Your scooter can provide you many years of
service and pleasure if you take responsibility for
your own safety and understand the challenges
that you can meet on the road. There is much that
you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You
will find many helpful recommendations
throughout this manual. Here are some very
important safety tips:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Wear a helmet
Scooter safety equipment starts with a quality
helmet. One of the most serious injuries you can
suffer in a crash is a head injury. Always wear a
properly approved helmet. You should also wear
suitable eye protection.
Make yourself easy to see
To make yourself more visible, wear bright
reflective clothing, position yourself so other
drivers can see you, signal before turning or
changing lanes, and use your horn when it will help
others notice you.
Know your limits
Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all
times. Knowing these limits and staying within
them will help you to avoid accidents.
For safe riding, it's important to inspect your
scooter before every ride and perform all
recommended maintenance. Never exceed load
limits, and only use accessories that have been
approved by KYMCO for this scooter.
Keep your scooter in safe condition
Do not forget to perform an entire safety inspection
to ensure you, and your passenger's safety, before
each ride.
Inspect your scooter before riding
Riding on bad weather days, especially wet ones,
requires extra caution. Braking distance can
double on a rainy day. Stay off of the painted
surfaces, manhole covers and greasy appearing
areas on the pavement, as they can be especially
slippery. Use extreme caution at railway crossings
and on metal gratings and bridges. Whenever your
are in doubt about the road conditions, slow down.
Be extra safety conscious on bad
weather days
Modification of your scooter, or removal of original
equipment may render the vehicle unsafe or illegal.
Obey all applicable equipment regulations in your
area.
