TURNS
Therefore, it is essential to slow down to a reasonably slow speed before initiating a
turn. Use extreme caution when turning on slanted or uneven surfaces. Occasionally
you may find yourself negotiating a curve or corner too fast and the inner rear
wheel starts to lift off the ground. If this happens, immediately reduce your speed,
lessen the steering angle and shift your upper body toward the wheel that is lifting
off the ground.
DECLINES
Incline conditions require special attention to avoid mishaps. The SNAPnGO is not
designed to go up steep or long inclines. Be aware that not all ramps are constructed
according to government standards. The government standard for wheelchair
ramps is 1 inch (2.5cm) rise per foot (30cm) (5º incline).
WARNING:
standards.
Tips for driving the SNAPnGO on inclines and declines
Never travel up or down on an incline that is potentially hazardous such as
one that is wet, icy, slippery, has loose gravel, etc.
Always start an incline at the base of the hill and not at an angle.
Shift your upper body towards the handlebars to shift weight to the front
wheel.
Set the speed setting to 3 to give maximum torque. Slowly twist the throttle to
move the scooter forward. Once reaching top, switch back to speed setting 1.
