WELCOME
We are really sure you will enjoy this great new innovative product and change the way you play golf forever.
Soon you’ll be stepping onto the Golf Skate Caddy™ but first; there are a few things you need to familiarize yourself
with. To get the most out of your new GSC™ it’s important you know your product really well. We recommend you read
this manual from cover to cover, explore all your vehicles’ features, and follow instructions (and we emphasize ‘follow’)
on safety, care, and maintenance.
The Golf Skate Caddy™ (GSC™) is the culmination of years of board, motor, battery and dynamic technology fusion,
oering a new alternative to other golf transport vehicles such as single player ride on units and of course golf carts.
Playing golf should be about the experience, taking a great shot, enjoying the view, the outdoors, the fresh air,
encompassing this and so much more, ensuring return visits time after time.
Our research indicates that few people rate their current transport choice as being part of the fun experience of their
game. Let’s face it, how exciting is it trundling around in a golf cart going from one ball to another (you as a fellow
passenger) when you can go directly to your own ball saving you much time by not having to zigzag across the
fairways chasing two balls. 2 seat golf carts are no longer a necessity, with the Golf Skate Caddy™ a game may be
shortened by up to 20%.
The Golf Skate Caddy™ is an amazing vehicle that you simply stand on, whilst holding onto a specially designed curved
handle with an integrated thumb control accelerator which helps you stabilise your ride in addition to controlling safely
your speed and braking. With a special caddy up front for your golf bag, attachment provisions for your essentials
such as scorecard holder, drinks bottle, sand divot pourer, space for a GPS and smart phone mount, plus a bespoke
umbrella, you are set and ready to go.
So check out our full website for all the information on how it works, how we feel it will make your golf day one to
remember, plus our great videos, photos, specifications and so much more. One thing is for sure, you won’t find a
quality fully featured product like our Golf Skate Caddy™ anywhere else. Australian designed and developed,
innovative, reliable, practical, great fun, tested internationally and enjoyed across the world.
You will also appreciate the benefits and safety of our 4-wheel steer product achieving greater balance and safety to
enjoy your golf day.
UNPACKING THE GSC™
Please check carefully that all items are included in the GSC™ Box
Check first that your new GSC™ is free of any damage that might have been caused in transit. If any damage is
noticeable, do not ride the GSC™. Contact your freight carrier and your GSC™ supplier immediately within 7 days or
your claim may be refused. (To substantiate your claim please take photos and write a description of the damage in
question).
On receiving the GSC™ the following items will also be included in the packaging.
• 1 x Fully Assembled GSC™
• 1 x Pistol Grip 2.4GHz Wireless Controller

We highly recommend you immediately give the GSC™ a full charge. Plug the charger into your wall outlet and
connect it to the charging jack on the side of the battery-pack. The light on the charger will be RED. That means the
battery is on charge. Once the battery reaches full charge, the light turns GREEN.
Charging time may vary. The charge time takes 4-8 hours, depending on the remaining charge in the battery. Use the
battery often, and DO NOT store for more than 60 days without charging.
DO NOT RIDE THE GSC™ WITH OUT FIRSTLY CHECKING YOUR TYRES TO ENSURE THEY ARE AT THE
RECOMMENDED PRESSURE AS VALVE DAMAGE MAY OCCUR. THIS DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
Tyre pressure on GSC™ should be set at 40-50psi. These recommended pressures have been set to give optimum
board control and battery performance. Get into a habit of checking tyre pressure regularly. Low tyre pressure can put
undue stress on your motors and drive train.
If you damage your tyres or inner tubes please contact your local distributor, which can be found at

ANCILLARY COMPONENTS
Sand Divot / Seeder Pourer
Your GSC™ comes standard with a sand divot seeded / pourer, this simply fits into the compartment on the right side
of the GSC™ at the front. Simply unscrew the lid and fill with sand or dirt at your golf club, and when creating a turf
divot simply pour content over hole to protect fairway.
Removable Seat
You GSC™ comes standard with a removable spring seat. This seat is specially designed only for the GSC™.
To attach the seat to the GSC™ open up the rear cooler compartment and you will notice a spring pull. Lift this whilst
sliding the horizontal bar into the receiving hitch. Once the bar has been fully inserted release the spring pull and the
seat will be secured. Ensure that you do not get dirt or material inside the hitch as this may cause diculty inserting
and removing the seat.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SIT WHILST DRIVING, as damage to seat and GSC™ will incur.
Umbrella
Your GSC™ comes with a very specialised umbrella / sun canopy. The umbrella is rated to winds in excess of 60km/h,
although we do not advise that you play golf in such extreme conditions, in the event of a wind gust unlike so many
standard umbrellas your canopy will not invert oering you protection.
You will notice that there are two umbrella holders on either side of the accessories frame. This was designed so that
depending on your chosen stance you could place the umbrella in a position that would not impede your vision. To
attach the umbrella securely simply open the lever and slide the umbrella shaft inside the tube, adjust height and
re-lock the lever.
Rear Cooler Box
Every GSC™ comes complete with a rear cooler box. This is great for keeping your beverages cool. Your cooler will hold
3 standard cans length wise or 2 x 600ml bottles of water width wise. Simply lift the click lock lid up, place beverages
inside and fill with ice to keep cool. Now don't worry about the water pooling in the cooler, as there are two drain holes
at the rear allowing any water to pour directly on to the grass or path. Alternatively you can use the compartment
simply for storage.

IMPORTANT! -
KNOW YOUR ABILITY RIDE WITH CARE
The GSC™ is not a toy and not recommended for riders under 16 years of age without adult supervision (check local
golf club rules). It’s a serious piece of innovative engineering and must be treated with respect while riding. Before
you attempt to ride your GSC™, be sure you completely understand and are familiar with all its features, controls,
safety devices and maintenance advice in this manual.
Your GSC™ will run safely on most hard-packed surfaces, gravel, and trimmed grass. But care must be taken with
rough and uneven ground, and especially potholes. Stay clear of mud, sand and water.
GSC™ is ultimately designed for golf course use and surrounding areas on the golf course, it is not intended for road
use or footpath/sidewalk use. GSC™ will not be liable for any claims whatsoever whilst riding the GSC™. While riding
the GSC™ please make every eort to see that it is safe and free of dangerous obstacles, potholes or debris. Do not
ride in crowded public areas. Your GSC™ is designed for a single-rider only. Once you’ve developed reliable technique,
ride within your limits. But there are always limits, so stay alert as with most vehicles there are certain risks involved.
It is a good idea when traversing up and especially down very steep inclines that you consider walking next to your
GSC™ adjusting the speed and braking with your trigger controller. If in any doubt about the gradient of the hill always
walk - remember safety first!
If you decide to ride down a steep incline releasing either the thumb controller or remote trigger will activate the brake
allowing you to safely drive down the hill, release or activate the trigger to adjust your descent speed.
Understanding your GSC™ braking system
Your GSC™ uses electro magnetic brakes, which are applied via the wireless controller, THESE DO NOT RESPOND in
the same fashion as wheel resistant braking or disc brakes. It is important to realize that your complete braking cycle
from full speed to zero can take up to 7-8 metres (23-26ft) on flat ground and more on an decline. You need to be
fully aware of your surroundings at all times and brake in advance of any obstacles etc. At slow speed your brakes will
apply progressively at up to 1.5 metres (4ft) so please take this into account. We have set the brakes at this level for
safety and predictability.
Harsh braking may cause you to be thrown forward o your GSC™ causing potential injury and harm – do not attempt
to tamper or modify with the braking cycle of this vehicle.
Please take the time to familiarize yourself completely with the acceleration and braking of the GSC™.
Electronic Park Brake
Your GSC™ has an electromagnetic park brake, in order to engage this simply release the trigger controller to engage
braking.
You should ALWAYS park your GSC™ adjacent to the hill, never directly up or down.

BASIC OPERATION
If this is your first time riding the GSC™, we suggest that you start o in speed mode 1, this is the default starting speed
of the GSC™ and will allow you to only reach a maximum speed of around 4-5km/h giving you the confidence that you
will not fall o. We suggest that you take the GSC™ initially to a nice quiet open space like a park so that you can get
a feel for the vehicles braking, acceleration, speed and handling. Once you feel confidant you can work up to assist 3
or 4. Refer to the section at the start of the manual on operation of the GSC™ computer controller screen on how to
change your speed modes.
The GSC’s™ suspension was designed to work at its best with the full weight of a golf bag secured into the front caddy
section. This gives the rider counter weight when turning and helps loosen up the suspension so please ensure that
when you are riding the GSC™ you always have your golf bag and clubs on board.
Attention! Your GSC™ is powerful and demands common sense and respect for safety reasons. The GSC™ is a simple
vehicle to master, most riders can become proficient within 5-10 minutes of riding the GSC™ for the first time.
Stand on the GSC™ with your toes facing the edge of the board. With the hand closest to the handle to steady
yourself, grab the handle securely but not too tight and with your thumb move the slider forward to accelerate gently,
pulling back on the slider will activate the rapid brake. The correct stance for forward movement is to ensure you have
60-70% of your weight on the front foot for 1-2 seconds then share the weight across both feet. As you brake, shift
60-70% of your weight to the rear foot until you stop.
In order to maximize your turning ability, you should shift your weight to the rear foot momentarily whilst you position
the ball of your foot or heel to the left or right edge of the board re-transferring your weight back to the front foot.
Pressing down and transferring your front foot to the left or right edge of the GSC™ in this way will maximize weight
leverage allowing you to steer more easily. You will notice initially that your GSC’s turning circle will improve after a
little while as the red suspension bush and front springs "settle or bed in”, this can take between 18 - 36 holes of golf
- during this “break in” period please take sharp turns slowly and carefully.
Accelerate and brake accordingly with care. MOST IMPORTANT: Very SLOWLY and with CONSTANT SMOOTH
PRESSURE, pull the trigger toward you to accelerate then SLOWLY release the trigger to slow to a stop, GENTLY push
the trigger away from you, this will engage the braking system and bring you to a complete stop. Take time to become
familiar with accelerating and braking. Smooth action with the trigger controller is the key.
Never pull the trigger too quickly, or release it too suddenly without due care. Stepping on your GSC™ and pulling the
trigger too hard before setting your stance means you could be thrown-of backwards if you do not have the correct
operating method. When travelling at speed, pushing the trigger forward too harshly (engaging the braking system),
could throw you o headfirst if you do not use the correct operating method. Know your limits do not take
unnecessary risks. Just like driving any vehicle always brake in advance.
The GSC™ comes with soft start, a unique feature that allows the computer to control the amount of torque to the
wheels, allowing a “soft graduated start” during the first 2-3 metres of travel prior to maximum torque delivery. This is
a great safety feature, as the rider does not feel as if the GSC™ would runaway from them if the trigger controller was
inadvertently fully engaged. Soft start is also kind to the grass and does not allow the GSC™ to engage in wheel spin
and burn the grass or fairway.
NEVER STAND FACING FORWARD AS THE GSC™ IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE RIDDEN THIS WAY.
SYNCHRONIZING YOUR GSC™
TO ITS VARIABLE SPEED 2.4GHz HAND CONTROLLER
Operation of the GSC™ thumb and remote control
Your GSC™ has two modes of operation, which are linked via a wireless communication protocol.
• Wireless remote control •
Hard wired thumb controller
Remote Control Operation
The Golf Skate Caddy™ is supplied with an intelligent wireless remote control. This has the following features:
• Top Button - Instant on / 1 second press - off button
• Integrated LCD Screen
• Bottom left button - forward / reverse button
•
Bottom right button - speed up / speed down button with dual function long press lights on/off
Syncing your remote to the Golf Skate Caddy™
Turn o all other GSC™ units close by with 15 metres. Turn on remote control, then long push
the left and right buttons together. You will see the word “pairing” appearing on the remote
LCD screen, you will have 30 seconds to then switch on the GSC™ you want to pair. Once
finished the remote will be locked to that GSC™
Switching on the remote control whilst the GSC™ is on will automatically switch o the thumb controller, and allow all
acceleration and braking to be controlled by the remote control. You can still activate speeds 1, 2, 3 or 4, forward
/reverse and lights either via the CCS or the remote control.
Pulling the remote control trigger towards you will initiate a smooth acceleration. Pushing the trigger away from you
will activate the rapid brake cycle.
Braking distances for both remote and thumb controller
Speed 1 drag brake 4m (13ft) Speed 1 rapid brake 2m (6ft)
Speed 2 drag brake 6m (20 ft) Speed 2 rapid brake 3m (10ft)
Speed 3 drag brake 9m (30 ft) Speed 3 rapid brake 4.5m (15ft)
Speed 4 drag brake 12m (40ft) Speed 4 rapid brake 7m (23ft)
The remote LCD has 2 concentric rings, the outer ring shows the charge of the main GSC™ battery, the inner concentric
ring shows the charge of the remote internal battery. A centre speedometer shows current speed whilst travelling. A
small forward / reverse icon is visible top centre of the screen.
The remote control has a micro USB connection used for charging the internal battery. Use the supplied micro USB
cable and plug this into one of the dual USB charging ports on the GSC™ main pole to fully charge the remote control.
The remote control should be charged after every 36 holes of golf.
Thumb Controller Operation
The Golf Skate Caddy™ is supplied with a hard wired thumb controller / handle. This has the following features:
• Ergonomic ambidextrous cushioned handle
• Illuminated thumb slider
• Move slider forward - progressive smooth acceleration
• Move slider backwards - progressive smooth rapid brake
Operation of the Golf Skate Caddy™ with its unique handle and integrated thumb controller allows
accurate acceleration and braking whilst allowing a stable support for you to hold on to. The controller
employs a sophisticated technology which when released initiates a controlled drag brake to gently
bring the GSC™ to a stop or reduce speed confidently. For a more rapid controlled brake simply pull
back on the thumb controller. Always assess your path ahead and accelerate or brake according to
your situation... A little practice in speed 1 or 2 and you will be whizzing around the fairway in no time.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
The GSC™ comes with a specially designed 30Ah Lithium NMC battery. This battery was purposely built and over engineered,
so that we can take advantage of its large capacity. For long life we suggest that you never wear the batteries down to low
charge, (eg by playing several games of golf without charging) where you notice 1-2 bars as indicated on the computer
controller screen, as seen whilst riding on flat ground or in stationary mode. This shows that maximum capacity has already
been used and over time if this practice continues will deteriorate your battery and its life cycle. Never take the GSC™ out if
you notice a low charge on the battery indicator. This practice will void warranty and can be seen on our full diagnostic battery
management system readout.
Lithium NMC batteries like it when they are partially discharged then recharged back to FULL capacity. Whilst riding up steep
hills you may notice the battery indicator fluctuating due to the GSC’s™ power demand on the lithium pack… this is normal –
remember always take your readings whilst riding on flat ground or remaining stationary for the most accurate indication.
We would expect that a typical 18 hole game of golf with an average player would use around 40-50% capacity leaving ample
reserves and maintaining the battery in good health theoretically for 800-1000+ charges (we cannot guarantee this, as it is
impossible to verify whether the battery has been maintained in perfect working order for that time and should be used as a
guide only). The rechargeable battery that powers your GSC™ should however last several years if kept properly charged and
maintained correctly, performance will slowly decrease to the point where it may eventually fail to complete 18 holes of golf
and will need to be replaced.
To maintain maximum life, always keep your batteries charged when storing for extended periods. Recharge even after short
rides to maintain healthy batteries. While storing batteries recharge at least once a month for optimum battery life. And do
not forget to charge your GSC™ over those quiet times otherwise your battery may deteriorate more rapidly. It is best practice
to turn o your battery at the isolator switch located on the side of the battery when not in use.
It is safe to leave your charger connected to your battery even after the green light has indicated a full charge cycle, however
we do not recommend leaving connected for more than 1 week at a time.
For replacement, order genuine GSC™ replacement batteries from your dealer.
Fleet users should have a system where they charge their GSC™ battery after completion of every 18 holes of golf. Depending
on the golf course the GSC™ should be able to complete two rounds of 9 holes of golf on one charge, however a top up charge
is always recommended where ever possible.
Spare batteries are also available as an option to enable more rentals per GSC™ for commercial users. These batteries will also
need to be charged in between every 18 holes of golf.
ONCE AGAIN STORAGE OF YOUR BATTERY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS WITHOUT CHARGE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE. ALWAYS
ENSURE ONE FULL CHARGE EVERY 30 DAYS TO MAINTAIN YOUR BATTERY IN PROPER WORKING ORDER OR SWITCH
OFF ISOLATOR SWITCH ON BATTERY AND CHARGE EVERY 60-90 DAYS – DO NOT FORGET
Do Not Puncture battery. Do not dispose of battery in fire or trash. Do not expose battery to heat or direct sunlight. Dispose
of battery only at suitable battery disposable stations.
Always make sure your GSC™ is fully charged BEFORE EVERY GAME OR USE.
BEING IN CONTROL AND SAFETY
Being in control is everything, especially when commanding the braking system on your GSC™. Braking power is
relative to the speed you are travelling. If you let the remote trigger or thumb slider return to its neutral position, you
will activate the drag brake, which is a more gentle brake, which will allow you to coast to a predictable stop. Use this
technique as you approach a downhill or obstacle etc. before activating the rapid brake. If you engage rapid braking
at full speed, braking energy is greater than if you engage brakes whilst traveling at a slow speed. So when braking at
high speed, use a lighter touch! NOTE: When using the remote control If the signal between the remote control
Controller and GSC™ is lost or extends 20 m, the GSC™ automatic emergency braking will engage and bring the GSC
™ to a stop. When using the thumb slider If you fall o the GSC™ whilst the vehicle is in motion the GSC™ will activate
the brake and bring the vehicle to a stop. When riding downhill, be in control and always feather the brake accordingly
to maintain a safe speed. It is safer to ride slower and be in control than fast and out of control.
The GSC™ sports twin motors which oer exceptional traction across many surfaces, however If the hill is too steep,
you risk possibly over stressing the drive system, Get out and walk up those really steep hills beside the GSC™ holding
the mono handle to control direction and remember if there is a cart path try to take this up any steep sections of your
golf course.
CAUTION: Extreme and unchecked speed could result in serious injury or worse. When riding downhill, the motor
remains engaged at all times, providing some drag. To avoid building up too much speed, it’s advised you apply
frequent gentle braking by gently releasing the remote control or thumb slider and remember pulling the thumb slider
back or pushing the remote control trigger forward will activate the rapid brake. Your GSC™ has limitations even
though it is engineered to a high level of toughness, all mechanical and electronic systems have built in limits for safety
and eective operation. Excessively aggressive acceleration and braking will place uncontrolled strain on the Drive
Belt, shortening its service life.
Never ride down hills that put safety and GSC™ control at risk. High-speed collisions will do damage! Never ride down
hills that need prolonged, excessive harsh braking.
Maximum speed, range and stopping distance depend on your weight, the riding surface, incline, and wind direction
so use your common sense. Like riding a bicycle you need to feel the brakes and be in control at all times not slamming
the brakes on to harshly and wondering why you may have lost control.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE FOR THE GOLF SKATE CADDY
Under normal use, your GSC™ will require only routine maintenance.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. DO NOT
OPEN THE BATTERY BOX, MOTOR CONTROL ASSEMBLY, OR MOTOR. DOING SO WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
YOUR GSC™ IS NOT A FULLY WATERPROOF DEVICE BUT REGARDED AS WEATHERPROOF ONLY. TO PREVENT
ELECTRICAL DAMAGE, RIDING MUST BE AVOIDED IN HEAVY RAIN, MUD, OR OTHER SIGNIFICANT WET AREAS.
ALWAYS KEEP YOUR GSC™ CLEAN AND FREE OF MOISTURE. WHEN TIGHTENING FITTINGS: DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN!
Over time, vibrations from normal use may cause some external bolt and screw fittings to loosen, especially if riding
on rough surfaces. Check all fasteners for tightness before each use. Check and tighten all screws and nuts after every
75-100 hours of riding. Do not over-tighten, as stripping can result. Snug is tight enough. If you hear a new noise, pay
attention to it. Trucks and springs are factory preset and should not be adjusted.
The Golf Skate Caddy’s maintenance is very simple, straightforward and can be undertaken by any golf club mechanic
or handy person.
TYRES
• These should be maintained at 40-50psi, this should be checked every week, always ensure they have valve caps
fitted.
• Check for excessive wear, tyres can be rotated with the drive wheel, which will wear more quickly than non-drive
wheels.
• Tyres are split rims, take apart by letting air out of inner tube, removing bolts and splitting rim. When replacing
reverse procedure - but be careful not to pinch inner tube against both section of wheel.
BELT DRIVE
The belt drive needs regular checking every 6-8 weeks to ensure problem free travel. The GSC™ uses Gates Powergrip
GT3 drive belts, which are built tough, but is also the component that takes the most punishment and will eventually
wear out. Drive belt life also depends on your riding style. If your belt starts to make a clicking sound upon braking or
acceleration and becomes progressively worse, this is a sign of belt fatigue and should be changed.
To change the belt, follow these instructions:
• Remove the drive wheel by undoing the axle nut and washers. Grab the wheel with both hands turn clockwise and
pull up on the wheel to remove from the axle.

wheel is pushed up against the axle slot… which is great.
• Replace the washers and axle nut, being careful not to over tighten.

AXLE
The front and rear axles are preset and do not need adjustment. The front axle has two compression springs either side
of the main urethane bush. Removal and replacement of these springs require due care. When replacing the springs
or bush you will need to remove the 4 bolts holding down the base plate. The springs will cause the axle to rise,
allowing you to remove the front assembly. Change springs and bush if needed and reverse order to replace the axle
and motor assembly. Should there be a need to remove the main urethane bush it will need to be reinstalled to a
preset torque setting of 22Nm this can ne achieved using an electonic torque wrench.
SYNTHETIC GRASS COVERING
This specialised surface is designed to be used with golf shoes that have synthetic spikes. If you do not own a pair of
golf shoes with synthetic spikes it is recommended that you purchase these for use when riding the GSC™ to ensure
you have the best grip possible. The use of sports shoes with aggressive tread pattern may be used, however it is NOT
recommended that you ride the GSC™ with any footwear that has a smooth sole.
DO NOT WEAR METAL SPIKED GOLF SHOES AS THIS WILL DAMAGE LOGO GRASS SURFACE.
Due to excessive wear it may be necessary to replace the GSC™ mat.
• Ensure that you remove the kickstand bolt.
• The logo grass surface has a Velcro back.
• Peel back the synthetic grass covering and replace with new covering.
• Ensure that you replace the kickstand bolt securely.

TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS
The indicator light on the charger is red.
Recharge the GSC™ until the light turns green.
If the light stays red, your batteries may be dead and cannot be recharged. We have specialised equipment to
check this and you may need to return the battery to us. Refer to returns policy above under warranty terms
& conditions.
Don’t forget it can take up to 1-3 hours of solid charging, before the red light on the charger goes out.
Also, check the wiring of the battery, make sure that all wires are connected in the
battery box and none have been broken loose.
If the charger light won’t go red when plugged into the battery, the charger may be broken and need
replacement. Contact us and we’ll ship an immediate replacement If still under warranty.
GSC™ and Trigger Controller do not synchronize properly. Refer to
synchronization steps above.
Turn GSC™ and Trigger Controller OFF.
Turn GSC™ ON, and turn Trigger Controller ON. Wait 10 seconds to establish connection.

Controller and GSC™ receiver are wet or moist.
Drain, and allow to thoroughly dry out. If damaged beyond repair, trigger controller may need replacement.
GSC™ is not charged, but charger always reads GREEN when plugged in.
Replace the charger.
I can’t charge my GSC™!
Either the charger or the battery is at fault.
Here’s how to quickly find out which one is at fault: Check battery status and voltage on the computer
control screen. A fully charged battery should have 6 bars illuminated and be between 37.5v-40v. If after a
full charge your battery reads less than 4 bars or under 35v your battery may be at fault. You may need to
return this to your GSC™ distributor to check. To check your charger plug into a partially used battery, if your
charge light remains green and does not turn red then your charger needs to be replaced. Always ensure
that when you plug in your charger and the red light illuminates your charger fan starts to operate, failure for
fan to start may cause overheating of charger and permanent damage. Your fan will not operate if green
light is visible.
If your battery feels hot to touch, disconnect immediately and contact your distributor for advice.
Bearing is noisy or damaged.
Place GSC™ on side and turn wheel, If checking a drive wheel you may need to remove drive belt first, if noisy
or feels gritty then you need to change bearing.
One of the motors run, but drive wheel does not turn.
Drive Belt is broken. Replace Drive Belt. Drive back carefully on remaining motor and do not tackle large or
steep hills unless you are walking next to GSC™.
Strong vibration or loud high-pitched noise while riding.
Drive belt is loose or has worn out – listen to see where sound is coming from to identify forward or rear belt.
Check if all wheels are smooth to turn, pumped up, if the drive wheel does not feel like it turns with even
pressure in a full rotation, a stone, wood, debris may be inside the belt housing, remove the drive wheel check
for anything while turning the drive wheel, remove, clean, check for damage on the teeth of the drive belt and
sprockets.
