Saftey Instructions

• DO NOT allow anyone to ride your scooter on his/her own unless they have  carefully read this manual. The safety of new riders is your responsibility. Assist  new riders until they are comfortable with the basic operation of the scooter. Make sure the new rider wears a helmet and other protective gears.
• For safety concerns, the top speed of this scooter is electronically limited to approximately 19 mph (31 km/h), which can be affected by the rider's weight, inclines, road surface condition, tire inflation, wind level, and battery charge level. ALWAYS slow down when passing uneven ground surface. ALWAYS ride with walking speed over speed bumps, thresholds, or any other bumps. 
• DO NOT apply the electronic brake violently due to the nature of such braking system. It may rapidly decrease riding speed and the related kinetic energy may cause riders to fall. Please brake carefully and practice. ALWAYS lean your body backward while applying the electronic brake, or encounter a sudden drop in speed. DO NOT touch the brake components or hub motor on your scooter when in use or immediately after riding, as these parts can become very hot.
• BE ALERT! Ride defensively, watch out for obstacles that could catch your wheel or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Be careful to avoid pedestrians, skaters, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children or animals that may enter your path.
• DO NOT ride in the snow, in the rain, or on low traction surfaces or roads, which are wet, muddy, icy, or slippery for any reason. This could result in a loss of balance or traction and could cause a fall. Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and sudden surface changes.
• ALWAYS hold tight to the handle bar and make sure steering is in control at all  times. DO NOT take your hands off the handlebar while riding or ride with one hand only. DO NOT use your phone or other electronic devices while you are riding the scooter, stay focus on the road. DO NOT do stunts, wheelies, or tricks on your scooter. This scooter is not made to withstand abuse from misuse, including  jumping, curb grinding, or any other type of stunts. 
• DO NOT modify your scooter. Use only Anyhill approved parts and accessories. Modifications to your scooter will interfere with the operation functionality and stability, which could result in serious injury or damage. Any tuning measures will void the Limited Warranty and make your ANYHILL UM-2 unsuitable for riding on public roads.
• DO NOT put your scooter outdoors for a long time. Excessive sunlight, overheating and overcooling will accelerate tire aging and compromise the scooter and the battery pack's lifespan. When the scooter is not in use, keep it indoors where it is dry and cool.

Overview

RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

• Practice your riding skills: To gain and maintain control over your ANYHILL UM-2, practice your first ride in an area without any obstacles.
• Turn on the ANYHILL UM-2 (press the power button once). Apply the disc brake  (rear brake) by pressing the brake lever on the right side of the handlebar, so that your ANYHILL UM-2 does not move unintentionally. Place one foot on the deck and your other foot on the ground.
• Release the brake, with your one foot on the ground; push and slide the scooter forward (as with non-motorized kick-scooters). Then pressing the throttle lever (with a blue tab) on the right side of the handlebars, the electric motor will start to operate.
• Always operate the throttle carefully and adapt to the current traffic situation. Slow down to reduce the risk of accidents. Always keep a safe distance between you and other people, vehicles, or obstacles when riding. 
• Lean your body slightly forward while accelerating, lean your body slightly backward while braking. Avoid leaning your body on the handlebar when accelerating or braking.
• When riding downhill, your ANYHILL can reach a speed higher than 25 km/h. For your safety, please break your ANYHILL UM-2 down to maximum safety speed (25 km/h). Apply the separated-braking method to prevent the braking systems from overheating. 
• When you riding on long curves, make your turn by slightly shifting your weight into the direction of the curve. Ride carefully and do not lean too close to the curve.
• When cornering, slow down to walking speed, carefully turn the handlebar to the desired direction. Before turning, make sure that other road users are not hindered and that there are no obstacles in the way. 
• Always yield to the pedestrians and respect pedestrians' Right of Way. When approaching a pedestrian from the front, slow down and avoid startling them. When approaching from behind, ring your bell (pull the bell lever with your right index finger) or announce yourself to give them heads-up, and slow down to walking  speed when passing.
• Your ANYHILL UM-2 has a kickstand. You can fold it down and up with your foot. Only park your ANYHILL UM-2 on solid and even ground.
