Product Features
The EVRider Gypsy Q2 is engineered with several key features to enhance your mobility experience:
- Motor/Transaxle System: Provides power to both rear wheels, enhancing agility and power compared to single-motor designs.
- Redesigned Removable Battery Pack: The 24V 11.6Ah Lithium-Ion battery can be easily removed from the scooter for convenient charging, either on or off the unit.

Charging the Battery
The Gypsy Q2 features a convenient removable battery pack that can be charged on or off the scooter.
- Charging On-Scooter: Locate the charging port on the scooter. Plug the charger into the port, then into a standard wall outlet.
- Charging Off-Scooter: The battery pack can be easily removed. Once removed, connect the charger directly to the battery pack and then to a wall outlet.
- The battery indicator lights on the charger will show the charging status. Ensure the battery is fully charged before initial use and after each significant period of use.
- A full charge provides a driving range of 7-10 miles, depending on terrain and user weight.
