Riding the Scooter
Please always wear a HELMET and PROTECTIVE CLOTHING! Familiarise
yourself with the controls BEFORE you go out on a public road. Take the
appropriate training if you do not all ready know how to ride a scooter. Failure to do
so could put yourself or others at risk of injury! The controls are designed for ease
of use. The right hand controls the throttle front brake and the switch for the lights
and starter. The left hand controls the rear brake and the switch for the high low
beam, indicator (left and right) and the horn switch. Start the scooter. Sit astride the
scooter with one or both feet on the floor and you’re hands on the handle bars with
the brakes on. Let the brakes off as you gently twist the throttle and simultaneously
lift you’re feet into the footwell. When you want to slow or come to stop release the
throttle and gently apply the brakes.
For safety do not ride your scooter in freezing weather conditions; in cold weather
conditions it is advisable to lubricate throttle cable with wd40 or silicon greece.
