Transport and Storage The Paris is designed to be quickly and easily disassembled without tools into sections for transportation and storage: Guidelines for Disassembly Follow the following for the easy disassembly of your scooter: (Ensure the scooter is switched off before disassembling) 1.
Batteries and Battery Chargers Batteries Charge the batteries completely (8-12 hours) prior to first use. The Paris is supplied with a closed battery pack which contains two 21 Amp, 12 Volt sealed lead acid batteries#. The battery pack is situated under the front of the seat and can be removed by lifting them away from the chassis.* Low temperatures, rough terrain and the weight of the user can affect battery performance.
Continued….. Battery Charger The battery charger is a 3-amp switch type off board. The battery charging port is located on the battery pack (Fig. 11). This special feature allows the batteries to be charged independently of the main scooter. Before using our scooter for the first time be sure to fully charge the batteries, this may take up to 12 hours.
