CAN THE E4 AND E4 PLUS BE RIDDEN IN THE RAIN?

Both the E4 and E4 Plus are IPX4 rated meaning they are resistant to water splashes from any direction, we would not recommend riding them in heavy rain or through deep puddles as there are not completely waterproof.

ARE THE HANDLEBARS HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE?

The handlebars are not height adjustable, the E4 and E4 Plus are comfortably suitable for riders 5′ to 6’5″.

HOW LONG DOES THE BATTERY LAST?

The battery will maintain initial performance for the first 500 charge cycles and after that, it will start to decline like all lithium batteries do.

HOW DO YOU ENABLE CRUISE CONTROL?

Hold down the throttle continuously for 8 seconds when ‘walk mode’ is enabled in the app.

HOW FAST DO THEY GO? CAN YOU MAKE THEM GO FASTER?

We have set the limit to 25kph to be in line with the EU regulation for eBike speeds and what we believe is safe, this cannot be increased.

HOW DO I CONNECT TO THE APP?

Please follow the Instructions on our eScooter App Page

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

HOW DO I BUILD MY ESCOOTER?

If you have ordered your eScooter from home delivery, then you will need to take the final steps to finish building your eScooter before you ride. We recommend taking it to a professional to be built, but otherwise we include instructions in the box on how to do this. If you have lost the instructions, then you can see them again below and download them at the bottom of this page.

DO I NEED TO REGULARLY TIGHTEN THE BOLTS?

Yes. Like anything with moving parts, bolts can come loose over time. Handlebars should be checked every ride, and you should do a quick check on the allen key bolts for the head unit (on the side of the steerer) and the folding mechanism each week.

WHERE DOES THE SILICONE GASKET GO?

WHERE DOES THE SILICONE GASKET GO?

The silicone gasket goes within the folding mechanism and helps to negate any vibrations that may damage it.

DOES THE BATTERY NEED TO BE FLAT TO CHARGE IT? 

No. In fact, we recommend charging your battery at every opportunity you can in order to maximise your eScooters battery life. It is also recommended to aim to keep the battery above 50% for as much of the time as possible, or when left for a prolonged period not being used.

HOW DO YOU ENABLE CRUISE CONTROL?

Hold down the throttle continuously for 8 seconds when ‘walk mode’ is enabled in the app

HOW DO I CLEAN MY ESCOOTER?

Cleaning your eScooter regularly is a great way to keep it well maintained. We recommend using a lightly damped cloth or toothbrush to wipe away any dust or dirt that has piled up during your ride.

MY ESCOOTER ISN'T CHARGING, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

The wires connected to the charging port may be loose, which although highly unlikely, can happen through rough handling during shipping or when riding over rough surfaces. Please take your eScooter back to your local bike shop to have this fixed, or refer to the errors section of our owner’s manual (below, or downloadable at the bottom of the page) which will show you how to connect these back. If the problem persists, please get in contact with us directly.

The first port of call is to check which speed mode you’re in, which is numbered 1 to 3 and will be in the middle of your display. Speed 1:  9km/h | Speed 2:  18km/h | Speed 3:  25km/h. To change speed press the button below the display. If you’re eScooter is in Speed 3 but not reaching 25km/h on flat ground and you are average weight and height, then please get in contact with us directly
