pull both levers at once. Note. The controls can be 
changed for customers with a left-hand bias. Please 
contact your local dealer for information.

7. Lighting:

 This rocker switch controls the front 

and rear LED lights fitted to your scooter. When the 
lights are switched on, the switch will illuminate and 
the front and rear position lights will be illuminated. 
Switch off the lights by actuating the switch. The 
switch backlight will extinguish.

Charging Point:

 The charging point is situated on 

the side of the tiller head. (see Battery Charging 
section of this manual for further details)

Freewheel Device

8

When the vehicle is switched off the brakes are 
automatically engaged. This is called “Failsafe 
Braking”. Also, if the batteries are flat, the brakes 
are automatically applied. There may be occasions 
where you may wish to move the vehicle without 
power. To do this there is a Freewheel Device fitted.

The Freewheel device (Fig.8) allows the vehicle to be 
pushed without power. To activate, first locate the 
lever. When standing behind the scooter, it is located 
on the right hand side of the rear of the vehicle - 
See Illustration.

•  Make sure the On/Off (ignition) key is in the off 
position.
•  Move the lever 

UP

 The vehicle can now be 

pushed in Freewheel.
•  Move the lever 

DOWN

 to engage drive. The 

vehicle is now braked. This is the normal operating 
position.

•  IF YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY SURE OF 
THIS FEATURE CONTACT YOUR DEALER 
BEFORE OPERATING THE SCOOTER.

NOTE:

 To avoid excessive strain on the tiller / 

handlebar assembly, never push or pull the scooter 
in freewheel mode if a user is on-board. Pull the 
lever 

UPWARDS

 to engage freewheel mode (no 

brakes - caution). Push the lever 

DOWNWARDS

 to 

engage Drive mode.

Warning:

 If the freewheel device is in “freewheel” 

mode, the braking is disabled. Never select the  
freewheel mode if the Scooter is on a slope or could 
be pushed onto a slope. 

Brakes

There are 2 braking systems. The first works with 
the finger controls. When the finger control is 
released the scooter will automatically brake and 
bring the scooter to a stop. When the scooter stops 
the automatic brake will engage. This will stop the 
vehicle rolling forward or backward. When you start 
the brake will automatically disengage. If the battery 
should run out, the brakes automatically engage. 
Note that even when freewheel is selected, a  
secondary braking system is applied automatically 
to limit the maximum speed. You may notice this 
system causing drag when moving the scooter in 
freewheel mode

Warning! 

If the freewheel device is in  

“freewheel” the automatic braking is disabled. 
Never select the freewheel device if the scooter 
is on a slope or could be pushed onto a slope.
