Ramps and Other Inclines
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe access.
Some ramps may have turning switchbacks that require you to have good cornering skills on your Victory XL.
n Take slow, wide swings with the front wheels around any tight corners. If you do that, the rear wheels will
follow a wide arc and will not cut the corner short, bump into, or get hung up on any railing corners.
n When driving down a ramp, keep the speed adjustment dial (see IV. “Your Victory XL”) set to the tortoise
(slowest speed setting) to ensure a safely controlled descent.
n Avoid sudden stops, starts, and turns. Reduce your speed when approaching a turn.
Maximum Recommended Incline
Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for Scooters. Figure 1 illustrates your
Victory XL’s maximum ability to climb an incline while carrying its maximum weight load.
Controlled tests show that, when you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 3. This shifts
the center of gravity of you and your Victory XL toward the front of the Scooter for improved stability.
WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this
manual.
