4.3.3 Slopes
• Maximum slope which can safely be driven with maximum weight
according to ISO 7176-2 is 10° at 159 kg.
• Slopes with an angle greater than 10° may not be taken.
• Avoid sudden and jolting movements, such as sudden braking, to avoid
the possibility of the scooter becoming unstable.
• Do not brake too hard when moving around corners.
• Avoid changing directions or turning around on a slope.
• Do not turn on slopes steeper than 10°.
Driving up a slope
•
Driving up a slope is done in the
same way as driving in forward
direction.
• Lean slightly forward with
the upper part of your
body, while driving up a
slope. This will provide the
scooter with more
stability.
• Drive up a slope at half
speed.
Drive at a constant speed.
• If you notice a strong decrease in speed when driving on a slope,
choose a less steep route, to avoid the scooter from getting
overheated.
• If you drive on a slope too long, this may result in overheating of
the electric motor.
• If you want to drive up a steep slope and the speed of your
scooter decreases drastically, you should find an easier route.
Remarks:
Whenever possible, choose a road that is not so steep.
Driving down a slope
•
If you need to drive down a slope, drive at the lowest possible speed and
with the utmost control.
• Turn the speed control fully to the left (lowest speed) before
driving down a slope.
• Move the upper part of your body slightly backward and always
brake slowly. If you brake fast, you may cause the scooter to tip
over forward.
