Cornering; Braking; Driving Surfaces; Stationary Obstacles (Steps, Kerbs, Etc.) - Relync R1 Owner's Manual

SAFETY

Cornering

Using excessive speed when cornering can cause the scooter to become unstable and increase the
likelihood of tipping. If you are concerned that the scooter may be about to tip over, immediately reduce
speed and lessen the sharpness of the angle of the turn. Apart from excessive speed and the sharpness
of the angle of the turn, there are other causes of tipping when cornering which include uneven or
inclined roads, sudden changes of direction and passing from one sort of surface to another, i.e. a soft
surface such as grass onto a harder paved area.
WARNING! Speed should be reduced and a stable centre of gravity kept when cornering
to avoid the risk of tipping. Never corner at high speed or sharply.

Braking

·The Relync R1 features two highly effective braking systems:
·The regenerative brake employs power from the batteries to quickly slow down the vehicle when the
throttle lever is placed in the centre or stop position.
·The parking brake is automatically activated after the regenerative brake has slowed the vehicle to a
stop or when the power has been disconnected.

Driving Surfaces

When used on normal driving surfaces such as tarmac, concrete etc, the Relync R1 has been
engineered to offer maximum stability but its design has been further enhanced to provide similar
stability on certain other surfaces such as grass, packed gravel and soil so it can be safely used, for
example, on lawns.
·Speed should be reduced when driving on abnormal or uneven surfaces
·The scooter should not be driven through tall grass or other vegetation as there is a risk that this may
become entangled around the axle
·The scooter should not be driven on loose gravel or sand
·Do not drive on a surface if you are not fully confident about doing so.

Stationary obstacles (steps, kerbs, etc.)

WARNING! Never drive close too close to an unguarded stationary obstacle such as a
kerb, step or staircase.
WARNING! Do not try to ascend or descend a stationary obstacle that is higher than
20mm.
WARNING! To avoid the risk of tipping, never drive backwards down a kerb or step.
