Should the battery run out before you get home, there is a ‘free wheel’ mode that will allow
someone to push your scooter home. This is operated via the parking brake release. See the
instructions label at rear of your scooter.
Care! Warning
* The Minimo Autofold will automatically slow down when turning corners. However, you
should ensure you take extra care when turning, especially when changing direction from
moving forward in a straight line.
Driving inside shops and buildings
When inside it is your responsibility to drive slowly and safely and not damage your
surroundings or hurt other people.
Using the footpath – Just because you are on the footpath or in a pedestrian precinct, it does
not make you a pedestrian. If you are on a scooter you are no longer a pedestrian.
In a crowded precinct, market area, or footpath – It is your responsibility to ensure you do not
run into anyone or do any harm with your scooter. While many people will make way for you,
you cannot expect everyone to do so. Some will appear to not even realize you are there.
They will climb round and even over your vehicle rather than allow you room to move. Also be
very aware of people’s feet. As per the Highway Code, you don’t hold any right of way over
pedestrians.
Watch out for:
* Children – They may well run in front of you without warning. You may only be moving
very slowly, but you could still injure a child.
* Elderly people – They may be unable to quickly move aside to let you pass. Give way
to them.
* Disabled people on foot – they too may be unable to move aside for you.
* People with visual problems or impaired hearing – Give them space and time.
* Other scooter users – You may be doing all the right things. This does not guarantee
they will do likewise
Driving on the road
Your scooter is a class 2 mobility scooter and therefore it is not road legal.
