Unboxing your dash 3 is the first step toward a life with more spontaneity, more connection, and more control. Getting it ready to ride is simple. And the best part? You're just minutes away from your first adventure.

Here’s your quick start guide to setting up, riding, and owning every moment with your dash 3.

Unboxing your dash 3 and getting ready to ride

Before you can experience the effortless power of your dash 3, you’ll need to get it set up. Don’t worry, we designed the process to be quick, simple, and intuitive.

Start your journey by unboxing your dash 3 the right way

First, open the box and carefully remove all packaging around the dash 3 and its components.

Next, find the velcro strap holding the head tube to the frame. Remove the velcro but don’t throw it away, you’ll need it for safe and secure transport later on.

Unlock the head tube by pressing the silver tab located where the frame meets the head tube. This allows you to move the head tube into place for setup.

Continue removing the remaining packaging materials and the dash 3 seat from the box.

Once everything is unwrapped, lift your dash 3 out of the box and place it on even ground nearby. Thanks to the fully carbon fiber frame, it weighs only 26 pounds, so moving it is easy and manageable.

Setting up your dash 3 for the first time

Now it’s time to bring your dash 3 to life. Pull the head tube upright by pressing the silver tab again if needed. Once the head tube is upright, secure it by lifting the orange lever until it locks firmly into place.

Next, open the orange seat latch, insert the seat’s post into the frame’s seat hole, and close the latch securely. A stable seat ensures a comfortable, confident ride.

Check your battery by pressing the button located on the battery pack beneath the seat. This will display how much power you have stored.

To charge, simply flip open the rubber plug on the battery and insert the included charging cable. You can charge it while it's in place or easily remove the battery with a quick-release button under the seat. When the green light on the charger appears, your battery is fully charged and ready to go.

Turning on, riding, and mastering your dash 3

Once your dash 3 is assembled and charged, it’s time to learn the basics of operation. Mastering these essentials will set you up for smooth and confident rides.

Powering up and understanding your mission control panel

Getting your dash 3 powered up is simple and intuitive. Just long-press the button tucked beneath the handlebar control panel to turn it on. It’s located on the underside of the control panel with the “M” button and the arrows. When your ride is over, the same button easily powers it down.

Once you’re up and running, everything you need is right at your fingertips. The intuitive LCD panel acts as your mission control, giving you a clear view of your speed, mileage, and battery life, all in one quick glance.

Need to adjust your ride? Switching between ride modes is just as easy. A simple press on the arrow buttons lets you choose the perfect setting for whatever journey lies ahead. Press up to access Cruise and Sport Mode, and press down to access Reverse Mode.

Switching ride modes and getting comfortable with the throttle

The dash 3 is designed to flow with you. Start in Walk Mode, which tops out at 4 mph, perfect for getting the feel of your new ride. When you’re ready, bump up to Cruise Mode at 8 mph or full-speed Sport Mode at 18 mph. Need to back up? Reverse Mode is there for a smooth exit at 4 mph.

Using the throttle is intuitive. Twist the right-side throttle gently toward you to move. It’s responsive, thanks to the dash 3’s incredibly linear power delivery.

When you’re ready to slow down, squeeze the brake lever right in front of the throttle. The dual hydraulic brakes respond with precision and control.

Getting familiar with maneuverability and safe riding

The dash 3’s 2.5-foot turning radius means tight spaces are no problem. Practice slow turns at first to get a feel for the nimble handling. The low center of gravity and negative camber design give you even more confidence as you move.

Before cranking up the speed, spend a few minutes mastering turns and stops at a walking pace. This builds muscle memory and sets you up for smoother rides.

Breaking down your dash 3 for transport and storage

Breaking down your dash 3 for storage or travel is just as easy as setting it up. With a few simple steps, you’ll have it compact and ready to move.

Disassembling your dash 3 for easy travel

When it’s time to pack up, removing the seat is simple. Pull the orange lever beneath the seat and use both hands to lift it straight up.

To fold the dash 3’s head tube, press the button on the orange front lever and fold the handlebars toward the seat pole. Then, fold the head tube toward the frame for a compact, travel-ready package.

Don’t forget to reattach the velcro strap around the head tube and frame to keep everything secure during transport.

Tips for maximizing your dash 3 experience

Getting the most from your dash 3 is about more than just riding. A few thoughtful habits will keep your scooter performing beautifully and help you enjoy every ride to the fullest.

Understanding battery life and planning smarter trips

The dash 3’s FAA-approved standard battery offers up to 15 miles on a single charge, while the long range battery gets you up to 25 miles. The standard battery comes included with your dash 3 but you’ll need to purchase the long-range battery from our website for extended performance.

Keep an eye on the battery life display on your LCD panel before setting out. Running out of power mid-trip isn’t fun, and with a simple pre-ride check, it’s easy to avoid.

If you're planning longer journeys, consider upgrading to the long range battery for extra peace of mind and more freedom.

Prioritizing safety and mastering different terrains

Staying safe while riding your dash 3 just takes a few good habits.

Lean slightly uphill when riding uneven surfaces to maintain stability. Stick to moderate speeds, especially when cornering. Approach hills with steady throttle pressure to avoid rolling backward.

Avoid deep puddles to protect your electrical systems. And make sure you follow routine maintenance recommendations, like checking tire pressure and inspecting the braking system regularly.

Finally, plan your route ahead of time. Choose quieter streets or bike-friendly paths to make early rides smoother and stress-free.

Your dash 3 was made for adventures big and small. Now that you’re ready to ride, the only thing left to do is get out there and enjoy the journey.
