In reverse mode, a warning buzzer sounds automatically.
Releasing the throttle lever going forward or reverse will result in the scooter slowing down and

(you will hear a click from the rear of the unit).
■

switch.

Suggestion
1.
You should recharge the batteries after each time the vehicle is used to ensure maximum range.
The batteries should be charged at least once a week even if the scooter is being used and once
a month if it is not being used..
2.
After charging or replacing the batteries, operate the vehicle for 2-3 minutes to make sure the
Battery charge is sufficient.
3.
In winter time, the batteries may respond more slowly and the battery range may be reduced.
4.
When riding on a gradient, the battery indicator light might move up and down. This is
a normal phenomenon so please do not worry.
5. The battery range will be reduced when riding frequently on a slope or rough terrain, as this leads to
greater consumption of power.
6. The electromagnetic brake is automatically applied whenever the throttle lever is released and after
the
SPORTRIDER
stops completely.
