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.

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.

•Do not adjust the speed while you are driving.
•Take the weather conditions into consideration. Avoid driving by moist weather, extreme heat,
snow, black ice, freezing temperatures; see technical specifications in chapter 6.
•Since your scooter is not equipped with lighting, it is not suitable to drive on public roads at
poor visibility (darkness, mist, twilight). Make sure that you are well visible, also during daylight
by using fluorescent clothing and/or by using own lighting at the front and rear side of the
scooter.
•To prevent tipping over, try to drive with a large turning radius at corners and curves. Do not
cut corners and don’t drive with sharp bends. Try to drive straight in small passages to prevent
getting entrapped.
•Do not lean too far to the left/right/front/back of the scooter to prevent tipping over. Please pay

3.2.4 Driving
Risk of injuries
Do not use both sides of the speed lever simultaneously. This might leave you unable to control
your scooter.
•This paragraph is a first acquaintance with driving your scooter. Read the complete
manual first before you go for a ride.
•The surface of the controller gets slightly warm during use.
Driving around corners and in bends
Risk of tipping injuries
•Reduce your speed before you enter a curve or corner.
•Always maintain an adequate distance from corners and obstacles.
•Do not drive your vehicle in an "S" pattern or make erratic turnings.
For corners and bends, use both hands to turn the handle bar in the direction you wish to take.
It is very important that you ensure that there is enough space allowing you to go around bends
and corners. Narrow passages must preferably be approached in a large curve so as to allow you
to enter the narrowest part as straight from the front as possible. Bear in mind that your scooter’s
back part will in most cases be wider than the front part.
Backward movement
The speed of rearward movement is automatically reduced in comparison with forward driving.
We also recommend that you use the slowest speed setting when you drive backward.
Do not forget that the steering direction with rearward driving is the opposite of when you go
forward, and that your scooter will turn directly in the required direction.
The horn will beep while driving the scooter backwards.
Taking slopes
Risk of injuries and/or damage
•Never put your scooter in free-wheel mode on a slope. The scooter may start moving, causing
injuries to you or bystanders.
•Do not turn when driving down a slope, since the weight of the scooter may cause tipping over.
•Make sure all four wheel touch the ground while driving up or down.
Operating lever (7)
(driving forward)
To start or stop moving FORWARD.
The movement starts as soon as the lever is slightly pulled towards
you. The more the lever is pulled, the faster the scooter will move (up
till the maximum speed setting) When the lever is release, the
electromagnetic brake is applied. The scooter stops immediately.
Operating lever (5)
(driving backward)
To start or stop moving BACKWARD.
The movement starts as soon as the lever is slightly pulled towards
you. The more the lever is pulled, the faster the scooter will move (up
till 50% of maximum speed setting). When the lever is release, the
electromagnetic brake is applied. The scooter stops immediately.
Speed control (8)
Turn speed control (8) clockwise to increase the maximum speed
setting. Turn the control counter clockwise to decrease the maximum
speed setting.
Push button for sound signal (4)
Press the button (4) to alarm bystanders by sound signal.

3.6.3 Charging the battery
Risk of injuries and damage due to fire
•Only use the battery charger delivered with the scooter. The use of any other charger may be
dangerous (fire hazard).
•The battery charger is only intended to charge the batteries delivered with the scooter, not to
charge any other batteries.
•Do not adapt any of the delivered parts, like cables, plugs or battery charger. Never open or
change the battery or the connection points.
•Protect the battery and battery charger against flames, high and low temperatures (see chapter
6), moisture, sunshine, severe shocks (for example dropping). Do NOT use the battery if this
has been the case.
•Charge the battery with the battery charger, indoors, in a well-ventilated area, out of children's
reach.
Risk of damage
•Battery self-discharge and the quiescent current of the connected users will drain the battery
charge slowly. The battery may be irreversibly damaged if the battery is fully discharged.
Therefore, make sure that the battery is charged on time:
oWith intensive use (long distances, daily use): Immediately recharge after use.
oWith average use (short distances, daily or a few times a week): Charge when battery
indicator shows 50% discharge.
oWith little use or storage: Charge once a week.
•If your scooter is stored for a while, the battery should be removed and stored separately.
•Read the storage and maintenance instructions in chapter 4 and technical
details in chapter 6.
•Only disconnect the battery charger when the battery is fully charged, see
the following symbols on the charger.
•Do not charge batteries below 0°C. Move the battery to a warmer place
