The Wheeltech Travelease has been designed for a single occupant user mass of up to 90kg (14 stone) for the
steel model (MS001) and 115kg (18 stone) for the aluminium model (MS002). The Travelease has been
designed for users who experience difficulty or discomfort when walking for prolonged periods, but have the
use of both legs and the physical, visual and cognitive ability to operate the scooter safely.
The Travelease scooter is designed for use indoors and limited outdoor use during daylight (in a shopping
centre or precinct for example). The scooter can be used on pavements but must not be used on public
highways other than to cross the road. The Travelease is designed as a lightweight portable aid. Other electric
mobility scooters are available which have been designed specifically for the less able bodied user.

The Wheeltech Travelease must only be used by a single occupant of user mass up to 90kg (14 stone) for steel
Travelease and 115kg (18 stone) for Aluminium Travelease. The Travelease is only suitable for users who
experience difficulty or discomfort walking for prolonged periods, but have the use of both legs and the
physical, visual and cognitive ability to operate the scooter safely. Failure to comply with these safety guidelines
could result in injury
EMERGENCY BRAKING
To apply emergency braking whilst using the scooter release the grip on the paddle control and pull the hand
operated brake on the handlebar.
TURNING AND USING ON A GRADIENT GUIDELINES
Avoid sharp turns at high speed as this could result in the scooter tipping. This is especially relevant when
turning on a gradient.
The scooter has been designed to climb gradients up to a maximum of 7 degrees (1 in 8). However, other
factors such as the surface of the gradient or the attributes of the user can vary this figure. If you are in any doubt
about travelling up or down a gradient please find an alternative route. Do not attempt to turn the scooter
around whilst on a gradient. Always turn on flat and level ground.
GENERAL OPERATING SAFETY PROCEDURES
Make sure that the power is switched on and the parking brake is applied before mounting or dismounting
from the scooter. Be careful not to touch the wigwag paddle whilst mounting or dismounting the scooter. Once
you have dismounted switch the unit off and remove the key. Please also read the Handbrake section on page
6.
For your health and comfort, make sure that you adopt a comfortable posture and that you can operate the
controller unit with ease.
The scooter is not designed with lights and is not capable of using add-ons so the scooter cannot be used at
night. The Travelease can mount obstacles up to 30mm high. Do not mount higher obstacles than this. Be sure
to mount obstacles (such as kerbs) at a slow speed and head on (i.e. Not at an angle) to prevent injury or
damage.
