TIPS
SAFE RIDING TIPS
speed and the radius of the corner.
During cornering, reduce speed so as to lessen the
effects of centrifugal force. By all means, avoid abrupt
application of brake or sudden steering.
Warning
One-hand riding is dangerous. Keep both hands firmly on
the handle bar and both feet securely on the floor board.
Under no circumstances should both the hands be removed
from the handle bar, as it is very dangerous.
Avoid use of mobile phones while riding as it could lead
to fatal accident.
Slow down to a safe speed before negotiating a corner. If this is
the first time that you are riding a vehicle of this type, we
suggest that you practice on a safe, open area to become
thoroughly familiar with the operation of the vehicle.
Braking
For safe riding, it is very important to master the
braking techniques.
1. Close / release the throttle.
2. Hold the vehicle upright as you apply the brake.
3. Progressive application of brake is safer.
4. Apply both the brakes.
5. Riding down hills, while cornering and wet roads
close throttle and come to a slower speed to
avoid the loss of control over the vehicle due to
skidding.
Causes for poor braking
1. If the brake shoes / pads or drum / disc are worn
out or if there is water or oil on them, sufficient
friction does not develop and brakes do not work
well.
2. Even when the brake works normally, if the road
surface is wet or the tyre surface is worn-out,
tyres do not take a firm hold on the surface,
increasing the stopping distance.
3. Approximately 60% braking effect is from f r o n t
brake. Non-usage of front brake causes poor
braking.
