riding instructions & safety tips
First ride:
After the rider understands the controls and is comfortable with them, it's time for the
first ride. For this, the rider must be dressed correctly in suitable safety gear. Boots,
gloves, a helmet and eye protection are necessary. The venue must be flat, open and
safe, with no obstacles of any kind. The motorcycle must be set up correctly, with the
speed dial set to walking pace or lower.
1.
Ensure the power is turned off.
2.
While an adult supports the bike, and while the side-stand is down, the rider can get on
the bike.
3.
The rider now can reach back with their left foot, and put the side stand to the up
position. Have an adult ready to hold the bike up for this!
4.
Encourage the rider to rock the motorcycle from side to side, and forward and back, in
order to get comfortable.
5.
The rider can now switch the motorcycle on, by turning the key with his/her right hand.
6.
Before turning the throttle, the pegs can be in the up position, and the riders legs splayed
forward and out like outriggers.
7.
The rider can now twist the throttle and go. Encourage them to go and stop, go and
stop… using the brakes to stop. Always have a supportive hand on the rear fender.
8.
Once comfortable, the pegs can be put in the down position, and the rider can try to ride
along, and lift their feet onto the pegs as they go.
9. When stopped, turn the power switch to Off position and unplug the magnetic plug.
WARNING! OFF ROAD USE ONLY!
KUBERG motorcycles are designed for off road use only and must not be used on
public roads or sidewalks. Please check and obey all local laws.
Learning to stand up
Once the basics are mastered, the speed dial can be turned up, bit by bit, to match the
growing skills of the rider. Before the rider gets going too quickly it's a good idea to get them
riding the bike 'correctly'. This means, standing up and in control. Learning to stand up is
very difficult if the skill set of the rider does not include good throttle control. If the speed
setting is low, the rider must rotate their wrist 'around' the throttle so that when they stand,
the wrist is in the correct position. As speed dial settings get higher, the 'dead-zone' in the
throttle diminishes, so it becomes easier to stand up and work the throttle.
1.
While the motorcycle is stationary and the rider is on the bike, have an adult stand
behind and support the rider at their waist.
2.
The rider must position themselves correctly, standing in a very neutral position, holding
the bars in such a way that their weight is not being supported by their hands.
3.
If the speed dial is turned so the speed is quite low, have the rider rotate his/her hand
around the throttle enough that when the throttle is twisted, the wrist will be back in the
