WARNINGS & GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR YOUR SAFETY...
• This product is intended for ages 13+. Always drive defensively, and watch out for potential obstacles that may catch your wheel or cause you to swerve suddenly.
• Always check any local laws or regulations which may affect where the Jetson
Beam can be used. This product is intended to be used on private property.
• Ride at your own risk and use common sense. Any rider that is unable to fit comfortably on the vehicle should not attempt to ride it. All decisions on who can ride the Jetson Beam should be made based on their maturity, skill, and ability to follow the rules.
• Keep this product away from small children. It is intended for use by people who are, at a minimum, comfortable and competent when operating the Jetson
Beam.
• The Jetson Beam is designed for one rider. Never carry passengers, and do not attach the Jetson Beam to other objects.
• This product was manufactured for performance and durability, but is not impervious to damage. Aggressive riding can over-stress and damage the Jetson
Beam. The rider assumes all responsibility and risk associated with high-stress activity.

Bluetooth 4.0 onnects to Ride Jetson App
Your Jetson Beam is Bluetooth 4.0 enabled, so you can pair it with Jetson’s
Ride Jetson app on your personal Bluetooth enabled device. It can be paired with Androids and iPhones.
The Ride Jetson app is available for download from the App Store and the
Google Play Store, and unlocks extra features on your Jetson Beam. Simply install the app (it’s free!) and connect to your Jetson Beam via Bluetooth (as detailed on the next page).
Extra features available through the app:
- Turn your Beam light on/off, increase or decrease light’s intensity, choose the light pattern (solid or pulsing)
- Turn your headlight on/off, and increase or decrease light’s intensity
- Lock and unlock your scooter remotely, for added safety
10
To pair your Jetson Beam with your Bluetooth enabled device, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the Jetson Beam so that it will become discoverable on your device.
2. Make sure the Bluetooth function in your handheld device and in the Jetson
Beam is turned on.
3. Open the Ride Jetson app in your device, and locate the Bluetooth icon in the top left corner.
4. Tap on the Bluetooth icon, and from the device list, select your Jetson Beam.

Pulsing Beam Light
Once your Jetson Beam Scooter is in motion, the pulsing beam light located on the handlebar stem will automatically turn on. The throttle sensor on deck senses when you step off – once you step off, the pulsing beam light will automatically shut off after 60 seconds.
Rear Wheel
Rear wheel LED lights will change from color (matching your Jetson Beam model) when in motion, to red when braking.
11
HOW TO ATTACH AUXILIARY WHEELS
Your Jetson Beam comes with auxiliary wheels you can attach, which provide a more practical and comfortable way of carrying your Beam. To attach:
1. Lay your Beam on its side, and locate 4 screws (2 on each side) that are towards the front wheel, close to the bottom of the deck.
Screws
2. Unscrew the 4 screws.
3. Line up the holes on the platform attached to the auxiliary wheels, with the holes on the Beam where the screws were. Make sure the auxiliary wheels are closest to the front end of your Beam.
4. Place a screw in each hole and tighten to secure the auxiliary wheels to your
Beam.
Once properly attached, you can use the auxiliary wheels to roll your
Jetson Beam when it’s not in use. Simply fold up the Beam and lift it up by the handlebar (in a position where the wheels are on the bottom and the handlebar is on top), with the auxiliary wheels being the only wheels that should be touching the ground. Pull it behind you for easy transporting. Adjust the handlebar to a height that’s comfortable for you.

HOW TO USE YOUR JETSON BEAM
RIDING THE JETSON BEAM
SAFETY GEAR
Helmet Most serious injuries that occur while riding are head injuries. This could be prevented by wearing a helmet.
Elbow and Knee Pads For added protection, always wear elbow and knee pads when riding your Jetson Beam, to prevent any serious injuries.
DRIVING TECHNIQUE
Foot Position - before riding put your foot as close as possible to the front section of the scooter, and your other foot on the ground. Make sure that your driving route is clear.
To start riding, boost yourself forwards (as on non-motorized scooters) with your foot that is on the ground. Please do not push the thumb throttle all the way down, get accustomed to the acceleration of the throttle.
Immediately after boosting yourself forward, slowly press the thumb throttle downwards, tilt your body forwards so you shouldn’t fall backwards during acceleration. The Jetson Beam will be in motion.
Avoid putting your body pressure on the handlebars in acceleration and deceleration! Keep one foot behind the other, (it’s more comfortable to place one foot forward and the other one turned backwards at 70-90°, like on skate/ surfboard). It will help you gain more stability.
NOTICE: Riding, like most sports, involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride the Jetson Beam the responsibility and all inherent risk is on you. It is crucial that you know, understand and act according to safety rules.
Turns - The turns on the Jetson Beam are commanded by the direction you turn the handlebar/front wheel in, and leaning your body in the direction you are turning. Before turning look at the approaching direction and make sure turning is safe.
Braking – You have two options to brake: e-brake and foot brake. To use the e-brake, the Jetson Beam must be powered on. Press the e-brake while on the scooter to make it stop (being careful not to press too fast, as it may cause too sudden of a stop/jerking motion).
To use the foot brake, tilt your weight backwards so that the brake action will come through the feet and not trough the handlebar and steering system. Lift your back foot and step down on the back wheel cover. It is best to learn how to adjust your center of gravity when braking, otherwise, you could fall forward.
13
SAFE DRIVING
1. Get to know the Jetson Beam before driving it. Test your control over it.
Make your turns slowly and cautiously, and give yourself stopping distance.
2. Your driving capability - to gain control over your scooter, practice your first ride on the Jetson Beam in an open space with no obstacles to disturb you.
3. Recommended tires pressure in back tire: 70psi
FOLDING YOUR JETSON BEAM
Your Jetson Beam Scooter folds up conveniently to store away easily in the trunk of a car, in a closet, or to carry with you onto a train or bus!
Step 1 Open the Quick Release Lever and slide the expandable handlebar all the way down. Once it’s completely stored away, lock the Quick Release Lever.
Step 2 Pull the Folding T-bar Latch out, and pull the handlebars out to the side.
Push one handlebar down at a time, and press in until they are fully stored.
Once both handlebars are folded down, bring the Folding T-bar Latch back to its original position.
Step 3 Open the Folding Lock Lever and press the Release Button. Fold the handlebar down towards the rear wheel until you hear a “click.” Once it’s fully folded, close the Folding Lock Lever to secure.

OPERATION
MECHANICAL SAFETY TESTS
Before using the Jetson Beam: Perform a visual inspection that all screws and nuts are tight and in place. Tires and wheels: check the tires for signs of wear.
To do this- spin them to make sure that they are not yet in the need of replacing. Make sure that the wheels are freely rotating from the brakes. If not, take the Jetson Beam to the authorized distributor. Before each ride, always check your brakes and mechanical function.
BATTERY
• Do not operate the motor while charging
• Battery level indicator in the LCD display is intended for general knowledge (full/empty) only, and does not give a precise indication to the battery status.
• If storing the Jetson Beam for long periods of time, make sure you store it with a fully charged battery, and make sure to charge it once a
month.
DO NOT USE THE BATTERY IF THE SCOOTER
• Is broken
• Emits an unusual odor or excessive heat
• Presents any leakage
Avoid contact with any substance oozing from the battery. Keep the battery away from children and pets. Exposure to the battery voltage can cause death or serious injury.
The use, storage or charging of the Jetson Beam battery outside specified limits may result in the annulment of the warranty, battery damage, and an ineffective battery charging.
CHARGING AND BATTERY
Your Jetson Beam has a charging port located at the front of the deck.
15
Charging Port
Connect the charger’s electric cable to an electrical outlet. Open the cover to the charging port in your scooter (note: be sure to keep any liquids away from charging port and cable), and then connect the charging cable to the scooter’s charging port under the footboard, on the right side at the front. Always plug the charger into the wall first before the device. The charger offers a charging status on the top of the charger:
Charging Light Red Battery is charging.
Charging Light Green Charging is complete.
Once the charger is plugged into the wall and then the charging port, the charging light should turn red, indicating that it is charging. If it does not turn red, either the battery is full or the charger is not properly connected to the
Beam. Once the light has turned green and charging is complete, unplug the cable from the charging port, as overcharging your scooter can affect the service life of the batteries.
(Please note: Always plug the charger into the wall first before the device. If the wall outlet doesn’t have power and you plug the charger into the unit, it will light green, even if the battery is not full. So always plug into the wall first to make sure there is power.)
Average charge time is 3 hours. Charge the battery only using tools approved for the Jetson Beam.
To maximize your scooter’s battery performance, fully charge it for 3 hours, once a month, or after each use of twelve hours. It is dangerous to use the
Jetson Beam when plugged into an AC outlet. Electrical shock can cause serious injury and damage the scooter. Do not attempt to open the battery. Do not insert anything in the battery and do not attempt to open its case with any tool.
16
Inserting an object into openings or in the battery can cause electrical shock, injury, burns or fire. Any attempt to open the battery case will damage it and cause release of dangerous toxic substances. Unplug the Jetson Beam from the outlet before performing any maintenance. Carry the Jetson Beam according to all applicable local and national requirements.
PROTECTION AGAINST OVER-DISCHARGING
The Jetson Beam has a built-in smart over-discharging protection system that will actively cut off the power when the scooter is in a locked or shutdown state and battery power is too low. Once the scooter goes into the over-discharging protection mode, it needs to be awakened by charging. If the scooter remains un-awakened after 30 minutes of charging, please contact the authorized dealer of the Jetson Beam, or Jetson’s customer service.
JETSON BEAM CARE AND MAINTENANCE
STORAGE
If you plan on storing your Jetson Beam for a substantial amount of time, please do the following:
• If the ambient temperature of your storage area is below 32 degrees
Farenheit, please do not charge. You should bring the scooter into a warm environment (above 50 degrees Farenheit) for charging.
• To prevent dust, cover the Jetson Beam when storing.
• Store the Jetson Beam indoors, in a dry and suitable temperature.
• Do not leave the Jetson Beam plugged into the charger for long periods of time.
MAINTENANCE
The Jetson Beam was assembled by professional technicians. Any attempt to independently fix or change the Jetson Beam or parts of it in any way, can cause damage to the Jetson Beam folding electric scooter, and can cancel the manufacturer warranty given upon delivery. Please contact your authorized
Jetson dealer, or Jetson’s customer service for any maintenance needs.
