CORNERING INFORMATION
Excessively high cornering speeds can result in tipping. Factors that affect the possibility
of tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you
are turning), uneven road surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low
traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from a grassy area to a paved area –
especially at high speed while turning), and abrupt changes of direction. High cornering
speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your
speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your Breeze S
from tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable centre of
gravity. When using your Breeze S at higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly
reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. Always exercise your common sense when
cornering.
BRAKING INFORMATION
Your Breeze S is equipped with two powerful braking systems:
 Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control
lever returns to the centre/stop position.
 Park Brake: Activates automatically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to a
near stop, or when power is removed from the system for any reason.
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
 Your Breeze S is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving
conditions, on dry, level surfaces of concrete, tarmac, or asphalt. However, we recognize
that there will be times when you will encounter other surfaces. For this reason, your
Breeze S is designed to perform well on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use
your Breeze S safely on lawns and in parks.
 Reduce your Breeze S speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
 Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
 Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
 If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid it.
PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS
WARNING! Do not operate your Breeze S on public streets or roadways.
It may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your Breeze S. Obey all
local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with
extreme caution.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or
drop-offs (curbs, porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not try to go up or down an obstacle that is too high.
WARNING! Do not try to go backward down any step, curb, or other
obstacle. This may cause the Breeze S to tip.
WARNING! Be sure your Breeze S is travelling perpendicular to any curb you may be
required to go up or down.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that is higher than 12 cm (5").
