HOWTO USE YOUR E1
RIDING THE E1
SAFETY GEAR
Helmet Most serious injuries that occur while riding are head injuries. This could be prevented by
wearing a helmet.
Elbow and Knee Pads For added protection, always wear elbow and knee pads when riding
your E1, to prevent any serious injuries.
DRIVING TECHNIQUE
Foot Position - before riding put your foot as close as possible to the front section of the scooter,
and your other foot on the ground. Make sure that your driving route is clear.
To start riding, boost yourself forwards (as on non-motorized scooters) with your foot that is on
the ground. Please do not push the thumb throttle all the way down, get accustomed to the
acceleration of the throttle.
Immediately after boosting yourself forward, slowly press the thumb throttle downwards, tilt your
body forwards so you shouldn't fall backwards during acceleration. The E1 will be in motion.
Avoid putting your body pressure on the handlebars in acceleration and deceleration! Keep one
foot behind the other, (it's more comfortable to place one foot forward and the other one turned
backwards at 70-90°， like on skate/ surfboard). It will help you gain more stability.
NOTICE: Riding, like most sports, involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride the E1
the responsibility and all inherent risk is on you. It is crucial that you know, understand and act
according to safety rules.
Turns - The turns on the E1 are commanded by the direction you turn the handlebar/front wheel
in, and leaning your body in the direction you are turning. Before turning look at the approaching
direction and make sure turning is safe.
Braking - You have two options to brake: e-brake and foot brake. To use the e-brake, the E1 must
be powered on. Press the e-brake while on the scooter to make it stop (being careful not to press
too fast, as it may cause too sudden of a stop/jerking motion).
To use the foot brake, tilt your weight backwards so that the brake action will come through the
feet and not trough the handlebar and steering system. Lift your back foot and step down on the
back wheel cover. It is best to learn how to adjust your center of gravity when braking, otherwise,
you could fall forward.
