1. INTRODUCTION The TGA Vita Family – The all new Vita family from TGA is the most advanced and stylish scooters in the world. All with full suspension featuring double wishbone suspension at the front and mono shock rear giving the smoothest and most comfortable ride that you will find.
Care! Warning The Vita is easy to drive but it is essential that you familiarise yourself with the controls and learn to drive it in a safe area with sufficient room to manoeuver for your safety and that of others. The area should be free of obstacles and reasonably flat.

It is impossible to be more specific than this as every rider and different types of terrain will achieve different results. It is important to only use the Vita on short runs to start with to explore the sort of range you will be achieving.
5. The Vita is suitable for road use BUT great care must be taken and at the maximum speed of 8 mph, you may present a hazard to other faster moving road users. (See safe driving tips at the rear of this manual.) 6.
1. Before leaving the scooter, switch the ignition off, the battery indicator will then go off. Remove the ON/OFF Key for security. 2. If the Vita has been used in the Free Wheel mode (see Parking Brake Release), it is VERY IMPORTANT to re- engage the drive to ensure that the scooter brake is on before you alight.
8. After a further period of time the LED will show a solid green light advising the batteries are fully charged. 9. At this time the charger can be disconnected and the Vita is ready for use. NB At the point the green light comes on the charger will automatically stop charging although the light will still be on.
* For longest life, your batteries should be recharged after reasonable use. * If your Vita is not used for a period of time, a refreshing charge should be given every 4-6 weeks. Never leave your batteries in a discharged condition. This is particularity important to sealed batteries such as the type in your Vita.
CAUTION: Do not hose down your Vita. Water could be forced into the electronics and cause permanent damage. DO NOT store your Vita in damp conditions. This may affect the electronics if left for very long periods of time. Electronics Servicing of the drive electronics and charger should only be carried out by your local TGA service dealer.

TYRES Keep tyres at the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. They will last longer and be safer. Replace when they become worn. Soft tyres will reduce the range of your batteries. LIGHTS Check lights regularly. Use your lights frequently, at dusk onwards, on a dull or rainy day. However, remember the use of lights may reduce the range of your scooter.
