THROTTLE AND bRAkE OPERATION & ADjUSTMENT

THROTTLE OPERATION

The speed of the Electro-Drive™ 
scooter is controlled by a grip-
twist throttle, which is located on 
the handlebar.

To check the throttle operation, 
turn the power switch to the 
“OFF” position. Fully twist the 
throttle then quickly release it. 
The throttle is spring loaded and 
should immediately spring back to 
its original (also know as “Zero Position) position.

To accelerate, twist the right hand throttle grip towards you as you stand 
on the deck plate. The more you twist the throttle, the faster the motor will 
propel the scooter until you reach the scooter’s top speed.
To go slower, or coast to a slower speed, allow the throttle to spring back to 
its original position. To decelerate or come to a complete stop, release the 
throttle and allow it to return automatically to its original position. Then squeeze 
the brake lever(s) to activate the brake(s). Remember to release the throttle 
whenever you apply the brake.

The throttle and its components are fully assembled and 
tested at the factory. Do not attempt to adjust them at 
any time. If you feel the throttle and/or components are in 
need of service DO NOT RIDE THE SCOOTER! Con-

 Customer Service number at 

1-800-377-4532. 

If you do not fully understand how to operate your scooter 
throttle properly, DO NOT RIDE YOUR SCOOTER. Con-
tact Currie Technologies Customer Service for information 
and instructions at 1-800-377-4532.

HOW TO USE THE THROTTLE LED’S

When the throttle is engaged (powering the motor) and the scooter is in mo-
tion, the LED’s on the throttle indicate instantaneous line voltage as mea-
sured at the battery terminals -- and not the available energy in the battery 
pack.
