Riding your Moped
• Starting the Engine
Turn the key to the “ “ position, the engine
can be started in both drive and neutral.
• Start
Apply the front brake by pulling in the lever,
then press the start button marked “ “
until the engine starts and runs, you will want
to use the choke if the engine is cold.
• Riding on Inclines
When riding up and incline, your mopeds
speed will decrease and it may stall. When
this happens you will want to also pedal your
moped to assist your hill climb.
• Using the Brakes and Parking
You should completely close the throttle and
gradually apply the front and rear brakes
evenly when bringing your moped to a stop.
Your moped should be parked on flat ground
whenever possible. If your moped must be
parked on an incline, please lock the handle-
bars and angle the front wheel into the curb
to keep it from rolling. You can also use the
center stand when parking on an incline but
you will need to face the front of your moped
up the hill, not down.
Caution:
New riders tend to use only the front or
rear brake, this will cause either system
used to wear out the brake pads/shoes
more quickly. Using only the front or rear
brake will also increase braking distances.
Warning:
Only using the front or rear brakes is dan-
gerous, especially in wet conditions. This
can cause loss of control. Always apply
both brakes evenly. DO NOT brake sud-
denly as this may cause wheel lock up and
vehicle skidding.
