5. RIDING YOUR SCOOTER 

 

GETTING ON YOUR SCOOTER 
 

NOTE: For your first driving sessions, make certain that your scooter starts out on a level surface 
and that you will continue driving on a level surface. 
 
To get on your scooter: 

1.  Stand behind your scooter. 
2.  Make certain that the freewheel lever is in engaged position. See Fig. 8. 
3.  Pull up on the seat rotate lever.  

  NOTE: This lever is normally located on the right-hand side of the seat, but your 

scooter may be configured to have the lever positioned on either side of the seat.

 

  Once the lever is pulled up and held in the “up” position, the seat can be freely 

rotated. 

  Release the lever to lock the seat into one of the eight preset positions. 

4.  Make certain that the seat is positioned for safe and easy mounting. 
5.  Position yourself in the seat. 
6.  Use the seat rotate lever to position the seat so that it is locked in the fully forward 

direction. 

7.  Fasten your lap belt, if your scooter is so equipped. 
8.  Place the key into the key switch. 
9.  Rotate the key to the on position.  

 
 

BASIC DRIVING 
 

1. Make certain that you are seated safely and properly on your scooter. 
2. Turn the speed control dial fully counterclockwise to its slowest setting. 
3. Insert the key into the key switch—if you have not already done so. 
4. Turn the key clockwise to the “On” position.  
5. Place your hands on the handgrips. 

  If you wish to drive forward, pull back on the right side of the throttle control lever (or 

push the left side of the throttle control lever forward.) 

  If you wish to drive in reverse, pull back the left side of the throttle control lever (or push 

the right side of the throttle control lever forward.) 

6. Pull on the throttle control lever to gently accelerate your scooter. 
7. Release the throttle control lever to allow your scooter to come gently to a full stop. 
8. Practice these two basic functions until you feel that you have control of your scooter. 

 

Steering 

Steering your scooter is easy and logical. 

1. With both hands on the handgrips of the tiller, turn the tiller to the right to travel to the right. 
2. With both hands on the handgrips of the tiller, turn the tiller to the left to travel to the left. 
3. Make certain to maintain sufficient clearance when turning your scooter so that the rear 

wheels will clear any obstacle. 

 

NOTE: Turning your scooter too sharply at too high a speed may create a situation where one of 
the rear wheels will leave the ground and the possibility of tipping the scooter. Avoid this danger at 
all times by decelerating and steering a wide arc around corners and obstacles

 

Steering in a Tight Spot 

If you must steer in a tight spot, such as entering a doorway or when turning around:  

1. Bring your scooter to a full stop. 
2. Set speed at the lowest setting. 
3. Turn the tiller to the direction in which you wish to drive. 

 
Steering in Reverse 

Backing up your scooter requires attention to what you are doing:
