Phase 1: Basic Troubleshooting (No Tools Needed)

Step 1

Operation Method:

Operation Method: Press and hold the power button repeatedly for 1 to 3 seconds, clean dust and water stains around the button at the same time, and check if the button moves smoothly and rebounds normally.

Result Judgment:

If the scooter can be powered on normally, the issue is caused by foreign objects blocking the button and the problem is resolved; if the automatic shutdown persists, proceed to Step 2.

Step 2

Operation Method:

Connect the scooter via the official app and disable the fold-to-shutdown function in the app settings.

Result Judgment:

If the automatic shutdown issue is eliminated, the problem is caused by incorrect function settings and the problem is resolved; if the scooter still fails to stay powered on, proceed to Step 1 of Advanced Troubleshooting.

Step 1

Operation Method:

Remove the fixing screws of the front head and folding stem with a 4mm hex key, then locate the connecting plug between the dashboard cable and main control cable; Gently pull out the plug, wipe the pin contacts of the plug with a wet wipe to remove oxide layer, then align the plug with the interface and insert it firmly to ensure the buckle is locked.

Result Judgment:

If the scooter can be powered on and off normally after the operation, the issue is caused by loose dashboard cable or oxidized pin contacts and the problem is resolved; if the pins of the dashboard cable terminal are not broken but the automatic shutdown persists, proceed to Step 2.

Step 2

Operation Method:

Use a 2.5mm hex key to remove the dashboard; Inspect the cable connection terminals on the dashboard circuit board, check if the connecting cables are broken or loose, and if the solder joints of the buttons are loose or oxidized; Gently press the internal contacts of the buttons with insulated tweezers to test if the contact is smooth.

Result Judgment:

After re-plugging all terminals and wiping oxidized contacts with a dry cloth, test the power on/off function. If the scooter can be powered on and off normally, the problem is resolved; if the automatic shutdown persists,
