Going down an incline
When you want to go down an incline, always do so by going in a forwards direction. Additionally, you should always
go down in a straight line. To keep control of your scooter it is important to not go down too fast. You can control
your speed by the amount of tension you put on the levers.
4.3
Steering
The most important action on a scooter is steering. Below is described how to best do this in different situations.
You should always keep both hands on the handlebar to steer left or right. It is important to not assume a driving
posture with straight arms, but it is better to slightly bend your arms. This provides more driving comfort. When you
are about to take a turn, always decrease your speed. This prevents the risk of falling over with your scooter.
4.3.1 Steering in different situations
Your scooter is developed to increase yout mobility. When driving, you will encounter different situations. To be able
to steer well in these situations, we have described a few situations and how to best handle them. By following the
steps below, you prevent dangerous situations from occurring.
Steering in small spaces
•
Turn down to the lowest setting;
•
Steer in the desired direction;
•
Slowly pull the throttle lever.
Steering backwards
•
Turn down to the lowest speed setting;
•
Pull the left throttle lever;
•
Turn the handlebar to the left to go left. When you want to go right, turn it to the right;
•
Make sure there are no obstacles behind the scooter when driving in reverse.
If mirrors are present, keep an eye on them when driving backwards.
Warning
Never go up or down an incline that is covered with snow, ice, recently mowed or wet grass, leaves or other possibly
dangerous material.
Warning
If your scooter starts going faster than you want to when going down an incline, slowly release the gas lever. By
feeding less power the scooter will automatically brake, causing the scooter to slow down. When you feel you have
regained control of the scooter, keep the lever in this position.
