Guidance for safe operation and use

Hill climbing

Your Scoota is designed to travel up or down most reasonable slopes up to 14° (1 in 4) (Fig. 15), however both hill climbing capability and distance travelled between battery charges will be adversely affected by such things as:

1.The weight of the user.

2.Terrain (e.g, grass or gravel).

3.Steepness of hills

4.Level of charge and the age of the batteries.

5.Extremes of temperature.

6.Use and weight of accessories.

Transportation

Your Scoota may be disassembled quickly and simply for transportation by car. Alternatively, if you wish to use a ramp to load your Scoota into the back of a car then:

(i)Remove the seat, leaving the seat stem in position.

(ii)Lower the tiller using the adjustment lever, to its lowest

setting. (Fig. 16).

(iii)Select the minimum speed setting, and using extreme care stand alongside the Scoota drive it forward up the ramp, switch the Scoota off, release the freewheel lever at the rear of the Scoota and push the Scoota fully into the car (Fig. 17).

Important: Remember to re- engage the drive unit by pushing the freewheel lever upwards to stop the Scoota from moving. Always secure your Scoota before transportation.
