Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the SHOPRIDER Mikra scooter. This scooter
incorporates the latest innovative designs. The SHOPRIDER Mikra can be used in
confined spaces both indoors and out. A direct drive rear transaxle and
electromagnetic brake give a safe and efficient ride.

Intended Use

The SHOPRIDER Mikra is intended for indoor or outdoor use in pedestrian areas by a
single individual with limited mobility up to a maximum weight of 113kg (18st). It is
intended to be used by those suffering from some disability or impairment which
prevents a normal level of personal mobility.
The acute manoeuvrability prohibits the use by persons who are severely physically
impaired or those who have balance difficulties. Your assessor / healthcare professional
will determine the suitability of the scooter for each individuals’ intended use.

Note: Persons with lower body amputations should not use this device unless evaluated
with artificial limbs fitted, as stability may be compromised due to an irregular centre of
gravity.

Adjustments

Tiller Angle Adjustment

At the bottom of the tiller stem is the angle adjustment knob. Rotate the hand knob
anticlockwise to loosen and adjust to the required angle. Re-tighten the hand knob fully
before use. DO NOT fully undo the hand knob as the internal components may become

detached from the assembly.

Seat Swivel

The seat has a lockable swivel base to allow easier transfers. Simply lift the end of the
lever and rotate the seat at the same time. Releasing the lever will allow the seat to lock
in position. The seat locks in 45-degree intervals. Always ensure the seat is in a locked
position before mounting or dis-mounting the scooter. The seat should always be locked
facing forward whilst driving.
