1.2 Safety instructions
L Use only Vermeiren approved accessories.
L Before getting on or off, taking apart or transporting your scooter, turn the start key to the “off”
position.
L When transporting the scooter, no persons may be transferred along with it.
L Test the effects on the handling of the scooter when its center of gravity is shifted, for example
on up or down gradients, on laterally sloping ground or when driving over uneven terrain.
L Do not drive on roads with heavy traffic or roads that are muddy, gravelly, bumpy, narrow,
snowed over, icy or canal towpaths not guarded by any fence or hedge.
L Keep away from places where you might get the wheels stuck.
L Pay attention that your clothes do not tangle in the wheels.
L When picking up objects lying in front of, next to, or behind the scooter, take care that you do
not lean too far sideways: risk of tipping over.
L Avoid putting your scooter into the free-wheeling position on slopes.
L Never reverse uphill.
L Reduce speed when you go round corners.
L Do not take the scooter onto escalators.
L While driving, hold the handgrips with both hands.
L Put your legs and feet on the surfaces provided for them during the drive.
L Do not use your scooter in snowing, misty or heavy windy conditions.
L When storing or parking your scooter outside, protect it with a shrouding cover against
humidity.
L High levels of humidity or very cold conditions can reduce the performance of your scooter.
L Use your scooter strictly in accordance with regulations. Avoid driving straight over obstacles
(e.g. step, edge of the curb) or down from high ledges.
L Obey traffic regulations when driving on public roads. Please take other road-users into
consideration.
L As is the case with any other vehicle, you must never be under the influence of alcohol while
driving your scooter. This also applies to indoor driving.
L When traveling outdoors, adapt your driving to weather and traffic conditions.
L When driving in the dark, wear bright clothing or clothing with reflectors to be more visible, and
make sure that the reflectors on the scooter are clearly visible and drive with lighting on.
L Make sure that the lights of your scooter are free from dirt and/or other objects that could hide
them.
L Never use your scooter as a seat in an automobile or other vehicle.
L Check that the profile depth of the tyres is adequate.
L If your scooter has pneumatic tyres, be careful to inflate them to the correct pressure (see
pressure indication on the tyres) for optimal steering and stability of the scooter.
L Make sure that the maximum load of the scooter is not exceeded.
L Do not overload the shopping basket. The maximum load of the shopping basket is 5 kg.
L We advise not to use power strip and extension cord. Use the battery charger directly on the
supply socket. We advise not to use supply sockets with a time switch.

2 Use
This chapter describes the everyday use. These instructions are for the user and the specialist
dealer.
The scooter is delivered fully assembled by your specialist dealer. The instructions intended for the
specialist dealer on how to set up the scooter are given in § 3.
2.1 Remarks on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Your scooter has been tested according ISO 7176-21.
We wish to point out that sources of electromagnetic waves (e.g. cell phones) are liable to create
interferences. The electronics of the scooter itself could affect other electric appliances too.
To reduce the effect of electromagnetic sources of interference, please read the following warnings:
L WARNING: The scooter might disturb the operation of devices in its environment that
emit electromagnetic field.
L WARNING: The driving performance of the scooter can be influenced by electromagnetic
fields (e.g. electricity generators or high power sources).
L WARNING: Avoid using any portable TV or radio in the immediate environment of your
scooter for as long as it is turned on.
L WARNING: Avoid using any transmitter-receiver or cell phones in the immediate
environment of your scooter for as long as it is turned on.
L WARNING: Check the area for transmitter masts and avoid using the scooter close to
them.
L WARNING: If involuntary movements or braking occur, turn off the scooter as soon as it
is safe to do so.
Interfering electromagnetic fields may have a negative effect on the scooter’s electronic systems.
These can include:
Disengagement of the engine brake
Uncontrollable behavior by the scooter
Unintentional steering movements
In the presence of very strong or enduring interfering fields, the electronic systems could even break
down entirely or suffer permanent damage.
Possible sources of radiation include:
Portable receiver and transmitter installations (receiver and transmitter with fixed antenna
mounted directly on the transmitting unit)
- Transmitting and receiving sets
- Cell phones or "walkie talkie"
- portable TV, radio and navigation devices
- other personal transmitting devices
Mobile medium-range transmitting and receiving devices (e.g. car antennas, with the antenna
mounted on the outside of the vehicle)
- Fixed transmitting and receiving sets
- Fixed mobile transmitting and receiving devices
- Fixed radio, TV and navigation systems
Long-range transmitting and receiving devices
- Radio and television towers
- Amateur radio sets
Eris
2019-03
Page 10
Other home devices like CD player, notebook, cordless phones, AM/FM radios, electric shavers and
hair dryers, so far as we know, will have no influence provided that they function perfectly and their
cabling be in an excellent condition. Please conform to the operating instructions accompanying such
electric instruments to ensure trouble free operating of your scooter.
1. Do not operate hand-held (transceivers-receivers), such as citizens band (CB) radios, or turn ON
personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the powered vehicle is turned ON;
2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close to
them;
3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the vehicle OFF as soon as it is safe;
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered vehicle, may make it
more susceptible to EMI (Note: There is no easy way to evaluated their effect on the overall
immunity of the powered vehicle);
The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each powered
vehicle can resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called its “immunity level”. The higher the
immunity level, the greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of achieving at
least a 20 V/m immunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more common sources
of radiated EMI. This powered vehicle model as shipped, with no further modification, has an
immunity level of 20 V/m without any accessories.
2.2 Carrying the scooter
The best way to carry the scooter is to make use of neutral mode of the scooter. Place the scooter in
neutral and roll the scooter to the desired place.
If this is not possible you can carry the scooter by following steps:
1. Switch the scooter off.
2. Remove loose parts (seat and batteries).
3. Store loose parts in a safe place.
4. Carry the frame + steering unit with 2 or 3 persons to the desired place. Take the frame on the
chassis, and not by the bumpers or the plastic parts. Only on the fixed parts from the frame.
2.3 Assembly and disassembly of the scooter
L WARNING: Risk of injury - Make sure that all movable parts are assembled properly.
L WARNING: Risk of injury - Assembly and disassembly must be done by trained
personnel (e.g. specialist dealer).
L WARNING: Risk of injury - Be careful not to cut or bruise yourself with the cables.
L WARNING: Risk of injury - Turn the scooter off before disassembly.
L CAUTION: Risk of pinching - Do not place fingers between the components of the
scooter.
To disassemble, please proceed as follows:
Switch the scooter off.
Remove the seat (see “Adjusting the seat” chapter).
Lift off the rear plastic cover of the batteries.
Loosen the straps used to fasten the
batteries in place.
Unplug all battery plugs (not the pole
connectors) and all cable plug- and socket
connections.
Lift the batteries out.
Fold the steering unit down.
Eris
2019-03
Page 11
To reassemble, please proceed as follows:
Move the steering unit upwards.
Put the batteries back in and connect to
the battery plugs (plugs of the same color
go together).
Use the straps to tighten the batteries in
such a way that they will not move, even
during drives.
Mount the rear plastic cover.
Mount the seat (see "Adjusting the seat"
chapter).
2.4 Operating the brakes
To apply the electromagnetic brakes:
1. Let go of the speed or drive lever, the electromagnetic brake in the motor will be activated, the
scooter will stop.
To apply the parking brakes (optional):
1. Pull the brake lever towards the handgrip.
2. Release the brake lever .
The parking brake tightness can be adjusted by the
brake cable adjuster.
2.5 Transfer in and out the scooter
L WARNING: Risk of injuries – Always turn your scooter OFF before getting on or off your
scooter.
1. Park the scooter as close as possible to the place
where you want to transfer.
2. Check that the control panel (scooter) is switched
off.
3. Put the armpad upwards on the side you want to
transfer.
4. Transfer to / from the seat of the scooter.
2.6 Correct position in the scooter
Some recommendations for a comfortable use of the scooter:
1. Position your backside as close as possible to the backrest.
2. Make sure your upper legs are horizontal.
Eris
2019-03
Page 12
2.7 Driving the scooter
L WARNING: Risk of burns – Be careful when driving in hot or cold environments
(sunshine, extreme cold, saunas, etc.) for a sufficient amount of time and when
touching - Surfaces can assume the environment temperatures.
L WARNING: Risk of unsafe settings - Use only the driving characteristics described in
this manual.
L WARNING: Risk of injuries – Always turn your scooter OFF before getting on or off your
scooter.
2.7.1 Preparing the scooter for use
When you use your scooter for the first time, make sure that it is standing on level ground. All wheels
must be in contact with the ground.
1. For first time use, fully recharge the batteries.
2. Make sure that the motor is engaged.
3. Set the steering unit in the most comfortable position for yourself and make sure it has been
secured properly.
4. See that the seat has been locked in the driving position.
5. Sit down on the seat and verify that both armrests are folded down so you can rest your arms
on them.
6. Insert contact key and turn to the right, please wait for at least 3 seconds before you press the
speed lever otherwise you have a “delay protection” alarm. If necessary, turn on the
headlights.
7. Check the battery indicator and see that there is enough power for your trip. If not enough
capacity recharge the batteries before departure.
Now put the speed control on the operator control to the minimum position. Your scooter is now ready
for use. Only use higher speed setting when you are confident that you can easily operate and control
your scooter.
Before using the scooter in busy or potentially dangerous areas, familiarize yourself with the operation
of your scooter. Please practice in a wide and open area like a park.
2.7.2 Handling after usage
Before getting off from your scooter, make sure that all four wheels touch the ground simultaneously.
Next turn the key to the “OFF” (charge indicator goes out) to turn off the integrated light.
2.7.3 Parking the scooter
Once your scooter has been turned off, no command can be sent to the driving system. You will be
unable to deactivate the electromagnetic brakes before turning on your scooter again. Always park
your scooter on sites that are well guarded or clearly visible.
2.7.4 Your first trip
L WARNING: Control your scooter - Accustom yourself with the driving behavior of your
scooter.
L WARNING: Control your scooter - Do not use both sides of the speed lever
simultaneously. This might leave you unable to control your scooter.
L WARNING: Control your scooter, risk of injury - Do not adjust the speed while you are
driving.
L WARNING: Risk of injury - Be sure no people or objects are behind you while reversing
the scooter.
Driving
Once you are seated on your scooter and have started it as described above, take hold of the
handgrips with both hands, put your fingers to pull the speed lever in the required direction, i.e.:
Eris
2019-03
Page 13
PULL ACTION BY THE RIGHT HAND = FORWARD MOVEMENT
PULL ACTION BY THE LEFT HAND = BACKWARD MOVEMENT
While using your scooter indoor, do not put your scooter in the highest speed.
Driving on the pavement
Ensure the limit switch is set to the slowest setting when using the scooter on the pavement. The
maximum speed to drive on the pavement depends from country to country. Check the traffic law from
the relevant country.
The limit switch can be set to the fastest setting for use on the road or on private ground.
Braking
To brake, let go of the speed/drive lever, which will let it return to the zero position and slow down your
scooter to a gentle stop. Practice pulling away and braking to get accustomed to the scooter. You
need to be able to estimate how your scooter will react when you drive or brake.
Do not turn your scooter "OFF" while driving as this will lead to an emergency stop and possible risk of
accident and injury.
Driving in corners and bends
L WARNING: Risk of tipping over - Reduce your speed before you enter a curve or
corner.
L WARNING: Risk of clamping - Always maintain an adequate distance from corners and
obstacles.
L WARNING: Risk of tipping over - Do not drive your vehicle in an "S" pattern or make
erratic turnings.
For corners and bends, use both hands to turn the handle bar in the direction you wish to take. The
front wheels will turn accordingly and steer the scooter into a new direction. It is very important that
you ensure that there is enough space allowing you to go around bends and corners. Narrow
passages must preferably be approached in a large curve so as to allow you to enter the narrowest
part as straight from the front as possible. Bear in mind that your scooter’s back part will in most cases
be wider than the front part.
Take care not to enter curves and corners diagonally. By ‘cutting the corner’, chances are that your
rear wheels will run into obstacles and destabilize your scooter.
2.7.5 Backward movement
L WARNING: Control your scooter - Accustom yourself with the driving behavior of your
scooter.
L WARNING: Control your speed - Always go backward in the lowest speed possible.
L WARNING: Risk of collision - Always look to the back when you go backward.
Rearward driving requires increased concentration and care (LEFT HAND ACTION). This explains
why we have greatly reduced the speed of rearward movement in comparison with forward driving.
But we still recommend that you put the speed lever on minimum when you drive backward.
Do not forget that the steering direction with rearward driving is the opposite of when you go forward,
and that your scooter will turn directly in the required direction.
2.7.6 Going uphill
L WARNING: Control your scooter - Accustom yourself with the driving behavior of your
scooter.
L WARNING: Control your scooter - Never put your scooter in neutral on slopes.
L WARNING: Control your speed - Moving on slopes as fast as possible.
L WARNING: Risk of tipping over - Do not exceed the maximum gradient of static
stability uphill (see paragraph "Technical specifications").
L WARNING: Never reverse going uphill.
Eris
2019-03
Page 14
Sitting position, going uphill
Adjust your seat depth and backrest angle, in order to sit in most front position, see section
§3.4 and §3.5 for adjustment.
Always lean forward when climbing a steep gradient.
Always approach slopes directly from the front and, to avoid tipping over, see that all four wheels stay
in contact with the ground at all times (ramps, driveways, etc.). Your scooter is powered through a
differential. Both drive wheels should therefore stay in contact with the ground at all times. Should one
of the drive wheels no longer be in contact with the ground, a safety device will cut the transmission of
energy to the wheels, bringing the scooter to a halt.
If you come to a stop on a slope by letting go of the accelerator, the engine break will prevent your
scooter from rolling backward. As soon as the accelerator returns to zero position, the engine break is
activated.
To resume your uphill drive, push the accelerator throttle open fully to ensure the release of a
sufficient amount of power. This will allow your scooter to slowly ascend the slope.
If your scooter is unable to drive up, turn the speed control up and try again.
When driving on a gradient, the battery indicator light might move up and down. This is a normal
phenomenon so please do not worry.
2.7.7 Going downhill
L WARNING: Control your scooter - Accustom yourself with the driving behavior of your
scooter.
L WARNING: Control your scooter - Never put your scooter in neutral on slopes.
L WARNING: Control your speed - Moving on slopes as slow as possible.
L WARNING: Risk of tipping over - Avoid sharp bends.
L WARNING: Risk of tipping over - Do not exceed the maximum gradient of static
stability downhill (see paragraph "Technical specifications").
Sitting position, going downhill
Adjust your seat depth and backrest angle, in order to sit in most rearward position, see
section §3.4 and §3.5 for adjustment.
Always lean backward when descending a steep gradient.
Always approach downhill slopes directly from the front. Slantwise approaches can lead to some of
the wheels no longer staying in contact with the ground (danger of tipping over). If one of the back
wheels fails to make contact, the transmission of power will be cut and the scooter come to a
standstill.
The weight of the scooter will increase your downhill speed. Turn the speed control down and adjust
your speed to the conditions.
Avoid sharp bends on downhill slopes. The weight of your scooter could cause your scooter to lift up
on one side or even fall over around bends.
2.8 Driving the scooter on ramps
L WARNING: Risk of injury - Do not exceed the maximum load of the ramps.
L WARNING: Risk of injury - Choose the correct ramps so there cannot be caused any
injury or damage.
L WARNING: Risk of injury - Note that the considerable weight of the electric scooter
generated large reverse forces when an attendant is pushing the scooter over the ramps.
L WARNING: Risk of injury - Be sure that the wheel height is high enough to get over the
free height of the ramps. The scooter frame may not touch the ramps.

Should you wish to use ramps to drive over an obstacle, please note the following:
1. Find out from the manufacturer what the maximum load is for the ramps.
2. Drive on the ramps at the lowest speed possible.
3. See the instructions in the chapter "your first trip".
2.9 Driving the scooter over obstacles
L WARNING: Risk of injuries by unexpected movement
Do not use your scooter on an escalator.
Do NOT drive on slopes, obstacles, steps or kerbs larger than the size described in the
technical specification in §1.3.
Approach a kerb always from the front.
Make sure that all wheels make contact to the ground during driving up or down.
L CAUTION: Risk of damage
If necessary, take a short run up to speed-up the scooter to mount the obstacle or kerb.
Prevent that you or your scooter has to cope with a large recoil.
2.10 Operator control

L WARNING: Control your scooter - Never put your scooter in neutral while you are
driving.
L WARNING: Control your scooter - Never put your scooter in neutral on slopes. It may
accidentally roll away.
L WARNING: Risk of injury - Never pick up the electronic drive before stopping the
motor/gears to prevent motor from overheating.
The scooter is fitted with a freewheel device that is accessible and operable by the attendant or the
user when not sitting in the scooter. You should only use the scooter in neutral to transport the scooter
or to move it out of a danger zone.
Put the scooter in neutral with the motor stop lever on the back side of the scooter.
Driving
1. Put the motor stop lever on drive. This will again interlock the motor and gears.
2. Switch the ON/OFF key ON.
3. Electronically controlled driving is now possible.
Neutral
1. Switch the ON/OFF key OFF.
2. Put the motor stop lever on neutral (see label). This separates the motor from the gears.
3. The scooter can now be pushed without electronic drive.
2.12 Transport
2.12.1 By aircraft
Since the scooter is equipped with non-spillable AGM battery, it is possible to transport the
scooter (as a whole) by aircraft. Consult your airline for the correct handling procedures before
booking your flight.
Before handing your scooter over to the airport personnel, disconnect, and if necessary, remove the
battery from the scooter. See also section §3.11 about the battery replacement.
