Always fully charge your scooter's batteries prior to daily use.
Maintain 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) in each tyre.
Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken or soft surfaces as possible.
Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
Try to maintain an even speed while your scooter is in motion.
Avoid stop-and-go driving.
What type and size of battery should I use?
We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-
cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell
batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.
NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.
How do I change a battery in my scooter?
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not mix or match new and old

both batteries. Refer to specifications table in this manual and the manual supplied with
