risk of loss of control, collisions, and falls. Lower pressure reduces range and
increases risk of damage to the Tire/ Wheel Assembly. Unequal pressure causes the Escooter
to turn in the direction of the lower pressure tire.
To ensure safe and efficient operation of your Escooter, be sure to check Tires and Wheels
regularly, especially if you have recently performed service on a Tire/Wheel Assembly.
3.Checking the Tire/Wheel Assembly
To check the Tires and Wheels:
1).Make sure the Escooter is unplugged and powered off.
2).Check for Wheel wobble by grasping the Tire/Wheel Assembly and attempt to move it
side-to-side. The Tire/Wheel Assembly should not move laterally. If you detect Wheel
49
wobble, check the Wheel nut and tighten if necessary.
4.Tire Inflation Pressure
The Tires on the Escooter provide suspension and traction. Both functions are affected by tire
inflation pressure. Be sure to:
1).Make sure the Escooter is unplugged and powered off.
2).Check tire inflation pressure regularly.Improperly inflated Tires will result in less than
optimal range.
3).If tire inflation pressure in either Tire is not at the level stated in the "Escooter
Specifications" for your Escooter model, inflate the Tire to the specified pressure.
4).Check that both Tires are inflated equally and are free of debris or contaminates.
5.Cleaning Your Escooter
WARNING: Do not clean the Mat or Tires with any specialized cleaners. Use of such
products may reduce traction, increasing the risk of a fall.
To clean your Escooter:
1.Make sure the Escooter is unplugged and powered off.
2. Always close the Charge Port Cover after charging
and prior to cleaning.
3.Gently clean your Escooter with soap and water and a
soft cloth.
Avoid Submerging Your Escooter
WARNING: Do not wash the Escooter with a power washer or high pressure hose. Avoid
getting water into the Charge Port. Always close the Charge Port Cover after charging. Avoid
exposure to heavy downpours or extended periods of heavy rain (including during riding,
storage, or when transporting). Clean with soap and water and a soft cloth. Make sure that the
Charge Port is dry before you plug in the Power Cord. Failure to follow these instructions
could expose you to electric shock, injury, burns, or cause a fire.
WARNING: Do not submerge the Batteries or Metal Body in water. If you suspect the
Batteries or Metal Body have been submerged or experienced water intrusion,contact your
distributor.Until you receive further instructions, store the Escooter upright, outdoors, and
away from flammable objects. Do not attempt to remove the batteries. Do not plug the Power
50
Cord into the Escooter. Failure to follow these instructions could expose you to electric shock,
injury, burns, or cause a fire.
