Operating your Scooter

Braking

To bring the scooter to a standstill simply let go of the throttle control lever.

Remember to keep your hands on the handlebars whilst the scooter is braking.

Two types of braking are used.

(a)Automatic regenerative braking, which slows the scooter to a stop.

(b)Automatic braking which will operate a couple of seconds after releasing the control lever and holds the scooter in position, even if you are on a hill.

Note: Automatic braking is not instantaneous and will engage within 1/2 a wheel turn once the scooter has stopped.

Emergency Braking

In the unlikely event of an unwanted movement of the scooter, switching off the On-Off switch will bring the scooter to a stop.

Though very effective, emergency braking is extremely abrupt and must never be used under normal circumstances.

Letting go of the throttle lever will slow the scooter to a controlled stop.

Switching off

The scooter must always be switched off at the On-Off switch.

When the scooter is stowed or not in use for a long period of time, always take the battery pack off and ensure it is fully charged and stored out of freezing conditions i.e. greater than 0°C.
