Driving your Scooter
The scooter features a variable twist ·throttle on the right handlebar. Gently
twist the throttle grip inward to slowly accelerate to the desired speed.
Avoid twisting too hard or too quickly, as this may result in jumps in
acceleration, making steering less controllable.
To slow or stop your scooter, release the throttle and squeeze both brake
levers to apply both front and rear brakes. Always apply both brakes at the
same time, especially when traveling at higher speeds. Please note that the
electric braking function of your scooter will prevent the motor from starting
if the brakes are applied.
The scooter features control switches next to the throttle grip that adjust
driving features. The upper switch, labeled 1-3, sets the current speed
setting of the scooter. (Setting approximate speed: [1] – 4mph, [2] – 8mph,
[3] – 15mph).
Drive with care on wet/slippery/icy surfaces as it will increase the distance
needed to stop, allow extra room for braking in these conditions. When driving
downhill it is recommended to release the
throttle to apply brakes as needed to control the scooter’s speed.

The DJD features an alarm system that is controlled with the included ignition
fob. This built-in security alarm is movement-sensitive, and once activated,
it will sound the scootes alarm if your scooter is moved.

Safety Inspection List
BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE and periodically after, check the following:
-
Brakes:
-
Do electric brakes correctly bring the scooter to a stop when the throttle is released?
Tires
- Are they properly inflated? (10PSI. Operaing Pressure; 24PSI. Maximum to Seat Beads)
- Are the tires in good condition?
Lights
- Do the tum signals function properly?
- Does the headlight function properly?
Steering Handle
- Does it tum freely?
General
- Are there any loose parts, nuts, bolts etc?
- Any issues found should be addressed before riding the scooter!
Charging your Scoote
Avoid dropping your charger and keep away from moisture & cold temperatures!
Your scooter will only charge and operate with the breaker in the ON position!
Your scooter requires a full charge before your first use. To maintain the
batteries life, charge after each use and don’t allow the battery to empty
completely. Locate the charging port, open and insert the correct end of the
charger into the scooter, then the other into an outlet. The light on the
charger will illuminate Red and Red while charging and will tum Red and Green
when charging is complete. (Approx. 8-10hours)
Please note: that your charger may become wann or emit sound during charging, this is nonnal. Oppositely if it doesn’t, this does not indicate a problem with your charger.
Battery
The battery in your scooter requires regular charging, even when not in use,
to maintain its life. The maintenance charge should be perfonned at least once
every two months if no other charging has occurred. If storing the scooter for
an extended period of time, such as during winter, ensure that it is
accessible to perfonn the required maintenance charging.
All batteries are affected by outside temperature. The battery will discharge
faster at lower temperatures, resulting in a shorter trip time. Prolonged
exposure to subzero temperatures may result in damage to the battery. The
speed the scooter is driven at will directly affect the range and battery life
of each ride. The faster the scooter is driven the shorter total ride time
will be. Lower speeds will provide the best battery perfonnance. Avoid contact
with flames, alkaline materials and direct prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Always charge your battery with the included charger, do not substitute with a
different charger. For best results, charge after use and avoid completely
draining the battery.
Tires
The condition of your tires not only directly affects the ability to drive
your scooter but also its general performance. Replace worn tires as
necessary, please contact customer service to inquire about placing an order.
In the event your tire is unable to hold air. Check it for any cuts or
punctures. In the event of a puncture the tire can be repaired at home with a
basic patch kit for tubeless tires, or by a shop that repairs tires. In the
event that there is a cut or greater damage to your tire(s) replacement parts
are available to order, please contact customer service.
The tread on the tires is crucial to the scooter’s handling and safety. Worn
out treads will reduce the grip between the tire and the driving surface
resulting in less co ntrol and possible accidents.&.
Brake Adjustment
If you want to adjust the sensitivity of the brakes, please follow these
steps:
- Locate the nuts inside the brakes, usually found in the cirded position as shown in the provided picture.
- Using appropriate tools, carefully adjust the nuts. Clockwise usually tightens the brakes, while counterclockwise loosens them.
- Pay close attention to adjust each wheel individually for consistent braking sensitivity and to prevent imbalance.
- Test the brakes after adjustment to ensure they respond appropriately
VIN Position
The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) location on a mobility scooter is
typically under the scooter’s tiller, as indicated by tine orange marking in
the provided image. Remove the plastic cover plate using tools, and you’ll
find the VIN stamped on the scooter’s frame.
Lubrication
This vehicle is designed with a differential motor for the rear axle and
the gearbox needs lubrication with the gear oil.This should be changed every
2-3 years under normal driving conditions or if stored for an extended period
of time.
Cleaning
To clean your scooter use a damp cloth with a neutral soap to wipe dean surfaces. Avoid high pressure or excess water as this may cause corrosion or shorts in electrical components
