Intended Purpose
Your Vita Lite is intended for outdoor use and can negotiate gradients up to 17%.
Pavement Use
The speed of your Vita Lite is dependent on the weight of the occupant, incline and the type of surface. Tested
with a weight of 18 stone (114.55kg) the Vita Lite had a speed of 7.5/8mph on the flat, on high speed setting. The
UK law limits the speed to 4mph for pavement use so make sure Low speed (4mph) is selected, and drive with
care and have consideration for pedestrians.
