Do not ride your Mystere without fully reading this instruction manual first.
Do not exceed the maximum gradient/slope of 12°.
Do not carry passengers or exceed the maximum carrying weight (see Technical Specifications).
Do not get on or off your Mystere unless it is switched off.
Do not switch your Mystere on with the forward/reverse lever depressed.
Do not back your Mystere into uneven inclines or surfaces. Be cautious when traversing slopes.
Do not drive your Mystere in a confined space unless the speed adjustment is set to low.
Do not turn suddenly at full speed, especially on uneven or hilly ground. Failure to observe this may result in
tipping of the scooter.
Do not drive your Mystere unless the seat is locked into the driving position.
Do not drive your Mystere over deep, soft terrain (e.g. soft dirt, deep grass, loose gravel).
Do not operate your scooter when under the influence of alcohol or certain drugs, which may impair your
safety.
Do not climb or descend curbs that exceed the Mystere’s capability.
Do not turn when negotiating curbs. Always approach curbs at low speed and straight.
Always stop fully before changing direction (forward or reverse).
Always keep your feet on the vehicle when driving.
Always proceed carefully while riding your scooter, especially as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or
hill.
Always proceed carefully while riding on uneven surfaces.
Do not sit on your Mystere while being transported in a moving vehicle. Always restrain the scooter so that
it cannot move in the vehicle and transfer yourself to a vehicle seat.
Do not drive your Mystere through deep water or clean with a high pressure hose.
Never attempt to freewheel down a slope as all braking will be lost.
A seat belt is provided for your safety and it is advisable to use it at all times.
Intended Purpose
The Mystere is intended for outdoor use on gradients up to 12
0
. It is suitable to be used over uneven ground
and will negotiate obstacles up to 80mm high but care must be taken when negotiating such conditions. It is
unsuitable to traverse surfaces that have rutted (grooves) wider than 175mm.
Pavement Use
The speed
of the Mystere is dependant on the weight of the occupant, incline and the type of surface. Tested
with a weight of 18 stone (114.55kg) the Mystere had a speed of 7.5/8mph on the flat, on high speed setting.
When used on the pavement, the UK law limits the speed to 4mph. For pavement use make sure 4mph is
selected.
Prepare the Mystere for First Use
If you receive your Mystere packaged and it has to be assembled see the section covering Assembly. The
batteries will require charging - refer to Charging the Mystere for details.
