when turning.
* Repeat turning exercise but this time main-
tain the throttle at the same level while turn-
ing.
* Finally, repeat turning exercise while acceler-
ating slowly.
* Practice exercises turning on the other side.
Note how your vehicle reacts in these differ-
ent exercises. We recommend releasing the
throttle before entering a turn to help initiate
directional change. You will feel the lateral
force increasing with the speed and with your
steering input. The lateral force should be
maintained as low as possible to make sure it
does not cause the vehicle to roll over.
U turn Exercises
Practice doing U turns.
* Accelerate slowly and while remaining at
low speed, gradually turn the steering wheel
to the right until you have completed the U
turn. Repeat U turn exercise with different
steering inputs and always at a very low
speed.
* Repeat U turn exercise on the other side.
As mentioned before in this manual, do not
ride on paved surfaces as the vehicle behavior
will not be the same, increasing the risk of roll-
over.
Braking Exercises
Practice braking to get familiar with the brake
response.
* Do it at low speed first, then increase the
speed.
* Practice braking in straight line at different
speeds and different braking force.
* Practice emergency braking; optimal braking
is obtained in straight line, with high force
applied, without locking the wheels.
Remember, braking distance depends on ve-
hicle speed, load and the type of surface. Also,
the tires and brakes conditions play a major
