SCOOTER INCLINE
Bruno Independent Living Aids, Inc. has performed extensive
incline testing on its scooters and powerbases. Your scooter
has a maximum rated angle that is listed on the specification
page. This is based on the Maximum rated load in a standard
seat position (seat back upright and seat bottom in middle
adjustment)
Your scooter seat can be positioned through a wide range of
adjustments and have numerous accessories mounted that
effect the balance point of the unit. After the seat is adjusted
and the accessories are positioned the actual maximum safe
slope will have to be determined. In a Rear Wheel Drive (RWD)
Scooter this is the angle that the front wheel(s) start to lift off
the ground. This can be measured with the rider and
accessories on the unit using an inclinometer.
Your Front Wheel Drive (FWD) Scooter can usually safely
climb and 8 or 9 degree slope, steeper than 9 degrees the unit
loses traction on the drive wheel and the unit will not continue
to climb.
