    to check to make sure it is connected and operating properly. Test 
    the brake lever(s) by squeezing it. It should stop the wheel(s) easi\
    ly 
    and NOT come in contact with the handlebar. If the brake lever(s) 
    needs adjusting, refer to pages 19-20 for instructions. If the brake(s)

    batteries) before first use. Refer to page 17 for complete Battery 
    Care instructions
    9. Before every ride, test the throttle with the power switch  in 
    the “OFF” position. Twist the throttle, it should twist easily and 
    immediately spring back to the starting position when you release 
    it. If the throttle does not work properly, DO NOT RIDE THE 
    SCOOTER. Call Customer Service at 1-800-377-4532 for further 
    assistance.
    10. Check tire pressure and inflate to the pressure recommended on the 
    tire sidewall as necessary.
    Adults must assist children in the initial adjustment 
    procedures to unfold scooter, adjust handlebar and steering to height, and 
    finally to fold scooter. Before you ride the scooter, make sure you have 
    tightened all parts. Riding with a loose handlebar, front wheel, brake, seat 
    assembly, etc. may cause a rider to fall, possibly damaging the scooter and

    Batteries like to have a full charge, so 
    always be sure to recharge them fully 
    after each ride. If you leave them in 
    a run-down condition, without quickly 
    recharging them, it will shorten their 
    life expectancy. The charger may get 
    warm to the touch, so make sure you 
    charge them in an open area and 
    do not lay anything on the charger 
    unit while charging. Although you

    aged by not following the below steps will need to be replaced and are n\
    ot 
    covered under warranty.
    • Always be sure to fully charge batteries before first use (6-10 
    hours depending on size). 
    • Always be sure to fully charge batteries after each and every use 
    (6-10 hours depending on size).
    • Be sure to charge batteries at least every 30 days.
    • Do not store batteries below 50º Fahrenheit and never allow bat-
    teries to freeze (below 32º Fahrenheit).
    • Always be sure to turn the scooter “OFF” after each use via the 
    On/Off power switch.

    SLA batteries should always be fully charged (charge time of 6-10 hours 
    depending on amperage of battery) before first use. This will help obtain 
    optimum performance.
    SLA batteries have a “break-in” cycle consisting of ~ three discharge/charge 
    cycles before they will reach optimum performance. This involves three 
    complete discharges and three complete recharges (charge time of 6-10 
    hours depending on amperage of battery and strength of the charger). After 
    this initial “break-in” cycle the batteries will have increased pe\
    rformance and 
    less line voltage fluctuations under load, as indicated by the throttle \
    LED’s.
    fUse
    In the event of an overload the fuse will pop and need to be replaced. I\
    n this 
    instance replace only with approved part from Currie Technologies
    ®.
    Risk of fire, Do not bypass fuse.
    W aRnInG!
    using the Currie “Smart Charger”, we 
    recommend that you do not leave the 
    charger plugged in for more than  24 
    hours.

    The line voltage will fluctuate depending on the instantaneous load that\
     the 
    motor is under. For example, when starting out from a dead stop, or going 
    up a steep hill, the motor will be under a high load and the “Yellow” or even 
    “Red” LED will illuminate. To a lesser degree, another factor that influences 
    the load on the motor (and therefore the LED readings) is the gearing \
    of the 
    motor. Scooters with Direct Drive (DD) gearboxes are geared for slightly 
    higher top end speeds and therefore have a higher load when starting fro\
    m 
    a dead stop versus scooters with belt or chain drive, which have a lower\
     top 
    end speed. The higher gear ration of the DD scooters will cause the Red LED 
    to illuminate more often compared to other scooters.
    When the throttle is disengaged (i.e. no power to the motor due to the 
    scooter being stationary or coasting) the LED’s on the throttle will indicate 
    the voltage of the battery pack. The voltage of the battery pack will rise 
    when no load is on the motor. The best indication of how much battery life is 
    remaining is to check the throttle LED’s, after reaching cruising speed, on a 
    flat straight road as this will allow the battery voltage to stabilize a\
    nd give a 
    much more accurate reading.

    Scooters are equipped with a 5 minute sleep mode. If no activity is detected 
    after 5 minutes the scooter will go into stasis mode to conserve the batteries. 
    To restart, cycle the power switch Off then On. 
    Never store your scooter in Sleep Mode as battery power 
    will still be used by the scooter. Always be sure to turn the 
    power switch to the “OFF” position.
    Hea T sHUT -DoWn MoDe
    If the controller has over-heated and power to the motor has been shut d\
    own, 
    turn the main power switch “OFF” for at least 30 minutes to allow \
    the controller 
    to cool down before riding any more. Turn the power switch “ON” and resume 
    riding.
    The scooter will shut down due to over-heating caused 
    by excessive stress on the motor (i.e. too steep a hill, too 
    heavy a rider, etc.).

    The speed of the Electro-Drive™ 
    scooter is controlled by a grip-
    twist throttle, which is located on 
    the handlebar.
    To check the throttle operation, 
    turn the power switch to the 
    “OFF” position. Fully twist the 
    throttle then quickly release it. 
    The throttle is spring loaded and 
    should immediately spring back to 
    its original (also know as “Zero Position) position.
    To accelerate, twist the right hand throttle grip towards you as you stan\
    d 
    on the deck plate. The more you twist the throttle, the faster the motor will 
    propel the scooter until you reach the scooter’s top speed.
    To go slower, or coast to a slower speed, allow the throttle to spring back to 
    its original position. To decelerate or come to a complete stop, release the 
    throttle and allow it to return automatically to its original position. \
    Then squeeze 
    the brake lever(s) to activate the brake(s). Remember to release the\
     throttle 
    whenever you apply the brake.
    The throttle and its components are fully assembled and 
    tested at the factory. Do not attempt to adjust them at 
    any time. If you feel the throttle and/or components are in 
    need of service DO NOT RIDE THE SCOOTER! Con-

    When the throttle is engaged (powering the motor) and the scooter is i\
    n mo-
    tion, the LED’s on the throttle indicate instantaneous line voltage as mea-
    sured at the battery terminals -- and not the available energy in the ba\
    ttery 
    pack.
