4.2 HOW TO OPERATE YOUR SCOOTER
Key Ignition
The key ignition acts as the power switch for the scooter. To switch the power on, turn the key clockwise
in the ignition. The power eye should illuminate.
To switch the power off, turn the key anticlockwise. The power eye should switch off and the key can be
removed if required.
Speed Dial
Turn the speed dial to determine the maximum speed of the scooter. Turn the dial clockwise to increase
the speed setting and turn the dial anticlockwise to decrease the speed setting.
Moving and Braking
Push the right-hand side of the wigwag paddle forwards with your right thumb and the scooter will move
forward.
Push the left-hand side of the wigwag paddle forward with your left thumb and the scooter will move
backward, emitting an audible reversing alarm.
To brake, release the wigwag paddle. This will return to neutral and activate the electromagnetic brake
automatically. This will bring the scooter to a prompt stop.
The wigwag paddle allows you to control the speed of the scooter up to a maximum speed determined by
the Speed Dial. The further the wigwag paddle is deflected, the faster the scooter will go.
Horn Button
Press the horn button to sound the horn. Release the button to stop the horn
Braking
Electromagnetic brake: Release the wigwag paddle completely, and the electromagnetic brake will be
activated automatically, and the scooter will stop.
The Vitesse 8 has an additional cable brake. The brake lever is located on the handlebars. To operate the
brake squeeze the brake lever.
Warning
When on a gradient NEVER set the vehicle to the freewheel mode. The electromagnetic brakes will not be
applied. This may result in injury or damage.
