Posture
Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture.
1. Sit erect on the seat at the position which you
feel most comfortable.
2. Keep your arms relaxed to give extra cushion for
body on uneven road surfaces.
3. Keep right arm and foot close to the brake lever
and pedal, so as to enable fast action during panic
braking.
4. Look widely instead of gazing at one point.
5. Alter your sitting location/posture slightly at
intervals during long rides. This will reduce
fatigue.
Cornering
When cornering, centrifugal force works in a direction
perpendicular to the direction in which the vehicle
is moving. Centrifugal force increases in proportion
with speed and the radius of the corner.
During cornering, reduce speed so as to lessen the
effects of centrifugal force. By all means, avoid abrupt
application of brake or sudden steering.
One-hand riding is dangerous. Keep both hands firmly
on the handle bar and both feet securely on the floor
board. Under no circumstances should both the hands
be removed from the handle bar, as it is very dangerous.
Avoid use of mobile phones while riding as it could
lead to fatal accident.
Slow down to a safe speed before negotiating a corner.
If this is the first time that you are riding a vehicle of this
type, we suggest that you practice on a safe, open area
to become thoroughly familiar with the operation of the
vehicle.
