Safety warning and user guidance
General safety warnings | Kerb climbing |
Safety is important with any vehicle that is power driven. Below are some essential tips to safeguard your use. These are not conclusive and should be read in conjunction with the sections, which explain how to adjust, operate and maintain your vehicle.
Always ensure that your Scoota is switched off before attempting to mount or dismount.
Do not attempt to operate your Scoota whilst standing next to it.
Always ensure that you are able to operate all the controls from a seated position, that the rear view mirror (if fitted) is set correctly and that the seat is securely locked into place.
Do not hang anything from your scooter’s handle bars, wig wag levers or rear view mirror (e.g. handbag, shopping bag) as this may interfere with the safe operation of your scooter and could result in injury to yourself or others.
Attention: Switch on the scoota lights to make yourself visible when there are low levels of light , day or night.
Do not operate your Scoota whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Please observe all relevant rules and regulations pertaining to pedestrians at all times.

Always reduce your speed when turning corners, particularly when travelling downhill. Disregard of this advice could lead to your Scoota tipping over.
Do not attempt to mount or dismount kerbs in excess of 10cm (4").
Always mount and dismount kerbs with caution and directly facing the kerb.
Do not attempt to mount or dismount kerbs in reverse.
