Driving
Even though the Mini Crosser is very stable, it can tip over.
Avoid sudden changes of speed and direction when travelling at
high speed, on poor surfaces and, not least, on slopes.
For short distances the Mini Crosser can drive up steeper
gradients than it has been tested as dynamically stable for. The
same applies to driving down such gradients. In such cases
there is an increased risk of the Mini Crosser tilting and even
tipping over. So be extra careful in following the driving tips
given below.
Anti-tilt wheels are recommended for driving in very hilly terrain.
(Optional extra)
New users are urged to practise the following in an area where
there is no other traffic:
•
Set the Mini Crosser to low speed. Drive forwards and backwards.
Gradually turn the speed selector up and feel the change in the
speed of the Mini Crosser.
• Practise starting and braking. Get used to the Mini Crosser’s
response time.
•
Practise driving in a narrow space, similar to inside a shop or
through a door.
•
Practise turning, and get a sense of how much space is required.
Always drive slowly when turning. Practise reversing too.
• Practise cornering and driving over obstacles and on slopes. Al-
ways drive straight up/down kerbs and ramps. Never at an angle.
See the illustrations on the following pages.
• Try braking at different speeds and notice the stopping distances.
• If possible, try driving on different surfaces (road, grass and grav-
el).
•
Practise assessing how far you can drive on a single battery
charge. Note how quickly the battery indicator changes from
green to amber to red.
Note!
The driving distance of the Mini Crosser will be reduced when
