QGIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY

Scooters are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and freedom.
However, they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best scooter does not
ignore the laws of physics.
1
Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving value and operating condition of your
scooter. Moreover, what is true for the scooter is also true for the rider: good performance depends on
being in good shape. Riding under the influence of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of course, out of
the question. Scooter riders—more than car drivers—must always be at their mental and physical
best. Under the influence of even small amounts of alcohol, there is a tendency to take dangerous
risks.
Protective clothing is as essential for the scooter rider as seat belts are for car drivers and passen-
gers. Always wear a complete motorcycle suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant synthetic
materials with protectors), sturdy boots, motorcycle gloves and a properly fitting helmet. Optimum pro-
tective wear, however, should not encourage carelessness. Although full-coverage helmets and suits,
in particular, create an illusion of total safety and protection, motorcyclists will always be vulnerable.
Riders who lack critical self-control run the risk of going too fast and are apt to take chances. This is
even more dangerous in wet weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely, predictably and defensive-
ly—avoiding all dangers, including those caused by others.
Enjoy your ride!

Further safe-riding points

Safe-riding points
8 Be sure to signal clearly when making turns.

8 Braking can be extremely difficult on a wet road. Avoid hard braking, because the scooter could 1
slide. Apply the brakes slowly when stopping on a wet surface.
8 Slow down as you approach a corner or turn. Once you have completed a turn, accelerate slowly.
8 Be careful when passing parked cars. A driver might not see you and open a door in your path.
8 Railroad crossings, streetcar rails, iron plates on road construction sites, and manhole covers
become extremely slippery when wet. Slow down and cross them with caution. Keep the scooter
upright, otherwise it could slide out from under you.
8 The brake pads could get wet when you wash the scooter. After washing the scooter, check the
brakes before riding.
8 Always wear a helmet, gloves, trousers (tapered around the cuff and ankle so they do not flap),
and a bright colored jacket.
8 Do not carry too much luggage on the scooter. An overloaded scooter is unstable.

The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpect-
edly, even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leak-
age or loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thor-
ough visual inspection, to check the following points before each ride.
