- The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles, whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully recharged again

- Explosion hazard – protect the battery against heat, for example, direct sunlight and fire. Do not store batteries in vehicles or locations subject to heat.

- Batteries can explode in the presence of an ignition source, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. Exploding batteries can propel debris and chemicals.

- Do not open the battery – danger of short-circuiting and/or explosion.

- Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble the battery pack or remove any of its components.

- Do not touch the battery terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short-circuit and/or personal injury may result.

- Explosion hazard – do not open and/or short-circuit the battery.

- Poison hazard – battery leakage (liquid ejection). Under extreme conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery – avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, immediately seek medical attention, and flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical attention, flush with clean water for at least 10 minutes. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

- Dispose of non-serviceable batteries in an environmentally responsible manner and according to local regulations.

Failure to adhere to the requirements above may result in the battery becoming inoperative or battery life being reduced. In extreme cases or abuse, battery overheating or fire may result.

DANGER - BATTERY CHARGING, USE AND STORAGE

Like mobile phones, laptops, cordless vacuum cleaners etc, this product may contain or be related to a lithium ion battery pack (lithium ion batteries and lithium ion battery related items only). Lithium ion batteries allow fast charging and high capacities, however care must be taken to reduce chances of a fault, and increase safety in case a fault occurs. Catastrophic incidents involving lithium ion batteries have a tendency to result in large amounts of smoke and fire. Be sure to follow the points below to reduce the likelihood of danger whenever you use, charge or store any lithium ion battery.

• Never charge a battery that has been damaged or subjected to a forceful impact.
• Never charge a battery that has been exposed to moisture or water.
• Never charge a battery with a charger that wasn't supplied with the battery.
• Never use a battery in a device that it wasn't specifically designed for.
• Never use a battery with a modified or damaged device.
• Never modify the battery, product, charger, circuitry or wiring.
• Never charge a battery in an exit path that may be used by people to leave a room or building in case of an emergency, for example, the hallway or foyer of a residence.
• Never charge a battery in an area or building that doesn't have the recommended number of working smoke detectors that have been tested in accordance with local guidelines.
• Never charge a battery when the battery or charger is displaying a problem or charging incorrectly.
• Always charge batteries on a non-combustible surface, for example, on a concrete floor.
• Always charge batteries at least 3m away from anything combustible, such as floors, wall surfaces, furniture, storage shelves etc.
• Always charge batteries in an open area (outside if possible) ensuring the battery and charger are away from moisture and water.
• Always disconnect batteries from the charger after charging.
• Always remove or disconnect batteries from the device/product when not in use.
• Always ensure batteries are charged under adult supervision. Do not charge unattended. Do not charge batteries while no one is home or while people are sleeping.
• Keep batteries away from heat and moisture.
• Damaged batteries should be disposed of through your local e-waste collection service.
• Avoid mixing and matching chargers. Unplug products when fully charged, and charge batteries in a cool, dry place away from combustible materials like beds, lounges, or carpet.
• During charging and use, check your lithium-ion batteries for overheating, signs of swelling, leaking, or venting gas. Immediately stop using your product if these signs are present.
• Allow batteries to cool after use and before charging.

Maintenance and Care

Never use alcohol, cleaner's naphtha, acetone, or other corrosive and volatile chemical solvents that are corrosive to surfaces. These substances can damage the bike's appearance and its exterior or interior structure. Never clean the Folding E-Scooter with a strong jet of water or high-pressure cleaner.

WARNING! Make sure the Folding E-Scooter is switched off and the charging socket cover is closed before cleaning, otherwise you may be exposed to the risk of electric shock or damage the Folding E-Scooter.

General Maintenance

• Before each ride, please make sure that all screws or lock lever and quick release clamps are tightened.
• Make sure the tire pressure is correct!
- Only use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning the Folding E-Scooter. Dirt that cannot be removed this way can be removed with plastic polish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions in this regard.
• Store your Folding E-Scooter in a dry and cool place.
- A well-maintained battery can still provide good performance even after many kilometres. Charge the battery after each ride and avoid operating the battery on "empty". Please note that the performance of the battery decreases continuously at low temperatures (see Using the Battery).

IMPORTANT!

Do not store the scooter outdoors. Exposing the Folding E-Scooter to sunlight or to hot or cold environments will accelerate ageing of the plastic surfaces, in particular, and reduce the battery life.

• Do not forget to turn off the Folding E-Scooter after each ride and to charge the battery. The cells will be irreparably damaged if the battery is over-discharged. Damage resulting from incorrect use is not covered by the warranty. Removing or opening the battery is not permitted.
  • Devices are not intended for use at elevations greater than 2000m above sea level.
• Prolonged Exposure to UV Rays, Rain and the Elements may damage the enclosure materials, store indoors when not in use.

WARNING - Risk of Fire - No User Serviceable Parts.

Adjusting the Brake Callipers

Check regularly to see whether the brake callipers of the two-disc brakes are properly adjusted. You will need the Allen key and a rubber band to adjust the brake callipers.

1. Slightly loosen the two-brake calliper mounting bolts until you can move the brake calliper.
2. Then fix the brake lever with the rubber band to centre the brake calliper.
3. Tighten brake calliper mounting bolts again. After removing the rubber band, check whether the wheel can be moved easily.

NOTE: The adjustment procedure is the same for both the front and rear brakes.

Tightening and Loosening the Brake Cables

1. To tighten or loosen a brake cable, you first need to loosen the lock nut on the brake lever in question.
2. Then turn the adjusting nut to tighten the brake cable (distance between the brake shoes and brake disc is reduced), or in the opposite direction to loosen it (distance between the brake shoes and brake disc increases).
3. After you have tightened the brake cable, tighten the lock nut again to fix the adjusting nut in place.

NOTE: The setting is correct if the brake shoes are a max 1mm distance from the brake disc.
