- Page 15 PARKING ECOPED PULSE You can park Ecoped Pulse almost anywhere that traditional bicycles are allowed. Pulse includes a few safety features to protect against theft.

- Page 16 Engaging the Front Wheel Lock Turn ignition to the OFF position. Turn the front wheel to the left and maintain it in that position. Push the key into the ignition and turn counter-clockwise to the LOCK position. Using the Flick Stand Ensure that the steering lock is engaged with the front wheel turned to the left.
- Page 17 USING THE REAR WHEEL LOCK The rear-wheel lock is designed to provide additional security when Ecoped Pulse is parked in a public area. When engaged, it blocks the rear wheel from rotating and makes the scooter impossible to ride away with. We recommend using this feature when parked outside for long periods of time.

Page 18: Removing The Battery
BATTERY MAINTENANCE The Ecoped Pulse battery is designed to last for at least 500 recharge cycles. Long-term battery performance will vary depending on how often you ride your scooter, how often you recharge it, and the outside temperature during use. - Page 19 HOW TO EXTEND BATTERY LIFE Make the most of each charge! Travel as far as possible to use as much of the charge as you can before recharging. The battery will “learn” to charge fully instead of getting used to smaller charges.

- Page 20 (which means that you don’t need to remove the battery) and separate from the scooter. You should not use a diff erent charger than the one supplied with your Ecoped Pulse. As well, avoid charging the battery in areas with lots of dust.
- Page 21 Charging Separately from the Scooter Follow the battery removal procedure on page 18. Place the battery near a wall outlet and in a well-ventilated area Connect the charger to the wall outlet. Connect the charging cable to the port located below the top lip on the battery (see sticker on battery case).
- Page 22 FOLDING THE PEDALS The pedals on Ecoped Pulse fold away to prevent damage to other bikes when parked. Remember to unfold the pedals before riding your scooter. Riding without any pedals installed may be prohibited by your provincial or municipal legislation.
- Page 23 BRAKE ADJUSTMENT Ecoped Pulse (like all other bicycles) requires monthly brake adjustments. Before riding your scooter for the fi rst time, make sure to adjust the brakes as they may have loosened during transport. “Left” and “Right” orientations are determined by the position of the rider when seated on Ecoped Pulse.
- Page 24 Adjusting the Rear Brakes (Right-Side Brake Lever) Ensure that the scooter is safely parked using the double kickstand (see page 15). Using a 10mm wrench, loosen the bolt on the rear brake cable. Gently pull the brake adjuster toward the centre of the scooter (you may need to hold the brake cable to increase tension).
