CHARGING THE BATTERY
Your Gen 1 comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium battery. Always use
the provided charger only. Before your rst ride you must fully charge the
Gen 1 - charge for 12 hours for the rst 3 times you use it. For every ride after,
charge your Gen 1 until it is fully charged, and NOT LONGER. Do not leave any
chargers plugged in overnight, or leave it plugged in past the charge time. The
extension cord should not be plugged directly into the Gen 1 or the battery. It
needs to be plugged into the power supply. You can also charge the Gen 1 by
disconnecting the battery from under the seat and then charging the battery
directly.
1. Plug one end of the power cord into a grounded AC outlet and the other
into the Gen 1’s charging port. The red charging light on the charger unit will
turn on.
2. The red light will turn green once fully charged. Recharge the Gen 1 after
each use.
(Please note: Always plug the charger into the wall rst before the device. If the
wall outlet doesn’t have power and you plug the charger into the device rst, it
will light green, even if the battery is not full. So always plug into the wall rst to
make sure there is power.)
THE CHARGER OFFERS A CHARGING STATUS ON THE TOP OF THE
CHARGER:
CHARGING LIGHT RED: Battery is charging.
CHARGING LIGHT GREEN: Charging is complete.
Charge the battery when the Gen 1 displays low power. When you are done
charging the battery, remember to cover the Charging Port.
Don’t use the Gen 1 if the battery emits strange odors, overheats, or begins
leaking. If the battery does leak, do not touch any leaking materials, as the
battery contains dangerous substances. Do not open the battery and do not
insert anything into the battery.
Only use the provided charger for the Gen 1. Do not charge the battery if it has
over-discharged. It should be discarded for your safety. Do not turn on the Gen
1 while it is charging.

Helmet: Most serious injuries that occur while riding are head injuries. This
could be prevented by wearing a helmet.
Elbow and Knee Pads: For added protection, always wear elbow and knee
pads when riding your Gen 1, to prevent any serious injuries.
Get to know the Gen 1 before riding it. Test your control over it. Make
your turns slowly and cautiously, and give yourself stopping distance. It is
recommended you practice your rst ride on the Gen 1 in an open space with
no obstacles to disturb you.
DRIVING TECHNIQUE
Foot Position – While riding the Gen 1, either keep your feet on the Pedals or
on the Foot Rest. Do not ride with your feet dangling over the sides. Remain
seated while riding the Gen 1.
To start riding, turn the Twist Throttle slightly. Get accustomed to the
acceleration of the throttle.
PLEASE NOTE: Riding, like most sports, involves risk of injury and damage. By
choosing to ride the Gen 1 the responsibility and all inherent risk is on you. It is
crucial that you know, understand and act according to safety rules.
Turns - The turns on the Gen 1 are commanded by the direction you turn the
Handlebar/Front Wheel in. Before turning, look both ways to make sure your
path is clear. Remember to always use the Turn Signal Lights when turning.
Braking – To come to a stop, squeeze the Brake Levers. Be careful not to
squeeze the Brake Levers too fast, as it may cause too sudden a stop or jerking
motion.
DRIVING RANGE
The average range of the Gen 1 is 30-40 miles. However, a lot of factors will
affect how far you can go per charge:
• Driving surface: A smooth, at surface will increase driving distance.
• Weight: More weight means less distance.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the Gen 1 under
recommended temperature, which will increase its longevity and driv-
ing distance.
• Maintenance: Timely battery charging and maintenance will increase
driving distance.
• Speed and driving style: Maintaining a moderate speed will increase
distance. Frequent starting and stopping, acceleration, and decelertion
will reduce it.
