TECHNICAL DATA
KILOMETRIC PERFORM-
ANCE
Kilometric performance depends to a
large extent on the following factors:
– battery condition,
– weight of the driver,
– driving speed,
– driving style,
– road surface condition,
– driving conditions,
– ambient temperature.
The nominal values given by us are
realistic under the following condi-
tions:
– Ambient temperature of 20 °C.
– 100 % rated battery capacity as per
the DIN standards.
– new condition of the batteries with
more than 5 charging cycles
– Norm weight of 75 kg.
– No repeated acceleration.
– Level, firm driving surface.
The kilometric performance is greatly
reduced by:
– frequent uphill driving,
– poor battery charge condition,
– low ambient temperature (e.g. in
winter)
– frequent acceleration and braking
(e.g. in city traffic)
– old, sulphated batteries.
In practical use, the kilometric per-
formance under ‘normal conditions’ is
then reduced to approx. 40 % of the
nominal value.
Hill climbing ability
Refer to the technical data for the per-
mitted values for driving on gradients.
The system determined climbing abil-
ity of the
SCOOTER
is however larger
since this capacity is to be provided
for safe overcoming of obstacles.
Attention:
The driving performance may ex-
ceed the safety limits.
•
Gradients in excess of the permit-
ted values (e.g. ramps) should only
be driven when the wheelchair is
empty!
