VIII. OPERATION 

 
After your scooter is assembled, and adjustments have been made you are now ready 
to operate your scooter.  

The key switch applies power to the control system electronics, which in turn supplies 
power to the motors. Turn the key switch with the key inserted to turn on your 
scooter. 

ATTENTION – Do not use the key switch to stop, or as a brake. Doing so 
may shorten the life of the drive components.  

SUGGESTION – It is recommended you start at slow speeds when 
familiarizing yourself with your scooter controls. Once you feel 
comfortable with the controls, and movement of the scooter you may 
then increase the speed.  

Engage the throttle slowly, and begin steering to drive forward, backward, left or 
right. If you want to stop the scooter, release the throttle and engage the hand brake.  

ATTENTION - Only releasing the throttle without engaging the hand brake 
will cause the scooter to coast, it will not engage any braking mechanism.  

When the scooter is turned on, the battery gauge will display red and green indicators: 

Red: Your scooter should be charged as soon as possible. 

Green: Your scooter has low to full battery capacity.
