3. PREPARE THE SUPERSPORT FOR FIRST USE
If you receive your Supersport packaged and it has to be assembled see the section covering Assembly. The
batteries will require charging - refer to Charging the Supersport for details.
Care! Warning
The Supersport is easy to drive but it is essential that you familiarise yourself with the controls and learn to drive it
in a safe area with sufficient room to maneuver for your safety and that of others. The area should be free of
obstacles and reasonably flat. Mark a practice course for straight line driving, turning in confined spaces, reversing
and driving around obstacles.

1. Speed Control Levers - The speed of Supersport is controlled by the red
lever located on the right hand handlebar and shown in Fig 3.1. Always use
the lever gently, remembering that the more you squeeze the lever in the
quicker you will go. To stop simply release the lever, the braking is
completely automatic and when the machine has stopped the parking brake
will engage and stay on until the machine moves off again. You may have a
machine that has been fitted with the following factory fitted option:-
a) L/H speed Control Lever - This is used exactly as described above and is
fitted to the L/H handlebar instead of R/H
2. Emergency Brake - All braking on the Supersport is automatic and the
emergency brake should never need to be used. It is only for emergency in t
very unlikely event that the automatic braking fails. The lever is located on left
handle bar (fig 4.1). If your machine has been fitted with the L/H speed
control lever, then the emergency brake will be fitted to the R/H handlebar.

When the key is inserted the switch has two positions, “off” where there will be no power to the machine and the
parking brake will be engaged and “on” where the machine is ready for use (fig 5.4). If Supersport is
inadvertently left switch on, after a certain period of time it will shut itself down to conserve battery. To restart,
turn the key to off, wait a few seconds and turn on again.
8. On Light – Will come on green when the key is turned to on and Supersport ready for use (fig 6.1). This light
is also used as a fault indicator and if it is flashing Red/Green it is showing the Supersport to either have a fault or
the parking brake release lever has been activated.
