power level. (2) It's better to take out the battery
when folding and un-folding. If not, be careful not to
touch the power switch to prevent any danger.
9. Armrest Width Adjustment(option): On each side at the
rear of the seat you will find a large black knob.
By simply loosening this knob you are able to slide the
armrests in or out to whatever width you desire.
Re-tighten the knobs fully. You may need a friend to assist
you with this initial setting up operation. This may extend
the width of your Scooter.
The backrest of your seat will not fully fold
forwards if the armrests are positioned too closely
towards one another.
Do not drive your Luggie with the arms
removed or in the raised position.
1.The handlebar of your Luggie is designed to allow you to
position it in a comfortable driving position. It can be locked
into numerous positions or unlocked to move freely for
transportation.
2.The handlebar lock is operated by a black lever positioned
on the right hand side of the handlebar ( see Fig 6 ).
To release the handlebar from a locked position pull the
black lever upwards, the handlebar will now move freely,
but under mild tension. To lock the handlebar into a
comfortable driving position, simply push the black lever
downwards until the handlebar is locked firmly into
position.
3.With the combination of the height adjustment together with
the handlebar movement, you should find a suitably

minutes, the battery indicator and green status light goes off.
To start your Scooter again simply switch off and back to on
again, your Scooter is now ready to go.
4. Status Light: When you turn your Luggie Scooter
on, the light on your console will illuminate at a
constant rate. The status light is connected to a very
sophisticated diagnostic system which can identify faults
which could occur on the main speed control system or
some other part of your Scooter's electronic drive system.
For instance if your batteries run low in power, the status
light will flash slowly at one flash a second; this indicates
your batteries need recharging.
If you notice the status light flashing at two flashes per
second, you are being notified that the battery voltage is too
low and you must stop using your Scooter at the earliest
opportunity. Your status light has nine similar flashing
diagnostic signals, reference to these diagnostic codes is
found under 'Fault Finding' at the rear of this manual.
5.Battery Condition Indicator: Located at power switch.
When your Scooter is switched on, the needles on
the gauge will move across the scale from the left 'red'
sector towards the 'green' sector, indicating the state of
charge in your batteries. As the power is used up in your
batteries the needle will move towards the red sector
indicating the state of charge at that precise time. When the
needle is fully over to the right (green sector), the batteries
are fully charged. When the needle falls towards the red
sector your batteries are losing power, but you will still have
power to spare. When the needle falls into the red sector
your batteries are low in power and need to be re-charged,
although you will still have approximately half-an-hours
normal flat pavement driving in reserve. It is not
recommended to use this power regularly as it will shorten
battery life. It is wise to re-charge your batteries when the
needle enters the red zone (see Batteries and Battery
Charging section of this manual).
Located front of the handlebar grips ( Fig 7 ). Your speed for
forwards and reverse motion and braking is controlled here.
The right thumb lever moves your in a forwards
direction and also controls the rate of speed by the
proportional amount of pressure applied. The left thumb
lever moves the in a reverse direction and controls
the rate of speed by the pressure applied. The lever
when released will return itself, and you will gently stop.
You will note that you can obtain the reverse of this
procedure by pulling the levers backwards with your thumb.
Do not hang bags etc over the steering handlebars
which could interfere with the movement of your control
lever. Failure to observe this warning could put you in a
dangerous situation.

red handled lever until a distinct click is felt (engage).

damage resulting from failure to observe these weight
limitations. Please also remember when carrying heavy objects
that this will increase your total weight and may make your
Scooter unstable.
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility
of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping
include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering
angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven surfaces,
inclined surfaces (such as heavily cambered pavements),
riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction
(such as passing from grass areas to a paved area - especially
at high speed while turning), and abrupt directional changes.
Do not corner at high speed! If you feel that you may tip
over in a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle to
prevent your Scooter from tipping.
When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When
using your Luggie at higher speeds, anticipate changes in the
road surface. This will greatly reduce the possibility of a tip
or fall. To avoid personal injury or property damage, always
exercise common sense when cornering.
Your Luggie Scooter is equipped with two powerful
brake systems:
1. Regenerative: Uses the electricity generated in your
Luggie drive motor to rapidly slow your Scooter when
the thumb direction lever (wig-wag lever) is returned
to the centre (zero drive) stop position.
2. Electric/Mechanical Disc Park Brake: Located on the end
of your drive motor it activates mechanically after the
regenerative brake slows your Scooter to a near stop, or
when power is removed from the drive system for any
reason, as in the case of switching your machine off!
Brake engagement is far more abrupt at higher speeds. It is
important that you anticipate when the brakes will engage
and that you are braced for the resulting deceleration.

Luggie has designed your Luggie Scooter to provide
maximum mobility. A range of accessories are available
from Authorised Luggie Agents, to further customise your
Scooter needs. However, under no circumstances should you
modify, add, remove or disable any feature, part or function
of your machine. Failure to observe this warning
may result in personal injury and/or damage to your Scooter.
More and more modern buildings are designed with disability
access in mind. Ramps have specified percentage of
inclination, designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps
may have turning switchbacks (180 degree turns) that require
you to have good cornering skills on your Scooter.
Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the
downgrade of a ramp or other incline, sit right back in
your seat, brace your arms on the handlebars and your
feet on the floorboard
Take a wide arc with your Luggie's front wheel around
tight corners, your rear wheels will follow preventing you
from cutting the corner short and bumping or getting
hung up on raised kerbs.
When descending an incline keep your speed adjustment
set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a safely
controlled descent and driving in a forward direction
only. If your Scooter descent is quicker than you
anticipated allow the Scooter to completely stop, then
progress at a slower speed setting.
When climbing an incline, try to keep your Scooter
moving, if you must stop, start up again slowly and then
accelerate smoothly with caution. Avoid sudden stop
starts, lean forward towards your handlebars to increase
stability and prevent rearward tipping.
When climbing an incline, do not zig-zag or drive
at an angle up the face of the incline. Drive your Scooter
smoothly up the incline without stopping, this greatly reduces
the possibility of a tip or fall.
You should not travel over a potentially hazardous
incline i.e. areas covered with ice or snow, cut grass or wet
leaves or any unstable surface.

When you start using your Luggie you will meet some
obstacles that will require some practice to drive through
smoothly.
Here are some common problems, with tips that will help
you master them quickly. You will soon be in control through
doors and up and down ramps with surprising ease by
following these tips.
Approach an unfamiliar door slowly, sizing it up. Does it
have a knob or push bar? Does it open toward you or away?
Think in terms of using the power of the Luggie to
do the work for you! You need not strain.
Hold the doorknob or bar in one hand and apply power with
the other hand. (Remember that you can drive forwards by
using your left thumb to move the wig-wag lever towards
you.) If the door is self closing, you can go through, allowing
the door to close behind you, if you go quickly enough. If
not, just stop when you're clear of the door and push it
closed.
If the door opens toward you, hold the knob or bar with one
hand and gently let the reverse power do the work. When the
door is open wide enough, go ahead quickly, leaving the
hand on the door to keep it free of the Scooter and letting go
as you pass the doorjamb. It is an easy technique. Practice
makes perfect. Remember - your Luggie can do the
work without wearing you out!
Going through doors, with the back wheels: If you're not
moving, your rear wheel is probably caught. Reverse and try
again. Take your time - relax - enjoy yourself.
More and more buildings have ramps for wheelchair access.
Some have a change of direction in the middle, and good
cornering is required.
Make a wide manoeuvre with your front wheel around tight
corners, so that your back wheels follow a wide arc to stay
clear of the corner.
If you stop while facing uphill, the automatic parking brake
will hold you safe. To start again, slowly push the forward
direction lever, the parking brake will release and you will
start to move.
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward,
( Fig 10,Fig11 ,page 15 ). This moves the centre of gravity
of your Luggie towards the front of the Scooter for improved
stability.

Warning:
If you are not an accomplished outdoors mobility
product driver, we strongly recommend that you first
practice in an open area, free from traffic and preferably
with an attendant who can assist you.
Next, switch on (The battery state indicator will move and
the status light will illuminate).
Gently press the right thumb control lever ( Fig 8, page 8 )
to start you in a forward direction. To stop simply release
the lever, the brakes will be automatically applied.
Please take care not to have your thumb on the
forward/reverse control lever when you switch 'on' your
Luggie; this will result in your machine going into a
fault mode. Switch 'off' then 'on' again to clear the fault.
If your Luggie has been adapted for left
hand, forward operation then this procedure will be
reversed: i.e. pressing with the left thumb for forward
direction and the right thumb for reverse direction.
DISMOUNTING
LEARNING TO GET ABOUT
REMEMBER :
that a back wheel will go off the pavement, causing a stability
problem. Avoid this at all times by steering an exaggerated
wide arc around the obstacle.
If you must steer in a tight spot, such as entering a doorway
or when turning around, stop, turn the handlebars to where
you want to go, then apply the power gently. This will make
the Luggie turn sharply. It will still go gently, and with
complete stability. Practice in an open area, until you are
Proficient. Reversing requires attention ( Fig 8,page 8 ).
Remember, when you reverse you have to steer in the
opposite direction to the way you want to go. Practice is
required here, again use that open space. Please note as a
safety requirement reverse speed is half of forward speed.
Note: If your Luggie is set up for left forward driving the
afore mentioned description is reversed.
If it is a tight turn, turn your steering column
before applying power. Steer wide of all corners and obstacles,
please move slowly and with care.
Do not switch off when your Luggie is in motion,
failure to observe this warning may irreparably damage the
main electronic speed control unit or drive transmission.
Always first slow your Luggie down to a stationery position
before you switch your Scooter off.

Whether it is for a holiday, a day out to visit family or
friends, or a trip to the shops, your Luggie can be taken
along too.
Depending on the size or model of your car you will be able
to load your Luggie in one of the following methods.
1. With the aid of a car hoist. Your dealer will be able to
advise on suitable equipment.
2. With the aid of ramps. Ramps will aid you to drive your
Luggie Scooter straight into a people carrier or
estate car. If the rear opening is low you may have to
remove your Luggie seat and lower the handlebars.
3. With the seat and batteries removed to reduce weight, lift
the scooter in one piece into a small hatchback or estate
car ( see fig 14 ).
To enable your Luggie Scooter to be carried in a
suitable estate or hatchback car ( Fig 14 ), follow these
simple instructions for dismantling your scooter. This
procedure can be carried out quickly and without tools
(Operating you Luggie see page 6).
Place the batteries on a firm and safe surface. Your batteries
are sealed and cannot spill if tipped over. Always carry
the batteries upright.
Do not place metal objects over open battery
terminals. BEWARE of short circuits.
You must never attempt to drive your

BATTERIES
Your Luggie Scooter is equipped a battery pack with two
maintenance free 12 volt 18Amp/hr batteries.
Lithium battery optional. The batteries are linked together
by wiring cables to supply the electronic system with 24
volts of Power.
1. Position battery pack onto the Scooter frame as the
diagram below.
to show the state of charge in the batteries and your
Scooter is ready to drive 3.
3. Switch off your Scooter, fit the seat.
Batteries are heavy (14 Kgs), always handle with
two hands. Do not allow metal tools to touch both battery
terminal together, this will cause an electrical short and may
damage the battery and injure you. Failure to observe this
warning may cause an explosion, short circuit, fire or
injury to your person.
Your Luggie has a lot of power for a small Scooter. Keeping
it working to its maximum potential means that its two
batteries must be maintained with full power. Nightly
recharging, after use, will help you to give them a longer
life and will ensure your Luggie is always ready to go when
you are.
Your Luggie is fitted with two sealed maintenance-free
batteries, especially designed for motive traction use.
This means that you do not have to worry about topping
up the cells.
Do not attempt to remove the safety valves
situated in the top of the battery. Failure to observe this
warning will invalidate your battery guarantee. Your Luggie
batteries are virtually maintenance-free because the
electrolyte is immobilized in a special form and therefore
will not leak out, even if the battery is accidentally
Overturned.
Because your Luggie batteries are sealed they are more
likely to be accepted for carriage on aircraft. Please consult
your carrier prior to departure, as they will need advance
warning that you wish them to carry batteries.
Please note: Each carrier reserves the right not to carry what
may be termed 'HAZARDOUS CARGO'. Luggie cannot be
held responsible for their final decision.
Warning : It is imperative that the two batteries are connected
correctly to prevent a short circuit between the two batteries.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Your Luggie batteries will need to be recharged when the
battery condition indicator gauge located on the handlebar
console ( Fig 7,page 8 ), is reading in the far left of the
green scale or into the red sector. 'Green' indicates a full
charge (to the far right), down to half charge (to the far left
of the scale). 'Red' indicates that less than half charge
is remaining in the batteries.
NOTE: The batteries will have a longer life if you do not
use up all of the battery's power and recharge as soon
as the battery condition gauge enters the red sector of
the scale, rather than letting it go right over to the far
left of the red scale. To charge your batteries follow
these simple steps:
1. Switch off your Luggie.
2. Your Charger has two leads exiting from it. One lead
has a 3-pin mains plug fitted to it. The second lead
has a 3-pin round charging connector on its end.
Connect the round 3-pin charging connector to the
3-pin charge socket, which is located in the centre rear
body cover and marked "CHARGE" ( Fig 19 ).

1. Disconnect from the mains supply before removing
the 3-pin charge plug from the charge socket..
2. The Luggie Charger is for indoor use only:
3. Do not smoke or use naked flame near your batteries
while they are being charged.
4. Do not use an extension lead unless absolutely
necessary.Use of an improper extension lead could
result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
5. Do not use the Charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped or otherwise mis-used in anyway. Return
Charger to your Authorised Luggie Agent.
6. Do not dismantle the Charger, poke or drop objects
through the slots in the Charger case.
7. Do not switch off, unplug or interrupt the re-charge
cycle until the charging cycle has completed. Failure to
observe this instruction can result in overcharging of
the batteries
8. There is a drive inhibit function on your Scooter. The
Scooter cannot be driven when the Charger is plugged
into your Luggie.
9. Slight heat on the exterior while charging. Avoid exposure
to heat.
1. For longest life, your batteries should be re-charged
after use. Preferably over night.
2. If your Luggie is not used for a period of time, a refreshing
charge should be given every month.
Never leave your batteries in a discharged condition.
This is particularly important with sealed batteries as
fitted to your Luggie. If your batteries discharge below
a total terminal voltage of 12 volts (6 volts per battery),
the charger supplied with your Scooter will not
operate. Please consult your Luggie dealer.
3. If your Luggie has been stored away for
some time,re-charge your batteries before re-using it.
4. Every six months, check the connections on the battery
pack, making sure they are clean.

battery life. The length of time to re-charge your batteries will
vary from 4 up to 6 hours. This variation in time is due to
the following factors:
1. Depth of discharge - The amount of energy you have
removed from your batteries when driving your Scooter.
2. Battery age - This is due to the changes in their internal
electrical resistance. Note very old batteries may take
longer to fully recharge.
In most safe domestic environments, i.e. your house, garage
or shed. Do not expose to rain or spray - for indoor use only.
Later on in this information, there is reference to the way
temperature variations can affect The performance of your
vehicle. When charging your batteries where reasonably
practicable, ensure that the battery Charger is close to the
vehicle being charged so That the temperature of the battery
charger and batteries are almost compatible. For example,
a vehicle may be outside whilst the battery charger is inside.
It is possible in this situation that the battery Charger will
sense the inside temperature, whereas the batteries on
the vehicle will be at the outside temperature, resulting
in an undercharged situation. This situation must be avoided.
Many factors come into play when deciding how often to
charge your batteries. You may use your vehicle all day on a
daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time. Other
factors such as driver and baggage weight, smooth or rough
terrain, flat areas or inclines and speed must all be considered.
With these variables you should concern yourself with two
questions: HOW OFTEN should I charge and for HOW
LONG? The Charger is designed so that it is impossible to
overcharge your batteries. If you follow the guidelines below,
your batteries will provide safe and reliable operation.
1. If you use your vehicle during the day. put it on charge
as soon as you have finished using it. The Charger is
fully automatic so it will not overcharge your batteries.
Your vehicle will be ready each morning to give you
several hours use. It is recommended that you charge
your batteries after daily use until the green 'Charge
Complete' light illuminates.
2. If you use your vehicle infrequently (once a week or less)
you should charge it at least once per week until the
green light illuminates. Remember: Keep your batteries
fully charged and avoid deeply discharging them.
3. Storing batteries : Batteries should always be stored fully
charged. Check once a month and recharge fully if needed.
Sealed batteries can hold their charge for approx.
6 months. If they are left connected on the Scooter,
remember key switches, meters and electronic circuits can
drain the batteries rapidly. It is advisable to disconnect the
batteries for prolonged storage. Store in a warm, dry room.
Simply put, a fully charged battery is a happy battery!
A fully charged battery will provide reliable performance and
extended battery life, so keep your batteries fully charged

5. Batteries carry a limited guarantee from the original
manufacturer which is subject to a stringent wear and
tear clause. Any battery faults due to a defect in the
original manufacture will normally become obvious
within the first two months. Any gradual deterioration
in performance after this period is normally associated
with fair wear and tear, mis-use or accidental damage
and, as such, is not covered by the manufacturer's
warranty. (This does not affect your statutory rights).
Note: If one battery becomes faulty during the guarantee
period only that battery from the pair will be replaced.
In circumstances when your Scooter is stowed in your car
etc., your batteries can be recharged away from your Scooter
with charging cable. The cable links together your battery
pack and Charger. Simply connect the 3-pin plug on your
battery pack ,Connect your Charger to a convenient wall
socket, switch on, your batteries are now being recharged
away from your Scooter.
Batteries are the fuel tank for your Scooter. They provide
the vital energy to power your vehicle. When you ride your
Scooter, the drive motor consumes the energy stored in
the batteries. The battery's energy is gradually reduced
over the period of driving time and will need to be replaced
before you can use your Scooter again. Similar to the
situation with a motor car, in that you need to replenish the
petrol as it is used up as energy, likewise with your Scooter,
you need to replace the used battery energy by re-charging
the discharged battery cells.
Your battery Charger is an intelligent automatic charging
instrument. Your Charger's robust framework contains a
number of quality components; namely a transformer, rectifier
and complex control circuitry. The Charger receives the 230
volts domestic electricity supply via a standard 3-pin wall plug
and reduces this voltage down to 24volts via a transformer.
At the same time it rectifies the A.C., alternating domestic
current into D.C., direct current. This matches exactly, the
voltage characteristics stored by your Scooter's batteries.
Your Charger automatically controls the re-charge cycle
from the moment that you switch it on to the moment the
green 'Charge Complete' light on the face of your Charger
illuminates. When your battery's voltage is very low, the
Charger will work extremely hard to replenish the spent energy.
This is called the 'Bulk Charging' stage. As the battery voltage
approaches 90% of the full charge capacity, the Charger
reduces its output for the final stage of the re-charge cycle.
The time taken from switch-on to the end of the bulk
charging will vary, depending on the amount that the batteries
have been used, or in time their age. At this point a timer is
automatically started, to regulate the final stage of the
charging cycle, this set time ensures maximum capacity and

again. The batteries will now perform to over 90% of their
full potential.
4. After ten to fifteen charging cycles, the batteries will top
off at 100% charge and last for an extended period due to
your patience and care in the first few days of operation.
Rarely do we have an ideal driving situation such as a smooth,
flat, hard terrain with no wind or curves and warm
temperatures. More often, we are presented with hills,
uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, wind, cold and
heavy loads. All of these factors will affect the distance or
running time per battery charge.
Here are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range
per charge:
1. Always charge your batteries fully prior to your trip.
It is a good idea to keep your Charger connected when
the Charge Complete' (green) light is illuminated in the
'Top-Up' maintance mode.
2. Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines, kerbs and
soft surfaces.
3. Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
4. Try to maintain an even speed to avoid stop and start
driving.
5. Ensure recommended routine servicing of the vehicle's
components, i.e. motors, brakes, electrical connections
etc., is carried out as instructed in this Users Instruction
Manual.
When working or disposing of your batteries
1.Do not allow metal objects to short out the terminals,
your battery could explode causing you injury.
2. Do not allow your batteries to freeze. If frozen allow
them to naturally thaw out before charging, failure to
observe this warning may damage the batteries.
3. If you need to replace your batteries, contact your Luggie
Agent. Only batteries supplied as original equipment on
your machine will give you the best performance. When
charging batteries make certain the positive and negative
terminals are correctly assembled. Failure to observe
this warning may cause an explosion, short circuit or fire.
4. Always handle batteries carefully, they are heavy.
Wear protective gloves and glasses when handling.
5. Dispose of worn out batteries carefully, contact your local
waste disposal authority.

whenever possible. Handling your batteries Extra care must
be taken when handling batteries, if you decide to fold your
vehicle for transportation etc. Dropped batteries, even from
a very small height, can lead to damage of the internal
components, causing premature cell failure.
Your batteries are sealed and do not require maintenance.
Do not force open the valves in the battery top.
Used batteries must not be disposed of by
means of a domestic refuse disposal unit (dustbin) etc.
Please contact your Dealer to dispose of used batteries.
Please note, he may charge for this service.
The batteries fitted to your vehicle are guaranteed against a
manufacturing or material defect for 6 months. Any battery
faults due to a defect in manufacture or materials will be
obvious within a few weeks of use. Your batteries are not
guaranteed to perform to full capacity for 6 months. This will,
of course be dependent on the actual use of the vehicle
and how often the batteries are cycled i.e. discharged and
charged. Gradual deterioration in performance and reduction
in range is normal and associated with fair wear-and-tear,
misuse or accidental damage. Under these circumstances,
the warranty will not apply. It is a fact that some users due to
their hectic lifestyle, weight or operating conditions, may
wear their batteries out during the original battery
manufacturer's guarantee period due to extensive use of
their Scooter. This is termed 'Cycle Life'. Batteries have a
defined number of discharge cycles they can make i.e. the
more times you use your Scooter the more cycles your
battery will make- the shorter their life span.If you take
time to run-in your batteries properly, it will be worth it.
Remember: how long your batteries will provide service is
quite often a reflection of the care they receive. This is
how to run-in your new batteries:
1. Fully recharge any new batteries prior to your initial use.
This will bring your battery up to about 88% performance.
2. Ride your vehicle around the house or garden. Do
not venture too far away until you become accustomed
to the controls and feel of the vehicle. This will gently
run-in your batteries.
3. Give your batteries another full charge and run the vehicle
