Q SAFETY INFORMATION
4. Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been
involved in accidents do not even have a current driver’s license.
a. Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your scooter to other qualified
operators.
b. Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident.
c. We recommend that you practice riding your scooter where there is no traffic until you
have become thoroughly familiar with the scooter and all of its controls.
5. Many accidents have been caused by error of the scooter operator. A typical error made by
the operator is veering wide on a turn due to EXCESSIVE SPEED or under cornering (insuf-
ficient lean angle for the speed).
a. Always obey the speed limit and never travel faster than warranted by road and traffic
conditions.
b. Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure that other motorists can see
you.
6. The posture of the operator and passenger is important for proper control.
a. The operator should keep both hands on the handlebar and both feet on the footboard
during operation to maintain control of the scooter.
b. The passenger should always hold onto the operator, the seat strap or grab bar, if
equipped, with both hands and keep both feet on the passenger footrests.
c. Never carry a passenger unless he or she can firmly place both feet on the passenger
footrests.
7. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
8. This scooter is designed for on-road use only. It is not suitable for off-road use.
Protective apparel
The majority of fatalities from scooter accidents are the result of head injuries. The use of a
safety helmet is the single most critical factor in the prevention or reduction of head injuries.
1. Always wear an approved helmet.
