6.1 Battery charging
Before using the kickscooter for the first time, the battery must be charged for a few hours, using
the battery charger supplied. Recharging can be done with the battery inserted or by removing it
from the column, as reported in paragraph 4.8 of this guide.
6.2 Removing the battery
The scooter is powered by a 36V battery to provide power to the electric motor. The battery can be
recharged while remaining inside its seat or alternatively it can be removed from the kickscooter and
recharged and then placed back inside the kickscooter.
To remove the battery from the kickscooter, please proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the kickscooter;
2. Lift the smartphone holder cover;
3. Push down and at the same time rotate the battery lock by 90 °;
4. Remove the battery by pulling it upwards.
To charge the battery when it has been removed from the kickscooter, insert the charging plug into
the appropriate charging socket located at the bottom of the battery.
The charge duration depends on the conditions of use (type of surface, slope, driver's weight, type
of driving and route), under normal conditions of use the kickscooter has an autonomy equal to the
distance indicated in the attached technical sheet.
The recharging operation can be carried out within a well-ventilated area.
The charger will indicate the status of the charging operation: red (charging), green (full charged).
Once the battery has been recharged, remove the charger.
6.3 Preliminary functional checks
Before each use, the driver must make sure of the safety status of the kickscooter. Therefore,
perform the following inspections before driving.
6.3.1 Drive devices
Check the efficiency of the devices and the charging status of the battery. The use in a very cold
environment quickly degrades the efficiency of the battery.
6.3.2 Wheels
Check the state of wear of the tires: there must be no cuts, cracks, abnormal swelling, lack of parts
and other damage.
