2. Plug the charger into the charge port located on thefront of the scooter or if you wish remove the batteries forcharging you can plug the charger directly into the chargeport on the battery.

3. The light on the side of the charger will turn red indicat-ing that the battery is charging. The charger will automati-cally shut off and the light will turn green when the chargeis complete. Your scooter will be fully charged in 4-6 hours. Note: It will take 8-10 hours to charge the batteries the first fourcharges. This is part of the normal battery break-in period.

4. Recharge your scooter after every use. Leaving the bat-teries empty overnight allows the acid in the cells to eataway at components inside the batteries. Keeping the bat-teries full when not in use will ensure property batterylifetime.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

•Tires

•Belt

Item Inspection Instructions

• Every 30 days check the side-walls and tread for damage. Tireswill need replacement about once ayear. If your tires are gouged orthreadbare replace them immedi-ately.•Before each ride, squeeze thetires to make sure they are firm. Ifyou are not sure if there is enoughair pressure check with a pressuregauge. The tires should be inflatedto 50 psi. Tires lose about 10 psiper month.

•Every 30 days check the belt fortears. Clean gravel and small peb-bles out of the grooves in the rearsprocket. Replace the belt if youfind any tears more than 1/3 thewidth of the belt. It is not neces-sary to retension or lubricate thebelt because it will not stretch andwill break if over-tensioned oroiled. If you ride every day expectto change the belt once a year.

Below are tips to help keep your scooter running well.This schedule is calculated based on a 1 mile dailycommute ride.

•Bearings

•Brakes

•Brake cable

• Vego scooters use all sealedbearings. The only bearings thatrequire adjustment are the head-set. Adjust the headset only if itfeels loose.

•Once a year check the brakeshoes for wear. The brake systemis similar to that of a car andshould be serviced when the shoesare 90% worn out but before thedrum is damaged. The shoe lifedepends on rider weight and otherfactors and varies widely from afew months to a year or longer. Ifyour brakes start to make a grind-ing sound and you have riddenyour scooter very regularly replacethe shoes immediately.

•Before every ride, check thebrake cable for stretch by pullingthe brake lever back with moder-ate force. If the lever pulls back tothe handle grip easily adjust thebrake barrel on the brake lever. Ifyou can still easily pull the leverback please see govego.com forassistance in adjusting youbrakes.

•Batteries

•Wheels

•FoldingMechanism

• Immediately after every ridecharge your batteries. The batter-ies are rated at 750 charge cycles.That means if you ride everydayyou will need a new battery packafter about two years. The bestmethod to ensure good battery lifeis to charge the batteries to fullafter every ride.

•Check the wheels for cracks ifyou jump curbs or ride aggressive-ly. This type of hard riding causesexcessive of wear and tear on yourscooter and voids your warranty. Ifyou regularly jump down curbscheck your wheels for cracks everyride.

•Every 30 days check the foldingmechanism for looseness. If thereis over one inch of play at the han-dlebars, tighten the headset, steertube clamp and folding mecha-nism quick release. If the handle-bars remain loose after tightening(over one inch of play) you mayneed to replace a worn parts.Contact us at www.govego.com or 1-888-8GOVEGO
