Start by gently squeezing the right lever. Gradually apply more pressure to the
lever and the scooter will begin to pick up speed. If you have set your speed to
the lowest, your top speed will be restricted.
Once you are in motion, gently release the lever and the scooter will smoothly
come to a stop. Repeat moving forward and braking a few times to get used to
the motion.
Next is to practice reversing. To reverse, gradually squeeze the left lever. Same as
before, the more pressure applied to the lever, the faster the scooter will move.
Practice reversing and stopping a few times to get used to the motion.
WARNING! Make sure that there are no obstacles, curbs, or angled slopes
behind you before reversing! Practice reversing to get used to judging your
environment.
Steering
Steering the scooter is effortless and simple. Before you begin your practice,
ensure that there are no obstacles in the way.
To steer, simply rotate the tiller (handlebars) to the desired direction; the more
you rotate, the more sharp the turn. Begin by slowly moving forward and steering
the tiller at small angles; gradually increase the angle for your turn to familiarize
yourself with the maximum turning radius.
Practice by making gentle “S” patterns in both forward and reverse as much as
necessary.
When steering through limited spaces (such as a doorway or hallway), make sure
to mind the width of your scooter. When approaching doorways, take your time
and proceed slowly to prevent injury to yourself or others or damage to the
scooter.
When turning around corners, always keep a safe distance from the wall you are
turning towards. Most importantly, you want to ensure that your rear tires will
clear the corner without getting caught.
