GENERAL
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new Travel Scooter for the first time without
completely reading and understanding this owner’s manual.
Your Travel Scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride
provides an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the Travel Scooter user. Please
be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of Travel Scooter to be used
is the responsibility of the Travel Scooter user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her
healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted
the Travel Scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized
Pride Provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the Travel Scooter user will need
to practice operating the Travel Scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be
defined as a family member or care professional specially trained in assisting a Travel Scooter user in
various daily living activities.
As you begin using your Travel Scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in
which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident
control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate
terrain.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed
to operating the Travel Scooter safely.
MODIFICATIONS
Pride has designed and engineered your Travel Scooter to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide
range of accessories is available from your authorized Pride Provider to further customize your Travel
Scooter to better suit your needs and/or preferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify,
add, remove, or disable any feature, part, or function of your Travel Scooter.
WARNING! Do not modify your Travel Scooter in any way not authorized by Pride. Do not
use accessories if they have not been tested or approved for Pride products.
REMOVABLE PARTS
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move your Travel Scooter by any of its removable
parts, including the armrests, seat, or shroud. Pride recommends use of only solid, non-
removable frame components such as Travel Scooter securement points or the front and
rear frame weldments to lift or move your Travel Scooter.
WARNING! Lifting the Travel Scooter should be accomplished with no fewer than three
people, one at the front and two at the rear of the unit.
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your Travel Scooter and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a
safety check before each use to make sure your Travel Scooter operates smoothly and safely.

10 www.pridemobility.com Go-Go ES
Perform the following inspections prior to using your Travel Scooter:
Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated
on each tire if equipped with pneumatic tires.
Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly.
Check the brakes.
Check battery charge.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.
TIRE INFLATION
If your Travel Scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked
at least once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the
smooth operation of your Travel Scooter.
WARNING! It is critically important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each
tire be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your
tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure
to maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires at all times
may result in tire and/or wheel failure.
WARNING! Inflate your Travel Scooter tires from a regulated air source with an available
pressure gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate
them, resulting in a burst tire.
NOTE: If tires on your Travel Scooter list the psi rating only, use the following conversion formulas to
find the bar or kPa rating: bar = psi x 0.06895, kPa = psi x 6.89476.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your Travel Scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for
information. Keep in mind that the maximum weight capacity includes the combined weight of the user
and any accessories mounted to the Travel Scooter.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity for your Travel Scooter.
Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty. Pride will not be held responsible for
injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your Travel Scooter. Carrying passengers on your
Travel Scooter may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
INCLINE INFORMATION
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees 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 Travel Scooter.
Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
Take wide swings with your Travel Scooter around any tight corners. If you do that, the Travel
Scooter’s rear wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung
up on any railing corners.
When driving down a ramp, keep the Travel Scooter’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting
to ensure a safely controlled descent.
Avoid sudden stops and starts.
II. SAFETY

11
Go-Go ES www.pridemobility.com
II. SAFETY
When climbing an incline, try to keep your Travel Scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly,
and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial
to the slowest setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your Travel Scooter starts to move down
the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the
throttle control lever. Then push the throttle control lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled
descent.
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the Travel
Scooter in freewheel mode while seated on it or standing next to it.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face
of the incline. Drive your Travel Scooter straight up the incline. This greatly
reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when
negotiating an incline.
WARNING! Do not drive your Travel Scooter across the side of an incline or diag-
onally up or down an incline; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down an
incline.
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e.,
areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
WARNING! Even though your Travel Scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater
than those listed in the product specifications, do not, under any circumstances,
exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications. Doing so could cause
instability in your Travel Scooter.
Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do
not necessarily share the same standard percent of slope. Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made,
not designed specifically for Travel Scooters.
Tests were conducted with the Travel Scooter’s seat in the highest position and adjusted rearward on the
seat base to its farthest rearward position. Use the specification information as a guideline. Your Travel
Scooter’s ability to travel up inclines is affected by your weight, your Travel Scooter’s speed, your angle
of approach to the incline and your Travel Scooter setup.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is listed in the
product specifications may put your Travel Scooter in an unstable position and cause it
to tip.
WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 15 lbs. (6.8 kg). Never fill the
front or rear basket with contents exceeding 15 lbs. (6.8 kg).

12 www.pridemobility.com Go-Go ES
II. SAFETY
Figure 2. Increased Stability Driving Position
Figure 1. Normal Driving Position
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 1 and 2. This shifts the center of
gravity of you and your Travel Scooter toward the front of the Travel Scooter for improved stability.
NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the
powered Travel Scooter may "rollback" approximately 1 foot (30.5 cm) before the brake engages. If
the throttle control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered Travel Scooter may "roll-
back" approximately 3 feet (1 meter) before the brake engages.
CORNERING INFORMATION
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 road surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction
(such as passing from a grassy area to a paved area – especially at high speed while turning), and abrupt
directional changes. High cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a
corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your Travel
Scooter from tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center of
gravity. When using your Travel Scooter at higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This
greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall.
BRAKING INFORMATION
Your Travel Scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems:
Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the
center/stop position.
Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or
when power is removed from the system for any reason.

II. SAFETY
Figure 3. Correct Curb Approach Figure 3A. Incorrect Curb Approach
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your Travel Scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level
surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times
when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your Travel Scooter is designed to perform
admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your Travel Scooter safely on lawns and in
park areas.
Avoid driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
Do not use your Travel Scooter in fresh or salt water.
Do not use your Travel Scooter at the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean.
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS
WARNING! You should not operate your Travel Scooter on public streets and roadways.
Be aware that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your Travel
Scooter. Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and
then proceed with extreme caution.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs
(curbs, porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Travel Scooter climb or descend an obstacle that
is inordinately high.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Travel Scooter proceed backward down any
step, curb, or other obstacle. This may cause the Travel Scooter to tip.
WARNING! Be sure your Travel Scooter is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may
be required to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.
WARNING! Even though your Travel Scooter may be capable of handling greater
obstacles, Pride recommends that you do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a
height greater than 2 in. (5 cm). Doing so could cause instability in your Travel Scooter.

II. SAFETY
INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
Exposure of your Travel Scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible.
If suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your Travel Scooter, proceed to
shelter at the earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your Travel Scooter before storing, charging, or oper-
ating your Travel Scooter.
PROHIBITED! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy slippery
surfaces can have an adverse effect on the electrical system. Maintain and store your
Travel Scooter in a dry and clean condition.
WARNING! Prolonged exposure to hot or cold conditions may affect the temperature of
upholstered and non-upholstered items on the Travel Scooter, possibly resulting in skin
irritation. Exercise caution when using your Travel Scooter in extremely hot or cold
conditions or when exposing your Travel Scooter to direct sunlight for prolonged periods
of time.
FREEWHEEL MODE
Your Travel Scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when pushed forward, allows the
Travel Scooter to be pushed. For more information about how to place your Travel Scooter into and out
of freewheel mode, see III. “Your Travel Scooter.”
WARNING! When your Travel Scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is
disengaged.
 Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.
 Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.
 Stand beside the Travel Scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on
a Travel Scooter to do this.
 After you have finished pushing your Travel Scooter, always return it to the drive mode
to lock the brakes.
An added feature built into the Travel Scooter is “push-too-fast” protection which safeguards the Travel
Scooter against gaining excessive speed while in freewheel mode.
“Push-too-fast” operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:
If the key is switched “off” while in freewheel mode, the Travel Scooter’s controller activates regen-
erative braking when the Travel Scooter is pushed faster than a maximum threshold which has been
preprogrammed. In this case, the controller is acting as a speed governor.
If the key is switched “on” while in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable resistance at any
speed. This prevents the Travel Scooter from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual free-
wheel lever inadvertently be released while driving the Travel Scooter.
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not disconnect the batteries when the Travel
Scooter is in freewheel mode as this may interfere with the function of the controller.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Travel Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Do not use your Travel Scooter to negotiate steps or escalators.
DOORS
Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
Drive your Travel Scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your Travel
Scooter gently and slowly rearwards to pull the door open.

15
Go-Go ES www.pridemobility.com
II. SAFETY
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge
or allow the rubber door edge to contact the Travel Scooter and the door will reopen.
Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Travel Scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator
doors.
NOTE: If your Travel Scooter’s turning radius is greater than 60 in. (152.4 cm), it may be difficult to
maneuver in elevators and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your
Travel Scooter in small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
LIFT SYSTEMS/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be transporting your Travel Scooter during travel, you may find it necessary to use a vehicle-
mounted lift system or elevation product to aid in transportation. Pride recommends that you closely
review the warnings, instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth by the manufacturer of
the lift/elevation product before using that product.
WARNING! Not all lift systems/elevation products are rated for use with an occupied
mobility device. Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your Travel Scooter
when it is being used in connection with any type of lift system/elevation product unless:
That product is rated for occupied use by the manufacturer.
You are able to occupy your mobility device in strict conformity with the warnings,
instructions, specifications, and safety guidelines set forth by the manufacturer.
WARNING! Always turn off the power to the Travel Scooter when you are being
transferred via an elevation product. Failure to do so may result in accidental throttle
control lever contact, resulting in unintended movement and personal injury or product
damage.
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash
hands after handling.
WARNING! Travel Scooter batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are
unable to lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques
and avoid lifting beyond your capacity.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen
battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in damage to the battery.
WARNING! Connect the battery harnesses in the proper manner. RED (+) cables
must be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables must
be connected to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Protective caps must be
installed over all battery terminals. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.
BATTERIES AND RECYCLING
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and contact your
local waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal and battery recycling,
which is our recommended course of action.

16 www.pridemobility.com Go-Go ES
II. SAFETY
PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period
of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle
control lever contact.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your Travel Scooter while traveling in a motor vehicle.
The Travel Scooter should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with the batteries
removed and/or properly secured. In addition, all removable Travel Scooter parts, including the armrests,
seat, and shroud should be removed and/or properly secured during motor vehicle transport.
WARNING! Although your Travel Scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this
belt is not designed to provide restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone travelling
in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle seat with safety belts
fastened securely.
WARNING! Do not sit on your Travel Scooter while it is in a moving vehicle.
WARNING! Always be sure your Travel Scooter and its batteries are properly secured
when it is being transported. Batteries should be secured in an upright position, and
protective caps should be installed on the battery terminals. Batteries should not be
transported with any flammable or combustible items.
GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR TRAVEL SCOOTER
Getting onto and off of your Travel Scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following
safety tips when getting onto and off of your Travel Scooter:
Ensure that your Travel Scooter is not in freewheel mode. See III. “Your Travel Scooter.”
Ensure that the seat is secured into place.
Pivot the armrests up to make getting onto and off of the Travel Scooter easier.
WARNING! Before transferring, remove the key from the key switch to prevent
unintended movement.
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the Travel Scooter seat to prevent
the Travel Scooter from tipping and causing injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the Travel Scooter armrests and do not use
the armrests for weight bearing purposes, such as transfers. Such use may cause the
Travel Scooter to tip, resulting in a fall from the Travel Scooter.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the
Travel Scooter to tip.
REACHING AND BENDING
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your Travel Scooter. Bending forward creates the risk of
accidental throttle control lever contact. Bending to the side while seated creates the risk of tipping. It is
important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the Travel Scooter from tipping. Pride
recommends that the Travel Scooter user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and
reaching in the presence of a qualified attendant.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the
Travel Scooter deck or from either side of the Travel Scooter. Movements such as these
may change your center of gravity and the weight distribution of the Travel Scooter and
cause your Travel Scooter to tip.
PROHIBITED! Keep your hands away from the tires when driving. Be aware that loose
fitting clothing can become caught in drive tires.

17
Go-Go ES www.pridemobility.com

II. SAFETY
ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency
waves can have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility
vehicles.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile
two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters,
wireless computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters and medium-range mobile transceivers
used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to
the control system. Every electrically-powered mobility vehicle has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI.
The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI. This product has been tested and
has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other types of radio
transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility
vehicle due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating your
mobility vehicle and avoid coming into close proximity of radio and TV stations.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the electrically-powered
mobility vehicle can increase the susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your
Travel Scooter in any way not authorized by Pride.
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself can disturb the performance
of other electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: For further information on EMI/RFI, go to the Resource Center on www.pridemobility.com. If
unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn the Travel Scooter off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call
Pride at 800-424-8205 to report the incident.
