2.2. DURING USE:
• The Batec must only be used to transport one person at a time.
• The Batec is only recommended for people with the physical and mental
state necessary to travel in situations with vehicle traffic.
• Avoid unnecessary risks like excess speed, fast turns and leaning to the
side. Also avoid travelling over objects that may cause you to brake sharply
or tip over.
• The safest way to drive the Batec is on level surfaces without obstacles.
Use ramps whenever possible. Always be extremely careful when crossing
the road.
• Use reflectors on your Batec and wheelchair or on your clothes to make you
more visible to drivers. In situations with reduced visibility, always use
lights.
• There is a risk of skidding on wet surfaces, gravel or irregular terrain,
reduce your speed and use extra caution. Don’t use the Batec on mud or
ice.
• Make sure your feet are properly positioned on the footrest of the
wheelchair and that the seatbelt is properly adjusted.
• We strongly recommend you wear helmet when travelling over 10 km/h.
• When you use your Batec, control your speed and only ride as fast as
appropriate for the given ground conditions. By maintaining a prudent
speed, you will avoid unnecessary risks. Don’t ride the Batec faster than
you would travel in a wheelchair alone.
• Maximum recommended speeds are:
o 6 km/h on the street, pavement and pedestrian areas.
o 12 km/h in cycle lanes.
