The GOTRAX VIBE Scooter is a commuting electric scooter designed for personal transportation. This user manual provides essential information for assembling, operating, and maintaining the scooter, emphasizing safety precautions and proper usage.
The GOTRAX VIBE Scooter is an electric personal mobility device intended for commuting and recreational use. It features a hub motor for propulsion and a console that displays key information such as speed in MPH, battery life, and headlight status. The scooter is designed to be user-friendly with an accelerator (throttle) for speed control and a brake (left thumb throttle) for slowing down or stopping. It also incorporates a folding system for convenient storage and portability. The scooter is powered by a rechargeable battery, and a dedicated charging unit is provided.
Before riding, users must fully charge the battery. The charging process involves opening a rubber charging port cover, inserting the charging plug, and observing the charger box's light indicators (green for fully charged, red for charging). Once charging is complete, the port cover should be closed to protect against dust and debris.
To power on the scooter, the user presses and holds the red button on the console for 1 second. To power it off, the red button is held for 5 seconds. The headlight can be toggled on or off by pressing the red button for 1 second while the scooter is powered on.
Riding the scooter requires placing one foot on the platform and using the other foot to push off the ground while simultaneously pressing the throttle button to initiate movement. To slow down or stop, the brake-throttle is pressed. For quicker stops, the rear fender foot brake can be used. The scooter performs optimally on smooth surfaces like carparks, roads, footpaths, and bike lanes.
The GOTRAX VIBE Scooter includes a cruise control feature. To activate it, the right-hand throttle is pressed down for 10 seconds. Cruise control can be deactivated by pressing either the right-hand throttle or the brake button. A crucial safety note regarding the left paddle control on the console is that it operates the motor's Electro-Magnetic brake. This brake's full effectiveness is achieved only after the motor has been in operation for 30 seconds, as it is energized by the motor's operation.
The scooter also features a folding mechanism for easy storage and transport. To fold, ensure the scooter is powered off. The user holds the tiller, pulls out the spring pin on the right folding panel, and rotates the spring pin counterclockwise. The hook on the tiller is then inserted into the loop on the rear fender buckle, indicating a successful fold with an audible click. To unfold, the rear fender is pressed, and the tiller is pulled up until the spring pin inserts itself into place within the folding lever, locking the mechanism.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are recommended to extend the scooter's lifespan. If the scooter becomes dirty, it should be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. It is crucial to avoid using alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, or other corrosive chemical solvents for cleaning, as these can severely damage the scooter's appearance and structure. Pressure washers should also be avoided due to the risk of damaging the electronics.
For brake adjustments or any service needs, users are advised to contact the customer service team. Attempting to repair the scooter independently can void the warranty and risk further damage.
Proper storage is essential for the scooter's longevity. When not in use, the scooter should be stored in a dry and cool location. Storing it outdoors is discouraged as sun exposure can damage its appearance and affect the battery and tires.
If the tiller feels loose or wiggles during riding, it can be tightened. This involves opening the plastic cover and using an Allen wrench to tighten the screws.
The manual also emphasizes the importance of using only the approved Gotrax power adapter for charging to prevent fire risks and equipment damage. Improper disposal of used batteries is highlighted as a serious environmental concern, with a recommendation to comply with local disposal regulations. Storage conditions for the scooter and power adapter should not exceed 122 degrees Fahrenheit or drop below -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The manual also warns against prolonged exposure to UV rays, rain, and other elements, advising indoor storage when not in use.
