Operating Your Scooter
Mounting
For your first drive, make sure that you and your scooter are on a level surface.
Make sure that the unit is off before sitting on it. Make certain that both of your feet are on the deck
of the scooter.
Insert the on/off key into its key slot, but leave it turned off.
Next, turn the ‘speed adjustment dial’ to slow, and turn the ‘on/off’ key clockwise to the ‘on’
position. (The battery state indicator will move, and the red status lights will illuminate). Press the
right thumb control to move in a forward motion. To stop, simply let go; the brakes will automatically
be applied.
CAUTION: Please take care not to have your thumb on the forward/reverse control lever when you
switch ‘on’ your scooter; this will result in your scooter going into a fault mode. Switch ‘off’, then ‘on’
again, to clear the fault.
Dismounting
Always switch off your scooter before dismounting. Make sure that you dismount the unit on a level
surface.
Parking in Public
If you need to park and leave your scooter, simply remove your key. This will keep the brake on
and will make your scooter difficult to move. It is best to leave it in sight of someone (like a store
assistant, etc.) who can watch it for you. Another precaution is to note your serial number and the
date of purchase.
Your serial number can be found on the lower section of the back frame of the scooter.
Basic Driving
Make certain that you are properly sitting on your scooter. Ensure that the ‘speed control dial’ is
turned to slow for your first drive. When you have become more confident, you can increase the
setting to a higher speed. Push the ‘thumb lever control’, as described earlier. You will very gently
accelerate. Release the lever, and you will gently stop. Practice these two basic functions until you
get used to them.
Steer the scooter by turning the handlebars in the direction you wish to manoeuvre. Be sure to
remember to give a wide clearance when turning, so that the rear wheels follow the path of the
front ones, instead of cutting short. Cutting short on pavement corners can mean that a back wheel
will go off the pavement, causing a stability problem. Avoid this at all times by steering an
exaggerated, wide arc around the obstacle.
