Operating your Scooter

Freewheel mechanism

A freewheel device disengages the power drive to allow manual operation (Photo 6).

The freewheel is selected by operating the lever which is located at the rear of the scooter. Once freewheel has been selected, the electronic drive control system is disabled to prevent driving. This is a safety feature to prevent you driving the scooter with the parking brake disengaged.

To turn off the freewheel and engage the motor, simply push the lever forwards (Photo 6).

Note: Use extreme caution in the freewheel mode, especially on slopes/inclines. Letting go of your scooter whilst it is in freewheel, can cause the scooter to roll unexpectedly. This could cause damage or bodily harm.

Caution!

It is advisable that during the first few sessions of operating your scooter that the area around you is clear of obstacles and pedestrians.

Before operating your scooter, ensure the seat height has been adjusted to your satisfaction, and the tiller angle has been set for optimum safety and comfort.

Please see the “General Warnings”, “Getting on Your Scooter” and “Tiller Adjustment” sections earlier in this handbook.
