BRAKING
Your Luggie scooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems:
1. Regenerative: This uses the electricity generated in your Luggie drive motor to
rapidly slow your scooter when the wig-wag lever is returned to the stop position.
2. Electric/Mechanical Disc Brake: This activates mechanically after the regenerative
brake slows your scooter to a near stop, or when power is removed from the drive
system. Brake engagement is far more abrupt at higher speeds. It is important that
you anticipate when the brakes will engage and that you are braced for the
resulting deceleration.
Warning :
Your Scooter can decelerate very quickly. Do not decelerate or turn
abruptly when travelling at high speed unless absolutely necessary. Always grip
the steering handlebars tightly and position your feet firmly on the floor board of the
scooter. Operators who cannot grip the handlebars tightly and/or place their feet
firmly against the floorboard should avoid traveling at high speed. Failure to observe
this warning could result in serious personal injury and property damage. Always
brace yourself firmly when decelerating your Luggie scooter.
Caution :
Never drive down slopes at full speed. Always adjust your speed to the
driving condition and allow for gradual descents on inclines no more than six degrees.
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your Luggie Scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving
conditions i.e. dry, level surfaces composed of concrete or asphalt. There will be
times when you will encounter other surfaces such as packed soil, grass and gravel.
These surfaces may not be sound and fail to give good traction, caution should be
considered before driving on these types of surface to prevent stability problems
resulting in injury or damage to you and your scooter. Always reduce your scooters
speed when driving on uneven terrain or soft surfaces by turning the speed control
knob (located on the left side of the top console) away from you while seated (toward
the turtle mode).
Caution :
Avoid driving in long and unsafe grass that can become tangles in the
gears of your scooter.
Caution :
Avoid snow. This can quickly build up around your wheels.
Caution :
Avoid loosely packed sand and gravel. If you feel unsure about a
driving surface, please avoid that surface. Your scooter is a motorized device. Use
your good judgment when traveling to avoid injury and damage to yourself, the
scooter and properties of others.
STREET AND ROADWAY DRIVING
Warning :
Your Luggie scooter has not been designed for operation on public
streets and roads such as pavements and traffic free shopping areas.Your Luggie
must be driven with care and compliance with Highway Code. Always obey all local
pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic before proceeding with
extreme caution.
