7 RIDING
The scooter can be accelerated using the throttle grip or impulse drive. The SCROOSER is fitted with
a powerful 500 W electric motor, so always ride with care. After turning the SCROOSER on (figure
8), slowly twist the throttle grip (located on the right-hand side) downwards. The SCROOSER will
start to move.
Engaging the brakes cuts out the motor.
By law, using the impulse drive in S, C and E modes is not allowed. You must remain seated while
riding your Scrooser if the impulse drive is engaged. Please check your local laws to ensure you
are following proper riding procedures. In the H mode, the impulse drive is deactivated. Standing
while riding your SCROOSER on public roads is not permitted. Please always consult your local
authorities for clarification.
Caution: the impulse drive may be inadvertently activated on descents or uneven roads, causing the
SCROOSER to accelerate. To stop the impulse drive, simply activate the brakes at any time. You can
also switch to H mode to avoid it. In H mode, the impulse drive is deactivated.
When riding the SCROOSER with the impulse drive, the electronic control detects when the rider
pushes with their foot to accelerate (physical impulse, from 4 km/h) and adds an extra boost.
The SCROOSER’s electronic control is fitted with overload protection. If you ascend on inclines with
a gradient over 5% from a standing start without pushing with your foot, the overload protection
may turn off the motor. If that happens, you need to restart the SCROOSER in the usual way.
During prolonged ascents, the control unit may become very warm. If that happens, the power
will automatically be reduced by approx. 30 percent. After the control unit has cooled down, the
full power will be available once again. During prolonged descents, the control unit may turn
off completely to prevent it from becoming damaged. If that happens, you need to restart the
SCROOSER in the usual way.
How far and how long you will be able to ride using the impulse drive depends on several
factors:
- Road profile
- Road surface
- Weight of rider and load
- Amount of acceleration provided by rider
- Riding mode
In order to extend the range of the SCROOSER, we recommend using the COMFORT or ECO mode
for descents or level surfaces, and only activating SPORT mode when there is a headwind, when
you want/need to accelerate faster and/or for ascents.
You can also increase the range by regularly checking and if necessary adjusting the tire pressure
(0.9 bar) using a manometer. Switch to COMFORT mode in good time before traffic lights, junctions
or stops in general. Ride smoothly and anticipate what is ahead in order to avoid unnecessary stops.
Minimise your load and do not carry unnecessary items.

Range
Riding modes
The SCROOSER has four riding modes (figure 8): HAND, SPORT, COMFORT, ECO.
The riding modes have different levels of responsiveness and correspondingly different ranges.
HAND
– allows you to ride your SCROOSER comfortably in urban conditions
SPORT
– the most dynamic way to ride your SCROOSER using Impulse Drive
COMFORT
– a perfect compromise between high speed and long range
ECO
– optimum efficiency for maximum range (speed reduced by approx. 15%)
The modes can be selected using the left-hand button (SELECT) on the handlebar display. When
you turn the scooter on, it is set to HAND mode. Keep pressing the left-hand button to cycle through
the other modes. After you turn the scooter off, it will reset to HAND mode next time you turn it on.
The display shows: H for HAND, S for SPORT, C for COMFORT, E for ECO.

The impulse drive has three levels:
First level: the rider gently pushes with their foot. The scooter accelerates to approx. 7 km/h.
Second level: while the first level is active, the rider pushes again with their foot. The scooter
accelerates to approx. 11 km/h.
Third level: while the second level is active, the rider pushes again with their foot. The scooter
accelerates to approx. 25 km/h (to 22 km/h in ECO mode).
