How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?

Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions—smooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves. Often, you will face hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of which affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per battery charge.

!Always fully charge your scooter’s batteries prior to daily use.

!Maintain 30-35 psi in each tire.

!Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible.

!Limit your baggage weight to essential items.

!Try to maintain an even speed while your scooter is in motion.

!Avoid stop-and-go driving.

What type and size of battery should I use?

We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep- cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.

NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.

WARNING! Corrosive chemicals contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.

To change a battery in your scooter:

WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

1.Remove the seat and rear shroud.

2.Disconnect the battery tie-down strap.

3.Disconnect the battery harness.

4.Disconnect the battery cables from the battery terminals.

5.Remove the old battery.

6.Place a new battery in the battery well.

7.Connect the red battery cable to the positive (+) battery terminal.

8.Connect the black battery cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

9.Reconnect the battery harness.

10.Reconnect the battery tie-down strap.

11.Reinstall the rear shroud and seat.

NOTE: If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and call your authorized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal.
