CHARGING THE BATTERY
Your Pocket Mod may not have a fully charged battery; therefore it is a good idea to charge the battery prior to use.
• Initial charge time: 12 hours.
• Recharge time: up to 12 hours, even if the light turns
green. Recommended maximum charging time is
24 hours.
• Always charge the battery immediately after riding.
• Fully charge battery before storing for extended periods
of time.
• Unplug charger from the wall outlet when not in use.
• Failure to recharge battery periodically may result in a
battery that will not accept a charge.
Charger
Note: Make sure power is turned
OFF when unit is not in use. If
the power switch is left on for an
extended period of time, the battery
may reach a stage at which it will
no longer hold a charge.
PRE-RIDE CHECK LIST
Brake
Check the brake for proper function. When you squeeze the
lever, the brake should provide positive braking action. When
you apply the brake with the speed control on, the brake cut-off
switch will stop the motor.
Tires
Periodically inspect the tires for excess wear, and regularly
check the tire pressure and reinflate as necessary. If you get
a flat tire, the inner tube can be patched or a new tube can be
purchased.
Frame, Fork and Handlebars
Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken frames
are rare, it is possible for an aggressive rider to run into a curb
or object and wreck, bend or break a frame. Get in the habit of
inspecting your product on a regular basis.
• Make sure power switch is turned OFF when unit is not
in use. If the power switch is left on for an extended
period of time, the battery may reach a stage at which
it will no longer hold a charge.
• To ensure long battery life, never store the product in
freezing or below freezing temperatures! Freezing will
permanently damage the battery.
• Run time: Up to 40 minutes of continuous ride time.
Run time may vary depending on riding conditions, rider
weight, climate and/or proper maintenance.
• Constant stopping and starting may shorten ride time.
• Battery life can vary depending on proper maintenance
and usage of the unit.

Hardware/Loose Parts
Before every ride, check all parts, such as nuts, bolts, cables,
fasteners, etc., to ensure they are secure and assembled correctly.
There should not be any unusual rattles or sounds from loose
parts or broken components. If the unit is damaged, do not ride.

Safety Gear
Always wear proper protective gear, such as an approved safety
helmet. Elbow pads and kneepads are recommended. Always wear
athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles) and keep shoelaces
tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system.

the recommended charger. Batteries
are only to be charged under adult
supervision. The charger is not a toy.
Always disconnect the charger before
wiping down and/or cleaning the
Pocket Mod with a damp cloth.
The charger supplied with the
Pocket Mod should be regularly
examined for damage to the cord,
plug, enclosure and other parts. In
the event of such damage, the Pocket
Mod must not be charged until it has
been repaired or replaced.
Chargers have built-in over-charge
protection to prevent battery from
being over-charged.
