Shoprider Scooters User Guide

Speed Controls (Fig 7)
The speed control allows you to set a speed between slow (turtle) and fast (rabbit).
Battery Level Indicator Gauge (Fig 7)
Where the needle sits, shows the amount of charge left in your batteries. The amount of
charge will only show at its true level when the scooter is in drive. Always charge the batteries
completely before beginning out on any journey.
Caution – Do not allow the gauge needle to go down completely as complete discharge of the
batteries could cause irreversible battery damage.
Horn (Fig 7)
A yellow button on top of the tiller operates the horn.
Thumb Lever Controls (Fig 7)
The left thumb lever controls the reverse and the right thumb lever controls the forward
motion. The amount of pressure applied to each lever will determine the speed the scooter
travels at up to the speed selected. Release the thumb lever and the scooter will automatically
come to a stop as the electromagnetic brake is applied to the motor.
On/Off Key Switch (Fig 7)
Insert the key into the key switch located on top of the tiller. Turn the key and the battery
gauge needle will move. There may be a slight delay before the thumb lever control can be
operated, while the main controller checks the circuits.
Electromagnetic Brake
The brake is automatically operated when the thumb control levers are pressed or released.
There is a slight delay when the scooter accelerates and decelerates; this allows the scooter to
TE-GK9 smoothly and come to a smooth stop.
6. DRIVE/FREEWHEEL OPERATION (FIG 8)
The drive/freewheel lever (yellow handle) is located under the seat at the left rear of unit. This
lever allows you to disengage the drive mechanism and push the scooter while in freewheel
mode. To disengage the drive mechanism (neutral), move the lever forward (the scooter can
now be pushed). To re-engage the drive mechanism (drive), move the lever backward (now
the unit may be driven).
Note: The scooter will not operate while the drive/freewheel lever is in the neutral position
(forward). The scooter must be turned off, lever moved backward (drive position) and then
turned on in order to reset the circuits.
WARNING! Always re-engage Freewheel lever after use. Failure to do so may result in injury.
