Situations that are not Suited for Track Mode

Danger of toppling over backwards when descending thresholds

The center of gravity of the device is relatively far back in track mode. For this reason, you should never descend a threshold backwards in track mode. Many thresholds begin with an initial rise and then drop down again after a very short distance (e.g. door thresholds). Never drive over them backwards. There is a risk of tipping backward.

Unsuitable situations for track mode

(a) Elevated thresholds backwards

(b) Going down steps backwards
