SAFE RIDING
Helmet: Most serious injuries that occur while riding are head injuries.
This could be prevented by wearing a helmet.
Before each ride, check whether the Frame, Handlebar, and Saddle are
secure, the Fenders are properly aligned, the tire pressure is
sufficient, and the brake system works correctly. Make sure you can
reach and squeeze the Brake Levers.
Foot Position – While riding the Bolt, keep your feet on the Foot Rests.
Do not ride with your feet dangling over the sides. Remain seated while
riding the Bolt.
To start riding, turn the Twist Throttle slowly. Get accustomed to the
acceleration of the throttle.
Make your turns slowly and cautiously, and give yourself stopping
distance. It is recommended you practice your first ride on the
Bolt in an open space with no obstacles in your way.
Practice shifting the gears while riding. Only shift gears while in motion.
Avoid putting your body weight on the handlebars.
Braking – To come to a stop, squeeze the Brake Levers. Be careful not to
squeeze the Brake Levers too fast, as it may cause too sudden a stop or
jerking motion.
PLEASE NOTE: Riding, like most sports, involves risk of injury and
damage. By choosing to ride the Bolt, the responsibility and all inherent
risk is on you. It is crucial that you know, understand, and act according
to safety rules.
