Safe Riding
6
Not wearing safety apparel increases the chance of serious
injury or death in a crash. Be sure you and any passengers
always wear helmets and protective gear properly.
Your scooter can provide many years of riding enjoyment.
You must take responsibility for your own safety and the
safety of others. There are many steps you can take to
protect yourself and others while riding. Here are some very
important safety precautions:
Wear a Helmet
Rider safety begins with quality head protection. A head
injury is one of the most serious injuries that can occur.
Always wear a quality DOT approved helmet that is
properly buckled. If the helmet does not have a face shield,
wear suitable eye protection.
Wear Riding Apparel
Choose quality gloves, boots, pants, jackets and other riding
apparel specifically designed with protective features. Loose
clothing can be unsafe when riding your scooter.
Make Yourself Visible
Wear bright, reflective apparel to make yourself more
visible to fellow drivers. Position yourself on the road where
other drivers can easily see you. Use your turn signals,
hand signs, horn and other methods to help others locate
you and understand your driving actions.
WARNING
Know Your Limits
Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Do
not ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Strictly
observe all traffic regulations. Always adapt your riding to
account for traffic and road conditions.
Road Conditions
Road conditions can vary greatly with weather, foreign
material, elevation etc. Your riding stability and braking power
are limited by the grip of the tires on the road surface.
When encountering slippery road surfaces, braking distance
will increase significantly and riding stability will be reduced.
Reduce vehicle speed and perform all actions in a gradual
and deliberate manner to prevent accidents.
Use extreme caution on painted surfaces or metal objects
such as manhole covers or train rails when they are wet.
