Freewheel mechanism
A freewheel device disengages the power drive
to allow manual operation (i.e. the scooter can be
pushed at a walking pace).
The freewheel is selected by pushing FORWARD
the lever that is located on the left hand side of
the scooter rear panel. Once freewheel has been
selected, the electronic drive control system is
disabled to prevent driving. This is a safety feature
to prevent you driving the scooter with the parking
brake disengaged (Photo 9.1).
To turn off the freewheel and engage the motor,
simply push the lever BACKWARDS (Photo 9.2).
ALWAYS re-engage the freewheel device after use,
failure to do so may result in injury.

WARNING:
Use extreme caution in the freewheel mode
especially on slopes/inclines. Letting go of
your scooter whilst it is in freewheel, can
cause the scooter to roll unexpectedly.
