Designed to be used indoors as well as on pavements, the Relync R1 Class A mobility scooter features
the latest advanced technology. When being used on pavements, due care must be paid to pedestrians
who should be given priority and, while consideration should be shown to all pavement users,
pedestrians with impaired hearing or eyesight should be paid particular attention since they may not be
aware of your presence.
As a general rule and in the majority of countries, only the disabled are permitted to use a mobility
scooter. Those with the inability to walk any distance without aid are classed as disabled for this
purpose, for example the elderly, the physically disabled or those suffering from an injury or long term
medical condition. The exceptions to this are when the scooter is being demonstrated for sales or
training purposes or when it is being transported to a repair facility.
For purchasers who have not used a mobility scooter before or for those who have not used one for
some time, it is advisable to arrange training to gain full confidence in the steering, control and operation
of the scooter and, whether or not you have driven a motor vehicle before, it is also important to maintain
a good standard of driving skills. Training should also assess other important elements such as eyesight,
the ability to concentrate and react, balance, the safest and easiest way to get on and off the scooter,
posture when seated and the ability to sit in that position for sustained periods of time. Whilst an eyesight

INTRODUCTION
test is not required in order to use a mobility scooter, it is essential that the user has a good standard of
vision. Please bear in mind that vision does generally deteriorate with age and therefore regular eye
tests are recommended. If poor eyesight leads to an accident, then you could become liable to pay
compensation to any injured parties. For those who are registered as partially sighted, advice should be
sought from an optician or doctor whilst those who are registered as blind should not attempt to drive a
mobility scooter.
Users who have been prescribed medication which may cause drowsiness should assess whether the
use of a mobility scooter is safe or not and, if in any doubt, they should consult their doctor or medical
adviser. Mobility scooters should not be operated by anyone who has consumed alcohol.
The Relync R1 is designed to be driven on footpaths and pavements or on the road if there is no suitable
pavement or if there is a need to cross the road. Certain companies and authorities will allow mobility
scooters and their users access to trains and buses, providing these vehicles are able to carry a mobility
scooter and that they have available space. However, it's strongly suggested not to operate the scooter
within any motor vehicles.
Indications for Use
The Relync R1 is a mobility scooter which provides transport for the disabled and the elderly and to be
used indoors.
Intended Users
A mobility scooter is a battery-powered three wheeled vehicle intended for use by the disabled, the
elderly and those unable to walk any distance unaided in order to allow them independent mobility.
Intended users of the Relync R1 should consider factors such as eyesight, the ability to concentrate and
react, balance, the safest and easiest way to get on and off the scooter, posture when seated and the
ability to sit in that position for sustained periods of time. Intended users should have an adequate
standard of vision in order to see and avoid obstacles and be aware of pedestrians and road users.
The intended user of the Relync R1 is the person driving it for mobility purposes but they may seek
assistance for operations such as such as folding and unfolding .

The Relync R1 has been designed to ensure optimum mobility and ease of use and other accessories
are available from Relync to enhance its performance as well as the user's comfort. Apart from the
addition of these accessories, no part, feature or function of the scooter should be modified, removed or
disabled.
The Relync R1 has been designed to bear a maximum of 120kg user weight.
The air pressure of the pneumatic tyres on the rear wheels should be checked weekly. This will help the
scooter to run smoothly and also preserve the life of the tyres.
11 12
SAFETYSAFETY
WARNING! Never carry
passengers on the
scooter. This may result in
the scooter tipping over as a result of
an unstable centre of gravity.
WARNING! Always
inflate the pneumatic
tyres using a regulated
air hose with a pressure gauge
to avoid underinflating or
overinflating them.
WARNING! It is
vital that the
pneumatic tyres are
kept at a pressure of 30-36 psi.
If the tyres are underinflated,
control may be lost and if they
are overinflated there is a risk
that they will burst.
WARNING! If a tyre
has a puncture, do
not use the scooter.
It should be repaired locally
by a suitable facility or by a
Relync authorised dealer.
WARNING! Do not exceed the weight
capacity of 120 kg, doing so will
invalidate the warranty. Relync will
decline responsibility for any injuries or damage that
result from exceeding the specified weight capacity.
Modifications
In order to become familiar with the scooter and its capabilities, Relync suggests that each time the
scooter is used, a safety check is first carried out to ensure its smooth operation. These checks include:
·Correct tyre pressure
·Secure battery connections
·Efficient brake operation
·Fully charged battery
·All folding parts are securely locked
In the event that the safety check highlights a problem, please contact an authorised Relync dealer or
the original place of purchase.
Pre-ride Safety Check
Weight Limitations
Tyre Inflation

With increasing regulation regarding access for the elderly and disabled, many buildings now feature
ramps to facilitate ease and safety of access. Occasionally these ramps feature a 180 degree turn and
this will require particular attention to be paid to cornering when using the scooter.
·Approach the downhill part of a ramp with great caution.
·When approaching tight corners, do not try to cut them otherwise you may become stuck or collide
with the barriers. Instead, negotiate the corner in a wide arc leaving the scooter plenty of room to turn.
·On the downward part of a ramp, the speed adjustment must be set to the lowest setting for safety
and control purposes.
·Always try to avoid stopping or starting suddenly.
When negotiating an incline, it is essential to keep the scooter moving forward. If it is necessary to stop,
start off and accelerate slowly. When approaching a decline, the speed adjustment must be set to the
lowest setting for safety and control purposes. If the scooter gathers speed too quickly, release the
throttle and allow the scooter to come to a halt before carefully re-engaging the throttle to effect a
controlled and safe descent.
Not all countries have regulations in place that stipulate the requirements for public ramps for handicap
access and therefore the gradient of slopes may vary. In addition man-made or naturally occurring
slopes will not have been designed with mobility scooters in mind. Figure 1 below shows the stability of
the scooter and its capabilities in negotiating gradients with different weight loads during testing. The
seat is in its highest and most rearward positon which you should use as a guideline. User weight will
affect the scooter's ability to negotiate an incline in terms of its speed, setup and angle of approach.
13 14
SAFETYSAFETY
WARNING! Never drive the
scooter at an angle across the side
of an incline or up and down
diagonally. When negotiating an incline, try
not to stop if at all possible.
WARNING! Although the Relync R1
mobility scooter can climb slopes
exceeding those shown in figure 1, these
guidelines and any others referred to in this user
manual should be adhered to and not exceeded.
WARNING! If an incline is perceived
to be a hazard due to being covered
with snow,, ice, damp leaves etc, it
should be avoided.
WARNING! Never place the scooter
in the freewheel mode when you are
either seated or standing by it and
are on an incline or decline.
WARNING! When negotiating an incline, always drive the scooter in a straight line, do not
zig-zag or try to drive at an angle. Always be careful when climbing an incline and proceed
with caution.
WARNING! The scooter may become unstable and liable to tip if an attempt is made to
ascend or descend a gradient steeper than that shown in figure 1.
Incline

Figure 1. Maximum Recommended Incline Angle
On approaching an incline, it is advisable to lean forward as shown in figures 2A and 2B. The centre of
gravity of both yourself and the scooter automatically shift towards the front offeringincreased stability.
Figure 2A.normal Driving Position Figure 2B. Shifts Center Of Gravity
15 16
SAFETYSAFETY
Caution! When the throttle lever is released when the scooter is moving forward on a ramp,
the scooter is liable to roll back up to one foot until the brake is engaged. When the throttle
lever is released when the scooter is reversing, the scooter may roll back up to 3 feet before
the brake becomes effective.

Using excessive speed when cornering can cause the scooter to become unstable and increase the
likelihood of tipping. If you are concerned that the scooter may be about to tip over, immediately reduce
speed and lessen the sharpness of the angle of the turn. Apart from excessive speed and the sharpness
of the angle of the turn, there are other causes of tipping when cornering which include uneven or
inclined roads, sudden changes of direction and passing from one sort of surface to another, i.e. a soft
surface such as grass onto a harder paved area.
·The Relync R1 features two highly effective braking systems:
·The regenerative brake employs power from the batteries to quickly slow down the vehicle when the
throttle lever is placed in the centre or stop position.
·The parking brake is automatically activated after the regenerative brake has slowed the vehicle to a
stop or when the power has been disconnected.
17 18
SAFETYSAFETY
When used on normal driving surfaces such as tarmac, concrete etc, the Relync R1 has been
engineered to offer maximum stability but its design has been further enhanced to provide similar
stability on certain other surfaces such as grass, packed gravel and soil so it can be safely used, for
example, on lawns.
·Speed should be reduced when driving on abnormal or uneven surfaces
·The scooter should not be driven through tall grass or other vegetation as there is a risk that this may
become entangled around the axle
·The scooter should not be driven on loose gravel or sand
·Do not drive on a surface if you are not fully confident about doing so.
Stationary obstacles (steps, kerbs, etc.)
WARNING! Speed should be reduced and a stable centre of gravity kept when cornering
to avoid the risk of tipping. Never corner at high speed or sharply.
WARNING! Never drive close too close to an unguarded stationary obstacle such as a
kerb, step or staircase.
WARNING! Do not try to ascend or descend a stationary obstacle that is higher than
20mm.
WARNING! To avoid the risk of tipping, never drive backwards down a kerb or step.
Braking
Cornering Driving Surfaces

The scooter should not be exposed to inclement weather conditions wherever possible. If it begins to
rain or snow or if the weather becomes either severely hot or cold, shelter should be sought as soon as
possible. If the scooter becomes wet, it should be thoroughly dried before being used again or stored.
The ReLync R1 features a freewheel lever which is manually operated. The lever should be pushed
forward to allow the scooter to be rolled manually. More information regarding the freewheel mode can
be found in Section V Operating the Freewheel Mode on page 43.
·Before driving, always ensure that the scooter is not in freewheel mode and that the front wheel is
engaged.
·Always ensure that you are aware if the scooter is in driving mode with the front wheel locked or in
freewheel mode with the front wheel unlocked. For further instructions see the SAFETY SYMBOLS on
page 16 .
·When transporting the scooter, the front wheel must be locked. It must not be left unlocked in the
freewheel mode. For further instructions see the Freewheel section on page 43.
·Never sit on the scooter when it is in freewheel mode.
Batteries and Charger
·When the scooter batteries are being charged, children should not be allowed to play unsupervised
near the vehicle.
·Do not attempt to charge a battery which has become frozen.
·If a battery becomes damaged, cracked or has been tampered with, place it in a plastic bag and refer
to an authorised Relync dealer for instructions for its disposal.
·The DC cables should be protected from damage.
·An extension cable should not be connected to the battery charger.
·Original Relync Li-Ion batteries should always be used on the Relync R1 scooter.

EMI
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from radio wave sources
Radio and TV stations and transmitters and communication devices such as mobile phones and two
way radios may emit electromagnetic energy which could interfere with the scooter causing it to move by
itself or in an unintentional direction or for the brakes to be released. EMI (Electromagnetic Interference),
which is measured in volts per metre, may also damage the scooter's control system.
The Relync R1 has the ability to resist an EMI of up to 20 volts per metre which will provide adequate
protection from most common sources of EMI.
In normal daily life, some sources of fairly intense EMI may be encountered, some of which can be
easily avoided while others are not so obvious and exposure to them may be unavoidable. The list
below provides information about three sources of EMI.
1) Devices such as mobile phones, transceivers used by security and the emergency services, CB
radios, walkie-talkies and other hand-held transceivers with an antenna directly affixed to the
transmitting unit are defined as handheld portable transceivers
Note: Some of these devices, particularly mobile phones, may continue to transmit signals when
not in use.
2) Transceivers with an antenna affixed to the vehicle on the outside, i.e. the roof, such as those used by
the emergency services and taxis are defined as medium range mobile devices.
3) Broadcast transmitters such as radio and TV tower and amateur radios are defined as long range
devices.
Note: EMI which affects your scooter is not likely to be caused by other types of portable devices
such as hairdryers, laptop computers, televisions, CD players, shavers, etc
Note: No hazardous radiation is generated by the Relync R1 Mobility Scooter.
23 24
SAFETYSAFETY
WARNING! Please be aware that when in use the mobility scooter may affect certain
devices within its vicinity due to the emission of EMI, for example shop security alarms and
automatic doors.
The handle should not be lifted while seated The handle should not be pulled while seated
WARNING! It is essential that
you read the following
information regarding
electromagnetic interference and its
effects on the scooter.
Avoid placing your hands or fingers near
pinch points.
