Warning:

Do not carry passengers on your Scooter. Your Scooter is designed for

a single occupant which complies with legal requirements for pavement vehicles.

Carrying passengers on your Scooter may result in personal injury and/or

property damage.

We will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting

from failure to observe these weight limitations. Please also remember when

carrying heavy objects that this will increase your total weight and may make

your Scooter unstable.

2.Inclines:

More and more modern buildings are designed with disability access in mind.

Ramps have specified percentage of inclination, designed for easy and safe

access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180 degree turns) that

require you to have good cornering skills on your Scooter.

a. Take a wide arc with your Scooter's front wheel around tight corners, your rear

wheels will follow preventing you from cutting the corner short and bumping or

getting hung up on raised currbs.

b. When descending an incline keep your speed adjustment set to the slowest

speed setting to ensure a safely controlled descent and driving in a forward

direction only. If your Scooter descent is quicker than you anticipated allow

the Scooter to completely stop, then progress at a slower speed setting.

Warning:

Never drive down an incline at full speed. When climbing an incline,

try to keep your Scooter moving, if you must stop, start up again slowly and then

accelerate smoothly with caution. Avoid sudden stop starts, lean forward towards

your handlebars to increase stability and prevent rearward tipping.

Warning:

When climbing an incline, do not zig-zag or drive at an angle up the

face of the incline. Drive your Scooter smoothly up the incline without stopping,

this greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall.

6 degree maximum incline
