The Mearth GTS Max Evo is a premium, high-performing electric scooter designed for adult use, originating from Australia. It is presented as one of Australia's most advanced adult electric scooters, offering an enjoyable and fun-filled riding experience. The device is intended for use only in Australia, and users are reminded to comply with local laws and regulations regarding its operation.
Function Description
The Mearth GTS Max Evo is an electric scooter designed for personal transportation. It features a dual motor function, which can be switched to a single motor function, providing versatility in power and speed. The scooter is equipped with an "eco-turbo" mode for extra power and speed, particularly useful in higher gears and dual motor function. An ignition key system is used to turn the scooter on and off, with a clockwise turn to activate and a counter-clockwise turn to deactivate.
The scooter's display, or HUD (Heads-Up Display), provides essential information to the rider, including gear selection, current speed (speedometer), total distance traveled (odometer), and battery percentage. It also features a trip meter and battery voltage display, accessible via the "on/off" button. For safety and visibility, the GTS Max Evo includes dual rear lights and dual front lights. The dual rear lights can be activated by pressing and holding the "MODE" button for 3 seconds until the rear light icon appears on the LCD. The front light is operated by a dedicated button located beside the horn button on the left side of the handlebar.
For convenience, the scooter is equipped with a USB port at the back of the LCD, allowing users to charge other devices while on the go. The scooter also features a gear shifter and a throttle for controlling speed.

Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance is essential for the longevity and performance of the Mearth GTS Max Evo.
Cleaning and Storage:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, wet cloth to clean the mainframe. Stubborn dirt can be scrubbed with a toothbrush and toothpaste, then wiped with a soft, wet cloth. Scratches on plastic parts can be polished with fine-grit abrasive paper.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use alcohol, gasoline, acetone, or other corrosive/volatile solvents, as these can damage the scooter's appearance and internal structure.
- No Power Washing: Do not wash the scooter with a power washer or hose.
- Preparation for Cleaning: Ensure the scooter is powered OFF, the charging cable is unplugged, and the rubber cap on the charge port is tightly sealed before cleaning to prevent damage to electronic components.
- Storage: Store the scooter in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it outdoors for extended periods, as exposure to sunlight and extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) can accelerate the aging of plastic components and reduce battery life.
Battery Pack Maintenance:
- Temperature: Do not store or charge the battery outside specified temperature limits.
- Puncture Prevention: Do not puncture the battery.
- Disposal: Refer to local laws and regulations for proper battery recycling and disposal.
- Charging Habits: Charge the battery after each ride and avoid completely draining it.
- Performance: Battery performance is optimal at room temperature (70°F / 22°C). Performance and range may decrease in colder temperatures (e.g., below 32°F / 0°C), but will recover as the temperature rises.
- Standby Charge: A fully charged battery typically retains charge for 120-180 days in standby mode, while a low-power battery retains charge for 30-60 days.
- Damage Warning: Completely draining the battery can cause permanent damage. Over-discharge or under-discharge damage is not covered by the Limited Warranty, as the battery's electronics record its charge-discharge condition.
- Temperature Limits: Do not ride the scooter outside the machine's preferred ambient temperature, as low or high temperatures can limit maximum power or torque and potentially cause personal injury.
