Riding Instructions
This guide assumes that you already know how to ride a standard scooter. Before
you try to ride an electric scooter, you should be very familiar with controlling
and balancing a normal scooter.
Caution
If you do not have cycling experience, this electric scooter will be too dangerous
to ride. Do not begin learning to ride a scooter using this electric scooter.

Items to Carry with the Electric Scooter


It’s a good idea to carry the following items with you at all times when you ride
your electric scooter.
 The Charger, to charge the electric scooter in case the battery power
runs out.
 30Amp Fuse, in case the fuses blow.
 A Lock, to secure your electric scooter when you park it.
 One or Two Helmets, as required by safety laws

GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

Inspecting your Electric Scooter

Always inspect your electric scooter before you ride it, to make sure its safety
features are operating properly. Many accidents can be avoided with routine
inspections. Once you are comfortable with your electric scooter, you will be able
to detect small changes in the way it feels.

If anything changes between uses, make sure to have it properly examined. Also,
be sure to listen for changes in the sounds your electric scooter makes over time.
Any mechanical or power issues may have effects on the sounds the scooter
makes.

Holding the Handlebars

As with a normal scooter or gas scooter, place your fingers over the brake levers,
using the palms of your hand and your thumbs to wrap around and under the
handlegrips. Doing this allows you to activate the brakes easily, by squeezing
your hand, in case you have to stop quickly. This is the safe way to control your
electric scooter.

9
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

Turning your Electric Scooter On and Off

To turn on your electric scooter, insert the key into the “ignition”, located just
below the dash board, and turn the key to the right. When your electric scooter is
activated, the power indicator will light and the battery charge indicator will jump,
showing you how much power your electric scooter has. To turn off the electric
scooter, simply turn the key to the left, and remove the key.

Warning

When you activate the electric scooter, the electrical system becomes live. Do not
try to affect changes to the electric scooter (such as removing the battery or
repairing electrical components) while the electric scooter is activated. Turn the
electric scooter off and remove the key before you attempt to access any of the
electrical components. Also, the battery carries a significant electric charge and
can injure people if not treated properly and with respect.

Accelerating and Decelerating

The throttle is found on the right-side hand grip on the handlebars. Turn the grip

10
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

forward (away from you) to accelerate. To decelerate, release the grip (turn it
towards you). Don’t over-rotate the accelerator, as this could damage the throttle
and electrical components.

Warning

Do not activate the accelerator until you are seated on the scooter and are ready
to accelerate. The electric scooter can easily escape from your control, possibly
injuring you or others, and the electric scooter may be damaged by being
dropped.

Stopping

Your Electric Scooter has two sets of brakes, at the front and at the rear. The levers
attached to the handlebars, on the left and right, activate the brakes. Pull the
levers toward you to activate the brakes.

You can use both brakes to come to a stop more quickly, or you can use one of
the brakes to come to a gentle stop, depending on your riding needs at the
moment.

11
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

When the brakes are activated, the power to the engine is automatically turned
off, until you release the brakes. This allows you to stop safely.

Safety Tips
 When you are traveling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to
function
 less efficiently because it reduces friction between the brake pads and
the wheels.
 Take care to slow down and give yourself more room to stop or slow if
necessary.
 • It is a good idea to have your brakes and brake pads checked regularly.
The brake pads will eventually wear down through friction, and after
significant use will have to be replaced.

Signalling

The Horn

The Electric Scooter has a horn. The horn button is on the left handlebar. Simply
press it to activate the horn.
12
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

Turning Signal Lights

Your Electric Scooter has turn signal lights. The turn signal activator is on the left
handlebar. Push it left or right to activate it to indicate that you are turning in the
appropriate direction, and press the middle of the button to turn it off. The turn
signals also emit a noise, to ensure that everyone knows you are turning. This
turn signal cannot be disabled without also disabling the visual signal.

Lights

The headlight and taillight are useful features when you are riding at night or in
dark areas. They radically improve your safety in mixed traffic. The switch is
located on the left handlebar. The lights on your electric scooter consume some
electricity. Keeping them on may reduce the maximum distance you can travel on
one charge by about 5 %.

Riding in Wet Weather

Your Electric Scooter is designed to function in wet conditions, such as when it is


raining. However, because the motor is on the rear wheel, it is easy to slip when

13
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

moving at high speeds. If it is very wet, be sure to avoid high speeds.

When you are traveling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to function
less efficiently because it reduces friction between the brake pads and the wheels.
Take care to slow down and give yourself more room to stop or slow if necessary.

The Motor and Water

Your Electric Scooter is not designed to be immersed in water. Always ensure that
the water level does not go above the middle of the tire, to prevent water from
getting inside the motor.

Water in the motor can cause short-circuits and may damage the electrical
systems in your electric scooter.

Riding in Cold Weather

Your Electric Scooter is designed to operate year-round. However, in very cold


conditions or when there is a lot of snow or slush on the ground, it is possible for
the motor in the electric scooter to get wet or for the brakes to function less
efficiently, just as can happen in wet weather. Below 10 degrees Celsius, the
14
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

battery will not work as well as it would in warmer temperatures. While


Lithium-Ion batteries perform better than Lead-Acid batteries in temperature ex

tremes, both will experience reduced performance in cold temperatures.

Also, riding the Electric Scooter in cold temperatures may require you to replace
the battery sooner rather than later.

Maximum Load

Do not exceed the maximum load capabilities of your Electric Scooter. You can
find the exact loading capacity listed in the technical specifications in this guide.

If you exceed the maximum load, the performance of the bike will suffer.

Exceeding the maximum load of your Electric Scooter could cause damage to the
shocks, to the mechanism and, ultimately, even to the frame. It could also cause
your motor to work too aggressively, and it may burn out.

Disconnecting the Circuit Breaker

When the circuit breaker is disconnected, all power from the battery to the
15
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

electric scooter is blocked. This is useful if you are going to store your Electric
Scooter or if it is damaged and you wish to bring it to be serviced.

Disable the circuit breaker using the following very simple procedure.

1.Open the seat compartment.


2.Find the circuit breaker switch (it should be very obvious).
3.Activate the switch. The power to the Electric Scooter will be disabled.

Long-Term Storage of your Electric Scooter

If you are storing your bike for a long period, disconnect the circuit breaker. This
is a safer way to store the electric bicycle, as it prevents accidental activation of
the electric scooter and makes it impossible to activate it even with the key. The
circuit breaker is found by opening up the battery case. It sits between the
battery and the controller.

Please see the section titled “Your Battery” for instructions on battery
maintenance while your electric scooter is being stored.

16
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

The Battery
This section details what you need to know about the battery that powers your
electric scooter. Always remember to treat your electric scooter’s electrical
systems with respect.

Distance and Power

Your battery has the capacity to carry you anywhere from 40 to 70 km before it
must be recharged. The ability of your battery to power your scooter depends on
many variables. These variables include the weight of the rider, the prevailing
wind resistance, the rider’s driving habits, the presence of steep hills and inclines,
and other issues such as proper air pressure in the tires.

Saving Power

If you are traveling long distances, you can save a lot of electricity by using better
driving habits:

 Coasting: When going downhill or over long, flat road surfaces, try
17
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

using your e-bike’s momentum and allow it to coast, without drawing power
from the motor.
 Stopping and Starting: Try to avoid stop and go movements. The
motor draws more power when starting from a full stop.
 Weight: Remove unnecessary weight from the bike. This reduces the
amount of power the motor must draw.
 Air Pressure: Make sure your tires have the proper air pressure. Proper
pressure reduces drag on the tires and radically increases the efficiency of
any vehicle.
 Head and Taillights: Turn off the lights to conserve power, if it is safe to
do so. The lights will reduce the distance you can travel by about 5%.

Charging your Electric Scooter


Charging your Electric Scooter is a simple process. You require the following:

• The charger that came with your Electric Scooter.

18
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

• A 110V household electrical outlet.

Charger Warning

Only use the chargers that were supplied with your Electric Scooter. Using
chargers that do not have specifications identical to those which came with the
Electric Scooter could irreparably damage your Electric Scooter’s battery and
electrical systems, and may cause injury.

To charge your Electric Scooter, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the Electric Scooter and remove the key from the “ignition.”
2. Plug the female end of the charger cable into the charging slot on the
Electric Scooter. This is found on the outside casing of the Electric Scooter, in
front of and just underneath the seat.
3. Plug the male end of the charger power cable into your wall socket. This
should be a 220v household electricity supply. You can also use a portable
generator, if necessary, but make sure it provides 220V current.
4. Allow the Electric Scooter’s battery to charge for the appropriate
amount of time (6-8 hours).
19
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

5. Disconnect the charger when the LED light on the charger is green. The
batteries have been fully charged.

If your charger’s LED status light does not change from red to green over an
extended period of time, for perhaps more than 14 hours, and the battery is very
hot, the battery or charger may need replacing. Stop charging and bring both to
your MiLG dealer immediately. Do not charge the battery.

To charge the JY, there is a black cap under the front of the seat Lift that cap
down and it will reveal the charging port

Battery Care

Follow these suggestions to maintain your battery’s optimal performance. If you


do not follow these suggestions, your battery may lose its ability to maintain a
charge and might have to be replaced sooner than would otherwise be
necessary.

 Charge it: Charge your battery immediately after riding it.


 Full Charge: Do not allow the battery to run down completely and lie in

20
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

storage
 without a charge. This significantly reduces the battery’s lifespan and
may cause damage.
 Keep it Charged: When being stored, charge the battery occasionally to
make sure its power supply does not run down. Charging it once every 21
days should be sufficient.
 Storage Conditions: Store the battery on a flat, cool, dry surface. Do not
allow the battery temperature to drop below 10 degrees Celsius for
extended periods of time.

Cold Weather and your Battery

Below 10 degrees Celsius, the battery will not work as well as it would in warmer
temperatures. While Lithium-Ion batteries perform better than Lead-Acid
batteries in temperature extremes, both will experience reduced performance in
cold temperatures.

Also, repeatedly riding the Electric Scooter in cold temperatures may cause your
battery to have to be replaced sooner.

21
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

Replacement and Disposal

After approximately 600 charges, a lead-acid battery will need to be replaced. A


lithium-ion battery will last approximately 1200 charges. When the battery has to
be replaced, you will notice that your battery cannot carry as much of a charge as
it could initially.

Contact your local MiLG dealer to purchase a new battery.

When replacing your battery, dispose of it at a proper municipal battery recycling


facility. If none is available, please contact your local MiLG dealer

Technical Data
This section provides you with the technical specifications for your electric
scooter.

The Motor and Wheel Assembly

The JY has a magnetic DC brushless motor on the rear wheel hub. This type of
motor has excellent medium-end torque and high efficiency when working within
its range. Note that while the motor is very quiet, it does produce some noise.
Also attached to the rear hub are speed reduction gear and the speed free clutch.

The Freewheel

The wheels have freewheels, so the electric scooter’s drive train is not fixedly
geared. This means that when coasting or traveling downhill, you can turn off the
engine and your electric scooter will continue to move without slowing. This
feature will allow you to achieve faster speeds when coasting, moving downhill or

33
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

moving with the wind. It will also allow you to conserve electrical power, because
you will be able to let to the motor rest while moving.

The Controller

MiLG pioneered the development of intelligent component control in electric


scooters. The MiLG Drive technology developed by MiLG is the brain of your
electric scooter. It allows your electric scooter to achieve faster acceleration, to
climb steeper hills, and to save energy.

The electronic controller is located under the seat assembly. This controller
efficiently regulates the speed and electronic functions of the scooter. It allows
for stepless speed adjustment, shuts off the motor when the brakes are activated,
has low voltage protection and has fuses to prevent excess current from
damaging the electric scooter’s systems.

34
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

The Brakes
Front Brakes & Rear Brake

Both front brake system and rear brake system on your JY scooter are hydraulic
disc brake, which provide for a very powerful stopping and control, with less
brake distance than other type of brake system.

JY Scooter use the latest combined-brake system(CBS function), whether you


depress the front brake or rear brake, the braking force is also distributed to the
other brake, which reduced braking distance and increases the stability of
braking.

35
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

Maintenance and Troubleshooting


This section outlines problems you may have and solutions you may be able to
use.

Many of the parts in this product are not user-serviceable and should be repaired
by trained professionals. This is especially true of the electrical systems and the
mechanical components. Alteration of these components voids the warranty.

Tire Pressure

Maintain the air pressure in your tires at the appropriate level. If the air pressure
is too low, your electric scooter’s performance will suffer and it will become
damaged more easily.

Cold weather and lower temperatures will cause the air pressure in your tires to
drop, and warmer weather will cause it to increase, even if there are no leaks in
the tire tube. To replace the air in your tires, follow this procedure:

36
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

1. Identify the required pressure by examining the text along the side of
the tire rim. This text should indicate the recommended pressure for your
tire.
2. Locate the air valve on the inner surface of the tire rim.
3. Remove the valve cap and place in a secure location.
4. Place the nozzle end of an air pump (hand-power or mechanical) over
the valve.
5. Pump up the air in the tire, being careful not to let the pressure go
above the level prescribed on the side of the tire wall.
6. Remove the pump nozzle from the air valve without allowing much air
to escape from the tire.
7. Replace the valve cap on the air valve.
Maintaining the proper air pressure will allow you to travel much further on a
single charge, because the motor will not have to work as hard to move the
electric scooter.

Replacing Flat Tires

37
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

Replacing flat tire tubes is a more complicated and labour-intensive process with
electric scooters than it is with regular scooters. It requires proper tools, more
skill and more patience.The front wheel is easier to service when changing a flat
tire than the rear wheel, as the rear wheel is connected to the hub motor and
other mechanical parts.

Unless you are very familiar with the mechanical components of the rear motor,
attempting to change a flat rear tire may cause serious problems. Please contact
your MiLG dealer for specific instructions on how to remove your wheel and tires
safely, and how to replace the tubes.

It may be easier – and safer - to have the tubes replaced by your MiLG dealer.

The Motor

Do not service the motor yourself. Bring the electric scooter to your MiLG dealer
for service. The motor in your electric scooter is a highly complex and fine-tuned
mechanism. Repairing it requires significant expertise.

We suggest maintenance every 100 running hours or so.

38
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

The Chain

Ensure that the chain on your electric scooter is well-oiled and lubricated. It is an
important part of your electric scooter. As with any scooter, it needs to be
maintained if it is to function.

Shock Absorbers and Comfort

If your riding experience feels bumpier than usual, and you suspect that your
shock absorbers are experiencing difficulties, check the air pressure in your tires.
If the air pressure is too low, this may be the reason you feel less comfortable. It
may have nothing to do with your shock absorbers.

If the problem persists, take your electric scooter to your MiLG dealer for
servicing.

Bringing in your electric scooter for Service

Do not attempt to service the electronic or mechanical parts of your electric


scooter unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing and have a solid
understanding of electrical and mechanical equipment.
39
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

If your electric scooter is not performing properly, disconnect the circuit breaker
and bring the electric scooter to your local MiLG dealer.

Do not store the electric scooter without disconnecting the circuit breaker.

Liability

MiLG will not be held responsible for damage or injuries resulting from errors
resulting from improperly serviced parts.

Electric Scooter Maintenance


Cleaning

Cleaning is extremely important this will ensure your electric scooter will serve
you for a long time. In the long run, it will save you money and a lot of time
waiting for the bike to be repaired. You should clean your electric scooter weekly.

Do not use aggressive power jets or water sprays when washing the electric
scooter and keep water off the battery as much as you can. Clean gently but

40
GUANGDONG FUTENGDA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

thoroughly and make sure that all the outer casing of the electric parts are dry
and clean.

Remove any dirt, debris, sand, mud, grit, grime that got caught on the bike and
dry it off. While cleaning, it is a good opportunity to look closely for a worn, loose,
cracked, rust, teared or damaged parts. Buckled paint can also be a hint for some
parts that need closer inspection.

Lubricating

It is also recommended to lubricate the chain, levers, derailleur, cables, etc. A


clean, lubricated electric scooter tends to be faster, smoother and quieter. It’s like
having a little extra push for free.

Apply the lubricant to the different parts and let it sit a few minutes and then
wipe off the excess lubricant with a rag. After a while, clean the different parts
with a degreaser to remove any excess dirt that has been collected.

Don’t leave the bike out in the rain or snow.

Store it somewhere dry and out of direct sunlight. Overheating the batteries, for
example, can cause problems.

Do not open up casings, chargers, etc as you are unlikely to be able to reseal
them effectively afterward, making them more susceptible to water damage and
other extreme weather conditions.

Batteries should be removed from the electric scooter if not used and charged
once a month regardless of usage.

Schedule

The frequency of maintenance depends on how much you ride and under which
conditions. Recreational riders needs far less maintenance then off-road riders.
The harder you ride, the more you have to take care of your bike if you want it to
last. There are various time intervals for proper maintenance. Quick maintenance

should be done before & after every ride.
