Model CRISTAL – Full suspension scooter

Full suspension scooter, beautiful lights and many other features of disability scooter model CRISTAl have served many customers through the years. It has been some time since this product was introduced, but we like the history of our company. This model is something which never gets old or lacks popularity, no matter the passage of time.

When we speak about disability scooter CRISTAL, the first thing which comes to mind are its many features. With a USB charger, easy to read display, visible buttons, there is just no way this scooter won’t meet your expectations.

Are you a business person? Then this would be great for you, as it comes with colours that look highly professional. Pristine white, Luxurious black and Sturdy silver give it a serious and adult look. Most of all, with those colours, you can blend well in the background, so this is a perfect choice if you don’t want to stand out.

Sturdy like a beautiful and precious crystal 

This model of Veleco disability scooter definitely belongs to the category of more sturdy scooters. Compared to ZT15 or FASTER, you will find it to be bigger and more massive. Additional size and weight doesn’t mean a bad thing though.

With such specifications, it sticks to the ground, being much more secure when making a turn or encountering unexpected obstacles. CRISTAL can easily tackle uneven roads, making the ride smooth, as this powerful full suspension scooter cannot be stopped by pebbles and ditches.

Full suspension scooter – secure way to travel around

With all the features, it would not be good to not say anything about the easy-to-read display. On top of that, you would definitely be interested to know that buttons are easily marked, so there is no doubt as to what does what.

How to lock scooter steering wheel?

To answer the common question about how to lock the scooter steering wheel, we have prepared a short guide. Not only that, we will also answer the questions regarding the secure boot under the seat. Stay with us and learn how to operate your scooter!

One of the first steps to make is to determine, which model do you have. It might seem unimportant, but depending on that, different rules might apply to your vehicle. From there, this handy guide that comes next should answer all of your questions.

Step by step – How to lock scooter steering wheel

As we have mentioned before, first comes determining the model of your scooter. If you own either ZT15, ZT63, FASTER or CRISTAL model, then the option of locking steering wheel is available to you.

The process of locking is very simple:

  1. First you have to turn the steering wheel to the left side. In case of ZT63 you might want to try to move it slightly about.
  2. While having done so, with the ignition key in the lock, you have to press it in and then turn it counter-clockwise.
  3. Congratulations, you have successfully managed to lock the steering wheel.

The process of unlocking the steering wheel is likewise simple, by just using the ignition key.

How to lock and unlock secure compartment and lockbox

This one is a bit more tricky, because there are differences depending on the model you have.

In the case of the models ZT15 and FASTER, apart from the ignition key, you would have received one that is used to open it. To do so, simply put the key in the lock on the back of the scooter and turn it, which will open the compartment for you.

If you have our CRISTAL or ZT63 model though, the secure compartment is opened by the ignition key into the main ignition lock and turn it counter-clockwise without pressing it in, as that is used to lock the steering wheel as mentioned above.

If your scooter comes with a secure lockbox in the back, the only key to be used is the one that you have received alongside the ignition key.

We hope this short post has answered all your questions about how to lock scooter steering wheel and storage. In case of additional questions, always feel free to contact us.

Do you wonder if you need a CBT test for moped?

Often we are met with questions regarding driving license or a CBT test for moped that can reach up higher speed of 27 mph. In our humble opinion, there is nothing more enjoyable and liberating than to travel around UK on moped. Want to know the answer? Read this article.

At the top speed of 30 mph those vehicles are quite fun and quick, however they indeed do need CBT test for moped or a driving license as they fall under the AM category. While our mopeds are as powerful as any 50cc mopeds, they are more eco-friendly as they don’t use gas but electricity.

The CBT stands for Compulsory Basic Training. In lieu of not having a full driving license, you would need to go and sit your CBT exam. This course will be a proof that you can handle the basics of riding a bike. While it will come with some limitations, a CBT will allow you to ride vehicles similar to a 50cc moped to more or less its full potential.

What mopeds does Velobike have in its offer?

Getting your first quicker means of transport, provided you have finished CBT test for moped can be quite a challenge. Because of that, at Velobike we have only picked the best products which would suit people of all various preferences.

  • SAGITTA — Super fast electric moped. SAGITTA rides as fast as an arrow. It is fitted with Dual Front Wheel Technology, and it can tackle multiple terrain types. Thanks to Lithium-Ion of 72V it has a very long range. Powerful motor of 2000W ensures that you can drive this vehicle really fast and climb any hill.
  • ADVENA — You can travel in any weather with ADVENA — fully enclosed electric moped. This futuristic electric vehicle is available on the grand British market only at Velobike. Manufactured with high quality comfort in mind and full of the newest tech, this awesome three wheeled machine will take you anywhere that you desire.

All of those models were tested by us and our customers, and we can say for sure that they can lead to a very fun, very satisfying riding experience. But how old does one need to ride a moped?

Can mopeds be used by 16 years old and can they do CBT test for moped?

Certainly! The CBT test for moped is just a quick course. It can be completed by any UK citizen that is 16 years of age in just few hours. The purpose of this course is to just teach new users of such vehicles. Doing the course you will learn how to stay safe on the road and is in no way hard to do.

After you’ve completed CBT, you can ride any of our mopeds on roads and because they can reach the speed of 27 mph (ca. 43 km/h), you can even drive them on dual carriageway. The CBT does come with some limitations:

  • You are limited to a top speed of 28 mph (ca. 45 km/h) at the age of sixteen.
  • You are not able to go on the motorway.
  • Cannot pick up any kind of passenger. You are allowed to carry items, but not people. For this you would need motorbike driving license.
  • The L plates that you are provided with will have to stay on until further notice.

If you have more questions about CBT test for moped, you can follow this link or always ask us for details. We truly believe this moped would suit you though so why not order one now? They do come fully assembled after all!

What does that mean for you as our customers? Now you will be able to pick a slightly better option when buying, coming with more powerful battery that can be removed and charged at home.

Why would you want a Lithium-Ion battery?

There are numerous reasons why you would want your FASTER mobility scooter equipped with this kind of battery. Compared to the usual Lead-Acid, the Li-Ion batteries last much longer, while also being much lighter. This means however, that they need to be charged for longer but less frequent.

The Lithium-Ion batteries also perform better in cold temperatures, so depending on where you live, it might be more preferable and efficient option just for you.

They have very good life cycle, as they usually last about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles, whichever occurs first. Be mindful that one charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully recharged again.

FASTER mobility scooter – better than before
