the rear of your scooter.
PROHIBITED! Do not remove the anti-tip wheels or modify your scooter in any way that is not
authorized by Pride.
WARNING! The anti-tip wheels may cause interference with the smooth transition of your scooter

Motor/Transaxle Assembly
The motor/transaxle assembly is an electromechanical unit that converts electrical energy from your scooter’s
batteries into the controlled mechanical energy that drives the Ultimate’s wheels.
