Always exercise caution and take the necessary safety precautions.
1) Place your scooter on a flat surface and hold it in place, making the bottom area accessible.
2) Using the T10 key, unscrew the screws.
3) Locate the ESC

Recomended: disconnect the battery first.
5) Unscrew the controller using the Square Allen key
6) Remove the controller (ESC)
7) Replace controller (ESC)
8) Screw the controller (ESC) back

Important Notice:
When reconnecting the cables, ensure that the red, blue, and yellow cables are reinstalled in their exact original positions. Failing to do so can result in irreversible damage to either the motor or the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC). This step is critical since incorrect installation of these cables can lead to malfunctions or permanent damage to the components.
Double-check each connection to guarantee that colors match their corresponding ports. If you're unsure or encounter any difficulty during this process, consult the manufacturer's manual or seek assistance from a qualified technician. Taking this extra precaution will help maintain the longevity and functionality of your equipment.

Finishing up
Before finalizing the assembly, it is highly recommended to conduct a thorough test of the scooter's functionality. This involves checking all major components for proper operation. Begin by testing the motor's responsiveness and speed control. Next, verify that the front and rear lights are functioning correctly, which includes both the headlights and brake lights. Ensuring that the braking system responds promptly and efficiently is also crucial for safety. By taking this time to test every feature, you can identify and address any issues now, preventing the need for further disassembly in the future.
