Driving your Scooter
The Element features a variable twist throttle on the right handlebar. (See
control diagram) Gently twist the throttle grip to slowly accelerate to the
desired speed. Avoid twisting too hard or too quickly as this may result in
jumps in accelerations making steering less controllable.
To slow or stop your scooter, release the throttle and squeeze both brake
levels to apply both front and rear brakes. Always apply both brakes at
the same time, especially when traveling at higher speeds. Please note
the electric braking function of your scooter will prevent the motor from
starting if the brakes are applied.
Drive with care on wet/slippery/icy surfaces as it will increase the distance
needed to stop, allow extra room for braking in these conditions. When
driving downhill it is recommended to release the throttle and apply
brakes as needed to control the scooter’s speed.
Your scooter features control switches next to the throttle grip that adjust
driving features. (See control diagram) The top switch labeled 1-3 sets
the current speed setting of the scooter. The lowest switch marked with D
& R, controls the direction of motion for your scooter.
Bring your scooter
to a complete stop before switching between forward and reverse.
(D for Drive to go forward and R for Reverse to move backwards)
The brake lever also features a parking brake option. Once stopped you
can apply the parking brake by squeezing the brake normally and then
pressing in the parking brake button. (See control diagram) To release the
parking brake simply squeeze the brake lever again. Always attempt to
park on a level surface if possible.
