BEFORE RIDING

Any Switch that does not work properly can cause you to lose control and fall. Do not ride a Switch with a part that is damaged; replace the damaged part before riding.
It is important that you fully understand all elements of your Switch. If these elements are not used correctly, you will not have full control of your Switch. Before you ride, learn the functions of the various mechanisms on your scooter.
Practice using these elements of your Switch at slower speeds in a flat, open area before taking the Switch out in public areas.

PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
Ensure that your Switch is in proper working order each and every time you ride. If a part of the scooter does not function correctly, please contact our Customer Support Center.

• Ensure the battery is fully charged before riding your scooter.
• If the Switch is not to be used for an extended period of time, you may need to recharge the battery every 2 months to maintain the battery life.
• Please wear all appropriate safety and protective gear as previously mentioned in the User Manual before operating your Switch.
• Make sure to wear comfortable clothes and flat closed-toe shoes when operating your Switch.
• Please carefully read the Operation Manual, which will assist in explaining the basic working principles and provide tips on how to best enjoy your experience.

RIDING YOUR SWITCH

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAN AND MAY LEAD TO DAMAGE TO YOUR SWITCH, VOID YOUR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, AND CAN LEAD TO DEATH.

OPERATING YOUR SWITCH

Make sure the Switch is fully charged before the first initial use. Before turning on your Switch, ride it like a normal kick scooter or skateboard to get comfortable with the Switch before using it with the motor.
When comfortable riding, power it on. For the motor to activate, you must first start riding and then push the throttle down.
To slow down the scooter, push the electric brake down. This will stop the motor and slow you down.
The Switch is equipped with a built-in 90 Watt Brushless Motor which allows you to accelerate (up to 9 mph) and decelerate.
To turn, use the handlebars or lean gently in the direction you wish to turn.
The Switch can be operated manually if you do not wish to use the motor.
As you get comfortable on the Switch, you will notice it becomes easier to maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is necessary to shift your weight to overcome the centrifugal force.
Bend your knees if you encounter bumps or uneven surfaces, then dismount and carry your Switch to a safe operating surface.

Do not turn sharply or at high speeds to avoid danger. Do not turn or ride quickly along slopes, as it may cause injury.

WEIGHT AND SPEED LIMITATIONS

Speed and weight limits are set for your own safety. Please do not exceed the limits listed here in the manual.

• Maximum Weight: 132 lbs
• Minimum Weight: 44 lbs
• Maximum Speed: Up to 9 mph (used as an e-scooter)

Overweight exertion on the Switch may increase possibility of injury or product damage.

OPERATING RANGE

The Switch can travel a distance up to 6 miles on a fully charged battery in ideal conditions. The following are some of the major factors that will affect the operating range of your Switch.

• Terrain: Riding distance is highest when riding on a smooth, flat surface. Riding uphill and/or on rough terrain will reduce distance significantly.
• Weight: A lighter user will have further range than a heavier user.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the Switch under recommended temperatures, which will increase driving distance; battery life, and overall performance of your Switch.
• Speed and Riding Style: Maintaining a moderate and consistent speed while riding produces maximum distance. Traveling at high speeds for extended periods, frequent starts and stops, idling and frequent acceleration or deceleration will decrease overall distance.

SAFETY ALERTS

While riding your Switch, if there is a system error or an illegal operation occurred, the Switch will prompt the User in a variety of ways.
The following are common occurrences where you will see Safety Alerts. These notices should not be ignored, but appropriate action should be taken to correct any illegal operation, failure or errors.

• Prohibited riding surfaces (uneven, too steep, unsafe, etc.)
• Battery voltage is too low.
• The Switch is still charging.
• Overheating, or motor temperature is too high.
• If the system enters protection mode, the alarm indicator will light up. This typically occurs when the battery is about to run out of power.
• If the motor is blocked, the Switch will stop after 3 seconds.
• When the battery level has depleted below protection mode, the Switch motor will power off after 15 seconds.

While sustaining a high discharge current during use (such as riding up a steep slope for a long period of time), the Switch motor will power off after 15 seconds.

CHARGING YOUR SWITCH

CHARGING THE SWITCH

• Ensure that the charging port is clean and dry.
• Make sure that there is no dust, debris or dirt inside the port.
• Plug the charger into a grounded wall outlet.
• Connect the cable with the power supply (100V ~ 240V; 50/60 Hz).
• Align and connect the 1-pin charging cable into the charging port of the Switch. DO NOT FORCE OR BEND THE CHARGING CABLE INTO THE CHARGING PORT, AS IT MAY CAUSE THE PRONGS TO BEND OR BREAK.
• The charging indicator light should change to RED, indicating that your Switch is now being charged.
• When the RED indicator light on your charger turns to GREEN, then your Switch is fully charged.
• A full charge may take up to 2.5 hours.
• After fully charging your Switch, unplug the charger from your Switch and from the power outlet.
