The TravelScoot requires some skill to operate safely. Before enter-
ing crowded areas for the first time, familiarize yourself with the
operation of the vehicle in a large open area, free of vehicles, pedes-
trians and obstacles.
Throttle: To become accustomed to operation and response, turn the
twist grip slowly, similar to a motorcycle.
Because the drive is located on the left rear wheel, left turns from a stop are
only possible with the front wheel turned no more than about 45 degrees. This
still provides an adequate amount of maneuverability, similar to a four-
wheeled scooter. More than 45 degrees will gradually block the drive. Tighter
turns are possible.once you are in motion However, right turns are possible
virtually on the spot and must be conducted carefully and with very little
throttle applied. Whenever you are riding into confined spaces, like small
elevators, approach them so that you can exit safely with a right turn or in re-
verse.
Indoor use:
In general you are permitted to use the TravelScoot inside of
buildings such as airports, shopping malls, stores, theaters, etc. However you
are obligated to adjust your speed to that of the walking traffic. Do not ride on
escalators!
Outdoor use:
You may drive across short sections of grass or gravel sur-
faces as long as they are level and reasonably firm. Approach them with mod-
erate speed. Depending on your weight, you may not be able to restart on
these types of surfaces from a standstill. Also, keep in mind that prolonged
riding under such conditions will quickly drain your battery.
The electric motor, wiring, connectors, batteries and controls can be damaged
if exposed excessively to water. Light rain is also no problem. Avoid driving
the TravelScoot in heavy rain or through puddles of water. If you cannot avoid
puddles, cross them with extremely low speed in order to avoid splashing wa-
ter.
