Usage Features:

The Aviator features handlebars (left and right), an LCD display, an electric brake, a power/function button, a charging port, and a throttle. It also includes a release lever, an aluminum frame, an LED light, a kickstand, a foot pad, and a mechanical brake.

The LCD display shows the current speed in Mph and the current speed level (P1 for low speed mode, P2 for high speed mode). In low speed mode, the max speed is 9mph, and in high speed mode, it's 15mph. A headlight icon indicates when the headlight is activated, and a cruise control icon indicates when cruise control is active. The battery indicator displays the current battery life.

To power on, press and hold the power/function button for 3 seconds. Once the display is on, press the button twice to turn headlights on or off.

To activate high speed mode, ensure the Aviator is powered on and not in motion, then press the power button once. The high speed mode indicator will light up.

Cruise control can be activated by pressing the throttle twice while maintaining a constant speed above 3 mph. A beep will sound, and the cruise control indicator will light up on the LCD display.

To ride, first get comfortable with the scooter as a normal kick scooter. Once comfortable, power it on. The motor activates when you start riding and push the throttle down with your thumb. To slow down, push the electric brake down, which stops the motor. The mechanical brake can also be applied with your foot. Turning is achieved by using the handlebar. The scooter can be operated manually without the motor.
