6.5.5.5 Load Compensation
Parameter Possible Values Default HHP Lite Std Adv
Load Compensation 0 - 225 mΩ See Parameter Variations
✓ ✓ ✓
Load Compensation automatically compensates for changes in motor speed when the
scooter drives over loads such as sidewalks, curbs or slopes.
Note
The Load Compensation parameter affects the performance of all other speed and acceleration parameters,
and it is important to set this parameter correctly before you program these parameters. If the Load
Compensation parameter is changed after the scooter has been set up, the complete speed/acceleration
programming and testing procedure must be repeated.
Set Load Compensation to the resistance of the motor that is installed on the scooter.

If the scooter gives poor performance on carpet or at low speeds, the most probable cause
is a Load Compensation value that is set too low.
Determining the correct motor resistance by looking at the scooter behaviour
Tools needed
1. A scooter with a RHINO2 controller fitted
2. A Hand Held Programmer (HHP) ora laptop
with the Wizard Programmer
3. A slope that you can drive up to
GBK51948 RHINO2
