Your new VX4

Your package just arrived! 

We're just as excited as you are. But before you get started, there are a few important things to keep in mind: 

1. Tire Pressure

   While the scooter was in the box, the tires may have lost some air pressure. Riding with insufficient air pressure can cause a variety of problems with the scooter, since one of the tire's key functions is to provide suspension for the scooter.
   Be sure to inflate both tires before your first ride. Depending on the rider's weight, the tire pressure should be between 2.5 and 3.0 bar.
   
   

2. drum brake

   It is essential to adjust the scooter's mechanical drum brake to your weight before riding.
   To do this, turn the adjustment wheel at the bottom of the Bowden cable either a little further up (the brake will then engage more firmly) or down (the brake will then engage more gently).
   
   

3. Regenerative brake

   The electric motor brake is a regenerative brake. When the scooter is turned off or the motor is running at low speed, the braking force is very low.
   For example, to prevent it from rolling away on a slope, always use the left Combined brake.
   
   

4. App Connections

   The app provides you with a lot of useful information about your scooter and helps you plan your trips in advance, including charging stops. Please note that the app is purely optional and is not required to use the scooter.
   To connect your scooter to your phone via Bluetooth, you'll need the VMAX E-SCOOTER (available for iOS and Android). 
   
   

5. PIN Lock

   You can find all the information you need on how to lock your scooter with a password or change your PIN in our video:  

6. Kickstart or Zerostart

   That’s what we call the scooter’s two starting modes. We recommend the kickstart mode especially for inexperienced riders. In this mode, the scooter won’t start if you just twist the throttle—it has to be rolling first. In this mode, you start off as if you were riding a kick scooter and only apply the throttle once you’re already rolling and both feet are securely on the footboard.
   With a zero-start, the scooter starts moving from a standstill. Since the drive comes from the rear wheel, the front wheel can lift off the ground if you shift your weight to the back of the scooter.
   To switch between the two modes, simply go to the display settings.
   
   

7. USB port on the steering column

   Your VX4 lets you charge your cell phone while riding so you can use the navigation system even on long trips. A USB-A port is located below the left control unit. To use this port, plug the cable and your cell phone (which should be turned off) into your scooter, and only then turn on your scooter. This is the only way to activate the power supply to the port.
