4.6 Control through tight spots

As you use your scooter to greatly increase your mobility, you will undoubtedly
encounter some obstacles that will require practice to manoeuvre smoothly and safely.
Below are some common obstacles that you may meet during the daily use of your
scooter. Listed with those obstacles are some driving tips that should help you conquer
those obstacles. Learn and follow those tips, and with surprising ease you will soon be
in control of your scooter as you manoeuvre it through doors, up and down ramps, up
and over curbs, through grass and gravel, and up and down inclines.
Ramps
When proceeding up any ramp, curb, or incline:
Lean forward in your seat to move your centre of gravity forward for maximum

stability and safety.
If the ramp has a switchback, good cornering ability is required:


corners of the ramp.
Doing this will allow your scooter's back wheels to follow a wide arc around the

corner, staying clear of obstacles.
