Excess weight will:
– Reduce your ability to accelerate,
brake and turn.
– Reduce the effectiveness of the
VSS.
– Increase the risk of rolling over if the
weight is high or toward the rear.
– Reduce ground clearance, increas-
ing the risk of striking low obstacles
or uneven road surfaces.
– Increase the risk of tire failure.
Operating with Extra
Weight
Carrying a passenger or heavy cargo
affects the way the vehicle handles
because of the greater weight, and be-
cause the weight distribution will be
different.
1. You will not be able to accelerate as
quickly. Allow more time and space
for passing.
2. You will not be able to stop as
quickly. Use a longer following dis-
tance from the vehicle in front of
you, at least three seconds. Use
an even longer distance if riding
conditions are not ideal (e.g., low
visibility, poor road surface).
3. You will not be able to turn as
sharply or at as high a speed. Slow
down more than usual before turn-
ing and avoid sharp turns.
4. The Spyder roadster may be less
stable. There is a greater risk of tip-
ping or rolling during extreme ma-
neuvers with weight that is higher
or farther to the rear (like a passen-
ger).
Carrying a Passenger
The Spyder roadster is designed for
only one passenger, seated behind the
operator. Never carry multiple passen-
gers.
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.
