The safety of two-wheel vehicles is influenced by sitting
position. The rider should sit on the central part of the
seat cushion. If the rider sits on the rear part of the seat,
the load of front wheel will decrease. As a result, the
handlebar will swing and cause danger to the rider.
When making a turn, it will be easier for the rider to
steer the scooter by leaning the body inward slightly.
The scooter will lose its balance if the rider fails to
keep his body leaning inward.
When riding on a damaged or macadam road. Slow
down the speed and hold the handlebar tightly.
