• The product is equipped with a lithium-ion battery. Do not disassemble internal parts of the battery.
• This scooter is intended for use on pavements only. Do not use on roads.
• Speeds for driving on the pavement are capped by UK law at 6 km/h (4 mph). This is the pre-set maximum speed of the ‘Slow’ setting of your scooter Do not use the other speed settings (medium / fast) unless on private property.
• Do not drive up very sharp slopes. Do not drive over 300m on slopes with an incline above 9 degrees.
• The control system will cut off the power if the limited angle has been exceeded. If this happens restart the power. Do not operate when drinking alcohol. Avoid driving the scooter when fatigued or at night time
• Switch off the power when not in use. Do not use the scooter as a seat on a moving vehicle.
• The scooter can be safely used in parks and on grass, but avoid driving on ground that is so uneven as to destabilise the scooter.

CONTROL PANEL|

REMOTE CONTROL

HORN

The beeping sound is activated when the horn button is pressed and held down.

HANDLEBAR SET

The handle bar set includes the Control Panel (pictured below with LCD display of battery power, speed, distance driven, temperature, key switch, speed controller and horn), the delta handle, and the directional control lever.
Note: The humidity of the surrounding environment can significantly affect operational function. Staying in low moisture surroundings during operation is highly recommended.

POWER SWITCH

1. Power is on after the key is inserted and turned clockwise. The scooter is now ready to go.
2. Power is off if the key is turned anti-clockwise, and the scooter cannot be operated. Turn the power off with the key once the scooter has finished folding.
   Warning: The scooter will immediately stop if the power is switched off while driving, due to the electromagnetic braking system.

SPEED DIAL

Adjust your driving speed using the dial. With speed ranging from 0 to 6 km/h, turn towards the picture of a turtle to slow down, or towards the hare to speed up.
Warning: Always keep the speed setting low when turning or reversing.

LCD DISPLAY

Battery power, voltage, mileage, speed and temperature are shown on the LCD screen while power is turned on.

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL LEVER

1. Gently hold the delta handle with both hands.
2. Move the scooter forward by pulling the lever on the right with your fingers.
3. Move the scooter backwards by pulling the lever on the left.
4. A beeping sound will be emitted when the scooter moves backwards.
5. The control lever automatically moves to the centre position when released and the brake is then applied.

TELESCOPIC HANDLE

To adjust the height of the steering column, pull up the plastic clipper, then push the clipper back down at the desired length.

MANUAL MODE LEVER

Turning manual mode on and off can be done by switching the lever for manual or electric control. Manual mode can be used if the scooter has run out of battery, or if the key has been misplaced, and the scooter needs to be moved.

Electric Control mode:
Pull back the manual brake lever to OFF for electric control. This will enable the electromagnetic brakes.

Manual Control mode:
Push the manual mode lever forward to ON for manual control. This will disable the electromagnetic brakes.
Note: If the manual mode lever is set to ON while the scooter is turned on, it will emit an audio alert. This is because the electromagnetic brakes are disabled, and the unit should not be driven in this condition.

UNFOLDING AND FOLDING

• The scooter is designed to fold and unfold in three separate ways, which may be more or less suitable depending on the circumstances.
• If your scooter is fitted with the optional armrests, on refolding the scooter using the remote, the front wheels may lift off the ground due to the additional weight.
• To rectify this, push down on the front wheels once they are a few inches off the ground.
• The ways of folding and unfolding your scooter are:
  1. Automatic
  2. Electric Switch

ELECTRIC SWITCH
This mode can be used if the remote key fob has been misplaced, is malfunctioning, or is out of battery. Use the switch located on the back of the scooter, by the batteries. Make sure the key is inserted and the power switch turned to ON before using the electric switch.

BATTERY AND CHARGING INFORMATION

The scooter is designed for long, maintenance-free usage of the Lithium Ion battery, and to be charged with the 29.4V 2A charger provided.

• Fully charging the battery (charging for more than 12 hours) is good for the battery life.
• Charge it fully at least once every 3 months.
• If you won’t be using your scooter for a long period of time, fully charge the battery and take it out of the scooter for storage.

HOW TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY

IN USE CHARGING

1. Power off the scooter.
2. Open the cover of the charger cap, then insert the charger plug into the charge port of the scooter.
3. Connect the A/C power plug of the charger to a power outlet.
4. When the green light is displayed on the charger the charger is powered up.
5. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged. Disconnect the AC power source before disconnecting the DC charging plug.
6. The charger will show a red light when the scooter is connected to the charger. If it is not on, please check if the power connection is set properly.
7. Full charge time is around 8 – 14 hours.
   WARNING: Make sure the charger plug is fully plugged into the charging port of the scooter.

MANUALLY CHARGING

• The batteries can be charged away from the scooter, or the charger can be plugged directly into the scooter with the batteries inserted.
• To charge the scooter directly, connect the adaptor lead to the end of the charger and plug into the socket at the back of the scooter as seen above.
  1. To remove the battery, grab the battery handle at the rear of the scooter, push forwards and pull upwards at the same time.
  2. To replace the battery, place it back into the dock and push down until flat. Turn the key switch to the OFF position.
  3. Then open the charging socket on the rear of the scooter and insert the plug.
  4. To charge the battery directly, remove the battery from the dock and plug the converter cable (pictured below) into the miniature charging port on the battery (also pictured below), then plug the charging cable into the end of the converter cable, and into a power outlet.

CHARGING LIGHTS
There are two LED lights on the charger. The red light indicates whether the battery is connected to a power outlet. The other light is the charging status indicator, which shows the battery is charging when red.
Warning: The charger provided is the only one designed for the scooter’s battery. We strongly suggest you do not use any other type of charger from other manufacturers.

HOW TO REACH MAXIMUM DRIVING DISTANCE

1. Make sure you have a full charge before driving
2. Try to avoid driving up steep hills, gravel or soft terrain
3. Only carry necessities to reduce the load of the scooter
4. Drive smoothly and without intermittent braking and sharp acceleration.
   Warning: Do not take the battery apart. Misuse of the battery that causes damage will void the warranty.
   Note: Initial battery performance may be reduced due to the effects of transportation, such as temperature variation. A high temperature causes battery power loss, while low temperatures lead to a longer charging time. It will take a few days for the battery to adapt to the environmental temperature before settling to normal levels after transportation.

STEPS TO IMPROVE THE BATTERY PERFORMANCE

1. Make sure to charge the battery fully before first use.  This should result in around 80% efficiency
2. Always charge the battery fully after using. Keep to lower speeds if using for the first time
3. Charging battery fully after the second time driving the scooter will increase efficiency to 90%.
4. After 4 or 5 full charges, the efficiency will reach 100%

TROUBLESHOOTING

The following key below indicates some errors that can be assessed through observation. If the problem persists, despite our advised resolution, consult a qualified individual.
