16) Scooters on hills
Your scooter is rated to go up and down hills of a
maximum grade of 10% (1 in 10).
Please be aware that going up or down hills of a
greater grade may cause undue wear and tear on
your scooter.
When travelling uphill the scooter will
automatically increase the revs and decrease the
speed, it will find the right loading on the belt
drive to gain the maximum speed possible on
any given grade.
When travelling downhill try to pulse the brakes
if possible, if they are held on at a constant
pressure for a prolonged period of time you may
experience brake fade. Try to limit speed build up
when travelling downhill. The brakes are
designed to slow the scooter down from 50kmph.
If
your
speed
becomes
excessive
the
performance of the brakes may be affected and
your safety will be compromised.
