four wheels, it can tip over in any
direction. Improper turning techni-
ques, traversing hills, accelerating
on hills, and turning on hills can all
lead to vehicle tip over.

avoid riding situations which can
lead to tip over accidents.

ques suited to their handling
characteristics, so be sure that all
riders of the TE100R practice
and master the riding techniques
described in this owner s manual
(Starting on page 21).
