These labels communicate important warnings or
instructions - Please familiarize yourself with their location.
Get to know the feel of your Scooter and it's capabilities.
We recommend that you perform a safety check before
each use to make certain your Scooter operates smoothly
and safely. For details on how to perform these necessary
inspections, see the Care and Maintenance section of
this manual. Perform the following inspection prior to
using your Scooter.
Check tyre inflation, maintain at 30 p.s.i. (210 kpa)
Check all battery connections, make certain they are
serviceable and not corroded.
Check front basket is fitted correctly.
Check batteries have been fully charged.
Check operation of brakes.
It is critical that the pressure in the pneumatic tyres
is maintained at 30 p.s.i. (210 kpa) at all times. Failure to
observe this warning may result in a serious failure of the
tyre or wheel, causing serious personal injury and/or damage
to your Scooter.
Do not carry passengers on your Scooter.
Your Scooter is designed for a single occupant which
complies with legal requirements for pavement vehicles.
Carrying passengers on your Scooter may result in personal
injury and/or property damage.
Your Scooter is designed for a maximum user weight limit of
136kg (300lbs).
Exceeding the weight limit will void your warranty
and may result in personal injury and damage to your
scooter. We will not be held responsible for injuries
and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe
these weight limitations. Please also remember when
carrying heavy objects that this will increase your total
weight and may make your Scooter unstable.
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility
of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping
include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering
angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven surfaces,
inclined surfaces (such as heavily cambered pavements),
riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction
(such as passing from grass areas to a paved area - especially
at high speed while turning), and abrupt directional changes.
Do not corner at high speed! If you feel that you may tip
over in a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle to
prevent your Scooter from tipping.
When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When
using your Scooter at higher speeds, anticipate

prevent your Scooter from tipping.
Warning:
Changes in the road surface. This will greatly reduce the
possibility of a tip or fall. To avoid personal injury or
property damage, always exercise common sense when
cornering.
Your Scooter is equipped with one powerful brake
system:
Electric/Mechanical Disc Park Brake: Located on the end of
your drive motor it activates mechanically after the
regenerative brake slows your Scooter to a near stop, or
when power is removed from the drive system for any reason,
as in the case of switching your machine off!
Brake engagement is far more abrupt at higher speeds. It is
important that you anticipate when the brakes will engage
and that you are braced for the resulting deceleration.
Your Scooter can decelerate very quickly. Do not
decelerate or turn abruptly when traveling at high speed
unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary to decelerate or
turn abruptly when driving at high speed, brace yourself by
gripping the steering handlebar tightly and positioning your
feet firmly on the floorboard. Users who cannot grip the
handlebar tightly and/or place their feet firmly against the
footboard should avoid deceleration from or turning abruptly
at high speed, and therefore should avoid travelling at high
speed. Failure to observe this warning could result in serious
personal injury and property damage. Always brace yourself
firmly when decelerating your Scooter.
Your Scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under
normal driving conditions i.e. dry, level surfaces composed
of concrete or asphalt. However we recognize that
there will be times when you will encounter other surfaces
such as packed soil, grass and gravel. These surfaces may not
be sound and fail to give good traction, caution should be
considered before driving on this tyre of surface to prevent
stability problems resulting in injury or damage to your Scooter.
Reduce your Scooters speed when driving on uneven
terrain or soft surfaces.
Avoid long and unsafe grass that can become tangles in
the running gear or may hide debris and holes.
Avoid snow, this can quickly build up around your wheels.
Avoid loosely packed sand and gravel.
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, please
anticipate and avoid that surface.
Your Scooter has not been designed for operation
on public streets and roads. It is designed for operation on
pedestrian pavements and traffic free shopping areas.
Your Scooter must be driven with due care and compliance
with the Road Traffic Acts and conditions of the Highway
BRAKING
Warning:
Never drive down slopes at full speed, always adjust your
speed to the driving condition and allow for gradual
descents on inclines.
