10 Learning Your Vehicle
Braking – It is important to get familiar with the braking response
on the ROXOR. Start at slow speeds and low pedal force. Gradually
increase your speed and pedal force to understand adequate brak-
ing distance without locking up the wheels. It may also be a good
idea to practice an emergency stop to see how the ROXOR reacts.
Always brake in a straight line with little to no steering input.
Reverse – Learn how the ROXOR handles in reverse and more import-
antly how it reacts to steering inputs while driving in reverse. You
should also familiarize yourself with the distance required to see
obstacles behind you. Place an orange cone or other non-destruct-
ible item close to the rear bumper and then pull forward until you
can see the item from the driver’s seat. You can even practice back-
ing up to these items without hitting them. Take note of the dis-
tances.
Emergency Engine Stop – While driving at a slow speed, turn off the
ignition switch. Take note of how the ROXOR reacts when the engine
stops running. It is a good idea to develop this reflex in case of an
emergency. You may also want to practice an emergency exit, which
will require stopping the engine, immobilizing the ROXOR, removing
the seat belt, detaching the safety net (or opening the door) and exit-
ing the ROXOR.
