Beforeridingforthersttime
We recommend that you always wear a helmet, sturdy footwear and suitable protective
equipment. Always ride carefully and responsibly and pay attention to other people around
you.
For your rst ride, we recommend that you nd a clear, even surface where there is no or
very little trafc. Test all the functions, particularly the brakes, to make sure that you can
bring the scooter to a halt safely and can also operate the brakes safely in an emergency.
Start with the lowest riding mode and increase it when you feel safe and condent. Take
a little time to do this.
The throttle can be very sensitive in the highest riding mode. Be aware that rapid or abrupt
operation may unbalance you. Take things slowly and familiarise yourself with all of the
scooter’s functions and riding modes.
Check the air pressure of the front and rear tyres before each ride, but in particular before
your rst ride. The pressure should be between 2.2 and 3.0 bar. If the air pressure is too low,
the tyres have greater friction, which leads to a shorter range.
Shift your weight forwards slightly when accelerating and shift it backwards slightly when
braking. This is key to condent riding.
Before starting your ride, check that all screws and the folding mechanism are secure.
The folding mechanism must be fully locked and must not have any play. Loose screws and/
or a folding mechanism that is not locked in place can cause serious accidents and injury.
Before each ride, make sure that the side stand is fully folded in, the tyres and brakes are in
a good condition and the tyres are pumped up with the correct air pressure.
To ensure good grip and safe riding, avoid the following surfaces:
• Sand and gravel • Slippery surfaces
• Curbs and potholes • Wet surfaces
• Ice and snow • Loose surfaces
• Mud and rain • Slopes and steep roads
