Hit the Road – Riding Pulse
Congratulations, you’ve made it this far! You are almost ready to get on
the road with your awesome new Ecoped Pulse. Here are a few tips for
safe riding and proper road procedures.
Mounting the Scooter
Roll the scooter forward to disengage the double kickstand, and
fold it fl at against the bottom of the battery storage bay. Grab both
handlebars and sit on the scooter seat while keeping one foot fi rmly
on the ground. Start pedaling slowly and gradually to gain speed.
You can accelerate slowly once you have gained momentum and the
scooter is able to stay upright.
Accelerating
The right handlebar also acts as the throttle. To accelerate, gently
twist the throttle upwards. Ecoped Pulse has a bit of a kick, so be
careful not to twist too much! Get a feel for how the motor responds
before setting out on a longer ride.
Pedaling
The folding pedals on Ecoped Pulse are there to provide additional
power when riding up steep hills or when the battery begins to lose
its charge. You should always keep the pedals unfolded and ready for
use in the event that you need to use them. Using them will also help
to save battery power and can increase the overall travel distance per
charge!
