CORNERING INFORMATION
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of
tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven road
surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from
a grassy area to a paved area—especially at high speed while turning) and abrupt directional changes. High
cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and
steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your Travel Scooter from tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable centre of
gravity. When using your Travel Scooter at higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly
reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. Always exercise common sense when cornering.
BRAKING INFORMATION
Your Travel Scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems:
Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the centre/
stop position.
Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop or when
power is removed from the system for any reason.
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your Travel Scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces
composed of concrete, blacktop or tarmac. However, Pride recognises that there will be times when you will
encounter other surface types. For this reason, your Travel Scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed
soil, grass and gravel. Feel free to use your Travel Scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.
Reduce your Travel Scooter’s speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear or wrapped around the axle.
Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
