Introduction
Congratulations on your new Mini Crosser M-MaxX electric mobility
scooter.
You have now taken possession of an electric mobility scooter
developed for outdoor driving by active users. It is what is
called a Class C vehicle in accordance with the European
classification of electric scooters.
For optimum enjoyment of this vehicle - and to avoid breakdowns
and accidents - we recommend that you read this User Manual
carefully. As a new user, you should pay particular attention to
the section entitled “Driving the Mini Crosser M-MaxX”.
The Mini Crosser M-MaxX is designed for safe travel for at least
10 years, up to a max. of 5,000 hours, provided it is serviced and
safety-checked every year, corresponding to 500 hours of operation.
The service must be carried out by an authorised workshop.
IMPORTANT! For safety reasons it is of the utmost importance
that service and safety check intervals are complied with, as
this minimises the risk of brake failure and short-circuits in the
wiring, which could generate heat and cause a fire.
We offer a wide range of accessories for the Mini Crosser
M-MaxX that can make everyday life easier for you. You are
always welcome to contact us for further information on special
accessories and adaptations.
Medema Production A/S is not responsible for any damage or injuries
caused by inappropriate or unsafe use of the Mini Crosser M-MaxX.

Designation Description
Key switch To start the vehicle:
Turn the key to driving position (1) When the Mini Crosser
is turned on, the control system performs a safety check of
the electrical system. The check lasts half a second. If the
accelerator is operated during this time, the Mini Crosser will not
be able to move until you have turned the key to 0 and back to 1.
Speed selector The tortoise in minimum position indicates the lowest speed
range. 0-6 km/h
The hare in maximum position indicates the highest speed
range. Up to 11,5 km/h
Battery indicator Lights up when the key is turned. After approximately 1
second, indicates the batteries’ charge level. Provides a more
accurate indication after a few minutes driving. This is not an
exact measurement and you must therefore build up some
experience with it. In the same way as the petrol gauge on a
car.
When the red light is farthest from “1”, there is plenty of power
in the batteries. When the red light is farthest from “0” and
flashing, it is close to being completely discharged.
Accelerator
(See picture
below)
Activate the arm at the front slowly and the Mini Crosser will
start to move forwards. The more the arm is pressed, the faster
the Mini Crosser will move. When the arm is released, it will flip
back to starting position of its own accord and the Mini Crosser
will stop. Activating the rear arm will cause the Mini Crosser to
reverse. The magnetic brake on the rear wheels will engage
when the scooter is stationary and is equivalent to the parking
brake on a car. The accelerator can also be used to control
speed downhill. In this case the motor will act as a brake.
Light switch Turns on the front and rear lights. The key switch must be in
position 1 (driving position).
Hazard warning
lights Turns on all the indicator lights at once. Also works when the key is removed or turned to position 0 (stop position).
Indicator switch
Left arrow: indicator, left-hand side. Right arrow: indicator, right-
hand side. Activate the same switch to turn the indicators off.
Horn Powerful electric horn. Press the horn switch to activate.
Charging socket Turn off the key switch during charging. Please note that it is
not possible to drive the scooter while the batteries are char-
ging. See also the section entitled “Batteries and charging”.
High/low switch Switch between high and low max speed.

Seat rotation
Pull the release lever back. The seat can be rotated 90° to
either side. When the lever is released, it engages with the seat
and holds it in place at 45° intervals.
Other seats that can be supplied for the Mini Crosser work on
similar principles. The release lever is normally mounted on the
right, but can be put on the left if so wished.

Driving the Mini Crosser M-MaxX
Getting in and out
It is important to learn a safe technique for getting in and out of
the Mini Crosser.
In general the following method should be followed:
• Make sure that the Mini Crosser M-MaxX is off (switch turned to
0) when getting in and out, otherwise the Mini Crosser could start
if the accelerator was touched inadvertently.
• Make sure that the brake is on. (Lever for disengaging motor in
top position.)
• Put the steering column in vertical position.
• If necessary, turn the seat through 45° or 90° and make sure that
it is locked in position (clicked into place).
• If necessary, raise the armrest.
For some users the assistance of an attendant can be
recommended. The attendant should:
• Take care not to injure him/herself when lifting/lowering/supporting
the user.
• Make sure that the Mini Crosser is stable and unable to move.
Turn off the Mini Crosser and check that the brake is on and the
seat has been rotated until it clicks into place at either 45° or 90°.
• Make sure that the seat the user is being moved to is stable.
Turn the Mini Crosser off, return the
steering column to upright position, rotate
the seat and raise the armrest.
IMPORTANT!
The Mini Crosser will turn
itself off automatically after
it has been stationary for
10 minutes even if the key
has been turned to driving
position.
To restart the vehicle, the
key must be turned to stop
position (0) and then to driving
position (1).

User guide P9-0135-B 15 of 52 Version 1.0.3/2012
Medema Production A/S
Braking systems
There are three braking systems on the Mini Crosser:
• Motor brake - adjusts vehicle speed also when going downhill.
• Magnetic brake - the magnetic brake is automatic and
engages when the Mini Crosser stops. In an emergency,
the Mini Crosser can be stopped instantaneously by turning
the key switch. Please note that this will cause very sharp
braking. The rear wheels will lock.
Must NOT be used in the normal course of driving.
The brake must never be disengaged mechanically using
the disengagement lever on a slope. This function is only
designed for use when pushing the Mini Crosser on a flat
road.
General safety advice
Make sure that the backrest is upright and the seat is as low as
possible.
Positioning belts are recommended if the user is unable to
maintain a good driving posture independently.
Adjust your driving to road conditions. Take account of light,
traffic and weather. Be particularly careful when driving in the
dark or in bad weather, such as rain or snow. Avoid driving on
gradients with poor surfaces, such as: snow, ice, new-mown
grass, wet grass and wet leaves.

User guide P9-0135-B 16 of 52 Version 1.0.3/2012
Medema Production A/S
Never drive when under the influence. This applies not only to
alcohol, but also to drugs and medicines.
Reduce speed immediately if you feel you are losing control.
Always use the indicators when changing direction.
Check that lights and indicators are working before driving off.
Use your lights when driving after lighting-up time.
As far as possible, grip the handlebars firmly with both hands.
Take care not to have anything in the basket at the front that
might inadvertently operate the accelerator.
WARNING! Do not lower the handlebars so far that the
accelerator can hit you on the leg when you turn the vehicle and
so be operated in advertently. If the handlebars need to be very
low, a twist grip accelerator is recommended. This is particularly
relevant if leg supports are being used.
ALWAYS switch the scooter off when it is not in use. Turn the
key to 0.
Driving
Even though the Mini Crosser is very stable, it can tip over.
Avoid sudden changes of speed and direction when travelling at
high speed, on poor surfaces and, not least, on slopes.
For short distances the Mini Crosser can drive up steeper
gradients than it has been tested as dynamically stable for. The
same applies to driving down such gradients. In such cases
there is an increased risk of the Mini Crosser tilting and even
tipping over. So be extra careful in following the driving tips
given below.
Anti-tilt wheels are recommended for driving in very hilly terrain.
(Optional extra)

User guide P9-0135-B 17 of 52 Version 1.0.3/2012
Medema Production A/S
New users are urged to practise the following in an area where
there is no other traffic:
• Set the Mini Crosser to low speed. Drive forwards and backwards.
Gradually turn the speed selector up and feel the change in the
speed of the Mini Crosser.
• Practise starting and braking. Get used to the Mini Crosser’s
response time.
• Practise driving in a narrow space, similar to inside a shop or
through a door.
• Practise turning, and get a sense of how much space is required.
Always drive slowly when turning. Practise reversing too.
• Practise cornering and driving over obstacles and on slopes.
Always drive straight up/down kerbs and ramps. Never at an
angle. See the illustrations on the following pages.
• Try braking at different speeds and notice the stopping distances.
• If possible, try driving on different surfaces (road, grass and
gravel).
• Practise assessing how far you can drive on a single battery
charge. Note how quickly the battery indicator changes from
green to amber to red.
Note!
The driving distance of the scooter will be reduced when driving
in hilly districts, into a head wind, in cold weather and with low
tyre pressure.

Traffic regulations
The traffic legislation for scooters varies from country to
country. Before starting to use the vehicle outdoors, it is the
user’s responsibility to familiarise him/herself with the relevant
legislation.
The following rules apply in Denmark:
Mobility vehicles such as the Mini Crosser with a maximum
speed of up to 11.5 km/h count as cycles in traffic legislation
and the traffic regulations for cycles must be followed at speeds
in excess of 6 km/h.
At speeds of up to 6 km/h the Mini Crosser is regarded as a
“pedestrian”, and it is permissible to travel on the pavement at
this speed. “Tortoise” speed corresponds to approx. 6 km/h.
Lights must only be used during lighting-up time. Crash helmet
and seat belts are not compulsory.

User guide P9-0135-B 19 of 52 Version 1.0.3/2012
Medema Production A/S
Electromagnetic compatibility
If the Mini Crosser starts making involuntary movements or if
the brakes are released, turn the Mini Crosser off as soon as it
is safe to do so. In certain circumstances a Mini Crosser can set
off shop alarms.
The Mini Crosser satisfies the requirements for the use of
scooters in an environment with electromagnetic noise. There
may, however, be rare situations in which electromagnetic noise
can affect the Mini Crosser. Sources of such noise include radio
and television stations, amateur radio transmitters and mobile
phones.
If such equipment is being used close by, it is recommended
that the Mini Crosser is switched off. Mobile phones should not
be used while driving.
When driving in traffic...
Be particularly aware of the following when driving in traffic:
• The Mini Crosser is a low vehicle and not always easy for other
road users to see. Make quite sure that other road users have
seen you before driving onto the highway.
• Keep an eye on traffic behind you. Keep well over to the side of
the road when driving on busy roads.
• Turning right and left at crossroads. Be aware of cyclists and
pedestrians. Follow the rules of the road for cyclists.
• How quickly things are happening. How long do the lights stay
green? How quickly are cars approaching? etc.

User guide P9-0135-B 20 of 52 Version 1.0.3/2012

Specific driving situations
Up kerbs
• Stop at right angles to the kerbstone about 5-10 cm away from it.
Keep an eye on other road users.
• Lean forwards.
• Accelerate moderately so that your vehicle can overcome the
obstacle. Do not stop halfway, but reduce speed once the vehicle
is up.
• If the kerb is too high, do not try again, but find an alternative
route.
Down kerbs
• Lean back.
• If you are driving onto a road with traffic, keep an eye on other
road users.
• Drive forwards and down the kerb at low speed. Make sure that
your anti-tilt wheels (if fitted) do not catch on the edge.
