Intended use of the vehicle
The 309 and 329 LE 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.
The 309 is lighter and with a better turning radius, but is limited to 6 mph. The 329 LE is a medium range 8
mph scooter which is suited for travel on public roads when this is required. When on pavements both models
should be used in the Lo setting and should not exceed 4 m.p.h. Both scooters have lighting to enable them to
operate in the dark.
The scooters are intended for use on pavements and roads and other reasonably paved areas. They can
mount kerbs and obstacles up to that specified in the Technical Specification Sheet and, with careful driving,
can tackle moderately difficult terrain, but high kerbs should be avoided.
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 329LE scooter has larger wheels to enable it to negotiate uneven surfaces, but rutted or soft, slippery
grassy areas should always be avoided.
