Pre - ride Inspection
Scooter: Check the body for cracks or deformations. Ensure handlebars, pedals, and brackets are firmly fixed—loose parts can lead to loss of control.
Tires: Check that tire pressure matches the recommended level. Look for embedded stones, excessive wear, or bulges, which affect safety and performance.
Brakes: Test brake responsiveness by squeezing the lever. The brake should engage smoothly without excessive travel; adjust if it feels too loose or tight.
Battery: Check the dashboard to confirm enough charge for your planned ride. Low battery can cause sudden shutdowns mid - trip.
Lights/trumpet: Make sure headlights (for dark conditions), taillights, and trumpet work—they help you see and be seen by others.
Riding Gear
Helmet: Wear a properly fitted helmet that covers your head securely. Choose one with safety certifications (like CE or CPSC) for reliable protection.
Protectors: Elbow and knee pads shield joints during falls, while gloves improve grip on handlebars and protect hands.
Clothing: Opt for snug, flexible clothes to avoid getting caught in parts. Bright colors boost visibility, especially in low light.
Riding Skills
Start: Stand with feet on either side of the pedal, keeping balanced. Turn on the power and accelerate slowly to avoid sudden jerks.
Speed Control: Accelerate gradually to maintain stability. When slowing down, release the throttle first, then brake gently to prevent skidding.
Turning: Lean your body with the scooter as you turn the handlebars. Use a wide enough radius, especially at speed, to stay balanced.
Distance: Keep at least 3 - 5 meters from other vehicles or pedestrians. Increase this gap in busy or slippery conditions for extra reaction time.
No Risks: Never ride with hands off the handlebars, use your phone, or enter motorways—these actions drastically raise accident risks.
Road Conditions
Flat: Stay alert for potholes, manholes, or debris. Maintain a steady speed but be ready to slow down if obstacles appear.
Bumpy: Slow down on gravel or uneven surfaces. Bend your knees slightly to absorb shocks and keep control.
Slopes: Accelerate a bit before uphill climbs to maintain momentum. When downhill, use brakes gently to control speed—avoid coasting.
Wet: Reduce speed on rainy or damp roads, as traction is lower. Avoid sudden brakes or sharp turns to prevent slipping.
Post - ride care
Clean: Wipe the body, handlebars, and pedals with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Rinse tires carefully, keeping water away from the motor and battery.
Check: Re - inspect for loose screws, worn brakes, or low tire pressure. Fix small issues promptly to avoid bigger problems later.
Battery: Charge when the remaining power is 20% - 30%. Unplug once full to prevent overcharging, which shortens battery life. If storing for long, charge periodically to keep it active.
