CARRYING A PASSENGER OR CARGO
Do not carry a passenger until you have
experience riding alone in a variety of
conditions and can proficiently handle
the vehicle.
The passenger must be sober, alert,
able to reach the passenger footrests
and handholds, maintain balance and
hold on in sudden maneuvers, and not
distract the operator.
Be sure the passenger is wearing ap-
propriate protective gear. The passen-
ger should wear all of the protective
gear recommended for the operator,
particularly a helmet. A full-face hel-
met is recommended; in a sudden
stop, the passenger’s face can strike
the back of the operator's helmet.
Keep the brakes applied until the pas-
senger is in riding position.
Instruct the passenger on how to ride
before starting out. Have the passen-
ger follow these rules:
1. Maintain proper riding position.
– Hold the passenger handholds
and keep feet on the passenger
footrests at all times, even with
an accessory backrest.
– The passenger should not hold
on to the operator as the operator
may not be able to withstand the
lateral force generated by both.
– Different gripping positions on
the handholds may be more com-
fortable for different maneuvers.
(e.g., one hand at the front corner
of and one hand at the opposite
back corner for turns, both hands
further forward or back for other
situations).
NOTICE
Never use handholds to
tie down, lift or transport vehicle.
2. Stay clear of the exhaust pipe and
the rear wheel.
3. Avoid turning around or leaning ex-
cept to keep balance in a turn. In an
unexpected maneuver, a passenger
who is not in the normal riding posi-
tion is more likely to fall off.
4. Watch the road and respond to up-
coming road conditions. Lean into
curves as needed to resist any side-
ways force. When crossing an ob-
stacle, hole or bump, rise slightly
off the seat without locking your el-
bows.
Avoid abrupt acceleration, braking and
turns, especially with inexperienced
passengers. Sudden, unexpected ma-
neuvers can make the passenger fall
off.
Where to Store Cargo
You can carry small personal items in
the glove box. Do not carry cargo in
any other location unless the vehicle
is equipped with approved BRP acces-
sories.
Towing a Trailer
Do not tow anything with the vehicle, it
is not designed for this application.
In addition, the VSS will not be effec-
tive, you will be more likely to lose
control.
