Battery Info for Foreign Travel
The TravelScoot
’s
lithium-ion battery charger is universal, and will operate on 100-200 VAC, 50/60 Hz. This allows it to be used
internationally in conjunction with a plug adaptor which can be purchased as an accessory.
Battery Tips
•
Disconnect the battery when not using your TravelScoot.
•
Do not expose battery to excessive heat or cold.
•
Avoid excessive exposure to water.
•
Do not drop.
•
If the battery is completely discharged, plug it in for 8 hours.
•
Store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use.
•
Monitor the battery indicator lights, located on the throttle, to best gauge your personal battery consumption. Remember
that each light represents 1/3
of the battery’s total charge. Consumption will vary depending on how much you travel on
uneven terrain.
•
If possible, try to avoid total discharge of the battery. Repeatedly fully draining the battery can shorten its lifespan.
Getting On and Off your TravelScoot
Before getting on or off your scooter, please ensure that the parking brakes are engaged and the power is off. Be sure to center
your weight on the TravelScoot for support if you are getting on or off.
Operating your TravelScoot
Plug in the Battery
Plug the battery connector into the black plastic receptacle at the front of the left-rear wheel fork (unplug by pressing both sides
of the battery connector).
On/Off Switch and Forward/Reverse Selector
Throttle
The throttle is located on the inside half of the right-hand grip. To get used to operating the throttle, turn the twist-grip slowly and
smoothly, similar to a motorcycle. Turning the throttle too quickly can result in unexpected acceleration or even tipping over. The
throttle on the TravelScoot has an electronic delay from the moment you turn until power is applied. This safety feature prevents
uncontrolled acceleration.
The TravelScoot features battery charge indicator lights, located on the throttle display. There are two green lights and one red
light, each light representing
1/3 of the battery’s total charge.
It is a good idea to monitor how soon each light goes out so as to better
estimate how long your battery will last. Keep in mind that the terrain over which you travel will greatly determine overall mileage.
The On/Off switch and forward/reverse selector are found on the left handlebar. To turn the
scooter on, simply press the red button. Repeat to turn the scooter off.
As a safety measure, always check the forward/reverse selector to ensure you are traveling in
the desired direction before engaging the throttle. Position the selector upwards to go forwards,
and downwards to go backwards.
