- Foot Placement: Do not put a single foot on the deck or on the ground while riding.
- Steering: Do not turn the handle substantially when riding.
- Passengers: Do not carry any passengers or children.
- Sudden Acceleration: Turn off power to prevent sudden acceleration.
- Downhill: Do not accelerate or stop abruptly downhill.
- Road Conditions: Slow down or get off if road conditions are bad; avoid obstacles.

- Obstacles: Avoid hitting door frames, elevators, and tall obstacles.
- Heavy Objects: Do not hang heavy objects (e.g., backpacks) on the handlebar.
- General Precautions: Wear protective equipment, inspect the scooter before riding, avoid rapid acceleration/deceleration, keep low speed when the charge is low, focus on personal safety, use both hands, avoid high temperatures for storage, comply with local traffic laws, pay attention to surroundings, maintain safe distance from others, reduce speed in bad light, do not go backwards, do not lend to inexperienced riders, do not ride when unhealthy or under influence, do not lift from the tire, and avoid contact with the disc brake rotor when spinning.
Maintenance Features
Cleaning and Storage:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the eScooter regularly with a damp cloth. Do not use high-pressure water guns, alcohol, gasoline, or corrosive chemical solvents.
- Drying: Dry in a ventilated place to prevent corrosion.
- Safety during Cleaning: Ensure the eScooter is shut down and the charging port cover is closed.
Battery Pack Maintenance:
- Read Instructions: Follow precautions on the battery label.
- Temperature: Store the battery pack at 0°C ~ 40°C. Avoid below -20°C or above 50°C.
- Performance: Battery range and performance degrade below 0°C.
- Dry Environment: Store in a dry, cool environment to prevent water damage.
- Charging: Avoid completely running out of batteries. Charge when the dashboard indicates 10%-20% remaining. Prolonged exhaustion affects capacity and life.

Common Failures & Treatment Methods:
The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues:
- No power output after startup: Check battery installation and charge the battery if insufficient voltage.
- Riding range decreases: Check for battery damage, worn tires, frequent braking, battery aging, or low environmental temperature. Solutions include replacing parts, developing good driving habits, and riding in room temperature.
- Battery not charging: Check if the charger is plugged in, if the battery temperature is too low or too hot. Solutions include checking the plug, waiting for the battery to reach the right temperature.
- Instrument no display: Check for power supply, damaged power converter, or dashboard malfunction. Solutions include checking battery connection, charging under negative pressure, or contacting after-sales service.
- Power supply and motor cannot start: Check if the brake is on or for dashboard key failure. Solutions include checking the brake and contacting after-sales service.
