Beamer. When carrying a passenger, always 
insure that they place their feet on the passenger 
pedals.  Always keep your feet on the footrests 
and your hands on the handlebar grips while 
operating your Beamer. Doing so will give you the 
best control of the unit.  
 
Be sure that you and your passenger are NOT 
wearing loose fitting clothing that could become 
entangled in the moving parts of the vehicle. 
 
Start the vehicle in a forward motion by slowly 
increasing the throttle pressure. 
 
Never place more than 12lbs / 5kg load on the 
rear rack. Doing so may cause the vehicle to 
become unbalanced and cause an unsafe driving 
condition. 
 
Never carry anything on the handlebars or your 
lap while driving your vehicle. Doing so can cause 
a loss of control over the vehicle. 
 
Learn to steer your scooter by shifting your 
weight in the direction of the turn. (Lean into the 
turn) 
 
Use your front & rear brakes to control your 
speed and to stop.  Sudden braking force can 
cause the vehicle to start sliding. To regain 
control, release the braking pressure until you 
have regained control of the vehicle. 
 
When the road surface is wet, the braking 
distance is double that of when the road surface 
is dry. 
 
Keep a safe distance between yourself and the 
vehicle in front of you.  
 

It is not recommended to operate this vehicle 
in slippery conditions such as on snow or ice 
covered roads. 
When going downhill, release the throttle grip 
and use your brakes to control your speed. 
 
After washing your vehicle your brake shoe 
and pad may have become wet and will 
reduce the braking force until they have had 
a chance to dry.
