CHARGING THE BATTERY
Your Drifter comes with a built-in rechargeable lead acid battery. Always use the provided charger only. The Charging Port is located below the
Stem Tube of the Drifter. Please remember to cover the Charging Port when you are done charging the Drifter. Before your first ride you must fully charge the Drifter - charge for 4 hours for the first 3 times you use it. For every ride after, charge your Drifter until it is fully charged, and
NOT LONGER. Do not leave any chargers plugged in overnight, or leave it plugged in past the charge time.
1. Plug one end of the power cord into a grounded AC outlet and the other into the Drifter’s Charging Port. The red charging light on the charger unit will turn on.
2. The red light will turn green once fully charged. Recharge the Drifter after each use.
(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 device first, it will light green, even if the battery is not full. So always plug into the wall first to make sure there is power.)
THE CHARGER OFFERS A CHARGING STATUS ON THE TOP OF THE
CHARGER:
CHARGING LIGHT RED: Battery is charging.
CHARGING LIGHT GREEN: Charging is complete.
Don’t use the Drifter if the battery emits strange odors, overheats, or begins leaking. If the battery does leak, do not touch any leaking materials, as the battery contains dangerous substances. Do not open the battery and do not insert anything into the battery.
Only use the provided charger for the Drifter. Do not charge the battery if it has over-discharged. It should be discarded for your safety. Do not turn on the Drifter while it is charging.

OPERATING THE DRIFTER
SAFE RIDING
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 Drifter, to prevent any serious injuries.
Get to know the Drifter before riding it. Test your control over it. Make your turns slowly and cautiously, and give yourself stopping distance.
Always keep your feet on the Foot Rests and both hands holding onto the Handlebar when you ride. It is recommended you practice your first ride on the Drifter in an open space with no obstacles in your way.
Turns - The turns on the Drifter are commanded by the direction you turn the Handlebar/Front Wheel in. Before turning, look both ways to make sure your path is clear.
TURNING THE DRIFTER ON AND OFF
To turn the Drifter on, flip the Power Switch located on the left side of the Drifter below the Stem Tube to “I” or on.
To turn the Drifter off, first make sure the Drifter is not in motion. Then, flip the Power Switch to “O” or off.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
DRIVING RANGE
The average range of the Drifter is 8 miles. However, a lot of factors will affect how far you can go per charge:
• Driving surface: A smooth, flat surface will increase driving
distance.
• Weight: More weight means less distance.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the Drifter under recommended temperature, which will increase its longevity and driving distance.
• Maintenance: Timely battery charging and maintenance will increase driving distance.
• Speed and driving style: Maintaining a moderate speed will increase distance. Frequent starting and stopping, acceleration, and deceleration will reduce it.
SPEED LIMIT
The top speed of the Drifter is 6 mph.
WEIGHT LIMIT
The maximum load is 154 lbs. Going above the maximum weight limit can cause injury or damage the Drifter.
CLEANING THE DRIFTER
To clean the Drifter carefully wipe with a damp cloth, then dry with a dry cloth. Do not use water to clean the Drifter, as the electrical and electronic systems may get wet, resulting in personal injury or malfunction of the Drifter.

• Be alert to things in front and far away from you.
• Make sure your feet are always placed securely on the foot rests.
•The Drifter cannot be ridden by more than one person. Only one person can ride at a time.

• Avoid riding in the rain or on smooth surfaces such as snow or ice.
• Do not ride on roads with obstacles (such as litter, small stones, etc.).
