Unlike conventional vehicles where you have to start with the lower gear and shift to the higher one as you move, electric scooters allow you to start with the top gear right away if you want to. You would want to switch to lower gear when you are riding in a busy area and use a higher gear when the street is less crowded.
  • Speed-o-meter – The two large digits on the display shows the speed that the electric scooter is cruising at. 
  • Battery Indicator – The battery indicator shows a rough estimate of the battery level of the electric scooter. Typically, when the battery drops down to the last block, you should be getting ready to recharge the electric scooter. 
  • Throttle – The throttle stick functions as the electric scooter’s accelerator. It is a variable throttle, which means, the electric scooter’s speed changes according to how deep the throttle is pressed. If the “kick start” mode is enabled (indicated by the “Zero” icon on the display), you will need to give the electric scooter a gentle push to glide before pressing the throttle to get it moving.



Important

Don’t wait for the battery to fully drain. Recharge the scooter when there’s only one or two bars left to help protect the battery and extend its lifespan.

Basic Operation (Kaabo CM06)

Turning On

Long press the Power Button for 2 seconds to turn on the electric scooter, the display will enter into NFC locked mode.

Password Interface

Long press the Power Button to turn on the electric scooter, the display will enter into NFC unlocking interface, and the NFC indicator will blink. Now press the Mode Button to enter the password interface. The default password is 1500. Press the Up button to increase the value and Down button to decrease it. Press the Mode button to move on to the next value. Once the password is entered correctly, the electric scooter will unlock.




Pro Tip

For security reasons, always change the default password to something that you can remember.

Changing Gears & Speed Control

The electric scooter has three gears (the K2 variant has up to five gears):

Gear 1
Gear 2
Gear 3
Gear 4
Gear 5
  • Gear 1 – Slowest speed
  • Gear 3/5 – Maximum speed

To switch between the gears, press the Up Button to increase and Down Button to decrease.

Eco Mode

Eco Mode

If your electric scooter supports 5 gears, additionally, it will have Eco Mode option that puts the electric scooter into energy saving mode. This will be indicated by the letter “E” in the gear indicator. To enter Eco Mode, keep pressing the Down Button when you reach gear 1 and the Eco Mode will engage.

Switching Display Modes

While the scooter is turned ON, pressing the Mode Button cycles through several parameters that gives you a quick glance at necessary information. The modes will cycle between the following:

Trip
Odometer
Time
Voltage
ModeFunction
TRIPDisplays the distance traveled since the last reset
ODOMETERIndicates the total distance the electric scooter has traveled.
TIMEShows how long the electric scooter has been powered on since the last reset.
VOLTAGEShows the current battery voltage.

Reset Trip and Time

The Trip meter and Time since turned on can be reset so you can gauge the time and distance travelled from the point of reset. 

To reset them, first let the electric scooter turned on for more than 10 seconds. Now, make sure you’re on the Trip interface as the reset function will only work on this interface. If you’re not in Trip interface, press the Mode button to switch to it. Now, long press the Mode button and the Trip icon will blink. Press the Mode button once again, and now the Trip meter and Time will both reset to zero. You cannot selectively reset either the Time or Trip meter, both of them will reset together.

Single / Dual Motor Modes

Single Motor Mode
Dual Motor Mode

If your electric scooter has dual motor configuration, you can switch between single motor and dual motor seamlessly. By default, the electric scooter will always turn on in single motor mode that spins only the rear wheel. This is shown by  single indicator and a small arrow behind the rear wheel of the electric scooter icon on the display. 

To switch to dual motor mode, long press the Up Button and the dual motor mode will engage. This is shown by dual indicator and a small arrow in front of the front wheel of the electric scooter icon on the display.

To switch back to single motor, long press the Up Button again.

Braking State

The electric scooter comes with Electronic Braking System (EBS) that delivers enhanced braking using electronic mechanism. When the brakes are engaged, the controller receives the EBS status signal that cuts off all electronic power supply to the motor and provides feedback to the brake status on the display. In braking state, the arrow(s) near the wheels of the electric scooter icon will blink.

Auto Cruise Control

The electric scooter comes with a built-in Auto Cruise Control feature, designed to maintain a constant speed for smoother long-distance riding. When you hold the throttle at a steady position for approximately 7 seconds, the cruise control will activate automatically. You can now release the throttle, and the scooter will continue moving at the same speed. By default, this feature is turned off for very obvious reasons.

To disengage the auto cruise control, either hit the throttle again, or press the brakes.




Warning

Auto Cruise Control is meant for expert riders and should not be enabled otherwise. If you’re not expecting it, this can cause sudden movement without throttle input and cause serious injuries. By default, Jerung Wheels always disable this feature.

There are three different cruise control settings. These modes control how and when cruise control activates, giving you flexibility based on your riding habits. These modes can be selected in the P-settings that are elaborated below in this user guide.

Mode 0 – Auto Cruise Control OFF

In this mode, cruise control is completely disabled. This setting is ideal for new riders or for city riding where constant speed adjustments are necessary. Holding the throttle steady will not activate cruise control in this mode, giving you full manual control at all times.

Mode 1 – Auto Cruise Control Automatic

In this mode, the auto cruise control indicator is shown on the display and it activates automatically. When you hold the throttle in a fixed position for about 7 seconds, the auto cruise control indicator will blink continuously to indicate that auto cruise mode has been engaged. You can then release the throttle, and the electric scooter will continue at the same speed until you tap the brake or press the throttle. This mode is best for long, uninterrupted roads where maintaining a constant speed is beneficial.

Mode 2 – Auto Cruise Control Manual

In this mode, auto cruise control is enabled but requires manual activation. This means the feature will not engage automatically and the auto cruise control icon will not be immediately displayed. Instead, while maintaining a steady speed, you will have to long press the Down Button to activate the auto cruise control function, upon which only, the auto cruise control indicator will be shown. At this point, keeping a constant speed will engage the auto cruise control and the auto cruise control indicator will blink continuously until you tap the brake or press the throttle. This setting offers more control and prevents unintended activation, making it suitable for riders who occasionally use cruise control on longer rides.

Kick Start

The electric scooter includes a Kick Start function, which determines how the motor engages from a standstill.

When Kick Start is ON (enabled by default), the scooter requires a small manual push – such as kicking off with your foot before the throttle becomes active. This is called a non-zero start, and it prevents accidental acceleration from a dead stop.

When Kick Start is OFF, the scooter enters a zero start mode, allowing you to accelerate directly from a complete stop by simply pressing the throttle – no kick-off needed.




Warning

For safety, it’s recommended to leave Kick Start ON unless you’re an experienced rider who prefers quick take-offs.

Battery Level Indicator

The display has a handy real-time battery level indicator. The following table shows the battery level indicator and its corresponding available battery power percentage.

When you stop:

  • Power off your electric scooter by long pressing the / Power Button.

  • Use the kickstand to keep it upright on flat ground.

Charging the Electric Scooter

Charge your electric scooter when the battery level is low. Do not let the battery drain completely; this helps maintain battery life and performance. The proper sequence of charging is as follows:

  1. Plug the charger to the wall socket first and turn it on.

  2. Check if the LED indicator on the charger has turned green. This indicates that the charger is in standby mode. If the LED is flashing or shows red color, do NOT use the charger as it might be faulty.

  3. Finally, plug in the charger plug into the charging socket of the electric scooter. The LED will now turn red indicating charging sequence.

  4. The LED will automatically turn green once the charging is completed.

Daily Maintenance

Battery Care & Tips

  1. The electric scooter uses a high-quality lithium battery that can be recharged up to 1,000 cycles.

  2. Always plug in the charger to the wall socket first before plugging it into the electric scooter. If the charger is faulty, do not, at any cost, try to plug it in.

  3. Keep your battery fully charged. Lithium-ion batteries have a longer lifespan if they’re charged rather than empty. If you went out riding and still have plenty of charge left, just plug it in and let it charge to full again. Do NOT leave your electric scooter with low battery level.

  4. If you won’t use your electric scooter for a long time, charge it at least once a month to maintain battery health.

  5. Do not leave the charger plugged in for too long (weeks or months) after the battery is fully charged. 

  6. Over time, your battery will experience degradation. This does not necessarily mean that your battery is spoilt. It just means that it requires recalibration and balancing. Jerung Wheels highly recommend you to do this process at least once a year or 1500km whichever comes first. Bring it to our experts at Jerung Medic to get this done. Do NOT attempt it yourself as these batteries are extremely dangerous if handled improperly.

Keep Your Electric Scooter in Top Shape

Regular maintenance keeps your electric scooter safe, smooth, and performing at its best. Follow these simple tips to extend its lifespan.

Lubrication

  • Re-lubricate the mechanically moving parts every six months to keep its operation smooth.

  • Avoid using WD-40 or general-purpose sprays — use proper lubricants suitable for electric scooter parts.

Tyres

  • Check your tires regularly for wear, cracks, or punctures.

  • Make sure your tires are properly inflated if they’re pneumatic. This helps maintain ride comfort and safety.

  • Replace worn or damaged tires promptly.

  • You can find replacement tyres & tubes for your electric scooter and schedule for installation with our Jerung Medic if necessary here.

Brakes

  • Test your brakes before each ride.

  • If braking feels weaker or takes longer, adjust the regulator nut on the rear wheel to fine-tune brake sensitivity. If your electric scooter uses hydraulic brakes, they require brake bleeding to improve the braking performance.

  • If your brakes are squeaking, you may need to replace the brake pads or the disc caliper might require realignment or replacement.

  • Get your brakes professionally serviced if needed.

Keep It Clean

  • Wipe down your electric scooter regularly to remove dust and dirt.

  • Avoid spraying water directly onto electrical parts. Use foam and dry cloth to clean it instead.

  • Store your electric scooter in a dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and rain as much as possible.




Pro Tip

Always do a quick pre-ride check — test the brakes, lights, horn, and tire condition before hitting the road.

Troubleshooting

If your electric scooter isn’t working as expected, you may check these common points. If none of these seem to fix the problem, please reach out to our Jerung Medic to get them fixed by our trained professional.

My electric scooter won’t power on.

  • Make sure the battery is charged.

  • Check the Power Button — press and hold for at least 3 seconds.

  • Inspect all hubs and connectors for loose or dirty connections.

The display turns on, but my electric scooter won’t move.

  • Check if the throttle works: remember, the default is Kick Start mode — you must push off before the throttle engages.

  • Make sure the brake lever isn’t stuck in the engaged position.

The brakes feel weak.

  • Adjust the rear brake’s regulator nut to improve sensitivity.

  • Check the brake pads for wear and replace them if needed.

  • If your electric scooter uses hydraulic brakes, you may need to bleed them.

The lights or horn don’t work.

  • Check connections for loose wires.

  • Ensure your battery isn’t too low — some features may stop working when power is very low.

The battery doesn’t hold charge well anymore.

  • This may happen if the battery is nearing the end of its life cycle (up to 1,000 charges).

  • Your battery might need to be recalibrated and balanced. Send it to Jerung Medic to get it fixed.

LT01 Error Code Troubleshooting
E06

Error code E06 indicates low voltage protection. 

What It Means

Your battery voltage is too low or the display voltage setting is incorrect.

What To Check

Step 1 – Battery is depleted

This error commonly pops when your electric scooter’s battery is close to depletion. Plug in the charger and fill up the battery. The error should disappear.

Step 2 – Incorrect P-settings

If the battery is already fully charged and Error Code E06 still appears, check your P-settings. They might be incorrect. Enter the P-settings and go to P1 setting which indicates the controller shut down voltage. Now, depending on your electric scooter voltage, you may need to set the following parameters:

VoltageSetting
36V31.5
48V42.5
52V43.5
60V53.0

Step 3 – Faulty Controller

If the electric scooter is fully charged and the setting is correct but the code stays, the controller may be faulty. For dual motor electric scooters, it will be the controller-A that will need to be replaced. Please contact us to get it fixed.

LT01 Error Code Troubleshooting
E07

Error code E07 indicates motor hall sensor fault. 

What It Means

There’s an issue with the motor’s Hall sensor connection.

What To Check

Step 1 – Problem at motor Hall wire

  1. Open the battery compartment. Check the motor Hall wire and make sure it’s plugged in firmly.
  2. You might also want to check if the motor Hall wire is torn and the copper is exposed. You may use high temperature resistant insulating tape or heat shrink to wrap around the damages.

Step 2 – Controller / Motor problem

If the wiring looks fine and the error E07 persists:

Single Motor Electric Scooter – Replace the controller first. If the error still shows, replace the motor.

Dual Motor Electric Scooter – Dual motor electric scooters have two controllers and motors. Try swapping the motor cables between front and rear. If the code disappears when swapped, replace the faulty motor or controller as needed. (Note: When swapping, connect the motor phase wires exactly as originally installed. Do not mismatch the wire colors. The green and yellow being cross connected is NOT an error.)

What It Means

There’s a problem with the throttle signal.

What To Check

Step 1 – Phase wire modifications

If you’ve modified the wiring or replaced parts recently, restore the wiring to factory condition first before checking.

Step 2 – Waterproof plug wire bending

The LT01 throttle is connected using waterproof plugs that have connecting pins within. Often times, if the plug is disconnected and reconnected, improper insertion may lead to bent pins.

Check the display’s waterproof plug for bent pins and straighten them carefully.

Step 3 – Display problem

If the waterproof plug is fine, the next possibility is the LT01 display throttle being faulty. Try replacing the LT01 display throttle and see if that fixes the problem.

Step 4 – Realign the XHB/8 wire

If the display is working fine, open the deck and check the green wire at the XHB/8 core terminal that connects to the collect box. 

Gently pull the wire to see if its loose, and insert it tightly, ensuring its properly connected.

Step 5 – Controller problem

If the steps above so far have not proved to be the reason, its possible that the controller-A is faulty. Replace the controller and check if that solves the problem.

Step 6 – Phase wire

If all above are not producing any results, the problem could be somewhere in the phase wire (instrument main line). 

Replace the entire phase wire with a new one, the problem should be solved.
