SCOOTER SAFETY
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
For your safety, always wear an approved scooter
or scooter helmet, eyes protection, boots, gloves,
long pants, and a long-sleeve shirt or jacket during a
ride.
Helmets and protection
The helmet is the most important gear because it
offers the best protection against head injury. The
helmet should fit your head comfortably and
securely. Always wear a face shield or goggles to
protect eyes, but not to interfere with the vision.
Additional riding gears
In addition to the head and eyes protection, you
should also use:
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect
feet and ankles.
Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and
prevent blisters, cuts, burns and bruises.
A scooter suit is designed for comfort as well as
protection. Bright color with reflection strips can
make you more noticeable. Be sure to avoid loose
clothes that could get caught on any part of the
vehicle.

①
Wear gloves

Clothes should be fit properly

Always wear a helmet with eye protection
