OPERATION
NOTE: At certain speeds your scooter will turn more ef-
fectively by leaning your body, than by applying pressure
on the handlebars. Practice steering in an open, traffic-
free area until you are familiar with the handling charac-
teristics of your scooter.
8. As you approach a turn, or plan to stop, use the turn sig-
nals well in advance to alert other traffic of your intentions.
Reduce your speed when riding your scooter in the rain.
Wet road surfaces reduce tire grip and greatly increases
the distance required for safe braking. A wet surface
also reduces tires grip during cornering. Reduced tire
grip will make it more difficult to control your scooter
and may cause an accident.
Scan for other vehicles around you, turn your head and
use the scooter’s mirrors. Slowly move to the right side of
the road. Close the throttle, apply the brake smoothly, as
the brake light will warn vehicles behind you that you are
braking.
Reduce your speed when riding on uneven or loose road
surfaces. When riding downhill, use less throttle and
brake intermittently to control the vehicle’s speed. These
conditions reduce tire grip and can cause an accident.
