moderate speed. If you are at a stop and one of the wheels is blocked by such an object, do not apply the throttle. Doing so
may result in tipping over, or abrupt acceleration, once the blocked wheel breaks free.
Maneuverability
•
Practice riding in large, open areas, free of pedestrians, vehicles, and obstacles.
•
Doorways can be a real nuisance, especially when they are spring-loaded. If possible, ask a nearby person to hold the door
open. Avoid using your feet to hold doors open while passing through them. Instead, power off the scooter and push it
through the door.
•
Always slow down before changing direction or making hard turns.
•
The TravelScoot is designed for use by one person only. Carrying passengers may affect the center of gravity and may
cause the TravelScoot to tip or fall.
•
Do not start from a standstill with the front wheel sharply turned.
•
If you tow by hand (your left hand), keep in mind you can only operate one brake (the right brake). Be sure to drive slowly
and do not lean against the backrest.
Pre-Ride Safety Check
Get to know the feel of your TravelScoot and its capabilities. We recommend you perform a safety check before each use to ensure
your TravelScoot operates smoothly and safely. Please check the following:
•
Battery connectors are connected.
•
Battery is sufficiently charged.
•
Locking pins are fully engaged.
•
Brakes are working properly.
•
Parking brakes are disengaged before use.
•
No wiring is wrapped around the steering column.
The TravelScoot is a handicapped mobility device. As such, you are permitted to use it wherever pedestrian traffic is permitted.
Before driving on public streets, be sure to check local laws as regulations may vary.
Indoor Use
In general, you are permitted to use the TravelScoot inside buildings such as airports, shopping malls, stores, theatres, etc.
However, you are obligated to adjust your speed to match walking traffic. Do not ride on escalators!
Outdoor Use
You can drive across short sections of grass or gravel surfaces as long as they are level and reasonably firm. Approach them with
moderate speed. Depending on your weight, you may not be able to restart on these types of surfaces from a stop. Prolonged riding
under such conditions could quickly exhaust your battery.
The electric motor, wiring, connectors, batteries, and controls on the TravelScoot can be damaged if exposed to water. Avoid driving
through large puddles. If you cannot avoid puddles, cross them at an extremely low speed in order to avoid splashing water on the
controller and motor. Once indoors, dry your scooter with a towel and use a hairdryer to apply warm air to all electrical connections
to dry thoroughly. See the
Maintenance
section of this manual
for further maintenance.
Securing the TravelScoot
The TravelScoot does not come with a lock and key. Due to its ultra-light weight, a key would not prevent a thief from stealing the
scooter and running off with it. Any locksmith could make a key for the scooter, negating the purpose of including a lock. Therefore,
it is recommended that you buy a simple chain or cable type bicycle lock to be placed around either rear fork on the TravelScoot.
