2.25 Inhibit 1 Speed Limit Value
If the Inhibit Speed is greater than 0 then the controller will not enter an inhibit state. Chapter 2
section 6.1.2.
2.26 Position
Under strenuous driving conditions it is possible for metal sections of the controller’s case to
exceed 41°C (106 °F) in temperature. Under such conditions, the scooter manufacturer should
ensure that either the user cannot touch these surfaces, or that the user is warned not to touch
these surfaces. While 41°C (106 °F) is very close to normal body temperature, prolonged contact
with surfaces above 41°C (106 °F) can result in burns to the skin. PGDT accepts no liability for
losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition. Chapter 2 section 8.1.4 &
8.2.4
