1 Riding Safety
- The KickScooter is a recreational product. Before mastering riding skills, you need to practice. Neither Ninebot Inc. (means Ninebot (Beijing) Tech Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries and affiliates) nor Segway Inc. is responsible for any injuries or damage caused by a rider’s inexperience or failure to follow the instructions in this document.
- Please understand that you can reduce the risk by following all the instructions and warnings in this manual, but you cannot eliminate all the risks. Remember that whenever you ride the KickScooter you risk injury from loss of control, collisions, and falls. When entering into public spaces always comply with the local laws and regulations. As with other vehicles, faster speeds require longer braking distance. Sudden braking on low traction surfaces could lead to wheel slip, or falls. Be cautious and always keep a safe distance between you and other people or vehicles when riding. Be alert and slow down when entering unfamiliar areas.
- Always wear a helmet when riding. Use an approved bicycle or skateboard helmet that fits properly with the chin strap in place, and provides protection for the back of your head.
- Do not attempt your first ride in any area where you might encounter children, pedestrians, pets, vehicles, bicycles, or other obstacles and potential hazards.
- Respect pedestrians by always yielding the right of way. Pass on the left whenever possible. When approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the right and slow down. Avoid startling pedestrians. When approaching from behind, announce yourself and slow down to walking speed when passing. Please obey local traffic laws and regulations if the situation is different.
- In places without laws comply with the safety guidelines outlined in this manual. Neither Ninebot Inc. nor Segway Inc. is responsible for any property damage, personal injury/death, accidents, or legal disputes caused by violations of the safety instructions.
- Do not allow anyone to ride your KickScooter on his/her own unless they have carefully read this manual. The safety of new riders is your responsibility. Assist new riders until they are comfortable with the basic operation of the KickScooter. Make sure each new rider wears a helmet and other protective gear.
- Before each ride check for loose fasteners and damaged components. If the KickScooter makes abnormal sounds or signals an alarm, immediately stop riding. Diagnose your KickScooter via the Segway-Ninebot App and call your dealer/distributor for service.
- Be alert! Scan both far ahead and in front of your KickScooter — your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding obstacles and low traction surfaces (including, but not limited to, wet ground, loose sand, loose gravel, and ice).
- To reduce the risk of injury, you must read and follow all “CAUTION” and “WARNING” notices in this document. Do not ride at an unsafe speed. Under no circumstance should you ride on roads with motor vehicles. The manufacturer recommends riders be 14+ years old. Always follow these safety instructions:• A. People who should not ride the KickScooter include:i. Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs.ii. Anyone who suffers from a disease that puts them at risk if they engage in strenuous physical activity.iii. Anyone who has problems with balance or with motor skills that would interfere with their ability to maintain balance.iv. Anyone whose weight is outside the stated limits (see Specifications). v. Pregnant women.• B. Riders under the age of 18 years old should ride under adult supervision.• C. Comply with local laws and regulations when riding this product. Do not ride where prohibited by local laws.• D. To ride safely, you must be able to see what is in front of you and you must be clearly visible to others.• E. Do not ride in the snow, in the rain, or on roads which are wet, muddy, icy, or that are slippery for any reason. Do not ride over obstacles (sand, loose gravel, or sticks). • Doing so could result in a loss of balance or traction and could cause a fall.
- Do not attempt to charge your KickScooter if, the charger or the power outlet is wet.
- As with any electronic device, use a surge protector when charging to help protect your KickScooter from damage due to power surges and voltage spikes. Only use the Segway supplied charger. Do not use a charger from any other different product models.
- Use only Ninebot or Segway approved parts and accessories. Do not modify your KickScooter. Modifications to your KickScooter could interfere with the operation of the KickScooter, could result in serious injury and/or damage, and could void the Limited Warranty.
- Children should not play with the KickScooter or parts of it nor should cleaning or maintenance be done by children. The use of the machine results in the transmission of vibrations throughout the driver’s body.
- Always place the KickScooter on its stand on a flat and stable surface. The KickScooter must be placed with the stand against the slope to prevent it from tipping over. Never place the KickScooter with the front facing down the slope, as the stand may close and tip the machine. Once the KickScooter is on its stand, check its stability to avoid any risk of falling (by slip, wind or slight jolt). Do not park the KickScooter in a busy area, but rather along a wall. If possible, always choose to park your KickScooter on flat ground.
- For a better driving experience, it is recommended to conduct regular maintenance of the product.
- Please read the user manual before charging the battery.
- Do not touch the brake system, it could cause injuries.

WARNINGMake sure the KickScooter is powered OFF, the power cord is unplugged, and the rubber cap on the charge port is tightly sealed before cleaning; otherwise you may damage the electronic components. Store your KickScooter in a cool, dry place. Do not store it outdoors for extended periods. Exposure to sunlight and temperature extremes (both hot and cold) will accelerate the aging process of the plastic components and may reduce battery life.
Tire PressureInflate tires to 3237 psi. Inflate both tires equally.
Battery MaintenanceWARNING
- Only use the original battery by the manufacturer.
- DO NOT store or charge the battery at temperatures outside the stated limits (see Specifications).
- DO NOT puncture the battery. DO NOT attempt to disassemble the battery. DO NOT touch battery contacts. DO NOT dismantle or puncture the casing.
- Keep the battery contacts away from metal objects to prevent short circuit. Risk of fire. No user serviceable parts.
- DO NOT charge or use your battery if it is damaged or see a trace of water.
- DO NOT store or charge the battery at temperatures outside the stated limits (see Specifications). DO NOT expose the battery to fire. DO NOT discard or destroy the battery.
- Charge the battery after each ride and avoid draining the battery completely. Please read the user manual before charging the battery.
- Refer to your local laws and regulations regarding battery recycling and/or disposal.
NOTEA well maintained battery can perform well even after many miles of riding. Charge the battery after each ride and avoid draining the battery completely. When used at room temperature (70°F [22°C]) the battery range and performance is at its best; whereas using it at temperatures below 32°F (0°C) can decrease range and performance. Typically, at -4°F (-20°C) range can be half that of the same battery at 70°F (22°C). Battery range will recover when temperature rises. More details are available in the App. Typically, a fully charged battery should retain power for 120-180 days. A low-power battery should retain power for 3060 days. Remember to charge the battery after each use. Completely draining the battery may cause permanent damage to the battery. Electronics inside the battery record the charge-discharge condition of the battery; damage caused by over-charging or under-charging will not be covered by the Limited Warranty.
WARNINGDo not ride when the ambient temperature is outside the machine operation temperature (see Specifications) because low/high temperature will limit the maximum power/torque. Doing so could cause personal injury or property damage due to slips or falls.
11 Specifications
¹ Typical Range: tested while riding under full power, 75 kg load, 25°C, 60% of max. speed on average on pavement. * Some of the factors that affect range include speed, number of starts and stops, ambient temperature, etc.
