PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST

Brake
Check the brake for proper function. When you squeeze the
lever, the brake should provide positive braking action. Make
sure brake is not rubbing when the lever is released. When you
apply the brake with the throttle on/engaged, the brake cut-off
switch should cut power to the motor.
Wheels
Periodically inspect the wheels for excessive wear.
Tires
Periodically inspect the tires for excess wear and replace as
needed. Regularly check the tire pressure and inflate
as needed.
Frame, Fork and Handlebars
Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken
frames are rare, it is possible for an aggressive rider to run into
a curb or object and wreck, bend or break a frame. Get in the
habit of inspecting your scooter on a regular basis.
Hardware/Loose Parts
Before every ride, check all parts, such as nuts, bolts, fasteners,
etc., to ensure they are secure and assembled correctly. There
should not be any unusual rattles or sounds from loose parts
or broken components. If the product is damaged, do not ride.

under adult supervision. The charger
is not a toy. Always disconnect the
charger before wiping down and/or
cleaning the electric scooter with a
damp cloth.
The charger supplied with the
electric scooter should be regularly
examined for damage to the cord,
plug, enclosure and other parts.
In the event of such damage,
the electric scooter must not be
charged until it has been repaired or
replaced.
Chargers have built-in overcharge
protection to prevent battery from
being overcharged.
Note: If the charger gets warm
during regular use, this is a normal
