Troubleshooting Tips
1
Battery Seating
Check that batteries are firmly seated — the most common cause of power issues.
Ensure batteries are firmly seated in the scooter base. For clip-type batteries, verify both clips are fully connected to their terminals. A loose connection is among the most common causes of power issues.
2
Rear Drive Connection
If the scooter was disassembled, confirm the rear drive is properly reconnected.
Check the rear drive connection. If the scooter was disassembled for transport or storage, confirm the rear drive unit is properly reconnected during reassembly.
3
Charge the Batteries
Nightly charging is required for full daily performance.
Connect the charger to the charging port, plug into a standard outlet, and allow batteries to charge fully. Remove the key while charging.
The unit must be charged nightly to maximize battery life and ensure full performance each day.
4
Insert and Turn the Key
The charger must be fully unplugged before the scooter will operate.
Insert the key and turn to the ON position. The charger must be fully unplugged before the scooter will operate.
5
Check the Free-Wheeling Lever
This lever must be in the LOCKED position for powered operation.
Ensure the free-wheeling lever is in the LOCKED position when operating. This lever disengages the motor and brakes for manual pushing — it must be locked for powered use.
The free-wheel lever is located above the rear wheels.
6
Turn Off Power-Save Mode
Scooter unresponsive after sitting idle? This is likely the fix.
If the scooter is unresponsive after sitting idle, it may have entered power-save mode. Remove the key, wait 30 seconds, then reinsert to reset.
7
Reduced Speed on Slopes or Heavy Load
Normal behavior on inclines or near max weight capacity.
Scooters may slow on inclines or when near maximum weight capacity. This is normal behavior. Allow the unit to rest if the circuit breaker trips.
8
Reset the Circuit Breaker
Lost power unexpectedly? Press the small raised button on the battery pack.
If the scooter loses power unexpectedly, locate the reset button — the small raised bubble on the battery pack — and press it firmly to restore power.
Excessive heat and humidity can cause the unit to slow and trip the circuit breaker. Move the scooter to a cool, shaded area and allow it to rest before resetting.
