CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Before you ride the tri scooter 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 3 months;
otherwise it will greatly reduce the battery lifespan.
TIP FOR BATTERY CARE: Charge the battery after each
use!
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 TRI SCOOTER
Once you have completed the initial charge you are ready to ride.
Remember, this is not a toy. The tri scooter can reach speeds up
to 15.5 mph depending on the terrain and the weight of the rider.
You must wear a helmet and protective pads. You must also be
aware of all local laws 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 1: You may use the balancing wheel (the smaller middle
rear wheel) to balance the tri scooter when you want to ride with
the front wheel raised. WARNING: Never try stunts beyond the
control of your skills. Never ride too fast for your skills or
condition.

pushing the throttle causing the scooter to speed forward. Failure
to do this could lead to an accident.

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

MAINTENANCE
Battery: (for professional use only)
The tri scooter is powered by 31Ah 36V rechargeable batteries
secured in a battery bag. Other than recharging, these batteries
need no maintenance. To prolong battery life, you must recharge
the battery after each use. You must also charge your tri scooter
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.
