Asiwo MAKO Electric Kickboard Quick Start Guide

If you’re new to an electric kickboard, here’s the quick answer: charge the battery, click it into place, then press and hold both triggers to move. Tap the right trigger to go faster and the left trigger to slow down. After every session, rinse it (especially after salt water), dry it, and store the battery separately. This guide covers the full setup, speed control, safety rules, and after-use care.

Specs at a Glance

What Comes in the Box

• MAKO electric kickboard

• Battery pack

• Charger

• User documentation

If anything is missing or damaged, don’t use it until it’s replaced.

Step 1: Charge the Battery

A full charge gives you the best performance and runtime.

1. Plug the charger into the wall

2. Connect it to the battery

3. Charger indicator:

   • Red = charging

   • Green = fully charged

4. Charging time is typically 3–4 hours

If charging pauses: the battery may be too warm (for example after use). Let it cool in the shade, then try again.

Step 2: Install the Battery

1. Open the battery compartment

2. Insert the battery in the correct orientation

3. Press firmly until you hear a click

4. Close the compartment securely

No click usually means it’s not fully seated. Remove and reinstall.

Step 3: Start and Stop

MAKO uses a dual-trigger system to prevent accidental starts.

• Hold the kickboard with both hands

• Press and hold both triggers at the same time to start

• Release either trigger to stop immediately

Tip: Test it in calm water first so you learn the response.

Step 4: Change Speed Modes

Your MAKO electric kickboard starts in Low by default.

While it’s running:

• Tap the right trigger once to increase speed

• Tap the left trigger once to decrease speed

Choosing the right mode

• Low: best control, longest runtime (great for pools)

• Medium: balanced cruising

• High: strongest thrust, shortest runtime

Step 5: Check Battery Level

With the device powered off:

1. Press and hold either trigger for 3 seconds

2. LEDs show battery level:

   • 4 lights: 76–100%

   • 3 lights: 51–75%

   • 2 lights: 26–50%

   • 1 light: 1–25%

After-Use Cleaning

If you used it in a pool (fresh water)

1. Rinse the body and prop area with clean water

2. Wipe dry

3. Remove the battery and let both air-dry separately

If you used it in the ocean (salt water)

Salt is the #1 cause of long-term issues, so flush it out:

1. Submerge or rinse the kickboard in fresh water

2. Turn it on in fresh water and run it for about 3 seconds

3. Repeat 5–10 times

4. Remove, wipe dry

5. Remove the battery and air-dry both parts separately

Avoid storing it wet. Moisture trapped inside can cause corrosion and connection problems.

Electric Kickboard Safety Tips

• Wear a life jacket, especially for kids and beginner swimmers

• Keep fingers, hair, straps, and loose clothing away from the propeller

• Avoid sand, seaweed, ropes, and debris-heavy water

• Don’t run the motor out of water for more than 1 minute

• Don’t exceed the waterproof limit (avoid deep diving)

• Use only the original battery and charger

• Don’t disassemble or modify the kickboard

Best Practices for Pool Use

If you mainly ride in a pool:

• Use Low or Medium around others

• Start in a clear lane or open area

• Keep the prop away from pool drains and floating toys

• Rinse and dry after every session (chlorine can still be harsh over time)

Storage and Battery Care

• Remove the battery when not in use

• Store in a cool, dry, ventilated place

• For long-term storage:

  • fully charge the battery

  • recharge once a month
