Loading and accessories
Adding accessories or cargo to your scooter can adversely affect stability and handling if the weight
distribution of the scooter is changed. To avoid the possibility of an accident, use extreme caution
when adding cargo or accessories to your scooter. Use extra care when riding a scooter that has
added cargo or accessories. Here are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo or adding
accessories to your scooter:
Loading
The total weight of the operator, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit of
75 kg (165 lb). When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind:
1. Cargo and accessory weight should be kept as low and close to the scooter as possible. Make
sure to distribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the scooter to minimize imbal-
ance or instability.
