Basic safety rules:
Protective clothing:
For your safety, we strongly recom-
mend that you always wear and
approved motorcycle helmet,
eye protection, boots,gloves, long
pants, and a long-sleeved shirt or
jacket whenever you ride. Although
complete protection is not possible,
wearing proper gear can reduce the
chance of injury. See your Kumpan
dealer for stylish comfortable and
effective riding gear suggestions.
Helmet and eye protection:
Your helmet is your most important piece of
riding gear because it offers the best protection
against head injuries. A helmet should fit your
head comfortably and securely. A bright -colored
helmet can make you more noticeable in traffic,
as can reflective strips. An open-face helmet
offers some protection, but a full-face helmet
offers more. Always remember to properly
fasten your crash helmet. Regardless of the sty-
le, look for a DOT ( Department Of Transportati-
on) sticker in any helmet you buy (USA only) and
always wear a face shield or gogles to protect
your eyes and help your vision.
Additional riding gear:
In addition to a helmet and eye protection,
we also recommend:
1) Boots worn correctly with an anti-slip sole to
protect your feet and calves
2) Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and
help prevent blisters, cuts, burns ans scraped skin
3) A motorscooter riding suit or jacket to com-
fort as well as protection
Bright-colored and reflective clothing can help
make you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure
to avoid loose clothes that could get caught on
any part of your motorscooter.
