Section 5 - FAQ’S

HOW FAR WITH THE ELECTRO-DRIVE™ SCOOTER GO ON A FULL

CHARGE?

Maximum range per charge for the 300 and 4.0 series scooters is 7
miles (11 km), 400 and 500CD series scooters is 8 miles (13 km) and the
650CD, 750CD and 900CD series scooters is 12 miles (19 km).

Note:

Range per charge of the scooter depend on many variables, includ-

ing but not limited to: riding conditions, rider weight, battery charge, etc.
Riding at full speed will dramatically reduce your range.

WHAT IS THE TOP SPEED OF THE SCOOTER?

Your Electro-Drive™ scooter will accelerate up to 12 mph (20 km/h) for
the 300 and 4.0 series scooters and up to 15 mph (24 km/h) for the 400,
500CD, 650CD, 750CD and 900CD series scooters.

Note:

Top speed of the scooter depend on many variables, including but

not limited to: riding conditions, rider weight, battery charge, etc.

WHAT IS THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF MY SCOOTER?

Maximum rider weight is 180 lbs, (82 kg) for the 300 and 4.0 series scoot-
ers, 240 lbs. (109 kg) for the 400 and 500CD series scooters and 260 lbs.
(118 kg) for the 650CD, 750CD and 900CD series scooters; never exceed
it.

CAN I RIDE MY SCOOTER IN WET CONDITIONS OR ON WET PAVE-

MENT?

No! Riding in wet conditions can cause the rider to lose control and due
to the possibility that water might enter the electrical components (battery
compartment, motor, controller, etc.) causing them to fail, we strongly
recommend you do not operate the scooter in wet conditions, through
puddles, in snow or anywhere your scooter is likely to get wet. Currie

fl

ating the tires is not necessary.

For scooters equipped with pneumatic tires check tire pressure imprinted
on the sidewall of the tire. In
