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 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.
Sleep Mode
Your scooter has a digital battery status indicator, which displays the current
charge status of the batteries in your scooter.
The circuitry also detects changes in power draw from the batteries.
If you scooter is left switched on without use for about five minutes the
electronics will go into ‘sleep’ mode to conserve power. You will see one bar
on the battery status indicator oscillate from side to side. Simply switching the
scooter off and back on will enable the scooter to operate as noShopriderl.
Constant Speed Use
As the circuitry senses changes in power draw it is possible that on journeys
where your speed is constant for an extended period of time that you will see
the single bar oscillate even though the scooter is in motion. This is due to the
prolonged period of no change in power draw.
This is perfectly normal and by simply adjusting your speed for a moment will
change the battery status indicator back to normal.
Driving in Pedestrian Areas
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.
