HOW fAR WITH THE ELECTRO-DRIvE™ SCOOTER GO ON A fULL 

• 

CHARGE?

Maximum range per charge for the 500DD series scooters is 8 miles (13 
km), 750DD and 1000DD series scooters is 12 miles (19 km) and the 
Scoot-E DD is 18 miles (29 km). 

Note:

 Range per charge of the scooter depend on many variables, 

including but not limited to: riding conditions, rider weight, battery charge, 
etc. Riding at full speed will dramatically reduce your range.

WHAT IS THE TOP SPEED Of THE SCOOTER?

• 

Your Electro-Drive™ scooter will accelerate up to 15 mph (24 km/h) for 
the 500DD, 750DD and 1000DD series scooters. The Scoot-E DD series 
scooter has a variable top speed range of less than 2mph up to 10mph.

Note:

 Top speed of the scooter depend on many variables, including but 

not limited to: riding conditions, rider weight, battery charge, etc.

WHAT IS THE WEIGHT LIMIT Of MY SCOOTER?

• 

Maximum rider weight is 240 lbs, (109 kg) for the 500DD series scooters 
and 260 lbs. (118 kg) for the 750DD, 1000DD and Scoot-E DD series 
scooters; never exceed it.

CAN I RIDE MY SCOOTER IN WET CONDITIONS OR ON WET PAvEMENT?

• 

No! Riding in wet conditions can cause the rider to lose control and due 
to the possibility that water might enter the electrical components (battery 
compartment, motor, controller, etc.) causing them to fail, we strongly 
recommend you do not operate the scooter in wet conditions, through 
puddles, in snow or anywhere your scooter is likely to get wet. Currie 
Technologies

 does not recommend riding on wet conditions.

WHAT IS THE CORRECT AIR PRESSURE fOR THE TIRES?

• 

For scooters equipped with a solid tire(s) inflating the tires is not necessary. 

For scooters equipped with pneumatic tires check tire pressure imprinted 

on the sidewall of the tire. Inflate to recommended pressure as necessary.

Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum pressure 

imprinted on the sidewall
