Set Up
- Unfold the SR-5S.
- Connect the black power cable in the handlebar to the cable connector in the steering post (Image A).
- Attach the handlebar to the steering post with the four screws provided in the box (Image B). Use the included wrench to tighten the screws securely without over-tightening, which could strip the heads.
- Plug the AC adapter into the SR-5S and then into the wall outlet until the green light displays on the adapter — the SR-5S is then fully charged.
Read Your Safety Instructions Before Riding
Make sure to read the detailed safety instructions in your supplied SR-5S User Manual before riding.

Lift & Lock the Steering Column
With one foot on the scooter deck, raise and push the handlebars forward until the folding mechanism clicks into place. Secure it by turning the locking ring until the marking points towards the locked symbol.
When You’re Finished Riding
Unlock the locking ring and place one foot on the scooter deck. Gently push the handlebars away from your body with one hand and pull the locking mechanism up to release the steering column into the folded position.
