have moved just past the curb. Do not approach the curb at an oblique angle;
doing so can increase the risk that your scooter tips over. Likewise, when
moving down a curb, approach the curb perpendicular to it and not at an
oblique angle. Avoid stopping completely when going over small objects,
curbs, or other obstacles and obstructions.

Incline Control
Your scooter can handle a wide range of inclines and declines. The scooter is
safe for operation on most handicap-accessible ramps. However, do not use
the scooter on inclines of a degree which makes operation of the scooter
difficult; if the scooter does not readily climb the incline, move off of the incline
and/or ask for assistance. Likewise, do not use the scooter on declines of a
degree which makes operation of the scooter difficult; if the scooter moves too
quickly on an incline, fully apply the brakes, move off of the decline, and/or ask
for assistance. eWheels recommends that you only use ramps which have a
roughened surface to prevent slipping. Never drive in a transverse direction
across an incline or turn sharply on an incline. Never drive in a reverse
direction down an incline. Because the capability of your scooter to climb an
incline or descend a decline depends on a number of factors, such as the
scooter’s specifications, your size and weight, the quality of the surface, and
your persona
l setup of the scooter, eWheels does not guarantee the scooter’s
safety on a specific angle of incline or decline. However, eWheels does not
recommend you use your scooter on inclines or declines greater than 10
degrees, while making no guarantees of performance and safety on angles less
than 10 degrees.
