SCOOTER SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your scooter can provide you many years of service and pleasure if you take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges that you can meet on the road. There is
much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You
will find many helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. Here are some very important safety tips:
Wear a helmet
Scooter safety equipment starts with a quality helmet. One of
the most serious injuries you can suf fer in a crash 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.
Keep your scooter in safe condition
For safe riding, it's important to inspect your scooter before
every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits, and only use accessories that have been
approved by KYMCO for this scooter .
Inspect your scooter before riding
Do not forget to perform an entire safety inspection to ensure
you, and your passenger's safety, before each ride.
Be extra safety conscious on bad weather days
Riding on bad weather days, especially wet ones, requires extra caution. Braking distance can double on a rainy day . Stay
off of the painted surfaces, manhole covers and greasy appearing areas on the pavement, as they can be especially slippery. Use extreme caution at railway crossings and on metal
gratings and bridges. Whenever your are in doubt about the
road conditions, slow down.
Modification
Modification of your scooter, or removal of original equipment
may render the vehicle unsafe or illegal. Obey all applicable
equipment regulations in your area.

SCOOTER SAFETY
PROTECTIVE APPAREL
For your safety, always wear an approved motorcycle or scooter
helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and a longsleeved shirt or jacket whenever you ride your scooter .
Helmets and protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the best protection against head injuries. Your
helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely. Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and to aid
your vision.

colored and reflective clothing can help make you more
noticeable in traffic. Be sure to avoid loose clothes that
could get caught on any part of your scooter .
Not wearing a helmet increases your chance of serious
injury or death in a crash.
