GENERAL
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owner’s manual and the Consumer Safety Guide.
Your scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to
increase mobility. We provide an extensive variety of products to best fi t the
individual needs of the scooter user. Please be aware that the fi nal selection
and purchasing decision regarding the type of scooter to be used is the
responsibility of the scooter user, who is capable of making such a decision
and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist,
etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility
device expert has properly fi tted the scooter to the user and has assisted the
prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Provider in the
instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the
scooter user will need to practice operating the scooter in the presence of a
trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defi ned as a family member or
care professional specially trained in assisting a scooter user in various
daily living activities.
As you begin using your scooter during daily activities, you will probably
encounter situations in which you will need some practice. Simply take your
time and you will soon be in full and confi dent control as you maneuver
through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate
terrain.
Additional general information can be found on the supplemental information
sheets and booklets included in your Owner’s Package. Please fully read and
review the information, and keep it readily available for future reference.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will
help you become accustomed to operating the scooter safely.
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. We recommend that
you perform a safety check before each use to make sure your scooter operates
smoothly and safely.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:
- Check the condition of the tires. Make sure they are not damaged or excessively worn.
- Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
- Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly.
- Check the brakes to ensure they operate properly.
- Check the battery condition meter to ensure the batteries are fully charged.
- Ensure the manual freewheel lever is in drive mode before sitting on the scooter.
- Prior to riding your scooter, especially after storage, squeeze the handbrake lever fully fi ve to seven (5-7) times to confi rm proper function of the handbrake.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Provider for assistance. Please refer to the Contact Information insert in your Owner’s Package.
BRAKING INFORMATION
Your scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems:
- Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/stop position.
- Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop or when power is removed from the system for any reason.
- (Optional) Handbrake: This lever provides you with supplemental stopping power. See II. “Your Scooter.”
HANDBRAKE LEVER (IF EQUIPPED)
The handbrake lever contains hydraulic fl uid. When the lever is depressed, the
fl uid is pushed through the brake line to engage the brake pads against the
brake discs. The handbrake lever is a completely sealed unit, meaning that the
hydraulic fl uid should not leak; however, there are certain safety measures
that should be taken if the handbrake lever becomes cracked or damaged.
- Do not touch spilled material unless wearing protective equipment, such as safety goggles and gloves.
- For small spills, cover the material with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible absorbent material. Onceabsorbed, enclose the material in a plastic bag and contact your local waste disposal agency for proper disposal measures. Do not expose the material to waterways or sewers.
- If the eyes are exposed, check for and remove contact lenses. Flush eyes with cool, clean, low-pressure water while occasionally lifting and lowering the eyelids. Seek medical attention if excessive tearing, redness or pain persists.
- If the skin is exposed, remove all contaminated clothing. Wipe off excess material and wash exposed skin with soap and water. Seek medical attention if skin appears damaged or if irritation persists. Thoroughly clean contaminated clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated leather goods.
- If ingested, do not induce vomiting or give anything to drink unless directed to by a physician. Never give anything by mouth to a person who is not fully conscious. Seek medical attention immediately.
- If inhaled, move the aff ected individual to fresh air. If the aff ected individual is not breathing, immediately begin rescue breathing. If breathing is diffi cult, 100% humidifi ed oxygen should be administered by a qualifi ed individual. Seek medical attention immediately and keep the aff ected individual warm and at rest.
- If ignited, use dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide or water fog to extinguish.
WARNING! Do not modify the handbrake lever or attempt to replace the
hydraulic fl uid. If damage occurs, follow the safety information in this
section and contact your authorized provider for handbrake replacement. The
hydraulic handbrake should only be serviced or replaced by your authorized
provider.
WARNING! The handbrake contains hydraulic fl uid that can cause mild skin,
eye and nasal/ bronchial irritation. Do not attempt to adjust or service the
handbrake without proper protective equipment such as safety goggles and
gloves, and wash hands after handling.

BATTERIES AND CHARGING
BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are
sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an off -board charging
system.
- Charge your scooter’s batteries for at least 8 to 14 hours prior to using it for the first time.
- Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate
strength of your batteries using a color code. From right to left, green
indicates fully charged batteries, yellow indicates a draining charge, and red
indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See fi gure 13. To ensure
the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked while
operating your scooter at full speed on a dry, level surface. For models with
the LCD screen, please refer to the “Battery Condition Indicator” section on
page 15.
For models equipped with battery condition meter 1c, the battery condition
meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate strength of your
batteries using a color code. From right to left on the meter, green (5 LEDs)
indicates fully charged batteries, yellow (3 LEDs) a draining charge, and red
(2 LEDs) indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See figure 13. To
ensure the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked
while operating yourvehicle at full speed on a dry, level surface. When 5 LEDs
(2 red LEDs and 3 yellow LEDs) are displayed, your batteries have 10% charge
remaining.
NOTE: Battery condtion meter 1c adjusts brightness based on
environmentallighting.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the charger work?
When your scooter’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending
more electrical current to the batteries to bring up their charge. As the
batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends less and less electrical
current.
When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at
nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains
the charge on your scooter’s batteries, but does not overcharge them. Refer to
the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions.
Can I use a diff erent charger?
Chargers are selected precisely for particular applications and are especially
matched to the type, size and chemical formulation of specifi c batteries. For
the safest and most effi cient charging of your scooter’s batteries we recommend
only use of the charger supplied as original equipment with your product. Any
charging method resulting in batteries being charged individually is
especially prohibited.
What if my scooter’s batteries won’t charge?
- Ensure the red (+) and black (-) battery cables are connected properly to the battery terminals.
- Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
- Ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your
scooter’s batteries:
-
All day scooter use on a daily basis.
-
Infrequent or sporadic scooter use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your scooter’s batteries. The battery charger was designed so that it will not overcharge your scooter’s batteries. However, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not charge them on a regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation and charging. -
If you use your scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you fi nish using it for the day. Your scooter will be ready each morning. We recommend that you charge your scooter’s batteries for at least 8 to 14 hours after daily use. We recommend that you charge the batteries for an additional 4 hours after the battery charger indicates that charging is complete.
-
If you use your scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for at least 24 hours.
NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions. We recommend charging your batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery performance and battery life.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended
battery life. Keep your scooter’s batteries fully charged whenever possible.
Protect your scooter and batteries from extreme heat or cold. Batteries that
are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme
temperatures, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged,
causing unreliable performance and limited service life.
NOTE: To extend battery life, always turn off scooter and remove the key
when not in use.
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 but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on 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.
- We recommend charging your batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery performance and battery life.
- Make sure all harness connections are secured properly.
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.
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in batteries. Use only AGM or
Gel-Cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.
NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.
Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a diff erent chemical technology than that used in
car batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries (nicads) and other common battery
types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifi cally designed to provide power, drain
down their charge and then accept a relatively quick recharge.
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best
suit your scooter’s specifi c electrical demands. Fresh batteries are shipped
fully charged to our customers. During shipping, the batteries may encounter
temperature extremes that can infl uence their initial performance. Heat
diminishes the charge on the battery; cold slows the available power and
extends the time needed to recharge the battery.
It may take a few days for the temperature of your scooter’s batteries to
stabilize and adjust to their new room or ambient temperature. More
importantly, it takes a few charging cycles (partial draining followed by full
recharging) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a
deep-cycle battery’s peak performance and long life.
Follow these steps to properly break in your scooter’s new batteries for maximum effi ciency and service life:
- Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about 88% of its peak performance level.
- Operate your new scooter in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far from your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your scooter’s controls and have properly broken in your scooter’s batteries.
- Fully recharge the batteries. They should be at over 90% of their peak performance level.
- Operate your scooter again, then fully recharge the batteries again.
- After four or fi ve charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak performance level and are able to last for an extended period of time.
What about public transportation?
AGM and Gel-Cell batteries are designed for application in scooters and other
mobility vehicles. These batteries are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
approved (United States only), allowing safe transportation on aircraft,
buses, and trains, as there is no danger of spillage or leakage. We suggest
you contact the carrier’s ticket counter in advance to determine that
carrier’s specifi c requirements.
How do I change a battery in my scooter?
MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash
hands after handling.
PROHIBITED! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, chemistry
and amphour (Ah) capacity. Refer to the specifi cations table with this manual
and in themanual supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and
capacities.

STORING YOUR SCOOTER
If you plan on not using your scooter for an extended period of time, it is
best to:
- Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
- Disconnect the batteries from the scooter.
- Store your scooter in a warm, dry environment.
- Avoid storing your scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
- Although your scooter can withstand short-term storage temperatures between -40°F (-40°C) to 149°F (65°C), it is recommended that long-term storage temperatures be between -13°F (-25°C) and 122°F (50°C). Ideal storage conditions are 68°F (20°C) to 70°F (21°C) wherever possible, but we realize that is not always feasible due to diff erent climates and environments.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery can result in damage to the battery.
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged,
stored in extreme temperatures, or stored without a full charge may be
permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life.
It is recommended that you charge the scooter batteries periodically
throughout periods of prolonged storage to ensure proper performance.
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your scooter to raise
it off of the ground during periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight
off the tires and reduces the possibility of fl at spots developing on the areas
of the tires contacting the ground.
DISPOSAL OF YOUR SCOOTER
Your scooter must be disposed of according to applicable local and national
statutory regulations. Contact your local waste disposal agency or authorized
Provider for information on proper disposal of packaging, metal frame
components, plastic components, electronics, batteries, neoprene, silicone,
