RIDING YOUR GAMBIT SCOOTERFAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAN AND MAY LEAD TO DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, VOID YOUR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, AND CAN LEAD TO DEATH.OPERATING YOUR DEVICE Make sure the device is fully charged before the first initial use. Before turning on your Gambit scooter, ride it like a normal kick scooter to get comfortable with the device before using it with the motor. When comfortable riding the scooter, power it on. For the motor to activate, you must first start riding the scooter and then push the throttle down with your thumb. To slow down the scooter, push the electric brake down. This will stop the motor and slow you down. Also press the mechanical brake with your foot to manually slow down the scooter. To turn, use the handlebar to turn in the direction you wish to turn. The Gambit scooter can be operated manually if you do not wish to use the motor.As you get comfortable on the device, you will notice it becomes easier to maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is necessary to shift your weight to overcome the centrifugal force.Prepare to brace yourself if you encounter bumps or uneven surfaces, then dismount and carry your Gambit to a safe operating surface.WARNINGDo not turn sharply or at high speeds to avoid danger. Do not turn or ride quickly along slopes, as it may cause injury.21
WEIGHT AND SPEED LIMITATIONS Speed and weight limits are set for your own safety. Please do not exceed the limits listed in the “Specifications” section of this manual.WARNINGOverweight exertion on the device may increase possibility of injury or product damage.OPERATING RANGE The following are some of the major factors that will affect the operating range of your device.· Terrain: Riding distance is highest when riding on a smooth, flat surface. Riding uphill and/or on rough terrain will reduce distance significantly. · Weight: A lighter user will have further range than a heavier user. · Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the device under recommended temperatures, which will increase driving distance; battery life, and overall performance of your device. · Speed and Riding Style: Maintaining a moderate and consistent speed while riding produces maximum distance. Traveling at high speeds for extended periods, frequent starts and stops, idling and frequent acceleration or deceleration will decrease overall distance.*Do not attempt to stop suddenly as this may lead to injury or damage to your brake discs.WARNINGProper use of your brake is vital to ensure safe, efficient stopping. To avoid misuse and potential injury, do not apply sudden or excessive force to your brake. Apply the brake gradually and give yourself enough room to come to a complete stop safely.22
Please follow all local, state and federal laws in regards to recycling, handling and disposing of Lithium-ion Battery.WARNINGSEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IF YOU ARE EXPOSED TO ANY SUBSTANCE THAT IS EMITTED FROM THE BATTERY.SAFETY ALERTSWhile riding your Gambit Scooter, if there is a system error or illegal operation performed the device will prompt the user in a variety of ways.The following are common occurrences where you will see Safety Alerts. These notices should not be ignored, but appropriate action should be taken to correct any illegal operation, failure or errors.· Prohibited riding surfaces (uneven, too steep, unsafe, etc.) · Battery voltage is too low. · The device is still charging. · Overheating, or motor temperature is too high. · When the battery is about to run out of power, the battery icon will flash. · If any or both tires are blocked, the device will stop after 10 seconds. · When the battery level has depleted below protection mode, the device motor will power off after 15 seconds.While sustaining a high discharge current during use (such as riding up a steep slope for a long period of time), the device motor will power off after 15 seconds.23
