2) Clothing and protection
For your safety and that of the passenger, we recommend wearing
the right protective clothing when driving the scooter. Although it
does not provide total protection, it can considerably reduce the
probabilities of injury and the seriousness of the consequences.
Consult a specialist to choose the clothing that best suits you.
Always wear a helmet: Proper use of a helmet is basic and
obligatory, both for the driver and for the passenger. It must be
approved, in good condition and fastened properly. Helmets reduce
the number of head injuries and their seriousness. We recommend
using full face helmets (that cover the whole head) over open face
helmets (jet or three-quarter helmets), in light, bright colours or
with reflector strips, that are lightweight and fit properly.
Protect your eyes: Always use eye protection, either the visor of the
helmet or the appropriate glasses.
Other garments: Wear stiff boots and leather gloves to protect your
feet, ankles and hands from scratches, cuts and bruises. Wear a suit
or jacket and trousers specifically designed for use on a scooter.
These should be form-fitting and the right size, and we recommend
they have reflector strips.
These recommendations also apply to the passenger, if there is one.
