Your Slingshot comes with a built-in rechargeable lead-acid battery.
Always use the provided charger only. The charging port is located on
the left side of the Slingshot. Please remember to cover the Charging
Port when you are done charging the Slingshot. Before your rst ride
you must fully charge the Slingshot - charge for 7 hours for the rst 3
times you use it. For every ride after, charge your Slingshot 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.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
1. Plug one end of the power cord into a grounded AC outlet and the
other into the Slingshot’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
Slingshot 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.
Don’t use the Slingshot 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 Slingshot. Do not charge the
battery if it has over-discharged. It should be discarded for your safety.
Do not turn on the Slingshot while it is charging.

FOOT POSITION
Before riding, put your foot as close as possible to the front of the Deck,
and your other foot on the ground. Make sure that your driving route is
clear. To start riding, boost yourself forward with your foot that is on the
ground. Keep one foot behind the other, (it’s more comfortable to place
one foot forward and the other one turned at 70-90°). It will help you
gain more stability. The turns on the Slingshot are commanded by the
direction you turn the Handlebar/Front Wheel in. Before turning, look
both ways to make sure your path is clear.
HOW TO APPLY THE BRAKE
To apply the brake, press down on the Rear Foot Brake with your back
foot. Using the Rear Foot Brake will also deactivate the motor.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
DRIVING RANGE
The average range of the Slingshot is 4 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.

• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the Slingshot
under recommended temperature, which will increase its
longevity and driving 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.
