FIGURE 4. INCREASED STABILITY DRIVING POSITION
FIGURE 3. NORMAL DRIVING POSITION
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 3 and 4. This shifts the center of gravity of you
and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability.
WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this
manual.
CORNERING INFORMATION
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of
tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven road
surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing
from a grassy area to a paved area  especially at high speed while turning), and abrupt directional changes. High
cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over while cornering, reduce your speed and
steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your scooter from tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your scooter at higher
speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. To avoid personal
injury or property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.
