CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Before you ride the Q33 for the first time, it is advised that the unit is to be fully
charged (4-6 hours) and fully discharged (ride until the battery gauge indicates low
battery) for at least three cycles to maximize the efficiency of the battery. After that,
you should continue to charge the battery frequently, at least once every 30 days to
prolong the battery lifespan.
IMPORTANT:
Do not leave the battery uncharged for more than 1 month; otherwise it will greatly
reduce the battery lifespan.
TIP FOR BATTERY CARE: Charge the battery after each use.
There are two options to charge your scooter
Option 1:
To charge the batteries, plug the charger into the charger
socket located on the rear side of the battery/ controller
compartment. Then plug the charger into a wall outlet.
Option 2: (for professional use only)
Remove the screws from the battery compartment
located at the front part of the footboard. Disconnect
the wires. Lift the battery box. Connect the battery and
charger using the charger convertible cable. Plug the
charger into the wall outlet.
RIDING THE Q33
Once you have completed the initial charge you are ready to ride. Remember, this is
not a toy. The Q33 can reach speeds up to 12 mph depending on the terrain and the
weight of the rider. You must wear a helmet and ordinances that govern and/or restrict
the use of powered scooters. The laws and ordinances vary greatly from municipality
to municipality. It is your responsibility to know and abide by your local restrictions.

To ride, plug the key into the key ignition and turn the key to the
“ON” position. The battery gauge will illuminate indicating that the
battery is in operation.
Hold onto the handlebars with both hands. Your left fingers will control the brakes and
your right thumb will control the thumb throttle. As you depress the throttle lever with
your thumb the speed will increase. Release the thumb throttle and apply the brake to
stop the scooter. You will control the speed of the scooter by using both the throttle
and the brake. When the brake handle is squeezed it cuts power to the throttle.
NOTE 2: When scooter is parked, press the power switch button to the “off” position;
this will avoid anyone from accidentally pushing the throttle causing the scooter to
speed forward. Failure to do this could lead to an accident.
DISASSEMBLING THE Q33
1. Unplug the power connecting plugs.
2. Unscrew the bolts and nuts from the connecting tube clamp using the enclosed
Allen wrenches.
3. Lift the connecting tube (which is also attached to the handlebar tube).
4. Carefully place the handlebar tube on the footrest frame.
5. Finger screw the bolts and nuts back to the connecting tube clamp to avoid any
misplacements.
MAINTENANCE
Battery: (for professional use only)
The Q33 is powered by three 12 volts, 12Ah rechargeable batteries secured under the
battery cover. Other than recharging, these batteries need to maintenance. To prolong
battery life you must recharge the battery after each use. You must also charge your
Q33 if it has not been used for 30 days or more. If you must replace the batteries,
they are located at the battery compartment at the footboard. To get them, remove
the compartment cover by loosening the screws. To remove the batteries disconnect
the wires from the battery terminals. Replace the batteries with new ones and

reconnect the wires. Follow the instructions on charging batteries to charge the new
batteries.
