Safety, power and ride quality

Safety comes first, which means all ZING models are equipped with three independent brakes. The children have different reflexes when braking, so being able to choose increases their safety. The brake lever on the handlebars brakes the front wheel, the foot brake brakes the rear wheel and the regenerative brake brakes whenever the throttle lever is not pressed. The automatic riding modes have been used for the first time ever, making it easier for youngsters to use their electric scooters. The Automatic mode allows starting the scooter by kicking only and then maintains the speed. The Safe mode allows a slow start from zero speed using the accelerator and the Turbo mode unlocks all the capabilities of this electric scooter. The silicone step-on surface has excellent anti-slip properties and is easy to clean. The ride is more stable and more comfortable. The accelerator is operated by a thumb. It has slight resistance and medium sensitivity, which allows good speed control and enjoying the ride fully. The Cruise mode allows starting by kicking only and then maintaining the speed without the need to hold the accelerator. The greater the kick, the faster the scooter goes. It’s simple and intuitive! The handles are made of a special TPR anti-slip material, which is comfortable to hold and offers an unrivaled grip. This again improves the riding experience and gives the child better confidence when steering. The reflective 3M sticker is attached firmly to the rear fender. It has a wide reflection angle and high reflectivity, which improves child's visibility and safety.
