7. Other accessories 

 

7.1 Luggage Compartments 

 
The  optional  luggage  compartments  allow  additional  loading  of  the  vehicle  in  the  front.  They  are 
particularly suitable for items that are not used that often, e.g. B. Tools, spare jackets and spare parts. 
Loading the compartments further improves driving stability, as more weight is stored near the front 
axle. They can access the compartments while seated in the vehicle. However, if their arms are too 
short, they can reach into it from the side while standing next to the vehicle. You don't necessarily have 
to open the service hatch in the bow. Just try it while standing to the side of the vehicle. 
If you use third-party pedals with a higher Q-factor or shoes with side shoe trees, you may come into 
contact with the compartments. 
 

 
 7.2 Air-Suspension 

 
The optional air suspension allows the suspension to be adjusted via an auto valve. This allows you to 
adapt the suspension to larger luggage loads. 
 

7.3 Headrest Adapter 

 
With the headrest adapters, you can quickly adapt the vehicle to different driver sizes. Read how to 
use them in chapter 5.7. Here are the approximate sizes again: 
 

 

Persons from 145-165 cm choose the adapter small 

 

Persons from 165-180 cm choose the adapter medium 

 

People over 180 cm usually do not need an adapter at all. 

 

7.4 Armrests  

 
The armrests are a very valuable tool to drive comfortably and safely. You can adjust the supports to 
your exact size using the Velcro on the side. For the settings, please read chapter 5.8 
Try what suits you better: The armrests can support the elbow tips directly. If this causes tenderness 
and numbness, you can also position the crutches to support your upper arms (triceps). 
 

7.5 Hotspot safety Module 

 
The optional hotspot is an extension of the security features. The following aspects are included: 
 
The hotspot acts as additional rollover protection in the event of a sideways tipping over. 
It contains the lighting system and achieves better visibility in traffic due to its exposed high position. 
The high position of the headlight illuminates the road more effectively. 
The hotspot illuminates the front part of the vehicle at night and makes its contours more visible to 
other road users. 
Possible disadvantages: Some users do not get along with these effects (illumination of the vehicle) so 
well and driving in fog also causes slightly poorer visibility.
