Riding
1. Make sure that all of the exposed bolts and screws are tightened.
2. Raise the kickstand to its upright position.
3. Push the on/off switch (located on the left side of the scooter frame under the footplate)
to the ON position.
4. Put one foot on the deck of the EW-280 while pushing off with the other foot, gently
rotate the THROTTLE GRIP, on the right side of the handlebars. The EW-280 will
begin to move on its own power.
**Your scooter has a variable speed hand throttle. You can control the speed of your
scooter by the amount of pressure you use when rotating the hand throttle. The more
you rotate, the faster you will go.
Stopping/Braking
1. To brake, release the THROTTLE GRIP and depress the BRAKE LEVER (on the left
side of the handlebars. Depressing the brake will disengage power to the motor.
When the unit feels like it is loosing power or not accelerating to full speed, the scooter
is ready to be re-charged.
FOLDING & STORAGE
When you are done riding the EW-280 you can fold it down for compact storage and
transportation. To fold down the EW-280, first detach the left & right handlebar grips and
lower the t-bar. (See Assembly on page 7 for more information) Next, use one hand to
push down on the folding handle while gently pushing down on the handlebars. BE
CAREFUL NOT TO HIT YOUR HEAD WITH THE HANDLEBAR.
Push down until you
feel the mechanism lock into the down position.
BRAKING SYSTEM
The EW-280 uses a hub brake system on the rear wheel. A hand brake lever
on the left side of the handlebar activates the brakes. Squeezing the hand
brake lever with your left hand will activate the rear brake. Make sure to
release the HAND THROTTLE GRIP when engaging the brakes.
Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking
system. Braking distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven
riding surfaces.
