Use and Care Manual

Caution!
Take care not to short circuit the battery terminals. Remove all
conductive jewelry (e.g. watches, necklaces etc.) before checking the
batteries.
9. Following all the eight points above should result in a healthier
battery, greater range for the vehicle user and a longer life for your
batteries.
The range of your vehicle
Most manufacturers of mobility products state the range of their
vehicles either in the sales literature or within the Owner’s Manual.
The range stated sometimes differs from manufacturer to
manufacturer even though the battery size is the same. We measure the
range of our vehicles in a consistent and uniform manner, but variances
still occur due to motor efficiencies and overall product load weight.
The range figures are calculated to I.S.O. Standard 7176, Part 4:
Scooter Energy Consumption Theoretical Range.
The range figures stated should be seen as a theoretical maximum
and could be reduced if any single, or combination, of the following
circumstances occur:
1. User weight heavier than 120kg.
2. Batteries whose age and condition are less than perfect.
3. The terrain is difficult or unsuitable e.g. very hilly, sloping, muddy
ground, gravel, grass, snow and ice.
4. The vehicle climbs ramps regularly.
5. The ambient temperature is very hot or very cold.
6. Damage occurring to one or more tyres.
7. Lots of start/stop driving.
8. Also thick pile carpets within the home can affect range.
Always check that the batteries are sufficiently charged before setting
off.
Always ensure that your batteries are in good condition and that no
leakage has occurred.
Do not expose any part of your charger, battery or scooter to direct
heat (i.e. gas fires or naked flame).
Note: If you are out on your scooter and the battery gauge is reading
low the remaining range can be increased slightly by decreasing the
maximum available speed.
