The Rascal Vista series of scooters are designed for 
use by adults with a disability (up to the maximum  
recommended weight (see Technical Specification 
sheet) who require a robust daily use scooter that is 
ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. 

These scooters are intended for use both outdoors 
and indoors on hard /smooth surfaces. Kerbs 
should be avoided, but the scooters can mount 
kerbs and small obstacles up to that specified in the 
Technical Specification sheet. 

Users could endanger themselves and others if 
they are not capable of driving their scooter safely. 
Dealers will advise on the most suitable vehicle from 
the Electric Mobility range, but it is up to users to 
ensure that  they have the manual dexterity to drive 
the vehicle, adequate sight and hearing to per-
ceive danger in time, and can at all times operate 
the scooter safely in the expected conditions.  If in 
doubt we suggest you consult a healthcare  
professional and your nearest dealer for advice on 
the most suitable scooter for your particular  
condition. Users should also regularly assess their 
ability to operate their vehicle safely.

used on potholed, rutted or slippery surfaces such 
as grass.

important safety notices. They are 
clearly marked with the sign (left)
