DISASSEMBLY 

 

You can disassemble the scooter into several pieces: the seat, the main section, the rear 
shroud, the battery shroud and the batteries. 
 
No tools are required to disassemble or assemble your scooter, but keep in mind 
that the disassembled sections of the scooter take up more floor space than the assembled 
unit. Always disassemble or assemble your scooter on a level, dry surface with sufficient 
room for you to work and move around your scooter

– about 2 meters (6.6 feet) in all 

directions. Remember that some scooter components are heavy and you may 

need 

assistance when lifting them. 

 

WARNING! Do not lift beyond your physical capability. Ask for assistance when 
necessary while disassembling or assembling your scooter. 

 

STEPS TO DISASSEMBLE THE GATSBY SCOOTER: 

1. Remove the seat by lifting it straight up and off of the scooter. If you encounter resistance 

when removing the seat, disengage the seat rotation lever and swivel the seat back and 
forth while lifting up on the seat (See picture below). 

  3. Remove the battery shroud. 

3. Gently pull the battery shroud up and off of the scooter. 
4. Disconnect the battery tie-down strap. 
5. Unplug both battery harnesses by pulling each harness out of its mating plug.  
    (See picture below). 
6. Remove the batteries from the battery wells.
