Note: The drive range of a mobility device is strongly influenced by external factors, such as the speed setting of the
wheelchair, the charging state of the batteries, surrounding temperature, local topography, road surface characteristics,
tire pressure, weight of user, drive style and use of batteries for lighting, servos etc.

The specified values are theoretical maximum achievable values measured according to ISO 7176-4.
