Can I push this scooter using my feet if the battery is dead? IOW if the battery dies before I can get to a charger, am I SOL or can I push it home?

Yes, you can push with your feet should the battery die before you get home. The scooter is heavy so it won't be easy, but it can be done.Both of my boys have had to push home after a longer ride.

Yes you can use it as a manual scooter. You have to help it along a little up hill as well!

It can definitely roll without power. It's rather heavy (in a good way) so you'll be bumming if you need to go far.

Yes, the scooter comes with a battery. It easily slips into place and locks there with the handles holding it in place. You can charge it either in the scooter or you can take it out and change it.

With the unit unplugged you can push the test button to check the status of the battery. What did you use it for? We're you trying to start a car? It is best used for small vehicles (4 or 6 cyl) or cars were the battery is not completely dead. Have you used it before to jump a vehicle? Sometimes it is a matter of making proper contact. If you see some sparks when attaching the last cable, it should be good, if not make sure you are making proper contact. I left mine in the car for a couple of months after charging it overnight and it was still good. You might want to charge it overnight.

If you are asking if it coasts freely when the battery is dead, the answer would be no. It is not free wheeling. You can kick and go if you like, but there is drag from the turning of the motor..

Were you able to top it off with a foot pump or another battery operated one? I like the auto feature but sometimes electricty is not available. It looks like with the pull plug that you can manually inflate if you have to. Is this the case?

Yes the cart can be pushed when the battery is not turned on, just like another push cart.

I don't know why you couldn't do that. I didn't take my scooter on walks for exercise, but I work in a large, spread-out office complex, and I covered a lot of ground every day. I don't know how much mileage I put on my scooter overall, but I would bet I covered at least a mile a day and probably more. My main caution if you go for walks is to be careful going downhill- you can get up some speed, which is a lot of fun, but you don't want to topple over if you get carried away!

I believe the answer to your question is yes, it could be used by this person. However, I have to caution you on the durability of this scooter. We bought one for my brother, who has cerebral palsy, and it lasted less than a year and was problematic for most of that time. There were issues with the battery, the charger, stalling and finally in just getting it to turn on and run. None of these were satisfactorily addressed by the manufacturer so we replaced it this Christmas with better quality piece of equipment.

Hi Gail, Because of the chemistry of the battery this either has to go ground or fly under "class 9" classification. We can do both but their will be an added cost. It can only go ground if Fed Ex or UPS can reach your location via ground service. Let me know, Randy Austin Volt Depot 800-two four zero - 8631

No it is a bag to hold battery. Allows removal without touching battery. Just unplug and lift. Reduces moving weight to lift scooter.

Erik,I may not be the right one to provide a feedback as I hardly used the scooter after I bought this battery last year. Having said that, I was surprised to see the battery had some juice left when I tried to start the scooter in the early spring couple of days ago. By the way, my scooter was in the garage all winter and I did not detach the batter all winter. Hope, this helps.

Let's see if I can be a bit more helpful for you and perhaps the other scooter users. The scooter does have a locking break. There is a small spring loaded button on the hand break housing which you can engage when you set the break and push the button in. This will "set" the break so that you can be hands free on your scooter to get something out of your cupboard or something else without the scooter flying out from under you. If the break is not holding well enough, you can adjust the cable for a tighter fit. So, for all who have said no - check it out, you may have a feature you are not aware of!Good luck!Randy Let's see if I can be a bit more helpful for you and perhaps the other scooter users.

The battery is the big issue with this scooter. The battery will run you about $500.00 if need replacement. It's a lipo battery so they aren't cheap.

yes, providing the battery has been charged and is not on the last stages of the last charge. the weaker the battery the less power the scooter has, otherwise it will go up slight increases with no problem.

Yes it can, the importamt thing is to maintein the battery charged. You can have two batteries and alternate them, the charger is pluged directly to the battery, not to the scooter.

I use my scooter around my job, people see me coming so fast they jump out of the way. I really don't know now fast it go but when it full charge and on flat ground it really move. I work at a very large hospital and ride every day, 5 days a week on it. Need charging about every 3 days. About the speed people be walking real fast in the morning trying to get in the building on my scoot I past most of them and the only reason I don't pass all I would have to run them over. I love my scoot.
