2. 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 machine 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 machine from side to side, and
forward and back, in order to get comfortable.
5. The rider can now switch the machine 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 off.
