Rider's training

Accidents are frequently due to inexperience.
Riding, manoeuvres and braking must be performed
in a different way than on the other vehicles.
Attention
Untrained riders or a wrong use of the vehicle
may lead to loss of control, serious injuries or even

accident.

gloves, boots, long sleeve jacket and long trousers.
