Things to Know

The AEV 311 is a compact, lightweight 3-wheel vehicle. As such it will respond differently than other on-road

vehicles in various road and weather conditions.

Awareness:

★The AEV 311 vehicle is designed for on-road use by one operator with one passenger.

★AEV 311 and electric vehicle’s in general do not generate sound when on. If the instrumentation

display (cluster) is lit up, then the vehicle is on and as such you should have your foot on the

brake and/or fully engage the parking brake until ready to engage the <<D>> or <<R>> gear

selection.

★Driving off-road, driving at excessive speeds, driving with more that one passenger or carrying weight

exceeding the maximum weight can make handling difficult, which could cause loss of control resulting

in injury or death.

★The front two-wheels are outside the width of the vehicle body. As such be sure to allow for this

when turning or entering/exiting parking or other tight spaces.

Practice:

★Until you are thoroughly familiar with your AEV 311 and its controls, practice driving where there is little

or no traffic and in different weather conditions.

★Practice braking in a safe area to become familiar with the feel of the AEV 311 brakes before driving in

traffic.

★Reduce speed in wet conditions. Pay particular attention if water is beginning to pool on the road.

Three-wheeled vehicles behave differently than other vehicles when driving over deep water.
