Loading
Adding accessories or cargo to your
scooter can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution of
the scooter is changed. To avoid the
possibility of an accident, use extreme
caution when adding cargo or accesso-
ries to your scooter. Use extra care when
riding a scooter that has added cargo or
accessories. Here, along with the infor-
mation about accessories below, are
some general guidelines to follow if load-
ing cargo to your scooter:
The total weight of the operator, pas-
senger, accessories and cargo must
not exceed the maximum load limit.
Operation of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident.
Maximum load:
155 kg (342 lb)
When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:
Cargo and accessory weight should
be kept as low and close to the
scooter as possible. Securely pack
your heaviest items as close to the
center of the vehicle as possible
and make sure to distribute the
weight as evenly as possible on
both sides of the scooter to mini-
mize imbalance or instability.
Shifting weights can create a sud-
den imbalance. Make sure that ac-
cessories and cargo are securely
attached to the scooter before riding.
Check accessory mounts and
cargo restraints frequently.
Properly adjust the suspension
for your load (suspension-
adjustable models only), and
check the condition and
pressure of your tires.
Never attach any large or
heavy items to the handlebar,
front fork, or front fender. Such
items can create unstable
handling or a slow steering
response.
This vehicle is not designed to
pull a trailer or to be attached to
a sidecar.
