DRIVE TRAIN ASSEMBLY
The Electro-Drive™ electric scooter is equipped with
the patented Currie Technologies
®
Electro-Drive™
propulsion system, the finest available in today’s
rapidly growing personal electric transportation
market.
The Currie Electro-Drive™ features a DC motor with
direct chain drive to the rear wheel, a weather and
dust resistant motor controller, plus rechargeable and
recyclable sealed lead acid batteries that provide
many hours of trouble free riding.
The Electro-Drive™ motor and drive train system
comes fully assembled and “ready-to-ride” from the
factory.
IMPORTANT: All Electro-Drive™ motors, throttles and
the controllers are factory sealed units and are not
user serviceable. Do not open or tamper with any of
the factory sealed units; doing so may result in electric
shock or injury and will render them inoperable.

Always test your brakes after making any adjustment to
be sure they are operating properly before riding.
If you reach the limit of the cable adjustments described
above and you are still experiencing poor braking
performance, do not continue to ride. Do not attempt
to adjust the cable any further or attempt to adjust
the brake. Take your scooter to a qualified scooter
or bicycle mechanic for proper service, or call Currie

Proper brake performance and adjustment is vital to
safe scooter operation. Never ride your scooter unless
your brakes are adjusted and working correctly.
BRAKE OPERATION
The Electro-Drive™ electric scooter
is equipped with front and/or rear
brakes. It is operated by using the
brake lever on the handlebars and is
designed to provide excellent stop-
ping power for your scooter. Squeeze
the brake lever(s) firmly to bring your
scooter to a safe, controlled stop.
The brake lever itself should never
touch the handlebar or grip when
squeezed firmly. If it does, then immediately STOP RIDING and adjust the
brake cable.
All brakes need periodic adjustment. However, the brake
mechanism itself should be adjusted only by a qualified
service technician. If or when it needs service, take your
scooter to your local bicycle dealer or to the retailer who
sold you the scooter.
Improper adjustment of your brake(s) can cause poor
braking and lead to an accident, serious rider injury or
death.
BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTMENT
If your brake cable stretches (as is
common with new cables do during
the initial “breaking-in” period), your
brake lever will require a longer “pull”
to engage the brake and may even
touch the handlebar when squeezed.
Use the adjusting barrel on the brake
lever to adjust for this cable stretch.
Loosen the adjusting barrel lock nut.
Unscrew the adjusting barrel out of the lever 1 to 2 turns, then re-tighten the
lock nut to secure the adjusting barrel.
Do not allow the adjusting barrel to unscrew more than
5 full rotations out of the brake lever.
