###### How do I find a pony scooter ?

###### How do you start the scooter ?

* Press the "unlock" button and scan the QR code on the scooter's handlebars.
* Wait a few seconds for the scooter to light up and then push it forward to raise the kickstand.
* Put both hands on the handlebars and place one foot on the scooter.
* With the other foot, push the scooter until you reach a speed of around 5km/h.
* Put your second foot on the scooter and gently press the accelerator to the right of your handlebars.

###### What should I do if the scooter won't start ?

* Are the front light and speedometer switched on ? 
If not, finish your run and restart it. If the scooter still won't start, it may be due to a technical problem. Park the scooter responsibly and try with another vehicle.

* Is the scooter switched on but not accelerating ?
Try using your foot to pick up a little more speed before pressing the accelerator. If it still doesn't work, it may be a technical problem. Park the scooter responsibly and try with another vehicle
