When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the center of gravity of you and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability.

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.

BRAKING INFORMATION

Your scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems:

νRegenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/stop position.

νDisc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when power is removed from the system for any reason.
