Safe driving

WARNING

SOME SIMPLE TIPS ARE PROVIDED BELOW THAT WILL ENABLE YOU TO USE

YOUR SCOOTER ON A DAILY BASIS IN GREATER SAFETY AND WITH MORE

PEACE OF MIND.

Your ability and your knowledge of the vehicle form the basis of safe riding. We rec-

ommend trying out the vehicle in traffic-free zones to get to know your vehicle

completely.

ALWAYS DRIVE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS

1. Before riding off, remember to put on your helmet and fasten it correctly.

2. Reduce speed and ride cautiously on uneven roads.

3. Remember that after riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes,

the braking effect is initially lower. Given these conditions, it is a good idea to operate

the brakes from time to time.

4. Do not brake hard on a wet surface, on dirt tracks or on any slippery road surface.

5. If you have to brake, use both brakes in order to divide the braking action between

both wheels.

6. Avoid starting off by mounting the scooter while it is still resting on its stand. In any

case, the rear wheel should not be turning when in comes into contact with the ground,

in order to avoid abrupt departures.

7. If the vehicle is used on roads covered with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc.,

clean the brake disc frequently with mild detergent in order to prevent abrasive sub-

stances from building up within the holes, which can result in early wear of the brake

pads.
