There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You will find many helpful recommendations throughout this manual. Following are a few that we consider most important.
Wear a helmet
Scooter safety equipment starts with a quality helmet. One of the most serious injuries that can happen is a head injury. Always wear a properly approved helmet. You should also wear suitable eye protection.
Make yourself easy to see
To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself so other drivers can see you, signal before turning or changing lanes, and use your horn when it will help others notice you.
Know your limits
Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Knowing these limits and staying within them will help you to avoid accidents.
