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.
