I. BASIC ASSEMBLY & SET UP
IM P O R TA NT:Before turning on and riding your scooter, please read and follow the
set-up and operating instructions first. If you purchased your scooter from a local
re t a i l e r, it should be fully assembled and ready to ride. BUT...if you bought your scooter
and took it home in the carton, then you MUST follow the set-up instructions below
covering assembly and final adjustment. Following these instructions will help insure
safe riding and maximize scooter life.
Tools Required: Here is a list of tools to have on hand for assembling and adjusting
the 600/750 series scooter:
•Phillips head screwdriver
•10mm open end wrench (or small adjustable wrench)
•15mm box wrench (to tighten axle nuts)
•5mm and 6mm allen key (enclosed), 4mm allen key (not included)
•Bicycle tire pump with a schrader valve fitting & pressure gauge
•17mm “Cone-wrench” or thin wrench
Steps for Assembly:
1. Remove scooter from carton and stand it up by lowering the kickstand. Located at
the left side of the rear wheel.
2. Raise the handlebar and lock it securely in place.
3. If your scooter came with a seat and seat post assembly, or if you bought an
optional seat kit, see Seat Kit Assembly Instructions on page 13.
4. Unpack the battery charger from its box. Make sure the power switch on the scooter
is in the OFF position and proceed to charge the scooter batteries. (see Battery
Charging instructions on page 7) While you’re waiting for the batteries to charge,
take time to read through this manual! This could take up to 6 hours.
5. The brake cable comes pre-assembled from the factory. However, you need to
check it carefully to make sure it is properly connected and operating. Test the
brake lever by squeezing it; it should stop the rear wheel easily and NOT come in
contact with the handlebar. If the brake lever needs adjusting, follow the detailed
instructions for brake adjustments on page 10.
6. Before riding, test the throttle grip with the power switch off (also pre-assembled
from the factory) by twisting it towards you while standing in the normal rider
po s i t i o n . It should turn easily and immediately spring back to the “power off”
position when you release it.
WARNING!
If the throttle does not operate as described, DO NOT RIDE THE SCOOTER. Call the
CTI Customer Service line at: 800-377-4532 for further instruction.
PAGE 4

7. Tire Pressure: The correct tire pressure for the 600/750 series tires
(size: 12 1/2” X 2 1/4”) is 35 psi. Check it with a reliable tire pressure gauge and
inflate as needed. Caution: Do not use an unregulated compressor when inflating
your tires. Gas station compressors typically deliver too much volume for bicycle type
tires, and may cause them to burst.
Caution: Three Items for Riders to Double Check:
1. Before every ride, check the Handlebar Quick Release Lever to make sure it is
locked tight in the “Closed” position. (see instructions on page 5 and 6)
2. Also check your tire pressure regularly. Do not ride on under inflated tires. All bicycle
type tires lose small amounts of air naturally.
3. Test your brake operation before every ride to insure safe and reliable
stopping performance.
II. ASSEMBLY, ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATION OF ALL COMPONENTS
1. Handlebar Assembly and Adjustment
Caution: The 600/750 series scooter is equipped with an “Easy Fold” handlebar and stem
assem bly. Take care not to pinch your hand or any of your fingers in the hinge when you are
raising and locking the handlebar in place. Also be careful to avoid pinching or crimping the
brake and throttle cables in the hinge whenever you raise or lower the handlebar.
a. To raise and lock the handlebar properly, first lift the handlebar to its upright position
while Taking hold of the Quick Release (QR) lever and pulling back the center pin (see
figure a) so that the top part of the handlebar hinge makes full contact with the bottom
part. Then let the center pin slide back into its locked position.
b. With the QR lever in its “open”
position (see figure b), lift the QR
bolt up and into the slot in the
upper hinge plate. Then flip the QR
lever down into its fully locked
and closed position. (fig c) The
cam action of the QR lever should
lock the handlebar hinge down firmly.
Important Notes: If the quick
release lever is either too tight and
cannot be flipped to its locked
position, or it is too loose and too
easily can be flipped to its locked
position, place the lever in its open
position (fig. d) and adjust the
10mm nut underneath the center
pi n . Adjust only 1/2 turn at a time and
test it again for proper tension. When
PAGE 5
figure a

flipped closed, th e
lever should be very
tight in its closed
position (fig. e)
and unable to
vibrate loose.
c. To unlock and
lower the handlebar,
reverse steps a.
through c. above.
WA R N I N G !
If you are unable to
lock the handlebar
folding hinge properly,
DO NOT RIDE THE
SC O OTE R . Contact
CTI Customer
Service at
1-800-377-4532 for
further instructions.
DO NOT RIDE
YOUR SCOOTER
unless the handlebar
assembly is properly
closed and locked
properly. Failure to
do so may result in
serious injury or
death to the rider or
severe damage to
the scooter.
2. Stem Assembly and Adjustment
The stem of the 600/750 series electric scooter comes fully installed and tightened
from the factory. The stem itself is attached to the lower hinge plate and includes a
bicycle style stem expander bolt and expander wedge. The stem fits into the steerer
tube of the fork (inside the head tube of the scooter), and it is tightened in position
with the expander bolt and wedge. Should the stem ever come loose, you can adjust it
by a) opening the handlebar hinge, b) loosening the expander bolt and wedge with a 6mm
allen key (included), or a 13mm wrench c) repositioning the stem in the steerer tube and
then d) re-tightening the expander bolt and wedge.

3. Battery Pack, Charger Port and Charger
The 600/750 series electric scooter comes with a 36 Volt/10 AH “Plug and Play” battery
pack. The battery pack is installed at the factory, and it is located under the deck plate.
To access the battery, if necessary, turn the power switch to the OFF position (fig. a),
unscrew the “D” ring bolt located beneath the power switch at the front center of the
main deck and remove the deck.
Electro Drive Charger
The 600/750 series scooter comes with its own
“Electro Drive Smart Charger” that connects
with an easy-access charger port for recharging
the batteries. This charger unit has a light which
shows battery charge status. Refer to the
instructions that appear on the charger unit.
How to Charge the Batteries
1. Important: Make sure the power switch on
the scooter is turned to the OFF position.
2. Insert the Battery Charger’s Round Connector
into the Charger Port (fig. b) located below the
power switch on the scooter and then plug the
charger electric cord into a standard, grounded
110V AC outlet.
3. Let the batteries charge until the charger
light turns solid green, then unplug the
charger from the scooter and the AC outlet.
Ca u t i o n : Batteries “like” to have a full charge, so
be sure to recharge them fully after each ride. If
you leave them in a run-down condition and do
not quickly recharge them, it will shorten their life
ex pec tan cy.Charger may get warm to the touch,
so make sure you charge them in an open area
and do not lay anything on the charger unit
itself. Although you cannot
over-charge the batteries using the Currie
“Smart Charger”, we recommend you do not
leave the charger plugged in for more than 24
hours maximum.
Warning
Use only the Currie Electro Drive Smart
Chargers to charge the 600/750 series
batteries. Using any other charger may
damage the batteries and void your warranty.

Changing the Battery Pack
1. Make sure the power switch is set
to the OFF position.
2. Undo the deck plate mounting bolt
and remove the deck.
3. Disconnect the battery power pack
connector (cut zip tie holding the
wire connector if necessary) and lift
the battery pack out of the scooter’s
battery box.
4. Place the new or fully charged battery
pack into the battery box.
5. Reconnect the power pack connector
cable and tuck all of the cables into
the box.
6. Replace the deck plate and re-attach
the “D” ring mounting bolt. Make
sure all corners fit and the bolt is
secure. The scooter is ready to ride!
4. Throttle and Brake Operation
& Adjustment
Onboard Diagnostic Controller &
Throttle
Electrical system diagnostics mode.
To enter diagnostics mode, start with
power switch turned off.
1. Hold throttle to full speed position
for at least 5 seconds.
2. With throttle held on full speed, turn
power switch on.
All of the power indicator’s three LED’s
will light up briefly. This will indicate
that the diagnosis has begun. The
power indicator’s LED’s will then begin
“rotating” from the green to the yellow,
then to red then back thru this sequence repeatedly. This will let you know that you
are in the diagnostics mode.
3. Release the throttle from the full speed position back to the “zero” speed position.
If properly working, all of the Diagnostics LED’s will light up.
PAGE 8
figure 3
figure 5

4. Slowly rotate the throttle from zero all the way to the full speed position and then
allow it to return slowly.
You should notice that the LED’s will change with different throttle positions.
A. While at zero speed, the LED’s will all be on.
B. While at about the 1/2 speed position, the red and yellow LED will light up.
C. While at the Full speed position, only the red LED will remain on.
If any of the above does not happen, the throttle is malfunctioning and is in need of
replacement before any other diagnostics can be done.
(Note: if any of the three wires between the controller and the throttle clip are severed,
the diagnostics will show that the throttle is malfunctioning).
Low Voltage indicator:
If the voltage in the batteries is equal or less than 30 volts, the red and green LED’s
will light up. Indicating that either charging or battery replacement is necessary.
(Note: To extend the life of your battery cells, avoid using them down to this level.)
Thermistor (Thermal-Resistor) diagnostics:
If the green and red LED’s are blinking, the thermistor has malfunctioned. This indicates
that a replacement controller may be necessary.
Heat shut-down diagnostics:
PAGE 9
Onboard Diagnostic Controller & Throttle

If all LED’s are blinking simultaneously, the controller is over-heated (MOSFET temperature
is too high), Power to the motor has been shut down. Turn the main power switch off for
at least 30 minutes to allow the controller to cool down before riding any more. This can
occur if excessive stress is placed on the scooter, (I.e. too steep a hill, or too heavy a load).
WARNING!
If you do not fully understand how to operate your scooter throttle properly, DO NOT
RIDE YOUR SCOOTER. Contact CTI Customer Service for information and instructions
at 1-800-377-4532.
Brake Operation
The 600/750 series electric scooter is
equipped with a front “V” brake and a large
diameter rear disc brake. It is operated
using the brake levers on the handlebar and
is designed to provide excellent stopping
power for your scooter. Squeeze the brake
levers firmly (fig. 1) to bring your scooter
to a safe, controlled stop. Caution! The
brake levers should never touch the
handlebar or grip when squeezed firmly.
If they do, then immediately STOP
RIDING and adjust the brake cable.
WARNING!
All brakes need periodic adjustments. The brake mechanisms should be adjusted only
by a qualified service technician. If or when it needs service, take your scooter to your
local bicycle dealer or to a retailer who offers service for this universal brake system.
Improper adjustment of your brake can cause poor braking and lead to an accident,
serious rider injury or death.
Brake Cable Adjustment
If your break wire’s stretch (as most new wires
do during the initial “breaking-in” period), your
brake lever will require a longer “pull” to
engage the brake and may even touch the
handlebar when squeezed. Use the
adjusting barrel on the brake lever. Loosen
the adjusting barrel lock nut (fig. 2), back
the adjusting barrel out of the lever a turn or
two, then re-tighten the lock nut to secure the barrel.
2 Cautions:
1) Do not allow the adjusting barrel to extend more than 5 full rotations out of the
brake lever.
2)Always test your brakes after making any adjustment to be sure they are operating
properly before riding.
PAGE 10
figure 1
figure 2

Caution: If you reach the limit of the cable adjustments described above and you are
still experiencing poor braking performance, do not continue to ride. Do not attempt to
adjust the cable any further or attempt to adjust the band brake. Take your scooter to a
qualified mechanic for proper service, or call CTI Customer Service at: 1-800-377-4532.
WARNING!
Proper brake performance and adjustment is vital to safe scooter operation. Never
ride your scooter unless your brakes are adjusted and working correctly. The same
goes for chain and drive train adjustments. Do not ride you scooter if any part of the
drive train is not in good working order. For answers to any questions about the
adjustments described above, please call CTI Customer Service at: 1-800-377-4532.
5. Drive Train Assembly
The 600/750 series electric scooter is equipped with the patented Currie Tec hno log ies
Electro Drive propulsion system, the
finest available in today’s rapidly
growing Personal Electric
Transportation market. The Currie
Electro Drive features a DC motor
with direct chain drive to the rear
wheel, a weather and dust resistant
Cont r o l l e r, built-in freewheeling (a
feature that allows the scooter to
coast when the power is not
engaged), plus rechargeable and
recyclable lead acid batteries that
provide many hours of trouble free
riding. The 600/750 series motor
and drive train come fully assembled
and “ready-to-ride” from the factory.
IMPORTANT: All Electro Drive
Motors, Throttles and the
Controllers are factory sealed units
and are not user serviceable. Do not
open or tamper with any of the fac-
tory sealed units; doing so may
result in electric shock or injury and
will render them inoperable. Fo r
answers to service questions regarding the 600/750 series drive train, please contact
your local dealer, or call CTI Customer Service at: 1-800-377-4532.
6. Chain Tension Adjustment
Like a new brake wire, the direct drive chain can stretch during use or may occasionally
come out of adjustment. Regular attention to proper chain tension and lubrication
will minimize the risk of the drive chain falling off the rear sprocket and help your
scooter maintain optimum performance. Properly adjusted, the drive chain should
PAGE 11
The Currie Drive Train Assembly

have 5 to 6mm of up-and-down travel or slack. Note: Currie Technologies strongly
recommends that any chain tension adjustment be performed by a trained scooter or
bicycle mechanic. The Direct Chain Drive System allows for adjustment of chain
tension in the following steps:
•
Loosen (do not remove) the right side axle nut (15mm) (fig. 1) and the motor plate
fixing bolt (5mm Allen) (fig. 2)
• Loosen the right side 17mm “inner axle nut” (fig. 3)
• Slide the motor plate with motor forward to tighten the chain, or towards the rear to
loosen the chain. (Note: a slight movement will dramatically effect the chain tension,
so try a little at a time until it is correct!)
• When proper chain tension is achieved (5-6mm slack), tighten the 17mm inner axle
nut first, then the 15mm axle nut, and last – the 5mm motor plate fixing bolt.
Note on Chain Lubrication: To help maintain both the performance and life of your
drive chain, lubricate it about once a month using any quality bicycle chain lube. Take
time when you do so to check the chain tension.

7. Optional Seat and Seat Post Assembly
The seat assembly is an included with the 600/750 series scooter. The seat assembly
can be easily attached to the scooter. The assembly consists of: a) Comfort Seat, b)
Seat Post, c) Seat Tube, d) Quick Release Seat Post Clamp (QR) e) basket and f) a
separate sheet of assembly instructions. The Seat Tube is designed to slide into the
Seat Tube Receiver located in the frame. Here are the steps to follow in order to
mount the Seat and Seat Post assembly:
1. Remove the “plug” at the top-rear of the
deck to access the seat tube receiver of the
frame. (fig. a)
2. Slip the seat clamp in the seat over the
small end of the seat post and tighten the
clamp nuts with a 14mm wrench. (Do not
fully tighten the clamp until you have
adjusted the seat position to your liking.
See point 5 below.)
3. Attach the seat post QR to the seat tube;
then insert the seat post into the seat tube.
To secure the post in the seat tube, push
the QR lever to its “Closed” position.
4. Attach basket to the bracket on the rear of the
seat tube with a 5mm Allen wrench.
5. Align the seat tube assembly with the water bottle
holder fixing bolts pointing towards the front of
the scooter.
6.Insert the seat post tube completely into the seat
tube receiver in the frame. Make sure the indexing
pin is correctly aligned in the slot during this step.
7. Use a 5mm allen key to tighten the seat tube
fixing bolt on the the seat tube receiver in the frame.
Caution: Take care not to over-tighten the bolt, but it should be tightened enough
to hold the seat post tube securely in the receiver. (fig. b)
8. Two Adjustments: 1) You can adjust seat height by opening the QR clamp, moving
the seat post up or down as desired, and then re-tightening the QR clamp. 2) You
can adjust the angle and alignment of the seat to a comfortable position by loosening
the seat clamp nuts using a 14mm wrench, adjusting the seat tilt position, and
then re-tightening the clamp nuts. Caution: Be sure to tighten the seat clamp nuts
sufficiently to prevent the seat from twisting or tilting when in use.
WARNING!
Never extend the seat post beyond the minimum insertion mark located on the post.
Make sure the indexing pin on the seat post tube is aligned in the receiver slot and the
tube fully inserted. Before you ride the scooter, make sure you have tightened all parts
of the seat assembly properly, especially the QR lever. Riding with a loose seat or seat
post may cause a rider to fall, possibly damaging the scooter and causing serious injury.

Front Wheel Removal:
You will need to first release the front “V”-Brake cable “noodle” from its brake arm carrier
on the brake arm in order to open the brake wider than the tire. Using a 15mm box or
adjustable wrench, loosen both axle nuts enough to unhook the safety washers from the
fork. Then by lifting the front end of the scooter, pull the wheel down and out of the front
fork. Caution: Make sure the scooter does not fall over and cause damage to itself ….or
yo u(! ).
Rear Wheel & Drive Assembly Removal:
Mechanic’s Tip: Put wood blocks under the scooter
to lift the back end and rear wheel off the ground or
your work bench surface. This will make it easier for
you to handle the rear wheel assembly and access
the chain. Make sure the main power switch
is OFF.
a. Remove the main deck with the D-ring bolt.
b. Detach and remove the battery pack.
c. Remove the controller guard at the front/inside
of the battery compartment with its two philips
sc rew s.
d. Locate and detach the motor wire from the
controller at the white clip.
e. Remove the bracket that connects the two top
motor bolts and the lower shock pivot bolt with
a 10mm wrench + 5mm Allen key (2 may be
required).
PAGE 14

fig. e

f. Remove the motor with the small sprocket from the
motor plate with the 3 (5mm) bolts.
g. Loosen and remove both axle nuts (15mm)
h. Loosen and remove the motor plate fixing bolt
(5mm Allen) on the lower right side of the frame.
i. The rear wheel with sprocket, brake disc, and motor
plate can now be removed from the rear dropouts of the
fr ame .
Front Flat Tire Repair
Caution: Do not use a flat screwdriver in place of a
plastic tire because you will damage your wheel, tube
and tire!
•Remove both axle nuts and safety washers with a
15mm wrench. The front wheel should be able to
be easily removed from the front forks.
•With a plastic bicycle tire lever “un-zip” one side of
the tire from the rim.
•Remove the inner tube from the tire.
•Inflate the tube and inspect for leaks or punctures.
•Patch the tube as needed. If the tube is too badly
damaged to repair, replace it
with a new one (12 1/2” x 2 1/4”).
•Be sure to inspect the inside of the tire for any
sharp edges, thorns or glass that
could have caused the puncture to the inner tube.
If the tire has any cuts it will need to be
replaced too.
To reassemble the front wheel with its tire and tube:
•Slightly inflate the new (or patched) inner tube to
make it take shape.
•Insert the valve thru the hole in the rim.
• Feed the tube into the tire
•Push (by hand only) the tire and tube all the way
over the rim so that the previously “un-zipped” side
of the tire is next to the rim.
•With a plastic bicycle tire lever “zip” the tire side
back in place. (Note: Go slow to make sure not to
damage the tube)
•Inflate tire slowly, checking periodically to make
sure the tire is properly and evenly seated all
around the rim, not pinching the tube or lifted off
the rim at any point.
• When tire is properly seated, inflate to recommended
pressure (35psi)
PAGE 15

Front Wheel Installation
Raise the front end of the scooter and lower it onto the front wheel axle. Make sure
the axle seats properly in the dropouts. Center the wheel in the forks and tighten both
axle nuts. Spin the wheel to make sure it is centered in the forks and the axle nuts
properly tightened. Then reattach the brake cable noodle into its carrier.
Rear Wheel Installation
Note: The order of this installation is very important.
•Make sure the chain is hanging around the right side of the hub, between the tire
and large sprocket.
• Insert the rear wheel, with brake disc, large sprocket and motor plate all the way forward
into the fame dropouts, but do not secure nuts tightly at this time.
•Attach kickstand and secure left side axle nut tightly.
•Align the motor plate threaded hole to the frame tab and thread and secure the
motor plate fixing bolt (5mm Allen) in place.
• You may need to re-adjust the chain tension. See page 11, section 6 for instructions.
•Thread the top motor bolt (5mm Allen) in place, but do not tighten completely yet.
•Pivot the motor clockwise or bottom towards the rear of the scooter enough to put
the chain around both the large and small sprockets.
•Once chain is in place pivot the motor counter clockwise or bottom towards the
front of the scooter and secure all three motor bolts tightly.
•Re-install the motor plate bracket to the back of the 2 top motor bolts and the
lower shock pivot bolt.
•Tighten right side axle nut with safety washer.
PAGE 16

Adjusting the Brake Cables: To adjust the brake wires correctly, loosen the 5mm Allen
“pinch bolt”, pull and hold the wire through the pinch bolt, push the brake actuator
arm forward along the wire and then tighten the cable pinch bolt using a 5mm Allen
wrench. Immediately test the brake cable adjustment by squeezing the brake lever.
When the brake is fully applied it should not touch the handlebar, and the wheel
should spin freely when you release the brake lever. It may take you 2 or 3 attempts to
make this adjustment.
III. Riding Instructions and Safety Tips
Riding instructions
Your 600/750 series Electro Drive scooter is as easy to operate as “1-2-3.” (Got your
helmet on? Make it a habit!)
Who can ride?
The 600/750 series scooter has a rider weight limit of 240 pounds and is intended for
riders age 12 and up. Riders should have experience operating a multispeed bicycle
with hand brakes, and have both good balance and coordination.
Starting up
1. Turn the power switch ON and place one foot on the deck with both hands on
the handlebars.
2. Push off with your other foot and coast the scooter – just as you would when riding
a non-powered scooter or skateboard.
3. Slowly twist the throttle grip towards you to apply power to rear wheel.
Stopping
To slow down or come to a stop, twist the throttle grip away from you or release it
completely. Squeeze the brake lever on the left side of the handlebar at the same time
to come to a safe stop. (Note: It is not necessary to skid the wheel in order to slow or
stop the scooter. Save this in case of emergency only!)
Storing your Scooter
When you are done riding, flip the power switch to OFF and plug in the battery charger.
Caution: Do not charge your battery for more than 24 hours at one time.
Safe Riding Tips
These are usually a drag to read, we know. Especially for younger riders. But following
them doesn’t cost anything, and we think they are critical to keeping both rider and
scooter away from dangerous situations. Here’s our list...best if read aloud by a parent!
1. Ride Responsibly: Always wear a helmet when you ride. If you are a new rider, wearing
elbow and knee pads will also help keep your scooter riding safe and enjoyable. Protect
yourself on the road!
PAGE 17

2. Ride on Smooth Pavement: Your Electro Drive 600/750 series scooter was designed
to be ridden only on smooth, dry pavement. Caution: Riding off-road in the dirt or
riding in wet conditions will damage the scooter, so don’t do it. The Limited Warranty
will not cover damages sustained by off-road riding.
3. Ride Straight: Do not stunt ride or jump the scooter! The 600/750 series scooter is
simply not designed or built for stunt riding or jumping, and if riders abuse and
damage the scooter by riding in that manner, the Limited Warranty won’t cover it.
4. Ride Alert: Whenever you ride, follow all traffic regulations, especially stop signs, traffic
signals, pedestrian crosswalks, etc. If you have to cross a busy street, or many lanes
full of traffic, cross safely by walking your scooter in a designated crosswalk zone.
Note: If you want to know if any special laws govern scooters and their operation in
your locale, contact your local police station or Department of Motor Vehicles
for information.
5. Ride Defensively.When in doubt, always yield the right-of-way to the other guy.
Always assume that other drivers, pedestrians, motorcyclists and cyclists just don’t
see you there. Or won’t...until it’s too late. And because electric scooters are very
quiet on the road, other riders and drivers cannot really hear you coming.
6.Ride Smart. DO NOT ride your scooter at night unless you equip it with a functioning,
CPSC approved bicycle headlight and taillight. 3 Tips for Riding Smart: 1. Find a loud
bell or horn, mount it on your handlebars and use it to warn others that you’re coming.
2. Wear a brightly colored shirt or jacket to increase your visibility to other drivers
and riders. 3. DO NOT deliberately skid your back tire when stopping. Skidding
leads to a loss of control, and it will quickly damage your tire, shorten its useful life
and cost you money!
7. Ride Safe: Give yourself plenty of room to stop. This scooter travels much faster
than non-powered scooters, and it carries the added weight of a motor and battery
pack. Both the faster speed and the additional weight of the 600/750 series scooter
extend the safe stopping distance compared to non-powered scooters.
WARNING!
Wet conditions can increase stopping distances by as much as 6 times the normal,
dry pavement stopping distance. And skidding caused by braking on wet pavement is
inherently dangerous and should be strictly avoided.
8. Be Responsible. DO NOT let others ride your scooter until they read the manual
and fully understand how to operate first. You read the manual, right? So they can
too! Another safety rule: No Passengers! This scooter is designed to carry one rider
only (maximum weight limit is 240 lbs.) only!

IV. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
•How far with the 600/750 series scooter go on a full charge?
Up to 12-15 miles per charge on level ground.
•How many hours will the scooter run on a full charge?
On average, it will run 1/2 hour to 1 hour per charge on level ground.
Note: Riding at full-throttle dramatically reduces your range.
•What is the top speed of the scooter?
Up to 15 mph on level ground. Note: Both the range per charge and the top
speed of the scooter depend on many variables, including riding conditions,
rider weight, battery charge, etc. Scooter performance, of course, will
vary accordingly.
• Can I ride my scooter in wet conditions or on wet pavement?
No! Because riding in water can cause rider to lose control. And because
water might enter the battery compartment and cause the motor controller
or other parts of the electrical system to fail, we strongly recommend you do
not operate the scooter on wet pavement, through puddles, in snow...or
anywhere your scooter is liable to get wet.
•What is the correct air pressure for the tires?
The proper air pressure for the front and rear tires is 35 psi.
•What is the weight limit of my scooter?
One rider up to 240 pounds maximum.
•How often should I recharge the batteries?
Recharge them after every ride! Your scooter will perform best when the
batteries are fully charged. And to help prolong battery life, make sure they
are fully charged before you store the scooter for any extended period
of time.
•How long should it take to charge a fully discharged battery?
About 5 to 6 hours using the power supply provided with the scooter.
•Where can I purchase additional or replacement parts, if needed, such as batteries
or an extra charger unit?
They can be purchased directly from Currie Technologies at 1-800-377-4532.
•Where can I get replacement tires?
The 12 1/2” x 2 1/4” scooter tires may be available at your local bike or scooter
shop. However, if you cannot find them locally, you can order them directly
from CTI Customer Service by calling: 1-800-377-4532.
