Rascal Veo, Veo X & Veo Sport Scooter

2.   Check the vehicle is switched off and the key removed.
3.    Check the mains switch is off.

 Never connect or disconnect the charger with the mains on.

4.    Connect the charger to the charging point on the front of the battery pack. 

 

5.   Connect the mains plug and switch on.
6.    The lamp illuminates green when the charger is powered up,

 then red when it is charging. The  

charger lamp changes to green when the battery is fully charged.

7.    Switch off the mains and remove the plug from the battery pack when fully charged.

 Do not leave 

the charger plugged in with the power off. This will gradually discharge your battery.

Tip:

 

You can charge you battery pack either installed or uninstalled from the scooter using exactly the  

same method.

The batteries are the lifeblood of your vehicle. Their characteristics can change depending on charging,  
temperature, usage and other factors. Listed below are guidelines to prolong battery life.

1.   After using your vehicle always charge it at the end of the day

 even after a short journey.

2.   If you do not use your vehicle for a prolonged period, place it on charge once a week, overnight.
3.   Always use the correct charger with the correct batteries

 as recommended by Electric Mobility (Euro) Ltd

4.    If the batteries have been flat for a long time

 (about 2 months) it is recommended you contact your 

dealer before charging

5.    Do not charge the vehicle in the open / out of doors

 – it may rain and the battery charger is not 

waterproof.

6.   Keep the vehicle in a well-ventilated area and away from any naked flame.
7.    Do not part charge the batteries.

 Allow the charger to complete its cycle.

Note:  Avoid storing your scooter in cold/damp places.  This will shorten battery life and may cause  
deterioration in the structure. Batteries are expensive to replace – it is wise to look after them. 

Warning! 

Never disconnect a battery or the charger while the charger is connected to the mains 

Warning! 

If one or both batteries are damaged they could heat up when charging and, in an extreme 

case, explode.

Notice

 

Your battery pack/s is/are not user-serviceable. Your dealer will replace them when they are 

exhausted and dispose of them in line with environmental regulations applicable at the time.

It may be necessary for some carriers such as airlines to physically disconnect the battery packs. The  
battery pack can simply be removed from the scooter to achieve disconnection.
