Insurance
There is no legal requirement for insurance but it is a very good idea to have cover for fire and
theft, accidental and malicious damage, and also third party damages. For more information call
TGA.
Breakdown & Recovery Service
Again not a requirement but a very good idea to enable you total peace of mind when going out on
your scooter.
Mobile Phone
An essential item if you are out there alone. You never know, breakdown, accident, health -
communication is a must.
Carrying Loads
Do not overload. It may make your scooter unstable and reduce its range. Place heavy loads
inboard – in the middle – not behind the back wheel which can lighten the steering or can cause
the front end to lift off the road on a bump, and not at the front which might make steering heavy.
Airline Checking
Sealed Lead Acid Batteries are permitted on aeroplanes. Airline personnel may insist on removing
the battery cover to verify its contents. It is best to check with the airline beforehand. An airline
compliance certificate is available from TGA.
