parking to prevent it from tipping over. It is
recommended that you put down the side stand
before you dismount your Vectrix to park.
ALWAYS avoid parking on sand, gravel or soft
surfaces.
Become familiar with the handling of the Vectrix
before carrying a passenger. You should instruct
your passenger about safety on a Vectrix.
A passenger should have his hands on the
passenger grab rail or wrapped around the driver
of the Vectrix at all times that the Vectrix is in
motion.
Never permit an inexperienced rider to ride on or
drive your Vectrix. You are responsible for telling
them about Vectrix safety and safe handling.
ALWAYS use your turn signals to identify your
intent to change lanes or turn.

Safe riDinG
These safety tips are useful and may save your life
in case of a potential accident. Please read and
understand these tips before riding your Vectrix.
Defensive driving is more important on a Vectrix
versus in a car. Always wear protective gear, but
understand that protective gear cannot totally protect
you in the event of an accident.
Always use turn signals to alert other drivers of
your intentions. Use caution in bad weather when
roads become wet and slippery. Sudden braking can
cause the Vectrix to become unstable and cause an
accident.

When riding, Vectrix suggests that you always wear
a safety helmet. Studies have shown that there is
a direct correlation between head injury and a lack
of helmet use (NHTSA Traffic Safety Facts, October,
2007). It is recommended that you wear above-
ankle boots and that you wear eye goggles when not
wearing a full helmet. Without eye protection wind
and debris could get into your eyes and cause an
accident.
