Driving The Scooter On Ramps; Driving The Scooter Over Steps - Vermeiren Venus 3 - 4 Mode D'emploi

Always approach downhill slopes directly from the front. Slantwise approaches can lead to some of
the wheels no longer staying in contact with the ground (danger of tipping over). If one of the back
wheels fails to make contact, the transmission of power will be cut and the scooter come to a
standstill.
The weight of the scooter will increase your downhill speed. Turn the speed control down and adjust
your speed to the conditions.
Avoid sharp bends on downhill slopes. The weight of your scooter could cause your scooter to lift up
on one side or even fall over around bends.
