For Germany: You may not drive at above 6 kph on public highways. By the 6 km/h limited
versions of Forest, you do not require a driving licence and neither is vehicle insurance
necessary. However, we recommend that you take out voluntary third-party insurance.
However, for the 10 km/h versions you must have an insurance.
The electronics must be switched off immediately after use of the wheelchair. Use only the
supplied battery charger and no other charging equipment. We wish to point out that
electromagnetic sources (e.g. mobile phones, etc.) can cause interference and that the
wheelchair's electronics can also affect other electric appliances.
The electric wheelchair is suitable for re-use.
1.2 Technical specifications
Technical terms below are valid for the electric wheelchair in standard settings without seat
cushion and optimum environmental conditions. If accessories are used, the tabulated values
will change. Changes in outdoor temperatures, humidity, uphill's, downhill's, soils and battery
levels can reduce output.
