Driving Procedures
Before driving with the scooter, it should be adjusted optimally to your personal
needs.
After you have carried out all inspection points, you can seat yourself in the
scooter. See ‘Transferring in and out’.
Now you may start your ride.
As a scooter driver, keep in mind that other traffic participants may not always
notice you. Keep to the current traffic regulations.
