Tire Inflation
You will need a pressure gauge, a standard bicycle pump, and the included valve extender to inflate the Swagger 5's tires.
- Ensure the scooter is powered off and stable, so it doesn't move during inflation.
- Visually inspect the tires for damage, scuff, or puncture marks. If the tire is damaged, DO NOT INFLATE IT. Contact customer service immediately.
- Find the valve located on the inside of the wheel and remove the cap.
- Use a standard bicycle pump to pump air to the tire slowly.
- Use the pressure gauge periodically to check PSI.
- When the tire reaches 28 PSI / 1.9 BAR, stop inflating and replace the valve cap.
- Repeat with the other tire.
![caution]()
- 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.
- Make sure the scooter is powered off then locate the charging port under the deck.
- Insert the appropriate end into the charging port and then insert the other end into an outlet.
- While the scooter is charging, the charger light will turn red.
- 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.
