Driving up thresholds: drive towards the threshold until the front wheel is approximately 20-50 cm
before the threshold. Now carefully drive forward and approach the threshold. As soon as the front
wheel is on the threshold you can slowly drive further until the rear wheels are also on or over the
threshold (picture 34). If this does not succeed or very difficult, please choose another route.
Driving off thresholds: drive to the threshold until the front wheel is before it. Drive off the threshold
carefully and with low speed.
Brakes
Braking can be done in different ways:
• you can slowly move the gas lever into the neutral position, to make the Excite slow down
easily
• you can just let the gas lever go, so the Excite will come to a full stop
• the Excite is also fitted with a disk brake rear with the lever on the tiller. This may be used on
eventual emergency stops
If driving down a hill the Excite might drive faster than the maximum speed possible. In this case the
control unit will slow the Excite down to reach the programmed maximum speed.
If the gas lever of the Excite is in neutral position the scooter is braked. The motor brake power is
enough to stop the scooter and keep on its place on the maximum possible incline angle (12 degrees).
At rain, snow or other slippery road conditions, please brake gently to provide sliding danger.
Battery safety
When driving on low or empty batteries, to be seen on your battery indicator, the battery safety feature
will be engaged. This provides battery damage through deep decharge. The engagement of this
feature can be noticed by the decreasing maximum speed. Drive as little as possible in this condition.
After thy system being engaged the batteries should be charged as soon as possible.
Freewheel
The Excite is equipped with a so-called freewheel function. This allows the Excite to be moved
without using the engine. Push the backrest to move the scooter. In this freewheel position the scooter
can not be driven electrically. You can engage the freewheel function by the freewheel lever on the
rear side of the scooter, just below the cover (picture 35).
Picture 35
It is important to first fully turn off the power before engaging the freewheel lever. The power needed
to push the scooter is mimimal. The brakes of the Excite are not in use during freewheel engagement.
This can be reversed by turning the freewheel function off.
