Riding Posture
Good posture helps you maneuver the
vehicle more easily. Always keep both
hands and both feet in position so that
you can operate the controls easily.
The wrist should typically be aligned
straight with the arm (this position
helps you apply the amount of throt-
tle you want). Arms should be relaxed
and bent. Keep your back straight and
your head and eyes up. Keep both feet
on the pegs near the controls.
Never operate the vehicle, even for a
short distance, unless you are in the
proper riding posture.
