Ensure that the charger is removed from
the mains and the scooter or battery pack
after charging. Failure to do this may
flatten the battery.
Do not remove the battery pack whilst the
scooter is switched on.
Suggestions
1. Do not disconnect the charger cord until
charging is completed and the light it lit
Green.
2. When fully charged the battery charger
will still trickle charge the battery for
optimum range.
3. Even when not in use, the scooter should
be charged at least every week to
ensure battery longevity.
4. Ambient temperature will effect
charging time. Charging time will be
longer in cold environments.
5. The batteries carry a 1 year warranty
which covers manufacturing defects
only. It does not cover battery faults as
result of not following the guidelines
herein.
Warning
1. Only use the charger supplied with the
scooter. Using the wrong type of
charger may cause damage. Never
disassemble or modify the scooter.
2. Always charge the scooter in a well
ventilated space. Avoid direct sunlight
or contact with water and moisture.
3. Do Not charge or operate the scooter in
temperatures below -10ºC or above
50ºC. Do not expose the battery pack
to these temperatures.
About the Battery Pack

The batteries are sealed lead acid type and are
maintenance free and are non-spillable. They are
fitted with spade terminals.

Warning
If battery pack loses contact with the
scooter during operation switch the key
ignition off, re-insert the battery pack and
switch the ignition back on.
Battery Care
1. You should recharge the batteries after each
time the scooter is used to ensure maximum
battery range. The batteries should be charged
at least once a week even if the scooter is not
used.
2. After charging or replacing a new battery,
drive the scooter for a short period to ensure
battery capacity is sufficient.
3. In cold environment, the battery may respond
more slowly and range will be reduced.
4. When driving on a gradient, the battery gauge
will fluctuate. This is a normal occurrence.
5. Battery range is reduced when driving up
gradients or on rough terrain, as the scooter
uses more power.
6. The batteries should not be charged for more
than 24 hours.
Battery Replacement
It is natural for the battery capacity to reduce with
time, even if the battery is charged as directed above.
When the battery range is about half of its peak
performance we recommend that the batteries are
changed. Continuing to use an old battery will result in
a rapid reduction in the range of the scooter and can
cause excessive wear and tear on other parts of the
scooter.
