Accelerating and Braking
Throttle tips:
1. Turn the key to the ‘ON’ position, and turn the throttle gradually to accelerate
2. To prevent losing control of the scooter, please turn the throttle slowly until the speed increases.
3. Do not turn the throttle until you are in the position to drive.
4. To stop, release the throttle and apply the front and rear brake simultaneously.
5. To move, release the brakes and turn the throttle gradually.
6. The brushless motor makes a small electro­magnetic noise when turning the throttle to start. This is normal.
CAUTION
Never use the economy speed switch while riding. The scooter must come to a complete
stop before the rider can use this switch. Using this switch during riding will damage the motor controller.
Braking tips:
1. For safety, this scooter has a circuit brake system. When the front and rear brake is applied or the kick stand is down, the controller will disable the circuit. Release all the brakes and ensure the tail light is OFF before accelerating again.
2. Less frequent, sudden braking will increase the range.
3. Do not continually operate at full throttle. Frequently releasing the throttle and running with inertia will help to much increase your range. This motor has good torque and the inertia momentum is enough to run some distances without electric power.
WARNING
For your safety and security, take the key out when you are not riding.

Battery gauge and charging instructions
Charging
The battery for this scooter is a sealed, mainte­nance free D/C battery.
CAUTION
Only the factory-supplied charger can be used.
Turn off all switches while charging the battery. Plug one side to a 240V outlet and the other into the charging plug on the scooter (located under the seat).
The average charging time is 3 hours (90%) for the 5000W. To fully charge battery, charging time will be 4 to 5 hours.
After charging, turn the ignition to the ‘On’ positi­on and unplug the charger from both sides.
To keep the battery in good condition, charge it after each use.
Charge the battery fully once a month, even when the scooter has not been ridden.
Battery Longevity
NOTE
The rider should, if possible, charge the scooter after every trip as this will help the battery’s life. The life of the Lithium battery is 1000 deep cycles (80% deep discharged), but if you charge the battery every time or when its capacity falls below 50%, the battery life will be greatly increased. Therefore we advise the rider to charge the bike as often as pos­sible. Frequently riding at economical speed isbetter for battery life and range.
Performance
A range of 55Miles (90km) has been recorded, yet the distance and speed depend upon various elements of the rider’s style and the road con­ditions. A 20mph constant speed will ensure the longest range but our gures include going at out too. Other factors include weather, scooter condition, and battery charge. Riders must be cautious when riding on rough roads, in poor weather, or when the battery charge is low.
This scooter has a circuit brake system to protect the scooter when the brake is applied;
After each trip, the driver should turn off the scooter, take out the key and charge the battery. This battery does not have memory (i.e. you do not have to run it down completely to achieve a good charge. On the contrary, regular charging will lengthen the life of the battery) and can be charged at any time in the cycle of the battery.
CAUTION
Always check the battery gauge while you are riding and be sure that it does not get too low too often.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is riding an electric scooter a comfortable riding experience?
a. Riding an electric scooter is indescribably more comfortable than riding a gasoline motor scooter. The silence and the smoothness of a direct drive electric-motor-powered scooter are incomparable. b. Quick accelerating---speed from 0 to 55mph (88km/H) takes only 6 seconds
What about maintenance?
a. This scooter is designed for minimum main­tenance. Considering the fact that this scooter has no combustion engine, no transmission, no belts, no chains, no fuel, no lubricants, no ignition plugs, no carburettor, etc., the modular designed components are practically mainte­nance free. The unique design of the direct drive system and the total absence of belts or chains make this scooter much easier to maintain than other electric scooters. Practically any scooter dealer can do most of the maintenance that may be required. The brushless motor is precisely that so there is never a need to change the brushes.
What about parts, is it a problem getting parts for this scooter?
a. All parts can be purchased directly from the dealer including batteries, tyres, bulbs, seats etc.
Can the electric scooter be cleaned or washed with water without any concern?
a. Due to its waterproof wiring bundle and Direct Current source and 60V system design, there is no danger when the scooter gets wet.
b. However, one should be careful not to pour water directly into the charger outlet, the control­ler and the internal battery set when washing or cleaning.
Do you need to wear a helmet to drive the electric scooter?
a. For safety reasons we always advise the use of a helmet. However, local law dictates whether or not riding scooter law obligates a helmet.
Is it easy to recharge the batteries?
a. Yes, it is very easy. The user just needs to insert the input plug of the Battery Charger into any regular wall outlet of AC220V and the output plug into the inlet on the right rear side of the scooter, which is clearlymarked. This will start to recharge the batteries. Daily charge of the battery will lengthen its life cycle.
How long will the batteries last, what is the batteries life cycle?
a. The battery‘s life cycle will be reduced or damaged if an insufcient charge level is retained for a long period of time. Depending on the user‘s operation, between 1000(80% discharged) and 2000 cycles (50%discharged). Normally the batteries should last between two and three years if the user charges it regularly.
How do I know what the batteries condition and energy level are?
a. The display panel includes a battery indica­tor, which indicates the power level remaining.
I. FULL: the index at Green Zone II. Warning: the Index at Yellow Zone III. Low Voltage: the index at red Zone.
Fully charged, what is the range of the elec­tric scooter?
a. The Range is affected by the weight of rider, the type of terrain and the speed at which the scooter is driven. Under optimal conditions (push red button and keep a steady 20mph rate speed), a range of 70 miles has been recorded on a single charge.
b. See the specication sheet for the full range and speed of the models.
