Driving information
6.0 Information about safe Strider driving
Always carry out the safety information described in chapter 1.5 “Safety during driving“!
Driving the Strider is very simple and after a few practice sessions you will find it very easy.
The following information should help you to drive safely through traffic:
• always match your speed to the driving situation in which you find yourself.
• always reduce the speed when you are driving through:
- unclear areas
- narrow gaps
- tight curves
- inclines
- ramps
• take a trial run with the Strider in an area with no pedestrians, or in a closed-off area
• always steer the Strider using both hands on the handlebars
• always keep your feet in the foot area while driving the Strider
6.1 Driving up inclines and down slopes
The Strider can climb up inclines of up to 10° without danger.
Please note:
The maximum safe incline has been determined in accordance with the EN standards . The scooter is ab le, under the maxim um specified load, to start, brake and turn. It is possible to negotiate some steeper inclines however we do not advise you to do so . The overload protection device could trip due to a combination of, incline driving duration, steepness of the incline and load applied to the vehicle.
