dexterity to drive the vehicle, adequate sight and
hearing to perceive danger in time, and can at all
times operate the scooter safely in the expected
conditions. If in doubt we suggest you consult a
healthcare professional and your nearest dealer for
advice on the most suitable scooter for your particular condition. Users should also regularly assess
their ability to operate their vehicle safely.
The Rascal Vecta Sport scooter should not be used

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
Owner’s Manual.
Dashboard Description
1. Battery Indicator: This indicator shows the level
of charge in the batteries. When the needle is in
the green zone, the batteries are fully serviceable
(adequately charged). If the needle is near the end
of the left side of the green zone, or if the red LED
(3) flashes a single flash slowly then the battery
needs 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 preset top
speed of your scooter. When the adjustment ring is
turned fully anticlockwise, this is the slowest speed
setting, marked by a tortoise. As the ring 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 when the
vehicle is moving.

3. Power On Indicator: When the ignition key is
inserted into the scooter and turned to the “on” or
“I” position, the red LED will illuminate after performing a self-check at power up. Do not attempt
to dive the scooter until the red LED is constantly
illuminated signalling that the scooter is ready. If you
do not follow this procedure then it will be necessary to turn the key to the off position (0) and back
to On (I) to restart the check procedure
Tip: If the red LED (3) flashes continuously or in a
repeated pattern then there may be a fault. A key
to these fault codes can be found in the “Scooter
diagnostic functions” section of this manual.
A common “fault” is that the scooter has been left in
freewheel mode. This will be shown by the LED (3)
symbol flashing 9 times in a sequence then a pause
and repeated again. Turn the key to the “0” or off
position, disengage the free-wheel mode and turn
the key back to the on or “I” position. If the red LED
(3) flashes once every 5 seconds then the controller
has entered Sleep Mode. To reactivate the scooter,
the On/Off key will need to be turned to the ‘Off’
position and then back to the ‘On’ position.
4. Horn: Press the button and the horn will sound,
if power is on. Release and the horn will cease.

current available
To use the outlet: Open the weather cap and insert
the USB plug used for powering/charging your particular device. (Fig.3) When not in use, remove your
USB lead and accessory and replace the cap on the
socket outlet.
Tip: The USB socket is ready for use once the blue
backlight is visible (Fig.4). If for any reason the vehicle
charge drops too low, the socket will turn to a red
backlit colour. In this state the USB outlet will not
function. (This is to preserve vehicle power in case of
very low charge levels).
8. Hazard lights: In an emergency or during a
break-down, the hazard lights should be switched
on. Actuate the hazard light switch once to switch
on - All turn indicators will flash together. Actuate

lights off. (– In the on mode the switch will illuminate)
9. Indicator (left and right turn): Pressing the
rocker switch on the left side will turn on the left
indicators and on the right side will turn on the right
indicators. By putting the switch in the mid position,
all indicators will be switched off.
10. Half speed switch: When travelling in ped
estrian areas (not on the road) this switch can be
pressed to limit the maximum scooter speed to
50% of the value pre-selected by the speed control
(2) knob. This means that the scooter will not be
able to travel at more than 4mph. To turn this
function off, press the switch for a second time.
11. Tiller charge point:

13. Tiller Adjustment lever: This lever allows the
tiller to be moved and locked in a comfortable
position for the user.
14. Emergency Brake Lever: Located on the delta
handlebar assembly See “Braking” section for details
15. Emergency Brake lever latch pin: Located on
the upper side of the emergency brake lever
See “Braking” section for details
16. Battery cut-out: Your scooter is equipped with
a battery cut-out (Fig.5) that is designed to operate in
the unlikely event of an electrical or electromechanical
overload and is located beneath the rear edge of the
seat on the upper / battery cover.
If this activates, all power will be cut from the
batteries to the scooter. This device can be re-set by
pressing the button shown in the illustration. Should
it activate for a second time please seek advice from
your dealer
• Make sure the On/Off (ignition) key is in the
off position.
• When standing at the back of the scooter, move
the lever UP towards you (see label) - the vehicle
can now be pushed in Freewheel.
• Move the lever DOWN (away from you) 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.
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.
5
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 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
(Fig.6).
6
Brakes
There are 3 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 parking brake will engage. This will
stop the vehicle rolling forward or backward. When
you start the brake will automatically disengage.
If the battery should go flat the brakes automatically
engage. Note that even when freewheel is selected,
a secondary regenerative braking system is applied
automatically to limit the maximum speed. You may
notice this system causing drag when moving the
scooter in freewheel mode.
10
Rascal Vecta Sport Scooter Owner’s Manual and Service Record
The third braking system is a mechanical disc brake
that can be used in emergencies. This braking system is controlled by pulling/compressing the lever
on the handle bars (see Part (14) on the Dashboard
Controls description). The more pressure you apply
to the lever the heavier the braking effect will be.
Tip: If you wish to lock this braking system on
permanently to act as a supplementary parking
brake, you may do this by first pulling/compressing
the lever and then by pushing down on the latch
pin. (see part (15) in the dashboard overview)
Release the lever and the brake will stay engaged.
(Fig.7). Remember to always disengage the locking
latch before use by compressing the lever fully. The
latch pin will automatically disengage.
To ensure that the user is sitting centrally, the armrests should always be adjusted to be equidistant
from the centre of the seat.
The angle of each armrest can also be adjusted.
To do this, locate the arm angle adjustment screws
one (Fig.10). Raise or lower each arm to the desired
angle and adjust the bolt and lock-nut to hold the
setting permanently. As this procure requires tools
it is suggested that your dealer should make these
adjustments for you. There is a pinching injury risk
when performing this procedure.
7
Warning! Do not use the brake for normal
driving and never engage the lever locking pin
unless the scooter is stationery.
Warning! Never attempt to disassemble or
adjust the braking system. Any maintenance
must be carried out by your authorised dealer.
Armrest adjustment
When preparing to sit on the scooter, first lift one
armrest to enable easy access (Fig.8). When riding
always have the armrest in the down position. Avoid
pinching fingers as you lower the armrest. If you
require more room in the width of the seat, undo
the knobs at the rear of the seat (Fig.9). Slide the
armrests in or out to suit. Tighten both knobs to
lock the armrest width adjustment in place.
8

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.
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!
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 try to stay on well prepared hard 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.
Tip: The Rascal Vecta Sport Scooter is equipped
with a sensor that will automatically reduce the
scooter speed during potentially dangerous cornering. If you feel power loss during a very tight
turn, this is quite normal.
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 tubeless runflat pneumatic tyres. Should any of them become
seriously damaged they should be replaced by your
dealer. Do not attempt to replace them yourself. The
Vecta’s tyres are designed to be used for a limited
distance (not more than 25 Miles) after a puncture
has occurred to enable the user to reach their destination. Remember to drive at ½ speed under these
conditions. The tyres are designed to be puncture
repaired on or off the vehicle minimizing down-time.
NEVER replace your tyres with non-manufacturer
recommended ones.
16
Rascal Vecta Sport Scooter Owner’s Manual and Service Record
11. Pavements: It is illegal to drive at more than
4 m.p.h. on the pavement. When driving on pavements and in pedestrian areas, make sure you actuate the “tortoise” switch on the dashboard - this
will automatically limit the scooter to the maximum
legal limit of 4mph. 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 or jet-wash 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.
14. Punctures: Your Vecta Sport scooter is
equipped with run flat tyres. See advice in (10) above.
Warning! Do not stand the scooter up on its
ends or sides as it may become unstable and
topple causing an injury.
To transport your scooter you will need specialist lifting equipment and / or ramps. Your dealer
will be able to advise you on the best solution for
your particular needs. It is possible to fold the tiller
down and either fold the seat forwards or remove it
completely for storage or to assist in loading into a
vehicle using ramps or a hoist.
To remove the seat:
1. Grasp the seat as shown (Fig.17), compress
the seat swivel lever and lift the seat away from the
scooter frame.
Tip: Removing the seat may be easier if you first
use the seat swivel function to rotate the seat so it
is at 90˚ to the scooter before lifting.
Transporting your Scooter
Warning! Dismantling the scooter involves
lifting and handling heavy parts. Weights are
given in the Technical Specification; consider
if you need help in handling parts before you
try to lift them. Your scooter is not designed
for unassisted loading into and out of a car or
similar vehicle. Specialist ramps and hoists are
available for transferring the scooter into and out
of a vehicle. Contact your dealer for advice on
how best to transport your scooter in your particular vehicle.
Warning! Pinching or Crushing. Be careful
to avoid being pinched or having your hands
crushed when lifting or handling parts. Wear
gloves whenever possible. Special attention
should be paid when raising and lowering armrests or rotating/handling the front wheels when
dismantling or during re-assembly for transportation in a vehicle.
To fold the tiller:
1. Having first removed the seat, fold the tiller
to its lowest position by actuating the tiller
adjustment lever (Fig.18) and then fold down.
Release the lever to lock in the down position.

Rascal Vecta Sport Scooter Owner’s Manual and Service Record
Battery Charging
Warning! When charging batteries NEVER
smoke or charge batteries in a place where there
are naked flames such as gas-fired heaters as,
under exceptional circumstances, batteries may
give off gases that could ignite and explode. If
the scooter has been damaged, it is possible that
the batteries have been affected. In this case do
not charge the scooter and refer to your dealer
for assistance. Never charge the scooter 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! Never use a different battery charger
to that supplied by your dealer. Damage or injury
may occur if you do!
The scooter charging socket is located on the upper
right-hand side of the tiller. Rotate the protective
cover and push in the charging plug. When the
vehicle is charged remove the plug, and reposition
the protective cover to keep the water and dust out
(Fig.22). The battery charger has a multi-coloured
charge status LED This lamp changes colour
depending on the status of the charger (Fig.23).
• The LED colours have the following meanings:
• Flashing red: Standby or fault – A fault exists if
the charger is connected to the mains power and
scooter but continues to flash. Standby state exists
if the charger is plugged into the mains but not into
the scooter charge port.
• Solid Red: Charging
• Solid Green: Fully charged
• No Light: Mains power is not connected to the
charger or the charger is faulty.
Tip: Always ensure that the lamp shows green
before switching off and disconnecting the charger
at the mains.
Warning! If batteries are damaged or frozen
they could heat up during charging and in an
extreme case, explode.
Warning! It may be necessary for some
carriers such as airlines to physically disconnect
the batteries for transit. If this is the case the
battery cover can be removed without the use
of tools once the seat has been removed. This
should only be done by appropriately skilled/
qualified personnel.
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.

Connection Instructions
When you receive your vehicle the batteries are only
partially charged – always fully charge them before
use, preferably over-night.
1. Place your machine in an area that is dry and
well ventilated. Make sure a power point is nearby.
2. Check the vehicle is switched off and the
key removed.
3. Check the mains switch is off. Never connect
or disconnect the charger from the scooter with the
mains on.
4. Connect the charger to the charging point
on the tiller of the scooter as above.
5. Connect the mains plug and switch on.
6. The lamp illuminates red when the charger
is powered up and charging has started (this
lamp will flash red if there is a battery fault or
the charging plug has not been properly pushed
into the charging socket). The LED will show
green when the scooter batteries are fully charged.
7. Switch off the mains and remove the
charging plug from the scooter charging
socket when fully charged. Do not leave the
charger plugged in with the power off. This may
gradually discharge your batteries.
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.
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.
Notice
Avoid storing your scooter in cold/damp
places. This will shorten battery life and may
cause deterioration in their structure. Batteries
are expensive to replace – it is wise to look
after them.
Notice
All Electric Mobility Vehicles are sold through
authorised dealers. Make sure your dealer
demonstrates all the features of the product
prior to, or when, it is delivered.
Warning! Never disconnect a battery or
the charger while the charger is connected to
the mains.
Warning! If one or both batteries are dam-
aged they could heat up when charging and,
in an extreme case, explode.
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 as supplied
with your scooter.

Warning! 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.
Storage Conditions
We recommend to store the mobility scooter at a
temperature of 15˚C to ensure a long service life of
the product and batteries. The allowable temperature range to store the mobility scooter is -40˚C up
to 65˚C. The allowable temperature range to store
batteries is -15˚C up to 40˚C.

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 excessive 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?
21
Scooter Diagnostic Functions
Your Scooter Controller provides diagnostic information in the form of flash codes displayed on the red power
LED on the battery gauge. . The LED will flash a given number of flashes and then repeat the sequence after
a pause . Upon switching on, the controller conducts a diagnostic test.. This is quite normal. Provided that no
fault is detected the LED will then be on constantly. If there is a fault then the LED will continue to flash the
pattern corresponding to the numbers below. eg if a repeating pattern of 2 flashes appears, then a motor fault
would be expected as per the list below.
Number of Flashes Indicated fault and Corrective Action
1Battery needs recharging or bad connection with batteries.
Check connections, and recharge batteries.
2Bad motor connection. Request assistance from dealer who will
check all connections between controller and motor.
3Short circuit between motor and battery connection. Contact dealer.
4 & 5Not used
6Key switch or associated circuit interruption. If fault continues
contact dealer.
7Throttle fault. Finger control levers must be in neutral (centred)
position before key is turned on. Switch scooter off, centre levers,
and switch back on. If fault persists, contact dealer.
8Controller fault. Inform dealer who will check connections
& controller.
9Scooter left in freewheel or has a bad parking brake connection.
Engage drive, and switch scooter of and on. If this fails to cure the
problem, check parking brake and ensure it stops the vehicle.
Inform dealer who will check brake and motor connections.
10 Excessive voltage detected at controller. Check battery connections.
Tip: If in doubt switch off and switch on – if this does not cure the fault contact your dealer. Your dealer is
there to help you but they can only do this if you give them as much information as possible. Remember
correct information will get the problem fixed quicker and save you money. Phone the dealer and explain
exactly what the problem is, recounting as much detail as possible. Tell them about the flash sequence
appearing on the LED indicator; this will help the engineer to identify the problem before he calls to fix it.
Your dealer is there to help you.

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.
24
Rascal Vecta Sport Scooter Owner’s Manual and Service Record
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?
We estimate a service life of five years for this
product (excluding batteries and tyres) provided it is
used in strict accordance with the intended use as
set out in this document and all maintenance and
service requirements are met. The estimated service
life can be exceeded if the product is carefully used
and properly maintained, and provided technical
and scientific advances do not result in technical
limitations. The service life can also be considerably
reduced by extreme or incorrect usage. The fact
that we estimate a service life for this product does
not constitute an additional warranty.
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.
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.
• 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.
