6 Safety Requirements
6.1 Driving Surface and Tips
The Solax Travel scooter range has been designed to be used on paved surfaces, such as carpet, well maintained
footpath, shopping centers etc. However, it may also be used on other surfaces, such as grass or walkways in parks
etc. However, there are some things that need to be considered to ensure a safe and comfortable ride.
• Condition of surface – ensure the surface you are driving on is not too soft to ensure the wheels will not
sink into the surface and get stuck. Try to avoid loose gravel and sandstone.
• Comfort – while the Solax Charge has an adjustable rear suspension to offer higher comfort, it has smaller
solid tires, which will not absorb impact the same way as larger more rugged scooters.
• Balance and Safety – Ensure you do not exceed maximum slope allowances and keep an eye out for
potential hazards and obstacles. The scooter can handle obstacles of a certain size, but it is best to reduce
the speed when tackling these.
• Cleaning and Maintenance – Ensure to thoroughly “brush” down your scooter (including under the base)
after use on unsealed roads and grass. This will ensure that all dirt particles are removed and will not get
“stuck” in the folding mechanism
• Your ability – ensure you are feeling well and feel physically fit to operate your Solax Charge
Please note: You should not drive your scooter if you cannot see the condition of the road ahead of you.
