Additional Riding Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
• Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and
ankles.
• Leather gloves to help protect your hands.
• A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for comfort, as well as
protection. Bright-colored and reflective clothing can help make
you more noticeable.
RIDER TRAINING
Developing your riding skills is an ongoing process. Even if you have
ridden other motorcycles, take time to become familiar with how
this motorcycle works and handles. Practice riding the Empulse in a
safe area to build your skills. Do not ride in traffic until you get
accustomed to the Empulse’s controls and feel comfortable with its
size and weight.
We urge all riders to take a government-certified riding course. New
riders should start with the basic course, and even experienced
riders will find the advanced course beneficial.
