See below pilot requirements*

E-Scooter Safety

• Ride Alone
• Keep a reasonable speed and always stay under the legal speed limit
• Look ahead and keep your eyes on the road
• Keep both hands on the handlebar at all times!
• Always wear a helmet when riding
• Use lights and use a bell or audible warning device; be seen and heard
• Always slow down before a turn.
• Tune up your E-Scooter often. 
• Never ride a malfunctioning Scooter.
• Be aware of pedestrians, cyclists and others
• Always maintain a safe distance while riding
• Ride only where you are allowed to, and never on the sidewalk.

E-Scooter maintenance tips 

See our post on maintenance here.

• Inflate your tires often to the recommended pressure :
• Less flat tires
• More Range
• Safer Rides
• Tighten all the bolts or give us your E-Scooter for a Tune up every 500km or two months
• Save on the long run
• Better riding Experience
• Safer rides

• Avoid moisture at all costs. Extended use in the rain is not recommended.   Always dry off your E-Scooter after a wet ride.
• Check for strange sounds and play where there shouldn’t be.  If you can identify the issue, address it before going for a ride or take it to a service provider to have it addressed.
• Make sure your brakes are working well.  It is recommended that you have our brakes inspected for brake pad wear and possible replacement every 1,000km of riding.

E-Scooter Components

An E-Scooter is composed of the following components:

• Motor
• Battery
• Harnesses
• Display / Speedometer
• Controller
  
• Throttle
• Suspension (some models)
• Kick-stand

E-Scooter usage

• Select your speed mode according to your desired level of effort and speed.
• E-Scooters are fast, so please respect other slower riders around.
• Always push on startups to avoid too much stress to the electrical component and motor. 
• Un-tuned E-Scooters wear down faster

Battery Facts

• Store it at 50-70% charge in a cool dry place.
• Don’t expose batteries to extreme heat or cold.
• Charge in between 20% to 80%, don’t discharge under 20%.  Do not charge if your battery is at or above 80% charged.
• An E-Scooter Battery will last between 3 to 6 years depending on usage or 500 charge cycles.
• Avoid leaving your battery charging overnight. Make sure to disconnect the charger from the battery and the wiring after loading it with electricity.

Power / Range / Volt.

Volt X Ah = Wh.

Ex : 36Vx15Ah= 540Wh.

1 miles every 20Wh (1.6km).

This battery will give an average range of 27 miles / 44km.
