More Details

FRAME
This scooter has an epoxy coated steel frame, moulded plastic cowling and a slip resistant matting on the foot platform. Three sets of interchangeable colour panels are provided as standard with the scooter, and enable the user to select silver, red or blue cowling.

SEAT has a release lever located on the right side of the scooter underneath the seat which allows the seat to swivel. The seat and backrest are padded, with no padding on the arm rests. The arm rests are lift up and width adjustable.

STEERING COLUMN can be folded down for transportation and is controlled via foam covered handles.

FRONT & REAR WHEELS are 200mm (8") diameter, solid tyres.

BATTERY CHARGING is achieved by connecting the scooter to an off board battery charger, from a charger inlet located under a cover under the seat to a mains power point.

BATTERIES are two 12 volt, 12 Amp batteries. They are stored in a compartment under the seat.

FOOTREST is a flat platform between the steering column and battery compartment. Features a slip resistant covering.

CONTROLS feature a key for turning the scooter on and off, a speed lever that allows speed control, and a horn. A battery charge indicator is lit by an LED light and indicates the amount of proportional charge remaining in the batteries.

BRAKES are electromagnetic

FREEWHEELING
The scooter can be free wheeled by operating a lever located at the rear right hand corner of the base.

TRANSPORTING
The scooter dismantles into 5 parts for transport - seat, battery compartment, rear wheel base, chassis unit, and front basket.

Dismantling Instructions:
- Remove the basket by pulling up gently.
- Fold the seat backrest down and pull up on the seat lever. When the seat leer is up, pull straight up and the seat will lift off.

The space allowed on public transport for carrying mobility equipment is an area of 1300mm by 800mm.

State transit will only carry scooters with an unladen weight of less than 200 kg and which can be driven onto the bus, and manoeuvred to fit wholly within the designated wheelchair space under their own power. Any such scooters carried must also comply where relevant with the rules applying to wheelchairs.

Three wheeled mobility aids of any kind are unstable in normal bus operations and will not be carried because of the safety risk.

Licence & Insurance Requirements

In NSW, motorised wheelchairs that weigh less than 110 kg and cannot travel at more than 10 km/h do not have to be registered, provided they are being used by a person with mobility problems. A person driving a motorised wheelchair under these circumstances is defined as a pedestrian under the Australian Road Rules and is permitted to travel on a footpath or nature strip adjacent to the road.

Vehicles exempt from registration are covered by the nominal defendant scheme (administered by the Motor Accidents Authority) if they are at fault in an accident in NSW on a road or road related area and cause injury to another person. However, this cover is only valid in NSW.
