 Modifications
Your scooter has been designed to be as
practical as possible. However, under no
circumstances should you modify, add, remove,
or disable any part or function of your scooter.
Personal injury and damage to the scooter may
result.
1. Do not modify your power scooter in any way
not authorized by Drive. Do not use
accessories if they have not been tested or
approved for Drive products.
2. Get to know the feel of your power scooter
and its capabilities. Drive recommends that
you perform a safety check before each use
to make sure your scooter operates safely.
 Inspections prior to using your power
scooter:
1. If equipped with pneumatic tyres, please
check that the tyres are inflated to the
correct pressure.
2. Please check all electrical connections and
make sure they are tight and not corroded.
3. Please check all harness connections and
make sure they are secured properly.
4. Please check the brakes.
 Weight limitation.
1. Do not exceed the weight capacity stated in
the Specification section. Exceeding the
weight capacity voids your warranty. Drive
will not be held responsible for injuries or
property damage resulting from failure to
observe weight limitations.
2. Do not carry passengers on scooters.
Carrying passengers on scooter may affect
the centre of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
 Tyre inflation
1. If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic
tyres, check the tyre pressure every week.
2. The correct tyre pressure will prolong the
life of your tyres and ensure a smooth ride.
3. Do not under-inflate or over-inflate your

tyres. It is critically important that tyre
pressure is maintained between 25 – 30 psi
(2.0 – 2.4 bar).
 Temperature
1. Some of the parts of the power scooter are
susceptible to change in temperature. The
controller can only operate in temperatures
between -25ºC ~ 50ºC.
2. At extreme low temperatures, the batteries
may freeze, and your scooter may not be
able to operate.
temperatures, it may operate at slower
speeds due to a safety feature of the
controller that prevents damage to the
motors and other electrical components.
 Freewheel Lever
The freewheel lever is located on rear right
hand corner of the scooter, and allows the
scooter to freewheel so it can be pushed or
maneuvered. The lever should always be put
back in to Drive after maneuvering.
The scooter should never be left unattended
in freewheel mode, or put in to freewheel
mode when somebody is sat on the scooter
or when the scooter is on a gradient.
Failure to do so may result in damage or
injury.
