FAQ'S
1. How do I dismantle the Rascal 480 for transport?
The Rascal 480 is designed for easy transport. To dismantle it, first remove the seat by lifting it straight up. Next, remove the battery pack and the front basket. You can then fold down the tiller (handlebars) and use the quick-release lever to separate the front and rear sections of the chassis. Most users find it fits comfortably into the boot of a standard hatchback.
2. What is the maximum range on a single charge?
Under optimum conditions, the Rascal 480 typically offers a range of up to 8 miles (13 km). Keep in mind that factors such as the user’s weight, the steepness of any hills, and the age of the batteries will affect the total distance you can travel before needing a top-up.
3. Can I take this scooter on an aeroplane?
Yes, but with a caveat. The Rascal 480 usually comes with sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries, which are generally airline-friendly. However, you must notify your airline at least 48 hours before flying. They will require the battery specifications and may ask you to disconnect the battery loom before the scooter is loaded into the hold.
4. Is the Rascal 480 suitable for use on the road?
No. The Rascal 480 is a Class 2 medical device, meaning it is designed for use on pavements and in shopping centres. It has a top speed of 4mph. You should only use it on the road if there is no pavement available or to cross from one side to the other.
5. How often should I charge the batteries?
To maintain battery health, you should charge your scooter after every use, even if you have only gone a short distance. If you aren’t using the scooter for a long period, we recommend charging it at least once a month to prevent the batteries from “flat-lining,” which can permanently reduce their capacity.
6. What is the weight capacity for this model?
The Rascal 480 is built with a sturdy frame that supports a maximum user weight of 18 stone (approx. 114 kg). Exceeding this weight limit can put undue stress on the motor and may void your warranty, so it is important to stick within these guidelines.
