Step 4: First Charge — Summer Edition
The 100% Rule
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Charge the battery to 100% before your first ride |
| 2 | Charge in a cool, ventilated area — not in direct sunlight |
| 3 | Do not charge immediately if the scooter arrived hot from shipping |
Charging Environment
| Location | Suitability |
|---|---|
| Indoor, air-conditioned | ✅ Best |
| Indoor, shaded | ✅ Good |
| Outdoor, direct sun | ❌ Never |
Summer tip: If the scooter feels warm from being in a delivery van, let it cool for 30 minutes before charging.

Brake Test

Light Check
