Riding in Cold Weather
Your mobility scooter is designed to operate year-round. However, in very cold condions
or when there is a lot of snow or slush on the ground, it is possible for the motor in the
mobility scooter to get wet or for the brakes to funcon less eecvely, just as it can
happen in wet weather. Below 10 degrees Celsius, the baery will not work as well as it
would in warmer temperatures. While Lithium-Ion baeries perform beer than Lead-
Acid baeries in temperature extremes, both will experience reduced performance in
cold temperatures.
Also, riding the mobility scooter in cold temperatures may require you to replace the
baery sooner rather than later.
Maximum Load
Do not exceed the maximum load capabilies of your mobility scooter. You can nd the
exact loading capacity listed in the technical specicaons in this guide.
If you exceed the maximum load, the performance of the scooter will suer.
Exceeding the maximum load of your Mobility Scooter could cause damage to the shocks,
to the mechanism and, ulmately, even to the frame. It could also cause your motor to
work too aggressively, and may cause it to burn out.
Long-Term Storage of your MOBILITY SCOOTER
If you are storing your Mobility Scooter for a long period, disconnect the circuit breaker
(if applicable). This is a safer way to store the electric bicycle, as it prevents accidental
acvaon of the mobility scooter and makes it impossible to acvate it even with the key.
Please see the secon tled “The Baery” for instrucons on baery maintenance while
your mobility scooter is being stored.
