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.
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.
