Disclaimer
I have done my best interpreting this manual. However, there may be
mistakes in the translation, decimal points, etc. I take no credit for those.
Using this manual is at your own risk. I accept no responsibility for
any errors or omissions herein. You will in no way hold me responsi-
ble for any problems associated with usage of this scooter or this
manual. You agree to this by accepting this manual.
I am not associated with the company who manufactures the scooter or with
any importer or dealer who imports or sells this scooter.
I am just a guy who works as an English Consultant in Taiwan and who has
been dealing with this kind of situation for 7 years now and saw a need for a
manual in understandable American English.
I don’t as yet own one of these scooters. However, I intend to remedy that
situation soon, within the next month or so when I take my annual leave in
the US. I have a picture of it hanging on the wall in front of my computer to
keep reminding me.
I hope that my endeavor helps you with understanding the scooter opera-
tions, maintenance, etc. I know, who reads the manual anyway?
Enjoy.

Safe Driving
Safe Driving
The main point of safe
driving is to relax and
wear comfortable clothing.
Wear helmet and gloves when driving.
Hold the handlebars with
both hands. Never drive
using only one hand.
Wear protective shoes.
Avoid wearing loose or long clothing.
To avoid a burn injury, be careful to avoid
any contact with the hot exhaust system
after running the engine.
1.

Maintain your natural posture while
operating the motorscooter.
Driving Tips
Driving Tips
For proper weight distribution, sit
on the center of the double seat.
Sitting further back will reduce the
weight on the front end, making
the steering more sensitive.
When turning or swerving, keep your weight to the inside of the
turn.
Be alert when driving on rough roads.
2.

Loading
Loading
Maximum Weight
under the seat:
22 Lbs.
The steering becomes more sensitive when
placing weight to the rear of the motorscooter.
When passing, with a load on the motor-
scooter, the steering may become very light.
Please drive with caution.
Be careful not to allow clothing to cover
the air filter as this will choke the engine.
Don’t allow clothing to cover the air intake
on the frame side panel as this will over-
heat the engine.
Don’t replace
the bolts of the
luggage rack
with pointed
bolts or screws
as this will
damage the
body.
