8.2 Additional Riding Gear
Riding in the ROXOR without the additional riding gear listed below
increases your chances of severe injury in the event of an accident.
Hearing Protection – Check your local laws before using hearing
protective devices as they may not be allowed. Hearing protective
devices can help prevent hearing loss but also reduce your ability
to hear the surrounding sounds and may affect your safety.
Gloves – Gloves protect your hands from the elements and flying
objects. Properly fitting gloves will improve your grip on the
steering wheel and reduce fatigue. If gloves do not fit properly they
may make it difficult to operate the ROXOR controls. For cold
weather riding, gloves with sufficient insulation are required to
protect your hands from frost bite.
Boots – You should not operate the ROXOR with open toed
footwear. An over the ankle boot with non-slip soles are preferred
and will help you keep your feet firmly on the floor and foot
controls. Long shoelaces should be avoided, they can get tangled
in the foot controls and prevent you from exiting the ROXOR. For
cold weather riding, avoid oversized boots that may get trapped in
the foot controls and prevent the proper operation of the ROXOR.
Clothing – Long sleeve shirts and long pants are preferred when
operating the ROXOR. In the event of a crash the right clothing may
prevent or reduce injury. For cold weather riding, wear sufficient
insulation to protect yourself against hypothermia, a condition of
lowered body temperature resulting in a loss of concentration,
slower reaction times and muscle movement. Even in moderate
temperatures, wind chill can make you cold and affect your
reaction time. A windproof outer layer can prevent this. Always
dress in layers so that clothing can be added and removed to keep
you comfortable during your entire ride.
Rain Gear – On extended rides, carrying rain gear is a good idea.
Dry riders will be much more alert and comfortable.
