are suitable, or wheelchairs with a light assist motor system.

Only wheelchairs with the 2 large wheels at the back, and with a wheel size 22”,

The PENDEL is designed for road traffic, a moped third-party insurance is

compulsory.

2.2 Safety and driving behaviour
Before you take delivery of your new ready-to-drive Pendel your dealer will have checked
all components himself and, if necessary, will have adjusted these. If it is the first time that
you are using a Pendel this will be somewhat uneasy.

2.3 Delivery

The PENDEL wheelchair scooter should be delivered completely, including:

 Battery charger
 Manual of the PENDEL
 Manual of the battery charger
 Manual of the mileage indicator

 Certificate of guarantee

When delivering the PENDEL, your distributor needs to adjust the following things:

 Height and distance of the handlebars.
 The fixation points, against which the wheelchair is secured, need to be

adjusted according to the size of your wheelchair.
(see 8. Adjusting the wheelchair securing system).

If required, the performances of the driving regulator can be adjusted, for example:

 Reducing the maximum speed
 Adjust the “turtle-speed”
 Adjust the reverse-speed

 Adjust the breaking efficiency of the motor

 Never get tempted into to much enthusiastic behavior on the roadway
or riding on and off pavements
 Your Pendel can sustain visible or invisible damage, which involves additional
risks.
