Section 5: Controls

CAUTION: Before you ride - Familiarize yourself with how your Go-Ped® works.

• The left-hand lever operates the front wheel caliper brake.

• The right hand plastic lever operates the engine throttle.

• The right hand metal lever operates the rear brake.

• The red button is the engine kill switch.

• The handle bar supports the rider and steers the Go-Ped®.

• Always use both hands on the handle bar, when riding.

Section 6: Starting

BEFORE YOU RIDE - Your Go-Ped® scooter should be properly warmed up.

6.1) Starting

Your chain drive unit is equipped with a centrifugal clutch that will engage when engine RPM

reaches a certain point . To prevent the scooter from suddenly jerking forward when the clutch

engages make sure that the rear wheel is off the ground and front brake fully engaged when

starting. To start follow the directions as shown in "Engine Starting Instruction" (section 6.5).

6.2) Engine Starting Instructions

1) Pump primer bulb until fuel flows steadily through clear yellow overflow tube.

2) Move choke lever to the closed position.

3) Pull starter until engine starts. Engine will probably stall quickly.

4) Move choke lever to the open position.

5) Pull starter until engine starts. It may be necessary to open the throttle slightly. Note: Pull

starter has a soft start feature that vigorously can result in damaging the starter.

5) Allow engine to warm up before using.

6) To stop, idle engine, push red kill button.

6.3) Motorized Riding

After warming up the engine (30 seconds to one minute).

You simply stand on the scooter with both hands on the controls, release the brake, it will begin

to roll and you can now apply throttle control.

Note: Giving a push to start your forward momentum before applying throttle will smooth out our

starts and prevent the scooter from jerking during initial take off.

WARNING: The scooter outlined in this manual use a chain drive system. Keep clear of

rear wheel and its drive components when the engine is running or sever injury may

occur.

CAUTION: As engine power is applied through a chain drive, it is very important to maintain

proper chain tension adjustment and properly lubed as outlined in this manual.

Section 7: Free Wheel Scooting

With engine not operating simply push the scooter. Note: There will be some resistance caused

by the chain drive components.

Section 8: 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 possible 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.

A. Know Your Scooter: Familiarize yourself with the scooter before you ride. Check the

controls. Ride very cautiously until you become familiar with the way the scooter 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.
