Hill climbing
Your scooter is designed to travel up
or down most reasonable slopes up
to 9°, however both hill climbing
capability and distance travelled
between battery charges will be
adversely affected by such things as:
1. The weight of the user.
2. Terrain (e.g. grass or gravel).
3. Steepness of hills.
4. Level of charge and the age of
the batteries.
5. Extremes of temperature.
6. Use and weight of accessories.
Transportation
Your scooter may be
disassembled quickly and simply
for transportation by car:
(i) Lift off the front basket.
(ii) Remove the seat, leaving the
seat stem in position.
(iii) Remove the battery packs as
shown on page 14
(iv)Lower the tiller using the
adjustment knob, to its lowest
setting (Photo 7A and 7B).
(v) The rear section can be de-
docked if necessary (Photo 8).
(vi)Stow the scooter safely and
securely in the luggage
compartment of the vehicle,
(Photo 9).
Important: Remember to
re-engage the drive unit by
pushing the freewheel lever
forward to stop the scooter
from moving. Always secure
your scooter before
transportation.
