Maintenance

Cleaning and Storing

Use a soft, wet cloth to wipe the mainframe clean Hard to remove dirt can be scrubbed with a toothbrush and toothpaste, then cleaned with a soft, wet cloth.

Do not wash your S Kids with alcohol, gasoline, acetone, or other corrosive/volatile solvents. These substances may damage the appearance and internal structure of your S Kids. Do not wash your S Kids with a power washer or high pressure hose.

Make sure the S Kids is powered OFF, the charging cable is unplugged, and the rubber cap on the charging port is tightly sealed before cleaning; otherwise you may expose yourself to electric shock or damage the electronic components.

Store your S Kids in a cool, dry place. Do not store it outdoors for extended periods of time. Exposure to sunlight and temperature extremes (both hot and cold) will accelerate the aging process of the plastic components and may reduce battery life. Prolonged exposure to UV rays, rain and the elements may damage the enclosure materials, store indoors when not in use.

Battery Pack Maintenance

1. Do not use battery packs of other models or brands, otherwise there may be safety risks
2. Only use a Ninebot or Segway approved charge cable. Please use it properly within the rated range
3. Do not place the battery pack in the fire. Doing so will cause battery failure, overheating or even fire and explosion
4. Do not store or charge the battery at temperatures outside the stated limits (see Specifications)
5. Do not discard or destroy the battery. Refer to your local laws and regulations regarding battery recycling and/or disposal
6. Remember to charge the battery after each use. Completely draining the battery may cause permanent damage to the battery

NOTE
Typically, a fully charged battery should retain charge for 120-180 days when on standby. Electronics inside the battery record the charge-discharge condition of the battery; damage caused by over-discharge or under-discharge wil not be covered by the Limited Warranty

A well-maintained battery can perform well even after many miles of riding. Charge the battery after each ride and avoid draining the battery completely. When used at room temperature (70°F [22°C]) the battery range and performance is at its best; whereas using it at temperatures below 32°F (0°C) can decrease range and performance Typically, at 4°F (20°C) range can be half that of the same battery at 70°F (22°C). The battery range will recover when the temperature rises More details are available in the app

Do not attempt to disassemble the battery. Risk of fire. No user-serviceable parts.
Do not ride when the ambient temperature is outside the machine operation temperature (see Specifications) because low/ high temperatures will limit the maximum power/torque. Doing so could cause personal injury or property damage due to slips or falls.
Do not touch the metal contacts, dismantle or puncture the casing. Keep away from metal objects to prevent a short circuit.
