Figure 2A.  Increased Stability Driving Position

Figure 2. Normal Driving Position

When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the centre of gravity of

you and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability.

NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the

powered scooter may "rollback" approximately 30.5 cm (1 foot) before the brake engages.  If the throttle

control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered scooter may "rollback" approximately

one  meter (3 feet) before the brake engages..

BRAKING INFORMATION

Your scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems:

n

Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the centre/

stop position.

n

Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when

power is removed from the system for any reason.

WARNING!  Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this

manual.

CORNERING INFORMATION

Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of

tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven road

surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from

a grassy area to a paved area – especially at high speed while turning), and abrupt directional changes. High

cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and

steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your scooter from tipping.

WARNING!

 

 When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your scooter at higher speeds,

do not corner sharply. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. To avoid personal injury or

property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.
