This manual contains vital information regarding product care as well as best riding practices, riding conditions, and
precautionary measures. Read through this entire manual before riding, and make sure to heed all warnings. Failure
to do so may result in your ZINGO X300 not being covered by warranty.
WARNINGS
The ZINGO X300 is not intended to be used on public roads where there are cars, buses, taxis or any other licensed motor
vehicles. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the trac rules and regulations in your area to determine where it is safe for you
to ride your scooter.
Riding the ZINGO X300 can result in serious injury or even death regardless of the ability of the rider, any factory fault, any
precautions taken or conditions in which they (the rider) were riding in. Make sure to check that all nuts and bolts are tightly
fastened before use, that your brakes are in proper working condition, and that you are both able and competent to handle
this scooter. Parents should be made aware that this scooter is not for children under the age of 10, and further still, that riders
above this age should show a suitable degree of awareness, skill and ability to handle a ride-on of this nature.
Do not exceed the weight limit of 100kg. The rider’s weight does not necessarily mean that their size is appropriate to maintain
control of the scooter.
RIDING CONDITIONS, METHOD AND APPROPRIATE APPAREL
Make sure to use protective gear in the form of elbow and knee pads as well as a helmet and appropriate footwear. Gloves and
goggles are recommended.
Riders will become accustomed to riding the ZINGO X300 over time. Accidents can occur when given to someone who has
never ridden a scooter before. Exercise caution when allowing a rst-time rider to get onto the ZINGO X300. The rider should be
instructed on how to ride the ZINGO X300 (see full details on “HOW TO RIDE YOUR ZINGO X300” below).
Use caution when riding, and make sure to always be aware of your surroundings so as to avoid any pedestrians, other riders,
animals or xed obstacles that may cause you, or you may cause, any injury. The ZINGO X300 is not designed to withstand any
extreme manoeuvres. Do not attempt to perform any tricks, wheelies, bunny hops or any other extreme manoeuvres on the
ZINGO X300. Evidence of such abuse will render your warranty void.
Assess riding conditions before making use of the ZINGO X300, and do not ride through any gravel, mud, water, sand or on any
o-road surface. Do not ride your ZINGO X300 in the rain, or through any adverse weather conditions. The electrical and drive
components could be damaged by riding through the aforementioned elements or surfaces and will render your warranty void.
HOW TO RIDE YOUR ZINGO X300
The ZINGO X300 has a variable-speed accelerator (throttle) like that found on a motorcycle. You can control your speed
precisely by slowly opening the throttle. Opening the throttle further will result in increased speed. Do not snap the throttle
open suddenly as this will rapidly project the scooter forward. This may result in you losing control of the ZINGO X300 and can
result in damage to property or cause you serious injury.
Before turningthe ZINGO X300 on make sure that the scooter is aimed towards an open space with nothing in front of you.
Put one foot on the deck and hold the handlebars rmly. Familiarize yourself with the brakes before switching on your ZINGO
X300. Hold the accelerator rmly and slowly twist it open. As the scooter starts to move forward and you have enough speed
to balance, place your second foot onto the deck. Slowly open the throttle until you get to the required speed for the
conditions in which you are riding, whilst maintaining a speed suitable for your ability. Build your speed up gradually as you
become familiar with the scooter. Practise using the brakes while you are going slowly. Avoid opening the throttle to its
maximum until you are well accustomed to the scooters handling and braking. Fully opening the throttle will result in your
batteries discharging rapidly, and your range will be adversely aected.

1 2
Prior to rst use your ZINGO X300 must be charged for 12 hours. Even if the green light comes on, disregard this and leave the
unit charging for the full 12 hours before unplugging.
After the rst charge, charge your ZINGO X300 until the green light appears (this means that your scooter is fully charged). The
ZINGO X300 may be left charging for up to 5 hours. Do not exceed this period as your batteries may suer irreparable damage
and this treatment will render your warranty void.
BATTERY CARE
1. For the rst charge your ZINGO X300 must be left to charge for 12 hours.
2. From there onwards charge your ZINGO X300 until the green light appears on the charger. Do not charge your
ZINGO X300 for a period longer than 5 hours, this may cause irreparable damage to your batteries and will not
be covered by warranty.
3. Do not allow your batteries to go into “deep discharge”. This occurs when a rider does not charge the unit immediately
after the batteries have been depleted. This will cause irreparable damage to your batteries and will not be covered by
warranty.
4. Make sure that you charge your ZINGO X300 prior to storing it. Charge your scooter at least once every 14 days. Not
charging the ZINGO X300 every 14 days may result in irreparable damage to your batteries which will not be
covered by warranty.
To increase the range on your batteries, be sure to charge your ZINGO X300 whenever the scooter is not in use. On
returning from a ride, charge your ZINGO X300 immediately. Consistent charging will build up the range of your
batteries.
CHAIN CARE
Proper chain care will increase the life and improve the performance of your ZINGO X300.
1. Always keep the chain lubricated with a good chain spray (either motorcycle or bicycle-grade).
2. Make sure that the chain is tight with about 2-3mm of “play”.
3. It is recommended that you do not attempt to tighten the chain yourself, but rather visit a Service Centre for this
adjustment as this is a specialized operation.
4. Incorrectly aligning the rear wheel and/or over tightening the chain will cause damage to the scooter that will not be
covered by your warranty.
3.
ADJUSTING YOUR BRAKES & BRAKING
The ZINGO X300 has a rear wheel brake-pad system.
To tighten your brakes, loosen the lock nut (A) by turning it anti-clockwise until it spins freely. Now turn the tensioning bolt (B)
outwards until the brake is correctly adjusted. Finally, tighten the lock nut to lock the adjustment in place.
To loosen your brakes, loosen the lock nut (A). Turn the tensioning bolt (B) inward and the brake will loosen. Now tighten the
lock nut to lock the adjustment in place.
A
B
IMPORTANT: Please do not attempt to adjust the end of the brake cable that is located on the underside of the scooter.
This is a specialized operation that should only be done at your Service Centre.
HOW TO BRAKE
Pulling the brakes sharply at high speed can cause the rear wheel to lock which may result in a “at spot” on the rear wheel.
To avoid this, pull gently on the brake, this will decrease the chances of skidding and ultimately preventing at-spotting.
Flat-spotting on the rear wheel will not be covered under warranty.
FUSE/RESET
If your ZINGO X300 happens to suddenly stop working, check the fuse located below the deck on the left-hand side of the
scooter above the charging port. The fuse may have shorted if the motor was overloaded. If so, replace the fuse and correct the
riding conditions that caused the overload. Avoid repeatedly tripping the breaker. Should you experience further issues please
contact your local Service Centre (see below for details).
