INTRODUCTION
General safety
Before riding your motorcycle, read, observe and follow the warnings
and information.
WARNING: When riding your motorcycle, always wear the
correct safety gear, even for short trips: an approved helmet,
eye protection, riding boots, gloves and protective clothing.
Taking these precautions helps to reduce the risk of injury or
death in the event of an accident.
WARNING: Make sure your motorcycle is maintained in good
mechanical condition by following the maintenance schedule
and making any recommended adjustments contained in this
handbook. Be sure to check your motorcycle before going for
a ride. Failure to maintain the motorcycle in good operating
condition could result in an accident, causing injury or death.
For further information, see Daily safety checks on page 51
and Maintenance and adjustment on page 63.
WARNING: Modifications to the motorcycle may render the
vehicle unsafe, void the warranty, cause injury to yourself and
other road users and violate governmental safety regulations.
Therefore, Maeving cannot be held liable for any death or
sustained injury resulting from non-approved modifications.
WARNING: For your safety, do not use unauthorised electronic
devices as they could cause the motorcycle to operate
abnormally and could cause wire damage, battery discharge
or fire, potentially resulting in injury or death.
WARNING: Some medications may cause drowsiness or other
side eects that may impair the rider’s ability to control the
motorcycle or aect their judgment, increasing the risk of
injury or death. Always check that your medication is safe to
use when riding.
WARNING: It is not recommended to overload your
motorcycle with large, bulky or heavy items, as this additional
load may aect the handling of your motorcycle and the
eectiveness of the safety systems. Any damage, injury
sustained or death resulting from overloading the motorcycle
with large, bulky or heavy items may invalidate the warranty.
WARNING: Sometimes, motorists or pedestrians do not
see motorcyclists approaching, and electric motorcycles
are virtually silent when in use. Wearing bright or reflective
clothing and maintaining a good road position while riding
can make you more visible to other road users and provide
you with extra room to take evasive action in the case of an
emergency. Failure to ride without taking these precautions
may result in an accident, causing injury or death.
WARNING: Remember to signal when changing lanes or
turning, and use the horn to alert other road users of your
presence where appropriate. Failure to do so may result in an
accident, causing injury or death.
WARNING: Never ride a motorcycle under the influence of drugs
or alcohol, as this is illegal and will impair your riding ability.
Doing so may result in an accident, causing injury or death.
WARNING: Operating a motorcycle on public roads without
a license is illegal and could lead to prosecution. The formal
training for correct riding techniques, included in the licensing
process, is essential for avoiding loss of motorcycle control
and accidents, causing injury or death.
