z When carrying a passenger, before moving
off make sure they are wearing a helmet
and that it is fastened on correctly.
z Do not exceed the scooter’s maximum
weight limit of 150 kg, including loads.
z On uneven roads, or in rainy, snowy or
slippery conditions you must reduce your
speed and increase the safety distance
between you and other vehicles. Proceed
with utmost caution.
z At night or in low visibility conditions
always wear reflective, florescent clothing
to maximise your visibility to other drivers.
When changing lane or turning, use
appropriate signals and the horn when
necessary.
z Be attentive to the vehicles around you
and do not assume that other drivers
can see you. Be always ready to make
an emergency stop or carry out a fast
manoeuvre to avoid obstacles.
z Carry out correct maintenance of the
scooter to maintain it always in a safe
optimal riding condition.
z Driving under the influence of alcohol,
