Safety warning and user guidance
General safety warnings
Safety is important with any vehicle that is
power driven. Below are some essential
tips to safeguard your use. These are not
conclusive and should be read in
conjunction with the sections, which
explain how to adjust, operate and
maintain your vehicle.
Always ensure that your Scoota is switched
off before attempting to mount or dismount.
Do not attempt to operate your Scoota
whilst standing next to it.
Always ensure that you are able to
operate all the controls from a seated
position, that the rear view mirror (if fitted)
is set correctly and that the seat is
securely locked into place.
Do not hang anything from your scooter’s
handle bars, wig wag levers or rear view
mirror (e.g. handbag, shopping bag) as
this may interfere with the safe operation
of your scooter and could result in injury
to yourself or others.
Attention: Switch on the scoota lights
to make yourself visible when there are
low levels of light , day or night.
Do not operate your Scoota whilst under
the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Please observe all relevant rules and
regulations pertaining to pedestrians at
all times.
Turning corners
Always reduce your speed when
turning corners, particularly when
travelling downhill. Disregard of
this advice could lead to your
Scoota tipping over.
Kerb climbing
Do not attempt to mount or dismount
kerbs in excess of 10cm (4").
Always mount and dismount kerbs
with caution and directly facing the

Where possible always travel up
or down hills or ramps directly
facing the slope of the hill.
