16. SAFE DRIVING TIPS FOR SCOOTER USERS

Scooters fall into two categories, Class 2 which is essentially a 4mph pavement vehicle and can only legally be
used on the road when either crossing over or because there are no footpaths. A Class 3 vehicle is capable of 4
and up to 8 mph and provided it is fitted with front and rear lights, flashing indicators, horn and rear view mirror it
is legal for use on the road. It can also be used on the footpaths but must not exceed 4 mph. Class 2 & 3
vehicles must not be driven on Dual Carriageways, Motorways, Bus Lanes or Cycle Tracks. Your Sonet is a
class 3 vehicle capable of 4 & 6 mph.
INSURANCE - There is no legal requirement for insurance but it is a very good idea to have cover for fire and
theft, accidental and malicious damage, and also third party damages. Just phone Karen at TGA (01787
882244) and she will talk you through it.
BREAKDOWN & GET YOU HOME SERVICE - Again a very good idea and can take a load of worry off your
mind. Just talk to Karen.
MOBILE PHONE - An essential item if you are out there alone. You never know, breakdown, accident, health -
communication is a must.
CARRYING LOADS
Do not overload. It may make the vehicle unstable and reduce its range. Place heavy loads inboard – in the
middle – not behind the back wheel which can lighten the steering or can cause the front end to lift off the road
on a bump, and not at the front which might make steering heavy.
WATCH YOUR BRAKES
Never try to drive, or even sit on your vehicle while it is in "free wheel". The electronic brake will be out of action
and the vehicle could run away with you.
MAINTENANCE
Do carry out the checks listed in this manual regularly and also have the machine serviced at least once a year.
TYRES
Keep tyres at the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. They will last longer and be safer. Replace
when they become worn.
