WARNING: FOLLOW SAFE RIDING PRACTICES
?
OPERATOR ONLY! NO PASSENGERS!
?
Long hair, loose clothing or items worn by the rider must be covered to pre-
vent entanglement in moving parts of the vehicle or surroundings while
riding.
?
Do not exceed the weight limit. Heavier riders may significantly reduce per-
formance and/or render the vehicle unstable and/or over-tax the brakes and
other control devices. Heavier riders may cause structural damage not cove-
red by the warranty.
?
Do not touch any moving or hot parts.
?
Do not ride at night or under other low visibility conditions.
?
Do not immerse this vehicle in water.
?
Do not ride on steep or uneven surfaces. Steep or uneven surfaces greatly
increase the likelihood of loss-of-control and a fall.
?
Do not ride faster than conditions permit for safe operation. Excess speed
greatly increases the likelihood of loss-of-control and a fall.
?
The rider should be securely seated on the vehicle ready to ride with the
kickstand up before turning on the vehicle.
WARNING: WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, ESPECIALLY A HELMET AND
EYE PROTECTION
A high quality helmet approved by your county's governing body is the single
most effective way to reduce the severity of an injury in the event of an
accident.
ALWAYS use an approved helmet when riding this vehicle. As this vehicle is
intended for OFF-ROAD use, there is a very high likelihood that dirt and other
debris will be thrown into the air, presenting the risk of eye injury if protective
eyewear is not used. OFF-ROAD riding presents many hazards such as loose dirt
and gravel, obstacles and other difficult-to-see-and-avoid conditions. The possi-
bility of a fall is high. Wear wrist, knee and elbow protection. Motorcycle leathers
can prevent abrasion injuries in the event of a fall. Failure to use appropriate
safety equipment greatly increases the likelihood of death or serious injury in
the event of an accident.

RIDING INSTRUCTIONS & SAFETY TIPS (BEGINNERS AND LEARNERS)
With the bike set up correctly, your KUBERG is ready to ride! For learning riders, please use
these tips and instructions. The riders will get the most enjoyment if they feel safe and in con-
trol. Do not be tempted to start the riders too quickly. Make sure the speed is slow to begin.
For first time riders, this should be walking pace.
Stationary learning
1.
Ensure the key switch is in the off position.
2.
Lift the motorcycle on to a stand or block so the back wheel is an inch or two off the
ground.
3.
Sit the rider on the motorcycle.
4.
Explain all the controls:
a.
Throttle
b.
Front Brake (right hand side).
c.
Back Brake (left hand side).
5.
Have the rider practice each control, while the power is still off. Explain that it's time to
try some stationary practice, with the power turned on. Place the rider's feet either on
the pegs, or on the ground. Either way, make sure the rider is wearing boots with no
laces, and no loose clothing.
6.
Start with both hands on the handlebars. Instruct the rider to reach down and back with
his/her right hand and turn the key to the on position. This must always be done with the
right hand.
7.
With the power on, and the riders hands back on the bars, have the rider practice
opening and closing the throttle. The aim is to get some throttle control, and not use it as
an 'on-off' switch.
8.
While still practicing the throttle, practice using the rear brake to stop the back wheel.
Make sure that this is coordinated. The throttle and brake should not be applied simulta-
neously. UNTIL THESE SKILLS ARE MASTERED, DO NOT LET THE CHILD RIDE THE BIKE!
WARNING!
There must NEVER be a hand on the throttle when the power is
switched on. If power was switched on with the throttle open, the bike will imme-
diately and suddenly accelerate, creating a dangerous situation that could
result in serious injury or death, and damage to the motorcycle.
NOTE!
If the rider does not fully understand the controls, and demonstrate the-
se skills, do not let them ride. They can try again at a later date when they are
ready. The riders must learn at THEIR pace.
