Riding Posture
Good posture helps you maneuver the
vehicle more easily. Always keep both
hands and both feet in position so that
you can operate the controls easily.
The wrist should typically be aligned
straight with the arm (this position helps
you apply the amount of throttle you
want). Arms should be relaxed and
bent. Keep your back straight and your
head and eyes up. Keep both feet on
the pegs near the controls.
Never operate the vehicle, even for a
short distance, unless you are in the
proper riding posture.
