- Starting: Press the power button to turn on. The default speed is gear level 1. The motor starts only when the scooter's speed is above 0. To start, place one foot on the pedal, kick scoot with the other foot, and then smoothly use the acceleration handle once in motion.
- During Ride: Adjust gear level (1 to 3) as needed. Use lights and horn according to road conditions. Cruise control activates when the acceleration handle is pressed with the same pressure for 8 seconds. Be aware of sudden obstacles and control speed.
