The Gyrocopters Flash 3.0 is a personal electric folding scooter designed for urban transportation. It emphasizes safety, ease of use, and portability, with a strong focus on rider awareness and proper maintenance.
The Flash 3.0 functions as a personal transporter, providing an efficient and convenient way to travel. It is equipped with a motor that activates after the rider initiates movement by kicking off and then pushing the Foot-Pad Throttle. The scooter features a disk brake system, activated by a pressure-sensitive handle, allowing for gradual and safe stopping. It also includes a high-speed mode for faster travel and a cruise control function for maintaining a constant speed, enhancing the riding experience. The scooter is designed to be foldable, making it easy to store and transport when not in use. An integrated LCD display provides essential information such as current speed, speed mode, headlight status, and battery level, keeping the rider informed during operation.
Safety is paramount when using the Flash 3.0. Riders are strongly advised to wear a properly fitted helmet that complies with CPSC or CE safety standards to protect against serious injury or death. Before each ride, a pre-ride checklist should be followed to ensure the scooter is in proper working order, including checking the battery charge and the functionality of all parts. Riders should practice using the scooter at slower speeds in a flat, open area to become comfortable with its controls before riding in public.
The Flash 3.0 is designed for use on flat and even paved surfaces. It is not recommended for off-road use, riding over debris or obstacles, or in adverse weather conditions such as snow, rain, hail, or on icy roads. When encountering uneven pavement, riders should lift the scooter over the obstruction. Defensive riding is encouraged, including obeying all local traffic laws, riding with traffic, giving pedestrians the right-of-way, and being aware of surroundings. Riders should slow down at street intersections and look left and right before crossing.
For enhanced safety in low-visibility conditions (fog, dusk, or night), the LED light should be turned on, and riders should wear bright, reflective clothing. The scooter is not equipped with reflectors, so extra caution is necessary in such environments. It is intended for use by a single individual, and carrying anything while riding is not recommended. Users should avoid operating the scooter while talking, texting, or looking at a phone, as this can impair judgment and control. Pregnant women, young children, the elderly, and individuals with medical conditions affecting balance or physical capabilities should not operate the Flash 3.0.
The folding mechanism allows for easy storage and portability. To unfold, the rider presses down on the folding clip and pulls the steering column up, securing it with the safety lock until a "click" is heard. When folding, care must be taken to avoid pinch points, which are highlighted as areas where injury may occur if hands are not kept clear.
The high-speed mode can be activated by pressing the power button twice when the scooter is powered on and not in motion. Cruise control is engaged by holding the throttle at a constant speed above 3 mph for 5 seconds, indicated by a beep and a light on the LCD display.
Proper care and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the Flash 3.0. The device should be kept away from heat sources, direct sunlight, humidity, water, and other liquids to prevent damage to internal circuitry. Abrasive cleaning solvents should not be used. The scooter should not be exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, as this can shorten battery life, damage electronic components, and distort plastic parts.
The lithium-ion battery, which is built into the device, requires specific care. It should be charged at least once a month to prevent it from becoming unrevivable. Only the supplied charger and charging cable should be used. The charging port must be clean and dry, free of dust or debris, before connecting the charger. The charging cable should not be forced or bent to avoid damaging the prongs. The charging indicator light on the charger turns RED during charging and GREEN when fully charged. Once fully charged, the charger should be unplugged from both the scooter and the power outlet.
The battery should never be placed near fire or in direct sunlight, as this can cause overheating, rupture, or ignition. If the battery does not recharge within the specified time, charging should be discontinued immediately. Users are advised to recycle or dispose of lithium-ion batteries properly, following local, state, and federal laws, as they are considered hazardous materials. If exposed to any substance emitted from the battery, immediate medical assistance should be sought.
Users should not attempt to modify, change, or replace the battery, nor should they open the battery or insert anything into it. If the battery emits odor, overheats, or leaks, the device should not be used, and any leaking materials or fumes should not be touched or breathed. Children and animals should be kept away from the battery.
The scooter should be stored in a dry, ventilated environment when not in use. Prolonged exposure to UV rays, rain, and the elements can damage the enclosure materials, so indoor storage is recommended. The device should not be dropped from high places, as this can damage internal circuitry. Disassembling the device is not recommended and will void the warranty. Regular inspection of the entire device before each ride is important to ensure all parts are functioning correctly and to address any problems promptly.
