Transporting your Scooter 
 

WARNING!

 

 
 

 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
By Car

 

-

 

To transport your disassembled scooter by car, place each of the 

components into the trunk, being careful not to scratch or mark any of the 
finished surfaces. Make sure the batteries are on a level spot in your trunk. 
If you need assistance lifting weights, consider asking Electric Mobility’s 
Customer Service Department or your authorized service center about the 
Rascal Electric Trunk Lift or other accessories. These devices will assist 

you in transporting your scooter by transferring these components in and 
out of your trunk with very little effort or carrying the Rascal inside a van 
or behind your car. (See “Specifications” for more information on weights). 
 
By Airplane - To transport your unit on an airplane, we recommend that 
you call your airline and notify them at booking or at least 24 hours in 

advance to ensure to tell them you are bringing a scooter. Your Rascal 
batteries are approved for airline travel. Ask specifically where and with 
whom you should drop the unit off and where and with whom you should 
retrieve it at your destination. 
 

Remember to bring this manual with you as a reference on your trip. Your 
manual will assist you in disassembling and reassembling your unit if 
required.  
Prior to leaving the airport, remember to test the unit out when first 
getting on it.  Direct any questions to the airline personnel if the unit does 

not work as it did prior to transportation.  
 
If traveling outside of the United States, you may require a different plug 
adapter for your charger. Customer Service or your authorized service 
center can help you answer these questions and supply you with the 
charger or adapter you require. 

 
 
 
 
 

 

This scooter DOES NOT meet the Federal Safety Standards for use as motor 
vehicle seating.  DO NOT SIT or PERMIT anyone else to sit in the seat of your 
scooter during transportation in a motor vehicle as this poses a significant RISK 
of BODILY INJURY or even DEATH.
