These tests were conducted with the s
cooter’s seat in the highest position and adjusted backward on the
seat base to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your s
cooter’s ability to
travel up any incline is affected by your weight, your s
cooter’s speed, your angl
e of approach to the
incline, and your scooter
’s
setup.
WARNING!
Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this manual.
■
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 3. This shifts your centre of
gravity towards the front of the scooter for improved stability.
