Product Stability 

Scooters and powered wheelchairs are designed to allow the user flexibility of 

movement in restricted areas. Driving at maximum speed and attempting sharp 
turns can create a situation where the product becomes unstable. Therefore it is 

essential that the user pay attention to the guidance set out in this manual. 

 

For maximum stability the speed setting should be set up to 50% of 

the maximum available (halfway between the tortoise and the hare or 
just entering the red sector on the speed indicator depending on the 
model.) 

 
The main factors affecting stability are: 

 

Maximum speed setting 

 

Seat height 

 

User movement 

 

User’s manoeuvres 

 

Gradients or slopes 

 

Please keep your speed to a level where you can safely stop without having to 

make any erratic turns. 
Do not load bags etc. on the back of the seat as this will affect the centre of 

gravity and could increase instability. 

Do not lean outside of the ‘footprint’ of the product, especially whilst moving. 

Avoid making turns on gradients or slopes. 
 

 

Driving in Pedestrian Areas 

As mentioned  previously, when using the scooter in pedestrian areas always 

lower your maximum speed to that of the pedestrians around you. Remember 
the stopping distance of your scooter and always allow enough space to stop 

safely to avoid collisions with pedestrians or other objects.
