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.
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 hand will control the throttle. As you depress the throttle lever with your
hand 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.
