Section 1: Important Information
1.1) About this Manual
Why you should read this manual:
This manual was written to help you understand the operation and maintenance of your vehicle.
It’s important for you to understand your new scooter, its features and its operation, so that, from
your first ride, you get the most from your new scooter and keep it maintained for optimum
performance and safety.
It is also important that your first ride on a new scooter is taken in a controlled
environment
,
away from vehicles,
obstacles
and other hazards.
Even if you have
previous experience
with motorized scooters,
vehicles
, bikes, or the like, you
probably need an update of your scooting
habits
,
knowledge
and assumptions. There are many
changes in
technologies
and
construction
which can affect
function
, handling, performance and
safety of your scooter/kart.
General Warning:
Scooting can be a hazardous activity even under the best of circumstances.
Proper
maintenance of your scooter/kart is your responsibility as it helps reduce the risk of
injury. This manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the possible conse-
quences of failure to follow instructions, perform maintenance, or inspect your scooter. Any fall
can result in serious injury or even death, so operating within the guidelines outlined in this
manual will help reduce those risks.
Attention:
• The status of the Go-Ped® as a “motor vehicle” varies from state to state and is subject to
drivers licensing, insurance requirements and registration.
• You should check with a reliable authority in your state to see if the Go-Ped® must be
registered as a motor vehicle. Your police department or local department of motor vehicles may
be able to answer your questions or direct you to a reliable authority.
• Your insurance policies may not provide coverage for accidents involving the use of this
vehicle. To determine if coverage is provided you should contact your insurance company or
agent.
• The
recommended age
and
minimum weight
for the Go-Ped® is
16 years or older and
100 pound
s, but this is subject to the physical coordination of the rider, the ability of the rider to
wear protective gear, use good decision making ablity, and to take responsibility for their own
actions.
1.2) A SPECIAL NOTE FOR PARENTS
It’s a
tragic fact
that most children are more likely to have an accident. As a parent or
guardian
,
you bear the
responsibility
for the
activities
and
safety
of your minor child. Among these
responsibilities
are to make sure that the scooter/kart which your
child
is riding is properly fitted
to the child; that it is in good
repair
and in safe operating condition; that you and your child have
learned, understand and obey not only the applicable local motor vehicle and traffic laws, but
also the common sense rules of safe and responsible scooting. As a parent you should read this
manual and go over all key points with your child before letting your child ride the scooter/kart.

Brake levers and cables:
Make sure the cable is not frayed or kinked in any way and also
check to be sure that the cable housing ends are securely seated. An adjustment is available at

CAUTION:
Only use original equipment for your Go-Ped®. Substituting with other brands may
have unforeseen dangers that could cause damage, making your Go-Ped® perform in an unsafe
manner, causing damage, and/or personal injury.
Replacing pneumatic tires and tubes:
The tires and tubes are critical components requiring
precise reassembly to insure proper alignments. An authorized Go-Ped® dealer using OEM parts
should do this operation.
Warning: Completely deflate wheel before wheel disassembly. Failing to do so can
result in serious injury.
9.4) Chain tension adjustments
Proper chain care and maintenance is essential to longevity and wear of the drive components
on your chain drive scooter.
• Make sure that the sprockets are perfectly aligned to each other. Use a long straight edge or
you can check this visually by lining up the rear sprocket with the front and seeing that the chain
is straight.
• For scooters equipped with a pivoting motor mount chain tension adjustment:
The motor mount
on units with a pivoting motor mount allows chain tension adjustment to accommodate chain
stretch and/or sprocket wear. To adjust the motor mount simply loosen the two 3/8 nylock nuts
located on the right side of the scooter and pivot the motor mount forward until the specified
chain tension is achieved (
see illustration).
Once the desired tension is achieved, retighten the
3/8 nuts. Failure to keep the chain properly adjusted will result in premature sprocket and chain
wear.
CAUTION
: Tightening more than necessary will cause your drive components to wear
prematurely and add performance reducing drive system friction.
• The chain should be lubricated before each ride.
NOTE:
Use high grade dirt bike non o-ring
chain lube.
