Operating your scooter

WARNING
• Do NOT drive on slopes, obstacles, steps or kerbs larger than the size described in the
technical specifications in chapter 6.
• Take the local road traffic law into consideration; it may differ per country.
• Do not adjust the speed while you are driving.
• Take the weather conditions into consideration. Avoid driving by moist weather, extreme heat,
snow, black ice, freezing temperatures; see technical specifications in chapter 6.
• Since your scooter is not equipped with lighting, it is not suitable to drive on public roads at
poor visibility (darkness, mist, twilight). Make sure that you are well visible, also during daylight
by using fluorescent clothing and/or by using own lighting at the front and rear side of the
scooter.
• To prevent tipping over, try to drive with a large turning radius at corners and curves. Do not
cut corners and don't drive with sharp bends. Try to drive straight in small passages to prevent
getting entrapped.
• Do not lean too far to the left/right/front/back of the scooter to prevent tipping over. Please pay
specially attention when you are negotiating slopes and obstacles.
