Gradients and Drops
Do not drive on roads with large drops or
potholes. Such drops or potholes may cause
damage and/or injury.
Do not cross wide water gutters where there is
a risk of getting the wheels stuck.
Always use a low speed setting when ascending
or descending a gradient.
Do not drive on gradients steeper than those
stated on the diagram below:
Warning
Do not set in freewheel mode when driving on
a gradient.
Always re-engage the anti-freewheel device
before use. Failure to do so may result in
injury.
To protect your safety, the power will
automatically cut off and the electromagnetic
(EM) brake will activate while you are driving
down gradients over 15º. This will limit the
speed to a safe level. Switch the power off and
on again to restart your scooter.
Step and Obstacle Climbing
The scooter is capable of climbing an 80mm (3”)
obstacle from a stationary start or a 100mm (4”)
obstacle from a moving start.
The ground clearance of the scooter is 100mm
(4”).
To climb an obstacle when moving, start moving
at least 50cmm (20”) from the obstacle and
mount the obstacle head on (not at an angle).
However, this method is not recommended as
this may cause damage and/or injury.
