8.0 Transport
8.1 Transportation in vehicles:
This scooter is not suitable to use as a seat in a vehicle.
Not crash tested
DANGER!
A scooter secured in a vehicle will not provide the equivalent
level of safety and security of a vehicle seating system. It is
always recommended that the user transfers to the vehicle
seating.
8.2 Using your scooter on the train:
If you wish to use your scooter on the train, we recommend
that you contact the train operator in advance when
planning your journey. Railway carriages have provision for a
“wheelchair” space where you can sit on your scooter during
the journey. Please note that the overall length of your scooter
may be greater than the available length of the “wheelchair”
space in the railway carriage.
When planning your journey, you should check with the train
operator that there will be suitable boarding access available
to allow you to access the railway carriage and the intended
“wheelchair” space on joining and leaving the train and there
is suitable access onto the platform. We recommend you check
with the train operator that ; the boarding access is suitable
for the combined mass of your scooter and the occupant; the
slope of the access is not greater than the maximum safe slope
of the scooter; any steps or risers are no greater than the
maximum height of the scooter obstacle climbing height; there
is adequate turning space within the access area to the train
and on the train.
Most train operators will provide assistance provided that
arrangements have been made in advance. We suggest you
have you Owner’s Manual ready when planning your journey
and contacted them.
8.3 Other Transport requirements:
The scooter may be transported by road, rail, sea or air as
luggage.
Before you travel, please contact the appropriate carrier
or travel operator. You may be asked to provide certain
information about the scooter such as the scooter mass and
overall dimensions. This information can be found in the
relevant model tables in section 12.0.
If the scooter is transported by air, the batteries may need to
be removed as the batteries supplied are not IATA approved
for air travel. Your dealer can assist in supplying batteries that
are IATA approved.
If transporting the scooter by road as luggage, it may need
to be secured to prevent unintended movement into other
vehicle passengers in the event of a sudden stop or placed in
a space reserved for luggage. Your scooter can be secured by
attaching suitable restraints to the front and rear bumpers as
shown on the figure below.
WARNING!
Do not sit in your scooter when it is transported as luggage.
