Throttle Control Lever
This lever allows you to control the forward speed and the reverse speed of your scooter up to the maxi-
mum speed you preset with the speed adjustment dial.
Place your right hand on the right handgrip and your left hand on the left handgrip.

the lever to move in reverse.
When the throttle control lever is completely released, it automatically returns to the center “stop”
position and engages your scooter’s brakes.
