Kilometric performance
Kilometric performance depends to a
large extent on the following factors:
– battery charging status
– weight of the user
– driving speed
– driving style
– road surface condition
– driving conditions
– ambient temperature.
The standard data which we have spec-
ified are realistic under the following
conditions:
– ambient temperature of 27°C
– 100% nominal battery capacity in
accordance with DIN standard
– new condition of the batteries with
more than 5 charging cycles
– straight-ahead motion with fully auto-
matic drive electronics (maximum
speed)
– nominal load of 75 kg
– smooth acceleration
– level road surface.
Kilometric performance is considerably
impaired by:
– frequent uphill travel
– low battery charging status
– low ambient temperature (e.g. in
winter)
– frequent acceleration and braking
(e.g. in city traffic)
– old, sulphated batteries
– unavoidable frequent steering ma-
noeuvres
– reduced speed (especially walking
speed).
In practice, the kilometric performance
specified under "Standard Conditions" is
reduced by approx. 80-40% of the
nominal value.
Hill climbing ability
Refer to the technical data for the per-
mitted values for driving on gradients.
The system-related uphill driving capa-
bility is however much higher because
this power must be available for the
safe crossing of obstacle.
– nominal load of 75 kg
– normal road surface.

Attention:
The driving performance characteris-
tics may exceed the safety limits.
Gradients in excess of the permitted
values (e.g. ramps) should only be
driven when the wheelchair is emp-
ty!
