FOLDING & ASSEMBLY

Ensure the Swagger 5 is off before working with any of its parts. The scooter comes mostly assembled within the package. Some minor assembly is required before riding. All parts and tools are included.

Assembling the Handlebars

First, thread the section with the brake and bell onto the left side of the handlebars, then use an Allen key to tighten the screw underneath it. Next, screw the handles in. Lastly, make sure everything is securely attached.

2. Open the bottom of the mount and position it over the spacers and handlebars. Remember which side the metal nut is on.
3. After positioning the mount, add the plastic nut into the empty section at the bottom of the mount. Turn the plastic nut to tighten the mount and secure it.
4. Turn the tilt gear, adjust the tilt angle for the top of the mount as desired, and turn the gear in the opposite direction to secure it.
5. Turn the expansion lock then turn the expansion gear to open the top of the mount.
6. Position your phone inside the mount then turn the expansion gear in the opposite direction so that the corners of the mount close over your phone and hold it in place.
7. Next, turn the expansion lock to secure everything.

Standing, Folding & Unfolding the Device

Before using the kickstand, bring the scooter to a complete stop and turn it off. Before riding the scooter again, lean the scooter off the kickstand and fold the kickstand up.

Standing

1. Locate the kickstand on the side of the scooter's deck.
2. Push the kickstand down and away from the scooter then carefully lean the weight of the scooter onto the kickstand.
   

Folding

1. Turn the collar counterclockwise to unlock the latch.
   
2. Fold the latch down then pull the stem down towards the deck.
   
3. Line up the handlebars with the rear bumper so that the lock connects to the hook.

Unfolding

1. Move the lock so that it detaches from the hook.
2. Pull the stem up away from the deck.
3. Fold the latch up towards the stem and turn the collar clockwise to lock it.

Before moving, lifting, or otherwise transporting the scooter, ensure it is turned off.

Tire Inflation

You will need a pressure gauge, a standard bicycle pump, and the included valve extender to inflate the Swagger 5's tires.

1. Ensure the scooter is powered off and stable, so it doesn't move during inflation.
2. Visually inspect the tires for damage, scuff, or puncture marks. If the tire is damaged, DO NOT INFLATE IT. Contact customer service immediately.
3. Find the valve located on the inside of the wheel and remove the cap.
4. Use a standard bicycle pump to pump air to the tire slowly.
5. Use the pressure gauge periodically to check PSI.
6. When the tire reaches 28 PSI / 1.9 BAR, stop inflating and replace the valve cap.
7. Repeat with the other tire.

• Any PSI marking on the tires themselves indicates a maximum. DO NOT inflate the tires to this value, only inflate them to 28 PSI as directed above.
• As with all air-filled tires, underinflation is strongly recommended if you intend to ride outdoors in temperatures above 90°F degrees. Bring the Swagger 5 indoors and deflate the tires to 25.2 PSI. If the PSI is too high and the tires are exposed to excessively high temperatures, riding outdoors may cause serious damage to the tire including but not limited to stretching and/or rupturing.

CHARGING

Charge the Swagger 5 before using it.
The charge cycle is complete when the battery indicator on display is full. Each charge cycle from zero to full charge will take approximately 3.5 hrs. When the backlit display on the handlebars indicates that battery power is low, recharge the Swagger 5.
To recharge the Swagger 5, use the included charger.

1. Make sure the scooter is powered off then locate the charging port under the deck.
2. Insert the appropriate end into the charging port and then insert the other end into an outlet.
3. While the scooter is charging, the charger light will turn red.
4. When the scooter is fully recharged, the charger light will turn green. You may then disconnect the scooter from the charger.

DO NOT, under any circumstances, use the scooter while it is charging or connected to the charger.

The charging time is approximately 3.5 hours. Charging longer than that may affect battery life and/or performance. If the charger's light doesn't turn on, it may not be fully connected. Check that it is securely connected to the wall and to the scooter.
