6 Before the First Ride
There are safety risks when learning to ride the S-Max. You must read the Safety Instructions
and follow the New Rider Tutorial in the App before your first ride.
For your safety, your S-Max is not activated at this time and will beep occasionally after Power
ON.
Until activated, the S-Max maintains a very low riding speed and steering sensitivity. Install the
App on your mobile device (with Bluetooth 4.1 or above), connect to the S-Max with
Bluetooth, and follow the App instructions to activate your S-Max and follow the training
procedures.
