The original User Manual comes with this package

but here are some insights on what to expect....

Introduction

This portable lightweight mobility scooter can be disassembled in about three minutes into three major components - chassis, battery pack and seat (please refer to the photographs). The chassis folds and weighs 18kg (39lbs) and can easily be loaded into a car boot. Once you are familiar with the components and the order of assembly the scooter can be assembled in under two minutes and NO TOOLS ARE REQUIRED.

The scooter is stable and easily manoeuvred when driven responsibly. It has two wheels at the front and additional anti-tipping wheels at the rear of the frame. Solid tyres eliminate the risk of getting a puncture.

It is designed for driving on pavements and inside buildings only - IT IS NOT ROAD LEGAL, not equipped with indicators nor designed for speeds above 5mph nor on rough terrain.

It is fine for short trips out, getting around shopping centres, visitor attractions, small garden centres, providing there are no steep inclines, long grass, loose gravel or sand.

Is this the right scooter for you?

We recommend looking for a heavier duty model if it is to be driven on rough terrain or by somebody who weighs more than 14 stones.

(In our experience, recommended factory weight limits do not take account of hills, battery condition and user weight).

Please consider the seat dimensions - 33 cm (13") Width; 30 cm (12") Depth; 46 to 51 cm (18" to 20" Adjustable Height of Seat. The backrest height from the seat is 35 cm (132). The armrests are foldable to assist getting on and off the scooter but there is only a small margin for widening the space between the armrests. Will this suit your needs?

The small wheelbase makes this scooter unsuitable for people who are severely impaired physically or those who have balance difficulties. If in doubt please seek medical advice.

Portability, charging and storage options

It's small size makes this scooter a good choice if you want to bring it indoors or simply bring the batteries inside and leave the chassis in the car boot. The original specification battery charger for overnight charging is included in the package.

The batteries you will receive are new - 2 x 12A/h sealed lead acid batteries deep cycle 12V from a 240V - 24V, 0.7A charger).

Keep these batteries charged; leaving the batteries to discharge completely could cause irreversible damage
