Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily
basis, confidently and safely. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge are the basis
of safe riding. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic-free zones to familiarise
with it.
1. Before riding off, remember to put the helmet on and fasten it correctly.
2. Reduce speed on rough roads and ride with care.
3. After riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking can be
poor at the beginning. In these conditions, it is a good idea to apply the brakes from
time to time.
4. Avoid riding off by mounting the scooter when it is resting on its support. In any
case, the rear wheel should not be turning when it comes into contact with the ground,
in order to avoid abrupt departures.
5. If the vehicle is used on roads covered with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc.,
clean the brake disc frequently with a mild detergent in order to prevent abrasive par-
ticles from building up inside the holes, which can result in early brake pad wear.
