The front steering is foot activated, and includes a steering damper system. The foot steering system
includes a linkage to the rear passenger footrest to allow them to steer if they are piloting.
The default setting for the steering damper is light, which is achieved by rotating the shaft of the
damper completely in the anticlockwise direction. The setting may be adjusted for personal preference.
