Frequently Asked Questions
I want to transport my vehicle in a car.
These scooters are not designed to be dismantled. If you need to regularly transport a scooter in a vehicle,
then you dealer will advise you on specialist vehicles which are designed to fold and dismantle to make it
easier to load them into a car. Your scooter can be loaded into an estate care or an MPV using ramps. Make
sure your dealer has demonstrated the easiest way of doing this.
Can I fit weatherproofing such as a canopy ?
Yes, but remember that canopies as can adversely affect stability and handling. Ask your dealer for advice.
How long will my batteries last ?
This is a difficult question as it depends on many factors. The life of a battery depends upon the number of
cycles the battery goes through, the peak loads and on the conditions of use. Some general advice about
battery care:
• Keep it charged, and do not let the battery run completely flat.
• Ensure both batteries are fully charged at the end of the charging cycle
• Batteries may not perform as well in very cold weather.
• Change your battery if you find it is not performing as well as new.
Care can prolong the life of the batteries but remember that, in time, all batteries will fail to perform to
specification.
What range can I expect ?
The generally expected range is recorded in the Technical Specification sheet. Remember, range can be
affected by many things such as:
• Temperature. Cold weather can reduce the output of the batteries.
• Type of terrain. Obviously climbing hills takes more energy than driving on the flat.
• Weight of the person.
• The condition and charge of the batteries.
• Faulty or old batteries or a faulty charger.
NB. Always use the correct charger with the correct batteries and ensure all batteries are charged before you
start out.
How long should I keep my vehicle before I change it?
It is important that the vehicle you have suits your needs and abilities. Your scooter should serve you well for
many years but change it if at any time you feel it no longer meets your needs. Consult your dealer on the
condition of your vehicle and remember vehicles of any type become more expensive to maintain the older
they get.
