TECHNICAL DATA
Kilometric performance
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 re-
alistic under the following conditions:
– 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,
fi rm 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 traffi c)
– 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
permitted values for driving on gradi-
ents.
The system-related uphill driving ca-
pability is however much higher be-
cause this power must be available for
the safe crossing of obstacle.
!
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!
