Electric2Fun Scooter Maintenance and Usage Guide
Congratulations on your new Electric2Fun scooter! To ensure the best performance and longevity of your scooter, follow this step-by-step guide for initial setup and ongoing maintenance.
Initial Setup: Upon Receiving Your Scooter
Step 1: Unboxing and Inspection
- Unbox the Scooter:
- Carefully remove the scooter from its packaging.
- Check for any visible damage during shipping.
- Check Tire Condition:
- Inspect the tires for any signs of damage or defects.
- Ensure tires are properly inflated (see tire inflation guidelines below).
Step 2: Battery Charging
-
Locate the Charger:
- Find the charging cable and adapter included in the box.
-
Connect to Power:
- Plug the charger into a standard electrical outlet.
- Connect the charger to the scooter’s charging port.
-
Charging Indicators:
- Red Light: The battery is currently charging.
- Green Light: The battery is fully charged and ready for use.
Note: It is recommended to fully charge the battery before the first use. This may take several hours depending on the battery level at delivery.
Step 3: Brake Inspection and Adjustment
-
Check Brake Pads:
- Inspect the brake pads to ensure they are not worn out or damaged.
- Make sure the brake pads are aligned correctly with the wheel rims.
-
Adjust Brakes if Necessary:
- If the brakes are misaligned, use an Allen wrench to adjust the position of the brake pads.
- Ensure the brake pads make full contact with the rim when the brake lever is pulled.
Step 4: Tire Inflation
-
Check and Adjust Tire Pressure
- Ensure the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure.
- The recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) for the scooter's tires is 35-40 PSI.
- Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure.
- If the tire pressure is below the recommended range, use a pump to inflate the tires to the proper PSI.
Following these steps will ensure your scooter is properly set up and ready for use. Enjoy your ride!

Check Tire Pressure Regularly:
- Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure weekly.
- The recommended tire pressure is usually indicated on the tire sidewall.
-
Inflate Tires as Needed:
- Use a bicycle pump to inflate the tires to the recommended pressure.
- Avoid over-inflating or under-inflating to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Note: Fill the tires to proper pressure (LBS) immediately upon receiving the scooter. Check tire pressure every month to prevent drag and slow performance.
Brake Adjustment Guidelines

Inspect Brakes Regularly:
- Check the brake pads every month for wear and alignment.
- Ensure brake cables are tight and responsive.
-
Adjust Brake Pads:
- Loosen the bolts holding the brake pads with an Allen wrench.
- Adjust the pads so they are aligned with the wheel rims.
- Tighten the bolts securely.
Battery Charging Guidelines
-
Regular Charging:
- Charge the scooter’s battery after each use to ensure it is ready for your next ride.
- Avoid letting the battery completely drain before charging.
Note: Charge the scooter battery for at least 8 hours before use, regardless of indicated charge status. Always charge the battery after each use, even for short trips. Regular charging ensures maximum battery life and optimal performance by maintaining the first cell in the battery.
-
Storage:
- If storing the scooter for an extended period, charge the battery to about 50% and store it in a cool, dry place.
- Check the battery every few months and recharge if necessary.
-
Charging Safety:
- Always use the charger provided by Electric2Fun.
- Avoid exposing the charger or battery to moisture or extreme temperatures.
