1. ENSURING A SAFE RIDE
RIDING GEAR
• In order to ensure a safe ride be sure to relax and wear
comfortable clothing.
• Observe all traffic laws and be careful.
o Always wear a helmet and make sure it is fastened. o Arrange your clothing – fasten shirt cuffs to prevent
them from hooking the brake lever.
o Wear low healed shoes. o When riding, use both hands to grasp the handlebar.
It is very dangerous to hold the handlebar with just one hand.
- 1 -
• A scooter rider should NEVER wear loose clothing
• To avoid the risk of being burned, DO NOT touch the
exhaust muffler during or up to 10 minutes after riding.
• When parking the scooter, keep it away from dry grass
or any other flammable objects or materials.
RIDING METHOD
• Safety on a two-wheeled vehicle is influence by seating
position. The rider should sit on the central part of the seat cushion. Should the rider sit on the rear part of the seat, the load of the front wheel will decrease, the handlebars could swing therefore putting the rider in danger.
• When making a turn, it will be easier for the rider to steer
the scooter by leaning the body inward slightly. Failure to do this could result in a loss of balance.
• When riding on a damaged or gravel road be sure to slow
down your speed and hold the handlebars tightly.
- 2 -
CARRYING GOODS
• Maintain proper posture at all times while operating the scooter.
• The handlebars will feel different when carrying goods on
the scooter. Overloading may cause the handlebars to swing. Do not exceed maximum loading capacity.
i. Maximum loading capacity of the met-in box is 10 kg.
ii. Maximum loading capacity of the rear carrier is 5 kg.
