2.9. Notes on driving performance

The range of the Via is approx. 15 km. The achievable range depends
on different factors:
• Ground properties
• Way of driving
• Battery condition and charge
• Load
• Ambient temperature
Please note that the range stated by us was calculated under test
conditions:
• Batteries which are as new and fully charged
• Ambient temperature of 21 °C
• max. payload of 120 kg
• level, firm ground
• constant driving speed
The following factors affect the driving performance and will thereby
possibly reduce the range by up to 50%:
• poor battery charge level
• low ambient temperature (below 10 °C)
• frequent starting and braking
• electromagnetic fields (see Chapter 2.2)
Never use your foldable power wheelchair with
empty or almost empty batteries. You may endanger
yourself and others by stopping unexpectedly.
