ScootMan is also quite powerful with the torque of the motor, runs with a thrust when the accelerator is on. If the person weighing about 60 kilograms is full throttle and it exceeds the limit speed of 30 km / h, on the uphill it will speed down more than I thought.

It is no doubt that you attract the attention of those going for sidewalks as you are traveling quickly to quietness and unique forms that are not comparable to gasoline engine scooters. Because of the ruggedness of the compact car body, there was never being overwhelmed by the car from behind.


◆ Folding up

Push it with both hands. It can be carried easily.


Also, unlock the left handle ......


When folded up ......


The width also becomes compact. This way, it is possible to put it on the trunk of the car.


Also, fold the right steering wheel.


To undo, lift the seat ......



Just lay it asleep so as to push the handle and the front around.


Even from the folded state, it can be deformed into a state where it can run soon.
