good traction, caution should be considered before driving
on this type of surface to prevent stability problems resulting
in injury or Damage to your Scooter.
Reduce your Scooters speed when driving on uneven
terrain or soft surfaces.
Avoid long and unsafe grass that can become tangles in
the running gear or may hide debris and holes.
Avoid snow, this can quickly build up around your wheels.
Avoid loosely packed sand and gravel.
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, please
anticipate and avoid that surface.
Your Luggie Scooter has not been designed for
operation on public streets and roads. It is designed for
operation on pedestrian pavements and traffic free shopping
areas.
Your Luggie Scooter must be driven with due care and
compliance with the Road Traffic Acts and conditions of
the Highway Code. Always obey all local pedestrian traffic
rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed
with extreme caution. Note: Always wear light or illuminating
clothing when driving your Scooter. Be aware that it may be
difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your
Scooter. Only drive your Scooter on the road when a public
pavement is not available (i.e. in the countryside) or when
crossing the roadway from one pavement to another.
Although it is not a legal requirement for accident insurance
cover (third party), it is a sensible precaution. Your Luggie
Authorised Agent will be able to give you details of specialist
insurance companies or you own insurance company will be
able to advise you.
Warning :
Never drive down slopes at full speed, always adjust your
speed to the driving condition and allow for gradual descents
on inclines.
Warning :
Your Scooter can decelerate very quickly. Do not
decelerate or turn abruptly when travelling at high speed
unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary to decelerate
or turn abruptly when driving at high speed, brace yourself by
Gripping the steering handlebar tightly and positioning your
feet firmly on the floorboard. Users who cannot grip the
handlebar tightly and/or place their feet firmly against the
footboard should avoid deceleration from or turning abruptly
at high speed, and therefore should avoid travelling at high
speed. Failure to observe this warning could result in serious
personal injury and property damage. Always brace yourself
firmly when decelerating your Luggie Scooter.
Your Luggie Scooter is designed to provide optimum stability
under normal driving conditions i.e. dry, level surfaces
composed of concrete or asphalt. However Luggie recognizes
that there will be times when you will encounter other
surfaces such as packed soil, grass and gravel. These surfaces
may not be sound and fail to give
