Battery Pack (Fig. 6) 

 
The  battery  pack  is  specially  designed  for  easy  access  and  transportability.  The  reset 
button  is  located  on  the  battery  pack.  This  reset  button  is  designed  to  protect  the 
electronics  on  your  scooter.  If  this  button  pops  the  scooter  will  not  turn  on,  nor  operate, 
simply push button to reset. The 3-pin plug-in port is on the battery pack and serves two 
purposes; connecting batteries to scooter and charging the battery pack. The plug-in port 
also  has  a  release  button;  that  prevents  the  connections  from  coming  apart.  The  3-pin 
round  plug  is  removed  by  gently  pressing  the  release  button  while  pulling  plug  out.  The 
battery pack is held onto the unit by Velcro straps lining the bottom of the battery pack and 
unit.  

 
Scooter serial number (Fig. 7) 

The  scooter  serial  number  is  located  under  the  battery  pack.  It  is  an  alphanumeric 
combination  of  13  numbers  and  letters.  Shoprider  recommends  that  you  write  the  serial 
number down  on  the  back  of  this  manual  for  future  reference.  The  battery  pack  is  easily 
removed (refer to Fig. 6). Pull up firmly to release pack from unit.
