Rental Guidelines
Your electric scooter
is a state-of-the-art device designed to increase your mobility and enhance

the safe operation of the vehicle. Here are some further points to consider:
- Always use
added caution when driving in a crowded area.
- Equipment must
not be used in wet or muddy areas.
- Equipment must
not be driven on sharp inclines or declines.
- Scooter and
Powerchair users must be 18 years or age or older.
