Your new VMAX R40 PRO

Your parcel has just arrived!

We're just as pleased as you are. But before you get started, there are a few important things to consider:

1. Tire pressure

   During the time in the box, the tires may have lost some pressure. Riding with under-inflated tires can cause serious damage to the scooter. It is therefore essential to check the tire pressure before the first ride and at regular intervals Depending on the weight of the rider, the tire pressure should be between 2.5 and 3.0 bar.
   
   

2. Disc brakes

   The mechanical brakes may need to be adjusted before the first ride. To do this, use the adjustment wheels on the respective brake lever.
   
   

3. App connections

   The app provides you with lots of useful information about your scooter and helps you to plan your tours, including charging stops, in advance. The app is purely optional and not essential for using the scooter.
   To connect your scooter to your cell phone via Bluetooth, you need the VMAX E-SCOOTER app (available for iOS and Android).
   
   

4. Kickstart or Zerostart

   This is what we call the two start modes of the scooter. We recommend Kickstart, especially for inexperienced riders. In this mode, the scooter does not start when you just press the throttle. In this mode, you start off as if you were riding a scooter and only press the accelerator when you are already rolling and both feet are safely on the footboard.
   In zero start, the scooter starts off when stationary. As the drive comes from the rear wheel, the front wheel can rise into the air if you have your weight on the back of the scooter.
   To switch between the two modes, simply go to the display settings.
   
   

5. Riding position

   The R40 PRO is ridden in a sporty position with slightly bent legs. This position is supported by the low handlebars.
   For controlled acceleration, the center of gravity must be shifted forward. This prevents the front wheel from losing contact with the ground. When braking, the center of gravity is shifted to the rear wheel by adopting a slightly seated position. If the center of gravity is too far forward on the scooter during hard braking, the rear wheel may rise and the scooter may become difficult to control.
   
   

6. Riding modes

   You can switch between the two riding modes of the R40 PRO by briefly pressing the "S" and "D" buttons. In first gear, the scooter goes up to 20 km/h, in second gear it unfolds its full potential and takes you safely to your destination at up to 40 km/h.
