Riding

Unlocking and setting off

1. Hold the keycard onto the card symbol to the left of the display for about a second. The status LED on the right side lights up yellow, then briefly green. The scooter is now in park mode.
2. Push the handlebar to the left stop. The steering lock detects the position and disengages with an audible click. As long as the scooter is in park mode or drive mode, you can repeat this any time if it doesn't catch on the first try.
3. Fold the side stand in. The (P) symbol below the speedometer disappears, the scooter switches to drive mode, and you can apply throttle.

You can release the steering lock by pushing left whenever the scooter is on. See Changes from scooterOS and Smart steering lock.

Controls on the handlebar

The front brake is the right lever and the rear brake is the left one. The left side also carries the indicator slider and the seatbox switch, the horn sits on the right.

In park mode the brake levers also drive a few menu functions: the menu opens with two short pulls on the left lever, the version box appears when you hold both brakes for three seconds, and a longer hold initiates hibernation. The details are on States and The display.

While you're riding

In drive mode, the display shows the speedometer in the middle with your current speed. The energy gauge below it has REGEN on the left, DISCHARGE on the right, and the current power value in kW. The bar moves right when you accelerate and left when you coast or brake; the scooter then recuperates energy back into the battery.

If the scooter has a GPS fix, the street name and (when available) a speed-limit sign appear below the speedometer. With navigation active, an instruction strip with the next maneuver appears above the speedometer.

See The display for the icon legend and screen layout.

Stopping and parking

When you stop and fold out the side stand, the scooter switches to park mode automatically. The red (P) symbol appears in the telltale card at the bottom left of the display, indicating that the parking brake is engaged.

You can now use the seatbox switch to open the seat – to stash the helmet or swap a battery.

Powering down and locking

To power down:

1. Hold the keycard onto the card symbol again, until the LED lights green. The scooter starts shutting down.
2. Within about 60 seconds, push the handlebar all the way to the left stop. The steering lock catches in the locked position with an audible click.

Before you walk away, gently push the handlebar sideways to confirm it's actually locked.

If the alarm is enabled, it arms once the scooter reaches standby and then responds to movement and to the controls on the handlebar, among other triggers. Everyday use, settings, and notifications are described on Built-in alarm.

When something doesn't work

If the keycard doesn't react, the display stays black, or the steering lock is stuck, see Troubleshooting. For scooters that haven't been used in a while, also check States – the scooter may be in hibernation and need to be woken up first.
