GENERAL GUIDANCE 1. 2. 3. 4. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. GENERAL GUIDANCE 5. The EcoReco scooter is delivered fully assembled from the manufacturer. The battery is only partially charged on delivery. Charge the battery for at least 12 hours before first-time operation. For quality assurance, an EcoReco scooter has to go through several test rides and charging cycles. Therefore, the dashboard might display a few charging cycles and miles ridden at the date of receipt.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY AND CHARGER The battery in your EcoReco scooter is state-of-the-art rechargeable Lithium FerroPhosphate (LiFePO4, or Li-Iron). It is the most suitable material for vehicular use because it is significantly lighter and smaller, and provides a longer life than an outdated, toxic Sealed Lead Acid battery. It also is inherently safer and more environmentally friendly than a Li-Ion battery. CHARGING TIMES BATTERY Before first-time operation: Charge the battery for at least 12 hours.
INSPECTIONS AND REPAIRS Perform regular visual inspections of the cables and charger. Do not operate the charger if the charger or cables displays visible damages. Contact EcoReco to have them replaced if damaged in order to avoid further material damages and injuries. Do not carry out independent repairs on the battery, charger or cables. Contact EcoReco for your service needs. Charging safety tips: BATTERY Use only the original manufacturer battery, charger and cables supplied.
STORAGE Avoid storing the scooter under direct sunlight (even if it’s inside your car trunk) for a long period of time. The temperature of the scooter body and battery could reach higher than 110 degrees Fahrenheit, causing damage to the functionality and product lifetime of the battery. Avoid storing the scooter in wet environments. Batteries self-discharge slightly everyday even when not in use. Longer storage periods without charging incur irreparable damage (ie, deep discharge) to the battery.
DASHBOARD AND ACCELERATOR 1. Accelerator lever: The scooter is equipped with Safe-Start protection to limit unintended jerking; you must first “roll” the scooter manually for initial speed before the accelerator lever becomes activated. Place your finger(s) over the accelerator lever and push in as desired to accelerate. 2. Power button: Press for about 1 second to power on and about 3 seconds to power off.
BRAKE The brake lever for the rear wheel brake is on the left handlebar. To slow down or stop the scooter when it is powered on and moving, place your finger(s) over the brake lever and push in as desired to brake. As soon as the brake is activated, the accelerator lever on the right handlebar is deactivated. The drum brake on the rear wheel does not kick in until after the brake lever is fully pressed.
