Safety reminders:
Do not continue riding if the scooter does not cut motor power when braking.
Do not continue riding if the scooter keeps accelerating while braking.
Do not ride with motor resistance, visible wiring damage, smoke, burning smell, or water exposure.
Do not work on wiring while the scooter is powered on or charging.
Do not open sealed battery components.
Do not force connectors together.
Stop and contact support if unsure.
Brake Lever Does Not Cut Motor Power
This means the scooter may not be detecting the brake lever correctly.
Possible causes:
Brake lever issue
Loose wiring
Multifunction switch main cable issue
Display main cable issue
Step 1 – Lift the scooter safely
Lift the scooter so both wheels are off the ground.
Turn the display on.
Press and hold the left brake lever.
Check whether an exclamation mark ! appears on the display.
If yes
The left brake signal is being detected.
Continue to Step 2.
If no
The left brake signal may not be reaching the scooter.
This next step requires further inspection. Please contact support with a video showing the left brake lever being pressed and the display not showing the brake symbol.
Step 2 – Test the right brake lever
Keep the scooter lifted with both wheels off the ground.
Press and hold the right brake lever.
Check whether an exclamation mark ! appears on the display.
If yes
The right brake signal is being detected.
If the scooter still does not cut motor power when braking, contact support with a video of the issue.
If no
The right brake signal may not be reaching the scooter.
This next step requires further inspection. Please contact support with a video showing the right brake lever being pressed and the display not showing the brake symbol.
Scooter Keeps Accelerating When Braking
This is a serious drive system fault. Do not continue riding.
Possible causes:
Wiring connection issue
Controller issue
Step 1 – Lift the scooter safely
Lift the scooter so both wheels are off the ground.
Turn the display on.
Carefully apply throttle, then press either brake lever.
If the rear motor has electronic braking but the front motor keeps accelerating
Do not ride the scooter.
This next step requires further inspection of the front drive wiring and B controller. Please contact support with a video of the test.
If the front motor has electronic braking but the rear motor keeps accelerating
Do not ride the scooter.
This next step requires further inspection of the rear drive wiring and A controller. Please contact support with a video of the test.
One Motor Does Not Turn and Has Resistance
This means one motor is not spinning normally and has resistance when turned by hand.
Possible causes:
Motor issue
Controller issue
Internal phase wire issue
Step 1 – Stop riding
Turn the scooter off.
Do not ride the scooter with motor resistance.
Step 2 – Check which motor has resistance
Carefully rotate the front and rear wheels by hand.
If the rear motor turns normally but the front motor does not turn and has resistance
This next step requires further inspection of the front motor and B controller. Please contact support with a video showing the front wheel resistance.
If the front motor turns normally but the rear motor does not turn and has resistance
This next step requires further inspection of the rear motor and A controller. Please contact support with a video showing the rear wheel resistance.
Scooter Powers On, But Front and Rear Motors Do Not Turn
This means the display powers on, but the scooter does not drive when the throttle is pressed.
Possible causes:
Fault code on the display
Loose connector
Bent waterproof connector pins
Display issue
Throttle signal issue
Main cable issue
A controller issue
Step 1 – Check for an error code
Turn the scooter on and check the display.
If an error code is showing
Troubleshoot the error code first.
If no error code is showing
Continue to Step 2.
Step 2 – Check visible connectors
Turn the scooter off.
Check any safely visible waterproof connectors for:
Loose plugs
Bent copper pins
Dirt or corrosion
Visible damage
If a connector is loose
Reconnect it carefully without forcing it, then test again.
If a connector is damaged or pins are bent
Do not force it together. Contact support with clear photos.
If the connectors look normal and the issue remains
This next step requires further inspection of the display, throttle signal, main cable, and A controller. Please contact support with the photos/videos listed below.
Rear Wheel Turns But Front Wheel Does Not Turn
This means the rear motor works, but the front motor does not drive.
Possible causes:
Front motor resistance
Single/dual drive switch wiring issue
B controller issue
Front motor issue
Step 1 – Check for front motor resistance
Turn the scooter off.
Rotate the front wheel by hand.
If the front wheel has resistance
Do not ride the scooter.
Go to One Motor Does Not Turn and Has Resistance.
If the front wheel does not have resistance
Continue to Step 2.
Step 2 – Check whether the front motor still does not engage
Turn the scooter on.
With the scooter safely lifted, apply throttle carefully and check whether the front motor turns.
If the front motor starts working
Monitor the scooter.
If the rear motor turns but the front motor still does not turn
This next step requires further inspection of the single/dual drive switch wiring, B controller, and front motor. Please contact support with a video showing the rear wheel turning and the front wheel not turning.
Battery Drains Quickly or Range Is Very Low
This means the battery may show full charge quickly, then lose charge after a short ride.
Possible causes:
Charger issue
Battery issue
Step 1 – Check charger behaviour
Charge the scooter and note the charger light behaviour.
If the charger light does not behave normally
Contact support with a video of the charger light.
