Going up and down inclines
It is possible you have to go up or down an incline with your scooter. In this manual we describe how you can do
this independently.
4.2.1
Going up an incline
When you want to go up an incline, always do so by going in a forwards direction, and perpendicular to the slope
or ramp. Make sure to keep in control when going up the incline. This means not going up in the slowest speed
setting, but with controlled average speed. Keep the scooter driving when going up an incline. Should you stop on
an incline, restart and increase speed slowly. When you stop and then restart, it is possible that the scooter first
moves backward a little bit, before continuing in a forward direction.
The anti-tip wheels that are always fitted to the scooter, provide extra safety when going up an incline. Additionally,
it is important to not carry any extra weight like bags on your scooter. This keeps the center of gravity on the back
of the scooter. Do not get on or off the scooter while on an incline. Do not attempt to drive across a sloping surface
greater than 3°, this may cause risk of the scooter tipping over. Never go backwards down or up an incline. Do not
attempt to go up an incline greater than 10°.
Tip
Make sure you inspect the incline before negotiating. That way you will know what to expect and you can safely go
upwards or downwards.
