Brake Release / Freewheel Operation (Fig. 7 & 8) 
 

The brake release lever is situated under the 
seat at the left rear of the scooter (yellow 
lever 

Fig. 7

). This lever allows you to 

disengage the drive mechanism and push 
the scooter in ‘freewheel’ mode. To 
disengage the drive, push the knob forward 
to the ‘disengaged’ position (

Fig. 8

). The 

scooter can now be pushed. 
Simply pull the lever back to re-engage the 
drive mechanism (the scooter can now be 
driven). The scooter will not operate when 
the lever is in the disengaged position. The 
scooter must be turned off and on by the key 
switch to reset the circuits before it will 
resume normal operation. The scooter will 
bleep continually if the brake is disengaged 
when it is switched on. 
 

Caution! Never leave the scooter 
unattended whilst in freewheel mode as it 
will roll away down an incline. ‘Freewheel’ 
mode should only be used in an 
emergency to move the scooter due to 
power failure. NEVER move the scooter in 
this mode whilst it is occupied. 

 

When in freewheel mode the scooter may 
be pushed at a walking pace. The scooter 
will ‘auto-brake’ if this speed is exceeded. 

 
 
 
 
 
Starting to Drive 
 

Getting Started 
Note: You must fully charge the batteries prior to first use (see ‘Batteries 
and Charging’) 

Select an area with plenty of space. 
Mount the scooter by either lifting the arm and sliding onto the seat or swivel 
the seat around to access the scooter. 

Ensure the seat is securely locked 

in the forward facing position before driving. 

Adjust the tiller and seat if 

necessary (

see ‘Adjustments’

). 

DO NOT use the tiller to fully support you 

during transfers.
