Intended use of the vehicle
The Rascal Frontier and Pioneer scooters are designed for use by adults with a disability (up to the maximum
recommended weight) who require a robust, comfortable scooter that is ideal for shopping and other visits.
Both models of scooter have a maximum speed capability of 8 MPH; the Frontier is of lighter construction
featuring medium range and optimal turning circle; the Pioneer is a medium to long range vehicle with an
enhanced weight capacity. Both vehicles feature lighting for use in the dark. When driving on pavements or
other off-road public areas, theses scooters may only be used at a legal maximum speed limit of 4MPH within
the UK. Use the half speed switch to ensure this limit is not exceeded.
The scooters are intended for use on pavements, roads and other smooth hard surfaces. Both models can mount
obstacles to a maximum height as shown in the Technical Specification section of this manual and, with careful
driving, can tackle moderately difficult terrain, but high kerbs should be avoided when driving on pavements.
Users could endanger themselves and others if they are not capable of driving this scooter safely. Dealers will
advise on the most suitable vehicle from the Electric Mobility range, but it is up to users to ensure that they
have the manual dexterity to drive the vehicle, adequate sight and hearing to perceive danger in time, and can
at all times operate the scooter safely in the expected conditions. If in doubt we suggest you consult a
healthcare professional or your nearest dealer for advice on the most suitable scooter for your particular
condition. Users should also regularly assess their ability to operate their vehicle safely.
The Rascal Pioneer scooter has larger wheels to enable it to negotiate uneven surfaces, but rutted or soft,
slippery grassy areas should always be avoided.
