Guidance for safe operation and use
Hill climbing
Your scooter is designed to travel
up or down most reasonable slopes
up to 14° (Photo 30), however both
hill climbing capability and distance
travelled between battery charges
will be adversely affected by such
things as:
1. The weight of the user.
2. Terrain (e.g., grass or gravel).
3. Steepness of hills.
4. Level of charge and the age of
the batteries.
5. Extremes of temperature.
6. Use and weight of accessories.
Transportation
Your scooter may be disassembled
quickly and simply for transportation
by car:
(i) Lift off the front basket.
(ii) Remove the seat, leaving the
seat stem in position.
(iii) Lower the tiller using the
adjustment lever, to its lowest
setting, (Photo 31).
(iv) Release the freewheel lever to
assist in manoeuvring if
necessary.
(v) Stow the scooter safely and
securely in the luggage
compartment of the vehicle,
(Photo 32).
Important: Remember to re-
engage the drive unit by
pushing the freewheel lever
down to stop the scooter from
moving. Always secure your
scooter before transportation.
