Daily Use Reminders – Off-road Electric Scooter

1. Check Before First Use
Before your first ride, make sure the folding mechanism and handlebar assembly are fully secured. Loose parts may cause instability during riding.

2. Charge Before Riding
The battery is shipped with 75–85% charge. If stored too long, electrolyte may settle and ions may diffuse, causing reduced capacity or battery damage. Charge before use.

3. Check Tire Pressure
Regularly inflate tires. Recommended pressure is about 80% of the rated PSI to avoid over-inflation or under-inflation, both of which can damage tires.

4. Auto Power-Off
The scooter will automatically shut down after 15 minutes of inactivity to save power.

5. Incorrect Charger Voltage Can Be Dangerous
Using the wrong charger may cause:
a) Undervoltage – charging fails
b) Overvoltage – may lead to overheating or explosion

Example: For a 48V battery (13 cells, 3.6V each), use a 54.6V charger (13×4.2V). A 42V charger (10×4.2V) is not compatible.

6. Charging Time ≈ Battery Capacity / Charging Current × 0.8
Estimate your charging time using this formula.

7. Green Light ≠ Fully Charged
If the charging current drops below 200mA, the charger may show a green light even though the battery isn’t 100% full yet.

8. Keep Charging Port Clean
Foreign objects in the charging port can cause short circuits or sparks. Always clean before plugging in.

9. Estimate Minimum Range (Approx.):

BatteryCapacity÷ControllerLimitCurrent×MaxSpeed×0.8Battery Capacity ÷ Controller Limit Current × Max Speed × 0.8

(Assumes 80% of the ride is at top speed)

10. Braking Cuts Off Power
There are two types of power cut-off during braking:
a) Motor freewheeling (no resistance)
b) Motor resistance (regenerative or damped braking)

11. Brake & Component Wear Over Time
Brakes and other mechanical parts may loosen or wear out with time. Perform regular inspection and adjustments.

12. Rust Prevention
Iron components or screws may rust due to rain or damaged anti-rust coating. Use anti-rust spray periodically for maintenance.

Storage Precautions – Off-road Electric Scooter

1. Water Resistance Reminder
Your scooter is rated IPX4 – protected against splashing water from any direction for 10 minutes.
👉 Avoid riding in heavy rain or through deep water for extended periods to prevent damage.

2. Proper Storage Environment

  • Store in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight, heat, or moisture.

  • Keep the scooter elevated to prevent tire deformation from prolonged pressure on the ground.

3. Long-Term Storage – Battery Maintenance
If you won’t be using the scooter for an extended time:

  • Charge the battery to 50–80% before storage.

  • Recharge at least once every 2 months to prevent battery damage.

🔋 Battery-related issues to watch for:

  • a) Excessive Self-Discharge:
    Over time, unused batteries lose charge naturally. If left fully drained, the battery may sulfate, increasing internal resistance and preventing charging.

  • b) Delayed Charging After Full Discharge:
    After riding until empty, charge promptly. If left too long, battery voltage may drop too low, and most modern chargers will refuse to charge due to low voltage protection.

  • c) Battery Aging or Damage:
    All batteries degrade over time. Aging may cause internal crystallization, short circuits, or charge failure.

  • d) Poor Electrical Connection:
    Charging issues can result from oxidized or loose battery connectors. Check plugs and wiring if charging fails.

Operation & Daily Maintenance – Off-road Electric Scooter

🛑 Brake Maintenance

If you experience brake failure or unusual noises, inspect the following based on the brake type:

  • Disc Brakes

    • Check if the brake disc is bent

    • Inspect brake pads (wear level)

    • Make sure the brake cable is tight and responsive

  • Drum Brakes

    • Check brake shoe wear

    • Regularly clean dust inside the drum housing

  • Hydraulic Brakes (Oil Brakes)

    • Inspect pads, discs, adjustment screws, and brake cables

    • Perform oil refill and air bleeding if braking is weak (requires time & specialized tools)


🛞 Tire Maintenance

  • Regularly check tire pressure, especially for air-filled tires

  • Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance, reduce range, and cause faster wear

  • Inflate tires to the recommended PSI listed on the sidewall


🚲 Frame & Body Maintenance

  • Check all frame screws and bolts, especially around the folding mechanism and handlebar joints

  • Use lubricant regularly on:

    • Bearings

    • Folding joints

    • Other rotating or movable parts

  • DO NOT use high-pressure water for cleaning

  • After riding in rain, wipe down the scooter to prevent rust and wear


🔋 Battery Replacement

  • Always match the voltage specifications (e.g., replace a 48V10Ah battery with a 48V15Ah)

  • After replacing the battery, some spark discharge may occur at the connector

    • To avoid this, press the power button before connecting the battery


⚡ Replacement of Electronic Components

  • Be careful with pin connectors during replacement

  • Do not force or misalign connectors to avoid bending or breaking the pins

  • Double-check wiring before powering on

Other Common Issues & Solutions – Off-road Electric Scooter

🔌 Charging But Won’t Power On / Shuts Down While Riding / APP Not Connecting / Can’t Accelerate

1. Device can’t be powered on/off during charging
While charging, the battery automatically disables output, so power buttons will not function. Unplug the charger and try powering on again.

2. Auto shut-down during riding
Voltage may dip under heavy load or steep climbs, especially when battery is low. This may trigger battery protection mode. Simply recharge the battery to recover.

3. APP not connecting
Try restoring factory settings to re-enable Bluetooth pairing:

(Throttle + Brake + Press power button 8 times)

4. No acceleration when powered on
Check if scooter is set to non-zero start mode or if brake lever is engaged. In either case, throttle will not respond until scooter is pushed forward slightly and brake is released.


🔋 Short Range / Weak Power / Motor Overheating / Can't Reach Top Speed

1. Real-world range varies by conditions
Factors like road surface, rider weight, speed, and weather will affect range.

(Test conditions: 70kg rider, constant 15 km/h on flat road)

2. Power limitations on commuter models
Lightweight commuter scooters may struggle on hills under heavy load. Recommend pushing the scooter manually on steep slopes.

3. Motor overheating
High sustained current over time may cause motor temperature to spike. To protect the system, a temperature protection limit is in place. Overheating may temporarily reduce power or shut down motor.

4. Power output vs battery level
To achieve maximum speed and torque, it's recommended to keep battery above 80%. Also note:

Regulations allow up to ±10% tolerance in top speed.


🛠️ Brake Noise / Ineffective Braking / Tire Damage / Loose Stem

1. Brake misalignment after delivery
Transportation may shift the brake caliper slightly. Adjust the disc brake screws to realign.

2. Brake not working well
Braking depends on pad pressure against the disc. You may need to tighten the brake cable or replace worn pads.

3. Tire inflation & risk of blowout
Inflate tires to 80% of the rated PSI as shown on the tire. Over- or under-inflation may cause tire damage or blowouts.

4. Loose stem after riding
Bumpy terrain or prolonged riding may loosen some bolts. If the stem wobbles, tighten the locking screws on the folding mechanism and handlebar assembly.
