Warning: When the icon lights up, it indicates that the scooter has detected errors. The number refers to the qty of errors.

Warning: Power off the scooter before assembly. The brake cable should not wrap around the stem.

1. Unfold the stem and close the quick-release lever until the folding latch reaches the bottom. Make sure the quick release lever is locked firmly when you push the quick release lever down without lifting folding latch.

2. Slide the handlebar and the wires into the stem with the headlight facing forward. Install the four screws in order with the 4 mm (5/32″) Allen wrench. (Tighten to 9 ± 1 N·m).

3. Lift the vehicle out of the box, place it on the ground, and unfold the kickstand.

An non-activated eKickScooter will keep beeping when turned on, and its speed is limited to 15 km/h (9.3 mph). Follow these steps:

1. Scan the QR code provided in the manual or on the scooter to download the Segway Mobility App to register or log in.

2. Charge the eKickScooter for three seconds to activate the battery. Power on the eKickScooter.

3. In the Segway Mobility App, scan the QR Code displayed on the dashboard or tap “Search vehicle” to pair with your eKickScooter.

4. Follow the instructions and watch the Riding Safety video within the app.

5. Tap to activate the eKickScooter in the app.

* When the scooter is activated, the speed mode is set to D mode by default.

You can customize the following features via the Segway Mobility App (*As different versions of App/firmware may vary, please refer to the actual vehicle):

• Light Effect

• Customize Mode Speed

• Locking Function (CodeLock/AirLock)

• Start Speed

• Traction Control System (TCS)

• Scheduled Charging

• Energy Recovery*

• Charging Limit

• Imperial/Metric System

Function Introduction: Set the “Energy Recovery” level in the “Segway Mobility” App: Off/Strong/Weak. By default, it’s set to “off.”

How it Works: Once Energy Recovery is enabled, releasing the throttle while riding automatically activates it. The motor produces reverse electromotive force, slowing the vehicle with a noticeable deceleration (similar to pulling the brake lever). “Strong” setting provides more evident deceleration than “Weak”.

Safety Tips:

• Practice in a secure environment first to familiarize yourself with its operation and effects.

• This feature adds deceleration resistance but complements, not replaces, standard braking. Always control the vehicle properly and maintain balance.

• Energy Recovery assists braking; it does not replace it. Use the brake lever to stop or slow down safely when needed.

• Use increased caution on downhill paths or in special conditions. Releasing the throttle on a decline might still result in acceleration due to gravity; Energy Recovery engages simultaneously, requiring careful balance.

• Energy Recovery does not engage in cruise control mode. Disengaging cruise control and releasing the throttle will initiate Energy Recovery (if enabled), causing a distinct speed reduction.

• Once enabled via the app, it remains active until manually turned off. It is not disabled by shutting down or running out of battery. The dashboard does not show Energy Recovery status; check and adjust (Off/Strong/Weak) in the App.

• Inform anyone borrowing the vehicle about the current Energy Recovery settings.

• Contact Technical Support if you have questions.

Enable / Disable CodeLock via Segway Mobility App (homepage >> More Functions >> Locking Function), choosing Digital or Pattern CodeLock.

Digital CodeLock:

1. Enable Digital CodeLock via the App. Set a four-digit password (e.g., 1234).

2. To unlock, press the Power Button. Use the Mode Switching Button (decreases number by 1) and Power Button (increases number by 1) to enter each digit.

3. Squeeze any brake lever or press the Custom Button to confirm each digit entered.

2. To unlock, press the Power Button. Use the up, down, left, and right directional buttons to enter the password.

3. Each time a direction button is entered, the button flashes once, the corresponding direction displays on the dashboard, and the buzzer emits a short beep.

4. After successfully entering the pattern password, the buzzer will sound two short beeps, and the vehicle powers on.

Note on Incorrect Entries: You can enter the digital/pattern password up to 3 times. After 3 wrong entries, the screen automatically powers off. Try powering on again for a fourth attempt. Entering the wrong password again triggers an alert.

Enable/Disable AirLock via Segway Mobility App (homepage >> More Functions >> Locking Function).

1. First, set a digital or pattern unlocking passcode via the App.

After setting, if the vehicle detects abnormal movement while powered off:

• The buzzer will sound an alert for 5 seconds (a short alert every 0.5 seconds).

• The driving wheel will be locked.

• The alert stops if there’s no abnormal movement after 5 seconds OR if all lights flash with the alert for 5 seconds.

• If abnormal movement continues, the alert will persist.

Warning: it is your legal duty to comply with your local traffic law and regulations when using this product. In the Unites States, in certain States, an electric kickscooter is not allowed to be used on public road (i.e., “on-road” ), if its maximum speed capacity, weight and/or other features do not comply with the mandatory requirements imposed by law. With respect to maximum speed capacity restriction, certain States require that an electric kickscooters’ maximum speed capacity shall be capped at / limited to a specific miles per hour if it is for on-road use, and the cap / limit varies in different States. By way of examples, the States that impose such maximum speed capacity restriction include New York, Florida, Arizona, New Jersey etc.

In the event you intend to use this product on-road in a State that imposes such maximum speed capacity restriction, you MUST select a proper lower speed mode of this Product to assure that the product’s maximum speed capacity under such speed mode complies with the law. In the event the maximum speed capacity of the lowest speed mode of this product nevertheless exceeds the maximum speed capacity restriction imposed by a State for on-road use, you shall not use this product on-road in that State. Furthermore, a State may have other law regulating on-road use of this product, such as maximum speed requirement and/or helmet requirement. In addition to State law, there may be further restrictions or prohibition on use of electric kickscooters by local law and/or regulations. For off-road use of this product, there may be other restrictions and/or limitations imposed by the property owner or others. The App of the product may provide additional useful information related to this matter.
