General Safety Guidelines

  1. Do Not Ride in Rainy Conditions
    Water can damage electrical components and increase the risk of slipping. Always ride in dry weather.

  2. Avoid Self-Repairs
    Attempting repairs without proper knowledge may lead to electric shock or further damage. Always consult authorized technicians. If your electric scooter is misbehaving, please send it to our award winning Jerung Medic after-sales service centre.

  3. Obey Local Traffic Laws
    Respect local regulations regarding electric scooter usage, including speed limits and allowed zones.

  4. No Stunts or Acrobatics
    This scooter is built for commuting, not tricks. Performing stunts may lead to serious injury.

  5. One Rider Only
    Never allow more than one person to ride the scooter at a time.

  6. Wear Safety Gear
    Always wear a helmet, gloves, and elbow/knee pads for protection during your ride.

  7. Practice Before Riding on Roads
    Start in an open, obstacle-free area to get comfortable with the electric scooter before venturing into traffic.

  8. Adjust Handlebar Height
    If you have an adjustable pole, ensure the T-bar is adjusted to a comfortable height to maintain control and avoid injury.

  9. Charge Before First Ride
    Fully charge the electric scooter before using it for the first time to optimize battery performance.

  10. Never Power Off While Riding
    Turning off the electric scooter mid-ride can result in loss of control.

  11. Avoid Large Steps or Curbs
    Do not attempt to climb steps higher than 3 cm, as this could cause tipping and injury.

  12. Mind the Temperature
    Use and store the electric scooter in environments between -5°C and 50°C for optimal performance and battery life.

  13. Monthly Charging for Long-Term Storage
    If the electric scooter is unused for long periods, charge it at least once a month to preserve battery health.

  14. Avoid Deep Water and Spraying
    Do not ride through puddles deeper than 5 cm or expose the electric scooter to direct water spray. This can cause electrical failures.

  15. Keep Both Feet on the Deck
    Always stand with both feet firmly on the deck while riding to maintain balance and control.

Warning

Exceeding local speed limits or ignoring traffic laws can result in injury or legal consequences. Ride responsibly at all times.

Folding & Unfolding

Before hitting the road, it’s important to know how to properly open and fold your Kaabo Urban electric scooter. Follow these steps to ensure your ride starts and ends smoothly.

Display & Settings (LT01)

This scooter is equipped with an LT01 display throttle. It has a beautiful color screen to display the necessary information at a quick glance. It also has a Type-A USB port on the side that adds the convenience of charging your devices while on the go.

Display Parameters

  • Power Button – To turn the electric scooter ON or OFF, press the power button for 3 seconds. 
  •  Mode Button – The mode button allows you to toggle through different display parameters when the electric scooter is turned ON. The available parameters are further elaborated below.
  • GEAR – This electric scooter can be switched between three gears. Think of it as a “speed limiter” where gear 1 sets the electric scooter to its slowest speed while gear 3 sets it to the highest speed. 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.

Here’s what each P-setting does:

P-SettingFunction
P0Tire Diameter
Sets the wheel size in inches. This helps the display calculate speed and distance accurately.

eg: If your scooter uses 8 inches tyres, use 8 in the settings. If it uses 10 inches, use 10 in the settings.

P1Controller Shut-Down Voltage
Sets the minimum voltage at which the controller cuts off power to protect the battery.

Depending on your electric scooter, set the value accordingly:
36V = 31.5
48V = 42.5
52V = 43.5
60V = 53.0

P2Motor Magnetic Pole Setting
Defines the number of magnetic poles in the motor. This affects speed reading accuracy.

Default: 30 – do not change.

P3Speed Signal Selection

P9Maximum Power Percentage Limit
Sets a limit to the maximum power in percentage. This setting alters the overall performance of the electric scooter, useful if you would like to tame the electric scooter performance for less experienced riders.

100 = No limit, 100% power
5 – 99 = Reduced power, eg: setting 80 will limit the performance to 80%
Default: 100
