It is approximately 48 cm wide, 99 cm long and 58 cm high (with the backrest folded down), with a total weight without batteries of approximately 34,5 kg. The maximum load is approximately 115 kg.\nThe vehicle has the following characteristics:\na horizontal platform connecting the front and rear sections,\nsmall wheels (approximately 2,5 × 19,0 cm) with anti-leak tyres,\nan adjustable seat without armrests and grips whose height can be set in one of two positions, and\na steering column that can be folded down.\nThe steering column has a small control unit including a contact switch, a horn, a battery output display and a button to set the maximum speed.\nThe vehicle has two thumb-operated levers for accelerating, braking and reversing. There are anti-tip wheels at the back of the vehicle to prevent it from tipping over. It has an electronic dual braking system.\nWhen its batteries are fully charged it has a maximum range of approximately 16 kilometres and can reach a maximum speed of approximately 6,5 km/h.\nThe vehicle can be disassembled into four light components. It is designed for use at home, on footpaths and in public spaces, for activities such as shopping trips.\nSee image 1.\n8703 10 18\nClassification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8703, 8703 10 and 8703 10 18.\nThe vehicle is a special type of a vehicle for the transport of persons.\nClassification under heading 8713 is excluded as the vehicle is not specially designed for the transport of disabled persons and it has no special features to alleviate a disability. (See also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 8713 and the Combined Nomenclature Explanatory Notes to subheading 8713 90 00.)\nThe vehicle is therefore to be classified under CN code 8703 10 18 as a motor vehicle principally designed for the transport of persons.\n2.\nThree-wheeled vehicle with an electric motor powered by two rechargeable 12 V batteries. It is approximately 61 cm wide, 120 cm long and 76 cm high (with the backrest folded down), with a total weight without batteries of approximately 46 kg.

There are anti-tip wheels at the back of the vehicle to prevent it from tipping over. It has an electronic dual braking system.\nWhen its batteries are fully charged it has a maximum range of approximately 40 kilometres and can reach a maximum speed of approximately 8 km/h.\nThe vehicle can be disassembled into seven light components.
