INCLINES
More and more modern buildings are designed with disability access in mind. Ramps have
specified percentage of inclination, designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps may have
turning switchbacks (180 degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on your
scooter.
Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other
incline, sit right back in your seat, brace your arms on the handlebars and your feet
on the floorboard.
Take a wide arc with your scooter's front wheels around tight corners, your rear
wheels will follow preventing you from cutting the corner short and bumping or
getting hung up on raised kerbs.
When descending an incline keep your speed adjustment set to the slowest speed
setting to ensure a safely controlled descent and driving in a forward direction
only. If your scooter descent is quicker than you anticipated allow the scooter to
completely stop, then progress at a slower speed setting.
When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving, if you must stop, start
up again slowly and then accelerate smoothly with caution. Avoid sudden stop starts,
lean forward towards your handlebars to increase stability and prevent rearward
tipping.
