2.1 Intended use
In this paragraph a brief description of the intended use of your scooter is given. Additionally,
relevant warnings are added to the instructions in the other paragraphs. In this way we would like
to make you aware of the possible misuse that may appear.
•This scooter is classified as a class A product and is suitable for outdoor use.
•This scooter is designed and produced solely to transport one (1) person with a maximum
weight of 115kg. It is not designed for transport of goods or objects, or for any other use
than the transport previously described.
•If applicable, use only accessories and spare parts approved by Vermeiren.
•You should NOT use this scooter if you suffer from physical or mental impairments that may
put you, or other people, in danger when driving the scooter, such as; visual impairment,
mental disorder, hemiplegics or paraplegics. For this reason, consult your doctor first and
make sure that your specialist dealer is informed about his advice.
•Please read all technical details and limits of your scooter in chapter 6.
•The warranty on this product is based on normal use and maintenance as described in this
manual. Damage to your product caused by improper use or lack of maintenance will cause
the warranty to lapse.
2.2 General safety instructions
Risk of injuries and/or damage
Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Otherwise you may get injured or your
scooter may get damaged.
Keep the following general warnings in mind during use:
•Do not use your scooter if you under influence of alcohol, medicines or other substances
that may influence your driving abilities.
•Be aware that some parts of your scooter may get very hot or cold due to ambient
temperature, solar radiation, heating devices or due to the motor drive during the ride. Be
careful when touching. Wear protective clothing if the weather is cold. After a ride, wait till
the scooter/motor has cooled down.
•Before switching the scooter on, be aware of the environment/situation in which you are
located. Adjust your speed to this before driving off. We advise you to use the slowest speed
setting to drive indoors. For outdoor driving you can adjust the speed to a suitable speed at
which you feel comfortable and safe.
•ALWAYS keep in mind that your scooter may stop suddenly due to a discharged battery or
a protection that prevents your scooter from further damage. Also check the causes
mentioned in chapter 5.
•Your scooter has been tested for electromagnetic compatibility and complies with the
standard, see chapter 6. Nevertheless, sources of electromagnetic field may influence the
driving performance of your scooter like the fields of mobile phones, power generators or
high-power energy sources. On the other hand, the electronics of your scooter can affect
other electronic appliances too, like alarm systems of shops and automatic doors. We advise
therefore to check your scooter regularly for damage and wear, since these may enlarge the
interference, see also chapter 4.
•Only drive on flat surfaces where all wheels touch the ground and where there is sufficient
contact to operate the scooter safely.
•Make sure that your hands, clothes, belts, buckles or jewellery don’t get caught by wheels
or other moving parts during use.

In case a serious incident has occurred involving your product, notify Vermeiren or your specialist
dealer as well as the competent authority in your country.
2.3 Symbols on the scooter
The symbols in following list are applicable for your scooter. Missing symbols can be found in the
relevant ISO standard (ISO 7000, ISO 7001 and IEC 417).
Maximum weight of the user
Outdoor/indoor use (battery charger excluded)

Maximum safe slope in °.

Risk of entrapment
2.4 Transport
Since the scooter is equipped with aLithium battery, it is not possible to transport the scooter
(as a whole) by air plane. If you still consider to do so, consult your airline before booking
your flight. It is possible to transport your scooter by air plane, without battery and to buy a
new battery at the place of arrival. Contact your specialist dealer for this matter.
Deflate the scooter tires a bit before taking off. Inflate them again after arrival. In this way
you prevent the bursting of the tires during flight.
2.4.1 Moving the scooter
Use the free-wheel lever to transport your scooter over a small distance (drive disconnected).
Read the instructions in §2.5 about folding and unfolding your scooter.
2.4.2 Transport in the car
Risk of severe injuries
Do NOT use your scooter as seat in a vehicle, see next symbol. The best way to
transport your scooter is to fold and lift it (with help) in the vehicle. Tighten the scooter
well to the vehicle, to make sure that it won’t move during cornering and that it won’t
be launched during full braking.
Risk of damage or injuries
Transport of the scooter (unfolded) must be done with free-wheel lever in rear, coupled position
to make sure that the brake is activated.
