Delivering the goods

Delivery was via Parcelforce.  Everything was packed into a single box (87cm x 39cm x 29 cm).  The combined weight of the Scoot and two batteries made for a very heavy box (as the Parcelforce driver was quick to complain about!), so if possible get your delivery driver to place the box where you intend to unpack and assemble it.

The assembly was straightforward and is well documented in the manual (download here), so I don't have much to add.  Just bear in mind that you will need to spend 10-15 minutes on the floor putting things in place and maybe tightening a few bolts with the supplied Allen key set (in a black wallet the size of a credit card), so you do need to be mobile enough to do this or get some help.  That aside, nothing about the assembly is a two-person job.  I connected both batteries to their chargers and both showed that they were fully charged.  Just remember to plug the chargers in before connecting it to the battery.

If you order a spare belt, then this and the Allen keys will fit into the pouch at the front of the supplied fabric basket that sits in the middle of the trailing arms.
