Section 5 - FAQ’S
• HOW FAR WITH THE ELECTRO-DRIVE™ SCOOTER GO ON A FULL
CHARGE?
Maximum range per charge for the 500DD series scooters is 8 miles (13
km), 750DD and 1000DD series scooters is 12 miles (19 km) and the
Scoot-E DD is 18 miles (29 km).
Note: Range per charge of the scooter depend on many variables,
including but not limited to: riding conditions, rider weight, battery charge,
etc. Riding at full speed will dramatically reduce your range.
• WHAT IS THE TOP SPEED OF THE SCOOTER?
Your Electro-Drive™ scooter will accelerate up to 15 mph (24 km/h) for
the 500DD, 750DD and 1000DD series scooters. The Scoot-E DD series
scooter has a variable top speed range of less than 2mph up to 10mph.
Note: Top speed of the scooter depend on many variables, including but
not limited to: riding conditions, rider weight, battery charge, etc.
• WHAT IS THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF MY SCOOTER?
Maximum rider weight is 240 lbs, (109 kg) for the 500DD series scooters
and 260 lbs. (118 kg) for the 750DD, 1000DD and Scoot-E DD series
scooters; never exceed it.
• CAN I RIDE MY SCOOTER IN WET CONDITIONS OR ON WET PAVEMENT?
You might be surprised to hear that you can ride any Currie electric scooter
in pretty much the same conditions you would expect to ride a normal
bicycle or scooter. In fact as long as you don’t submerge the electrical
components you’ll be fine. This means avoiding deep puddles or streams,
that would cause the electrical components to be under water. All of our
electric scooters are designed to operate normally if they get wet. There
is no need to worry about electrocutions or shocks from riding in the rain.
Of course you must take special precautions when riding in wet weather
as braking distances will be greater and handling on slippery surfaces
compromised, as will visibility.
• WHAT IS THE CORRECT AIR PRESSURE FOR THE TIRES?
For scooters equipped with a solid tire(s) inating the tires is not necessary.
For scooters equipped with pneumatic tires check tire pressure imprinted
on the sidewall of the tire. Inate to recommended pressure as necessary.
