(2) RIDING METHOD

The safety of two-wheel vehicles is influenced by sitting position. The rider should sit on the central part of the seat cushion. If the rider sits on the rear part of the seat, the load of front wheel will decrease. As a result, the handlebar will swing and cause danger to the rider. When making a turn, it will be easier for the rider to steer the scooter by leaning the body inward slightly. The scooter will lose its balance if the rider fails to keep his body leaning inward. When riding on a damaged or macadam road. Slow down the speed and hold the handlebar tightly.

Keep a good sitting posture to operate the scooter properly. The feel of the handlebar will be different when carrying goods on the scooter. Overloading may cause the handlebar to swing. Avoid riding with overload. (1) Max. loading capacity of the met-in box is 10kg. (2) Max. loading capacity of the rear carrier is 5kg.
