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

Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the
downgrade of a ramp or other incline, sit right back in
your seat, brace your arms on the handlebars and your
feet on the floorboard
Take a wide arc with your

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 kerbs.
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.

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.

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.

You should not travel over a potentially hazardous

incline i.e. areas covered with ice or snow, cut grass or wet
leaves or any unstable surface.

Do not overload your Scooter at the rear when

climbing an incline. Always lean forward to provide the best
stability and prevent rearward tipping.
