2.7.5 Backward movement

L
WARNING:
Control your scooter - Accustom yourself with the driving behavior of your
scooter.
L
WARNING:
Control your speed - Always go backward in the lowest speed possible.
L
WARNING:
Risk of collision - Always look to the back when you go backward.
Rearward driving requires increased concentration and care (LEFT HAND ACTION). This explains
why we have greatly reduced the speed of rearward movement in comparison with forward driving.
But we still recommend that you put the speed lever on minimum when you drive backward.
Do not forget that the steering direction with rearward driving is the opposite of when you go forward,
and that your scooter will turn directly in the required direction.

2.7.6 Going uphill

L
WARNING:
Control your scooter - Accustom yourself with the driving behavior of your
scooter.
L
WARNING:
Control your scooter - Never put your scooter in neutral on slopes.
L
WARNING:
Control your speed - Moving on slopes as fast as possible.
L
WARNING:
Risk of tipping over - Do not exceed the maximum gradient of static
stability uphill (see paragraph "Technical specifications").
L
WARNING:
Never reverse going uphill.
Sitting position, going uphill
•
Adjust your seat depth and backrest angle, in order to sit in most front position, see section
§3.4 and §3.5 for adjustment.
•
Always lean forward when climbing a steep gradient.
Always approach slopes directly from the front and, to avoid tipping over, see that all four wheels stay
in contact with the ground at all times (ramps, driveways, etc.). Your scooter is powered through a
differential. Both drive wheels should therefore stay in contact with the ground at all times. Should one
of the drive wheels no longer be in contact with the ground, a safety device will cut the transmission of
energy to the wheels, bringing the scooter to a halt.
If you come to a stop on a slope by letting go of the accelerator, the engine break will prevent your
scooter from rolling backward. As soon as the accelerator returns to zero position, the engine break is
activated.
To resume your uphill drive, push the accelerator throttle open fully to ensure the release of a
sufficient amount of power. This will allow your scooter to slowly ascend the slope.
If your scooter is unable to drive up, turn the speed control up and try again.
When driving on a gradient, the battery indicator light might move up and down. This is a normal
phenomenon so please do not worry.

2.7.7 Going downhill

L
WARNING:
Control your scooter - Accustom yourself with the driving behavior of your
scooter.
L
WARNING:
Control your scooter - Never put your scooter in neutral on slopes.
L
WARNING:
Control your speed - Moving on slopes as slow as possible.
L

L
WARNING:
Risk of tipping over - Do not exceed the maximum gradient of static
stability downhill (see paragraph "Technical specifications").
