5.4 Driving Procedures
Before driving 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 ‘Getting on or off the scooter’.
Now you may start to drive.
As a scooter driver, keep in mind that other people may not always notice you.
Always be aware of the people and traffic around you.
