Basic Driving

Operating your Scooter

1.Make sure you are properly seated on the scooter and that the Speed Control knob is turned fully to the left, towards the tortoise icon.

Note: Reverse movement of the scooter may not occur when Speed Control Dial is turned fully anti-clockwise and reversing up a slope.

2.Turn the On-Off switch or key to the On position.

3.On tiller, use the throttle lever as described earlier.

You will gently accelerate. Release and you will gently stop. Practice these two basic functions until you get used to them.

4.Steering the scooter is easy and logical. Be sure to remember to allow enough clearance when turning corners so that the rear wheels clear any obstacle.

5.Shortcutting a pavement corner can cause the back wheel to go off the pavement, causing problems, if the corner is very rough. Avoid this at all times by steering an exaggerated curve around the obstacle.

6.When steering in a tight spot, such as entering a doorway or when turning around, stop the scooter and then turn the handlebar to where you want to go, then apply power gently. This will make the scooter turn very sharply. It is also recommended that the pre-set speed is set to a slower setting to aid control in tight spots.

Exercise caution when reversing

7.Reversing requires attention.

Right hand push or left hand pull operation of the throttle lever will move the scooter in reverse.

When reversing, always turn the handelbars in the opposite direction to the way you want to go.

The more you pull the throttle lever, the faster you will go.

Reverse speed is 50% slower than forward speed. If the scooter does not move in reverse, carefuly turn the speed control knob clockwise until the scooter moves gently backwards.
