Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of Shoprider® all weather scooter. This
scooter incorporates comfort and style with the latest in technology. The
unique weatherproof canopy enables the user to be fully independent all year
round. It is also complemented with a full light set that includes front and rear
lights, indicators and hazard warning lights enabling it to be used on public
roads.

Intended Use

Your scooter was carefully designed for persons with limited mobility. It is for
predominantly outdoor use by a single occupant up to a maximum weight of
160kg / 25st.

The intended user should possess the necessary physical, visual and
cognitive skills to operate the scooter safely. If you have any doubt, please
consult your dealer / prescriber.

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.

The scooter is classified as an invalid carriage and is not legally defined as a
motor vehicle, and therefore the user is not required to possess a driving
license. It is exempt from MOT certification.

An invalid can only be used by a person suffering from some physical defect
or physical disability aged 16 or over, or by an able bodied person who is
demonstrating a vehicle before sale, training a disabled user or taking the
vehicle to or from a place for maintenance or repair.

An invalid carriage can be used on public roads, but not on motorways, cycle
lanes or bus lanes. When used on pavements or in pedestrian areas the
scooter MUST be switched to its lower speed limit (see page 6). It is not
recommended that the scooter is used on a dual carriageway, but if it is
necessary an amber coloured flashing beacon must be used to warn other
road users of your presence.

It is important that the user reads and understands the safety advice given
within this manual before attempting to operate the product to avoid possible
injury to the user or bystanders and avoid damage to the scooter or
surrounding property.
