Controls
Before driving your vehicle it is important to familiarise yourself with the controls. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle before reading the rest of this Handbook.
Dashboard Description
1. Battery Indicator: This indicator shows the level of charge in the batteries. When in the green area the
batteries are fully charged. When in the yellow area the batteries need recharging and when in the red area the batteries urgently need recharging. Note: When the vehicle is climbing a steep incline or starting off, the level may drop momentarily; this is normal.
2. Speed Control: This controls the top speed of your scooter. When the knob is turned fully to the left, this
is the slowest speed setting, marked by a tortoise. As the knob is turned to the right the speed will increase to a maximum, marked by a hare. Set the speed before you move off. Do not adjust the speed control dial when the vehicle is moving.
3. Power On Indicator / Status LED: This indicator (first LED on the battery indicator) shows the status of the scooter – either on or off. Note. The controller has a diagnostic mode: If the red LED flashes, this indicates that the controller has detected an error or fault. If this happens refer to the diagnostic table at the back of this manual for a solution.
Tip: One of the most common “faults” is that the scooter has been switched on with the free-wheel function
enabled– Just turn the power on/off key to the off position, position the freewheel lever in drive and turn the ignition key back to the ON position.
4. Horn: Press the button and the horn will sound. Release and the horn will cease.
5. Ignition Key: Dependent on the model of scooter, the ignition key may have to be pushed in before you can turn
the vehicle on or off. Remember to remove the key when not in use. Do not leave the ignition on when not in use, especially when charging the vehicle.

6. Finger control: To operate, turn the key to the “on” or “I” position on the ignition. Pull the right hand lever
towards you and the machine moves forward. The more you pull the lever the faster the scooter goes. To brake, release the lever. Again the faster the lever is released the quicker you will stop. To reverse, pull the left lever towards you. Do not pull both levers at once. Note. The controls can be changed for customers with a left-hand bias. Please contact your local dealer for information.
Charging Point: The charging point is situated on the front face of the removable battery pack. (see Battery Charging section for further instructions).
Freewheel Device
When the vehicle is switched off the brakes are automatically engaged. This is called “Failsafe Braking”. Also, if the batteries are flat, the brakes are automatically applied. There may be occasions where you may wish to move the vehicle without power. To do this there is a Freewheel Device fitted.
The Freewheel device allows the vehicle to be pushed without power. To activate, first locate the lever. When standing behind the scooter, it is located on the right hand side of the rear of the vehicle - See Illustration.
• Make sure the On/Off (ignition) key is in the off position.
• Move the lever UP The vehicle can now be pushed in Freewheel.
• Move the lever DOWN to engage drive. The vehicle is now braked. This is the normal operating position.
• IF YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY SURE OF THIS FEATURE CONTACT
YOUR DEALER BEFORE OPERATING THE SCOOTER.
NOTE: To avoid excessive strain on the tiller / handlebar assembly, never push or pull the scooter in
freewheel mode if a user is on-board. Pull the lever UPWARDS to engage freewheel mode (no brakes - caution). Push the lever DOWNWARDS to engage Drive mode.
Warning! If the freewheel device is in “freewheel” mode, the braking is disabled. Never select the freewheel mode if the Scooter is on a slope or could be pushed onto a slope.
Brakes
There are 2 braking systems. The first works with the finger controls. When the finger control is released the scooter will automatically brake and bring the scooter to a stop. When the scooter stops the automatic brake will engage. This will stop the vehicle rolling forward or backward. When you start the brake will automatically disengage. If the battery should run out, the brakes automatically engage. Note that even when freewheel is selected, a secondary braking system is applied automatically to limit the maximum speed. You may notice this system causing drag when moving the scooter in freewheel mode
Warning! If the freewheel device is in “freewheel” the automatic braking is disabled. Never select the
freewheel device if the scooter is on a slope or could be pushed onto a slope.

Bad Weather: We suggest that it is better to stay at home in bad weather. Remember that you can
become wet and cold. Suitable clothes should always be worn. A high visibility jacket should be considered if you are in poor visibility. Remember not to use the scooter in poor light or darkness.
Driving the Vehicle
1. Before you set out, do check the weather forecast. We suggest that you make sure you are wearing
suitable clothing, whether your journey is long or short.
2. Range. Your scooter has a limited range. Always ensure that your planned journey does not exceed the
maximum range in the Technical Specification Sheets and that your battery is fully charged.
3. If you are taking medication check with your doctor or physician that your ability to control the vehicle
will not be impaired and do not drink alcohol and drive.
4. Only use the vehicle for the purpose its intended for. Do not drive through water or on slippery
surfaces; do not transport more than one person; do not tow other vehicles or carry excess weight.
5. Check that the freewheel lever is not in the freewheel position / mode.
6. Check the battery charger is disconnected.
7. Check that you are properly seated with your feet on the footrest platform.
8. Check the backrest is upright.
9. Check that none of the items in your shopping basket are likely to fall out or become entangled
in the scooter wheels or other mechanisms.
10. Make sure that your shopping basket is not overloaded (See Technical Specification Sheets)
11. Ensure your feet are securely on the footrest areas.
12. Check that the tiller transport lock is disengaged (The tiller will have a full range of movement).
13. Check you have adjusted the seat as instructed in this manual.
14. Make sure the way ahead is clear.
Warning! Read this before driving the vehicle! Whether or not this is your first mobility
vehicle, please read these guidelines as all vehicles differ. Failure to do this may cause injury/damage to you, a third party or the vehicle.
Page 13

15. Switch on the power. Check the battery level indicator is in the green area.
16. Speed Control. Set the speed control to a low setting.
17. Gently actuate the finger controls (either forward or reverse) and steer in the direction required.
The vehicle will now move off. The further you push the paddle (either forward or reverse) the faster the vehicle will go.
18. To brake, return the paddles to the starting/neutral position. If you become unsure or feel unsafe release the paddles immediately. Note: Never push or pull both paddles at the same time as
you may damage your scooter’s control system and cause it to behave erratically.
19. As you get accustomed to the power you can increase the speed.
20. Switch off when not in use. To conserve your batteries and prevent the vehicle accidentally moving,
always switch off the power when your Scooter is not in use. (On/Off or ignition key).
Tip: If you do leave your scooter switched on for a prolonged period of time without using it, it will enter
a sleep mode to conserve power. To reactivate the scooter, the On/Off key will need to be turned to the “Off” position and then back to the “On” position.
Driving the vehicle - hazards
1. Getting on and off the vehicle: When getting on make sure that the vehicle is on level ground, and not
in freewheel mode. Ensure that the armrests are secure. When getting off, park on level ground, turn off the ignition and remove the key before leaving your seat. Make sure you get off the vehicle in a safe area.
2. Tiller Position: Drive with the tiller in an upright position that feels comfortable with the controls in easy reach.
3. Kerbs and Obstacles: Try to avoid kerbs and obstacles. Never ride up or down kerbs or obstructions higher
than that in the Technical Specification Sheets. Always tackle obstacles head on. Use ramps wherever possible and ensure that all wheels will fit on the ramp. Always try to avoid crossing a slope. If you have to cross a slope, take great care to avoid tipping. Never make sharp turns on slopes or back down a slope. Note that the anti-tip rollers at the rear of the scooter may contact the kerb as you descend; this is normal.
4. Hills & Slopes: Going Up Hill. Lean forward when going up. Make sure you have enough speed to climb the slope. Do not stop or turn the vehicle around. If you have to turn while climbing an incline, keep going until you reach a level area. If you have to start on an incline, lean forward and apply power slowly – do not start and stop. If you are not comfortable about tackling a gradient, consider an alternative route. Note: Always check that the battery level is high; going up hill takes a lot of energy. If the level drops too low the vehicle will cut out leaving you stranded.
5. Hills & Slopes: Going Down Hill. Lean back in the seat when going down, and turn the speed control dial to low. If you are not comfortable about tackling a gradient, consider an alternative route.
Try to avoid crossing slopes – always drive straight up or down the slope.
NEVER BACK DOWN A SLOPE!
Warning! Before driving the scooter you should be aware that, under certain circumstances it could
become unstable and tip over. Your scooter has been designed to operate on paved, even surfaces and should not be used on rough or rutted terrain. Do not exceed the maximum safe slope recorded in the Technical Specifications.
Page 14
14
Rascal Veo, Veo X & Veo Sport Scooter
6. Terrain: Do not drive your vehicle across deep, soft or slippery terrain ( for example, soft dirt, sand, or loose
gravel). You could get stuck. Also avoid rutted, bumpy ground and keep to well surfaces.
7. Turning: Always slow down before a turn; turning at speed can cause the scooter to topple. Look in the
direction you are travelling – If there is a blind corner, sound the horn.
8. Turning Circle: Practice manoeuvring your scooter so you can judge the turning circle. This is important
to avoid tipping off kerbs or for negotiating tight spaces.
9. Bad Weather: If it is snowing or icy stay at home! Remember that ice, snow and slippery surfaces such
as manhole covers, wet grass and drains could affect braking and steering. Use caution at all times.
10. Tyres: Your vehicle is fitted with solid tyres. Should they become damaged they should be replaced by
your dealer. Do not attempt to replace them yourself.
11. Pavements: It is illegal to drive at more than 4 m.p.h. on the pavement. Your scooter is limited to that
maximum speed but always slow down in crowded areas and take care not to collide with pedestrians.
12. Shower Rooms or Washing: Never take your scooter into a shower or steam room, and never hose it
down. Its sensitive electronics could malfunction if they get wet or damp.
13. Immersion: Never enter large puddles or areas of water where the depth and/or current is unknown.
Immersion or partial immersion of the scooter may damage it and could leave you stranded.

flames such as gas-fired heaters as, under exceptional circumstances, batteries may give off gases that could ignite and explode. Always make sure that the battery pack is not damaged. Never charge the scooter battery pack outside as the charger is not designed to get wet. If the charger appears damaged in any way do not use it and contact your dealer for a replacement.
Warning! Always charge in a dry, well ventilated area.
Warning! It is strongly recommended that the mains socket used for charging the scooter is protected
by a 30 m/A RCD (residual current device). Many buildings have sockets protected by a system based RCD. If you are in doubt as to the level of protection in your charging location then either purchase a plug in RCD or consult a qualified electrician to verify that your charging location mains sockets are protected.
Warning! If batteries are damaged or frozen they could heat up during charging and in an extreme case,
explode.
Warning! Do not attempt to open the battery box/enclosure, there are no user serviceable parts inside.
It may be necessary for some carriers such as airlines to physically disconnect the batteries for transit. If this is the case the battery pack can simply be removed from the scooter.
Warning! Never use a different battery charger to that supplied by your dealer. Damage or injury may
occur if you do!
Warning! When charging batteries NEVER connect or disconnect the charger from the scooter while it
is still connected to the mains. - Remove the charger mains plug from the wall socket having first switched the mains socket off if a switch is provided.

2. Check the vehicle is switched off and the key removed.
3. Check the mains switch is off. Never connect or disconnect the charger with the mains on.
4. Connect the charger to the charging point on the front of the battery pack.
5. Connect the mains plug and switch on.
6. The lamp illuminates green when the charger is powered up, then red when it is charging. The
charger lamp changes to green when the battery is fully charged.
7. Switch off the mains and remove the plug from the battery pack when fully charged. Do not leave the charger plugged in with the power off. This will gradually discharge your battery.
Tip: You can charge you battery pack either installed or uninstalled from the scooter using exactly the same method.
The batteries are the lifeblood of your vehicle. Their characteristics can change depending on charging, temperature, usage and other factors. Listed below are guidelines to prolong battery life.
1. After using your vehicle always charge it at the end of the day even after a short journey.
2. If you do not use your vehicle for a prolonged period, place it on charge once a week, overnight.
3. Always use the correct charger with the correct batteries as recommended by Electric Mobility (Euro) Ltd
4. If the batteries have been flat for a long time (about 2 months) it is recommended you contact your
dealer before charging
5. Do not charge the vehicle in the open / out of doors – it may rain and the battery charger is not waterproof.
6. Keep the vehicle in a well-ventilated area and away from any naked flame.
7. Do not part charge the batteries. Allow the charger to complete its cycle.
Note: Avoid storing your scooter in cold/damp places. This will shorten battery life and may cause deterioration in the structure. Batteries are expensive to replace – it is wise to look after them.
Warning! Never disconnect a battery or the charger while the charger is connected to the mains
Warning! If one or both batteries are damaged they could heat up when charging and, in an extreme
case, explode.
Notice Your battery pack/s is/are not user-serviceable. Your dealer will replace them when they are
exhausted and dispose of them in line with environmental regulations applicable at the time.
It may be necessary for some carriers such as airlines to physically disconnect the battery packs. The battery pack can simply be removed from the scooter to achieve disconnection.

User Maintenance
It is important for safety that you carry out the following checks before use.
1. Visually check the machine for damage.
2. Visually check the tyres for damage.
3. Check the steering moves freely.
4. Check that the tiller is secure and that the tiller thumb-wheel is tight.
5. Check that the front and rear chassis halves are properly attached to each other.
6. Check that the seat is located correctly.
7. Check the armrests are secure.
8. The battery should be fully charged.
9. Keep your vehicle clean by using a damp cloth and soapy water – never use a hose.
Important – Possible faults
As you get used to your vehicle you will get a feel for how it behaves. If something feels unusual, for instance the vehicle does not accelerate or brake smoothly; the brakes are not holding on a slope or the steering feels different, stop using the scooter, contact your dealer immediately and explain to the engineer exactly what the problem is.
Disposal
Contact your dealer for advice before you consider disposing of your scooter. They will be aware of the environmental regulations in force at the time and will assist you to meet the applicable environmental legislation.
Servicing and Maintenance
1. This vehicle is designed for minimum maintenance. However it is recommended that your vehicle is
serviced at least once a year, by an approved Electric Mobility Dealer. If the vehicle is used constantly we recommend a twice yearly maintenance.
2. Ensure the engineer stamps the Service Log (page 28) on completion of all servicing. Keep all receipts
for servicing and repairs with this handbook. This may add value when selling the vehicle.
3. When the vehicle is due for its annual service make sure you report any concerns you have,
preferably when you book the service (See points to look out for below).
4. On completion of the service, always test the vehicle before the engineer leaves and make sure you
are satisfied with the work carried out.
Points to look out for:
• Are there any strange noises from the wheels or does the frame creak when going over rough ground?
• Is the battery charged up correctly – is the “full” charge green light on after charging?
• Is the steering tight or is it loose when turning? Is there any play in the steering?
• Are the brakes effective ?
• Is there any damage to spigots or parts related to disassembly ?
• Has anything come loose?
• Does the vehicle perform as well as it did when it was new?
• Are there noises or rattles that were not there before?
• Are there any signs of damage, corrosion or cracking?

Frequently Asked Questions
I want to transport my vehicle in a car.
Your scooter can be dismantled for transportation as described in this manual. Your dealer can advise you on the correct equipment to be used depending on your vehicle and your physical capabilities.
Can I fit weatherproofing such as a canopy ?
No, the Rascal Veo models are too small to have a canopy as they can adversely affect stability and handling.
How long will my batteries last ?
This is a difficult question as it depends on many factors. The life of a battery depends upon the number of cycles the battery goes through, the peak loads and on the conditions of use. Some general advice about battery care:
• Keep it charged, and do not let the battery run completely flat.
• Ensure the scooter is fully charged at the end of the charging cycle
• Batteries may not perform as well in very cold weather.
• Ask you dealer to test and change your batteries if they have reached the end of their useful life. Care can prolong the life of the batteries but remember that, in time, all batteries will fail to perform to specification.
What range can I expect ?
The generally expected range is recorded in the Technical Specification Sheet. Remember, range can be affected by many things such as:
• Temperature. Cold weather can reduce the output of the batteries.
• Type of terrain. Obviously climbing hills takes more energy than driving on the flat.
• Weight of the person.
• The condition and charge of the batteries.
• Faulty or old batteries or a faulty charger. NB. Always use the correct charger with the correct batteries and ensure the scooter is fully charged before you start out.
How long should I keep my vehicle before I change it?
It is important that the vehicle you have suits your needs and abilities. Your scooter should serve you well for many years but change it if at any time you feel it no longer meets your needs. Consult your dealer on the condi­tion of your vehicle and remember vehicles of any type become more expensive to maintain the older they get

Technical Information Regarding EMI
Important Technical Information regarding Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
The intensity of interference from electromagnetic energy is measured in volts per meter (v/m), which refers to the strength of the electrical source (voltage) as it relates to the distance away from the object being considered (in meters). Resistance of a scooter/wheelchair to certain EMI intensity is commonly called its “immunity level”. 20 volts/meter is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against interference from radio wave sources (the higher the immunity level, the greater protection).
Your scooter has been tested and found to meet the required immunity level from Electromagnetic Interference (20v/m): the recommended density of interference from electromagnetic energy.
• Do not operate devices such as CB radios or mobile phones while the vehicle is switched on.
• Avoid getting close to transmitter masts, such as television and radio masts.
• Note you may experience interference when close to ambulance or fire stations. If your vehicle starts to operate by itself switch it off and report this to your Dealer.
Warning! Even with the immunity level of 20 volts/meter, certain precautions must be followed to ensure
your scooter/wheelchair will not be affected by outside electromagnetic sources.
