Go-Ped ESR750H PPV - Manual (Page 6)

WARNING: Never ride with improperly adjusted brakes.
D. Control levers and cables: Familiarize yourself with the levers and controls. Squeeze and or
twist all levers/controls and make sure they are functioning properly. If they stick, move at the
base, or do not get full range of motion, make adjustments as necessary or take to an authorized
Go-Ped® dealer for service. Do not ride the scooter until the control levers and cables are properly
adjusted.
Control levers are originally positioned where they work best for most people. The angle of the
controls can be changed to better suit you. Ask your dealer to show you how, or learn how to make
the adjustments yourself.
WARNING: Never ride with improperly adjusted controls and cables.
2.3 Scooting Safety
CAUTION: Like most sports, scooting/karting involves risk of injury and dam-
age. By choosing to ride a scooter/kart you assume the responsibility for that
risk. This makes it extremely important that you know, understand, and practice
the rules of safe and responsible riding.
Scooting can be an environmentally useful, safe and fun way of reducing traffic congestion.
WARNING: Karts are designed for recreational use only! They should never be
used on streets.
A. Know Your Scooter/Kart: Familiarize yourself with the scooter before you ride. Check the
controls. Ride very cautiously until you become familiar with the way the scooter/kart handles.
Take turns slowly and give yourself extra stopping distance.
B. Ride Within Your Abilities: To control your scooter, you need to keep it upright and make it go
where you want it to go. This section cannot teach you how to control direction, speed or balance.
Only a lot of practice will do that. Below are a few things to help you.
C. Body Position: Stand firm but relaxed. Keep weight between the wheels. Don’t stand too close
to the front or lean too far back. Shift your weight to the rear when applying brakes, and lean
towards the front when accelerating. Keep feet apart for more stability.
D. Turning: New riders tend to have more trouble turning than experienced riders do. The only
way to make good safe turns is to practice. Always approach turns very carefully.
E. Braking: Front brakes provide most of your stopping power, but you will need to learn to adjust
your center of gravity to maintain stability. Again, practice this at a safe speed until you are
comfortable with this action.
F. Areas to Ride: Ride in a safe place free of cars in an area which will not disturb other people or
animals and has a clean dry surface.
2.4 Rules to Scoot By:
· Always wear your safety gear
· Never ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs

· Ride defensively

damaged part.
• The motor may be hot. Handle carefully.
• Keep batteries away from heat or open flames and always recycle at a proper recycling facility.

it is time to replace expired ones. Some retail stores that sell lead acid car batteries and your local
public solid waste facility will accept recyclable lead acid batteries.
Caution: Charge you vehicle only in dry locations.
4.7 Batteries
Your unit uses sealed lead acid 12V batteries, which are wired to create a 24 volt system. The
internal Li-Ion polymer battery packs are 25.9V nominal at 16Ah from two packs, 24Ah from three
packs, or 32 AH from the four pack model. The battery pan is a Factory sealed unit and should
only be serviced by an authorized Go-Ped dealer. The batteries will last a long time when properly
maintained. These batteries do not have “memory” so it is OK to only partially discharge them
before recharging them.
Section 5: Controls
CAUTION: Before you ride - Familiarize yourself with how your Go-Ped® works.
• Familiarize yourself with which levers operate the brakes and throttle. Your new scooter or kart
may be different than other Motorcycles, ATV’s, bicycles, watercraft, etc. which you may have
ridden before.
• The red button is the power “On-Off” switch.
• The handle bar or steering wheel supports the rider and steers the Go-Ped®.
• Always use both hands on the handle bar, when riding.
WARNING: The scooters and kart outlined in this manual use a friction and/or a
chain drive system. Keep clear of rear wheel and its drive components when the
engine is running or severe injury may occur.
Section 6: Maintenance and Parts
CAUTION: Technological advances have made Go-Ped® and the components
more complex then ever. This on going evolution makes it impossible for this
manual to provide all the information required to properly repair and or maintain
your Go-Ped®. In order to help minimize the chances of an accident and pos-
sible injury, it is critical that you have any repair or maintenance which is not
specifically described in this manual performed by an authorized Go-Ped® dealer.
Just as important is that your individual maintenance requirements will be determined by every-
thing from your riding style to geographic location. Consult your authorized Go-Ped® dealer for
help with determining your individual maintenance requirements.
