DO: 

 

Read this manual carefully before using your scooter. 

 

Turn the power off when transferring to and from the scooter. 

 

Select a slow speed when going down gradients or over uneven ground. 

 

Keep your feet inside the scooter whilst driving. 

 

Ensure the batteries are fully charged before your journey. 

 

Avoid rough or soft terrain and long grass wherever possible. 

 

Be aware of other road users and pedestrians. 

If driving on the road you 

MUST adhere to the Highway Code. 

 

Use lights whenever necessary.

 

 

Turn the power off when not in use.

 

 

Follow the maintenance guide to ensure safe operation of the scooter.

 

 

Always remove the keys if leaving the scooter unattended. Unauthorised 
persons/children may use the scooter resulting in injury.

 

 

 

DO NOT: 

 

Carry passengers. 

 

Carry bags, luggage or walking aids on or near the tiller control other 
than in the basket provided.  

 

Exceed inclines over 8° (14%). 

 

Traverse inclines. 

 

Attempt inclines if the surface is slippery. 

 

Turn sharply at full speed. 

 

Exit or enter the scooter unless the power is switched off. 

 

Switch off the power whilst driving – this will cause the scooter to stop 
abruptly and could damage the controls. 

 

Use the scooter where you cannot safely or legally walk. 

 

Attempt to climb kerbs over 10cm (4”) high. 

 

Use the scooter in high winds (38mph+) if fitted with a canopy.

Attempt to negotiate steps or escalators. 

 

Transport the scooter with the user onboard. 

 

Attempt to tow any other devices. 

 

Exceed the stated weight limit. 

 

Connect any other devices to the batteries as this could cause permanent 
damage and void your warranty. 

 

Use any other batteries/charger other than those supplied by 

RMA.

 

 

Travel through water or over soft terrain (mud, sand etc.). 

 

Lift the scooter by the chassis covers or any plastic part. 

 

Store the scooter outdoors uncovered for any period of time. We 
recommend that the scooter is stored in a dry garage, shed or porch to 
prevent the possibility of any moisture ingress. 

 
 
Every care has been taken to ensure that your scooter will give you safe, reliable 
service provided you adhere to the advice given above.
