scooter:

Such practices could cause loss of control and/or tipping.

position gives you the most control over your vehicle.

2. Remove the key from the key switch.
3. Rotate the seat to either side of the scooter and carefully and safely get out of the seat.
POWER DOWN TIMER FEATURE
Your scooter is equipped with an energy saving automatic power down timer feature designed to preserve battery
life. If you mistakenly leave the key in the "on" position, but do not use your scooter for approximately 30 minutes,
the scooter's controller shuts down automatically.
If the power down timer feature takes effect, perform the following steps to resume normal operation.
1. Remove the key from the key switch.
2. Insert the key back into the key switch.
