The Battery
This secon details what you need to know about the baery that powers your mobility
scooter. Always remember to treat your mobility scooters electrical systems with respect.
Battery Power
The dashboard has a baery charge indicator. When the mobility scooter is acvated,
the guage will jump and indicate the currently available baery power. If the power has
dropped signicantly, you should charge your scooter.
Distance and Power
Your baery has the capacity to carry you anywhere from 20+ km before it must be
recharged. The ability of your baery to power your scooter depends on many variables.
These variables include the weight of the rider, the prevailing wind resistance, the rider’s
driving habits, the presence of steep hills and inclines, and other issues such as proper air
pressure in the res.
Saving Power
If you are traveling long distances, you can save a lot of electricity by using beer driving
habits:
• Coasng: When going downhill or over long, at road surfaces, try using your
Mobility Scooter’s momentum and allow it to coast, without drawing power from the
motor.
• Stopping and Starng: Try to avoid stop and go movements. The motor draws
more power when starng from a full stop.
• Weight: Remove unnecessary weight from the scooter. This reduces the amount
of power the motor must draw.
• Air Pressure: Make sure your res have the proper air pressure. Proper pressure
reduces drag on the res and radically increases the eciency of any vehicle.
• Head and Tail Lights: Turn o the lights to conserve power, if it is safe to do so.
The lights will reduce the distance you can travel by about 5%.
