SAFE RIDING TIPS
Posture
Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture.
1. Keep your elbows relaxed and flexible.
2. Sit and adjust yourself on seat so that the arms
and shoulders are relaxed.
3. Look widely instead of gazing at one point.
4. Keep the knees close to the fuel tank.
Cornering
When cornering, centrifugal force works in a direction
perpendicular to the direction in which the vehicle is
moving. Centrifugal force increases in proportion with
speed and the radius of the corner.
During cornering, reduce speed so as to reduce the
effects of centrifugal force. Avoid abrupt application
of brake or sudden steering by all means.
Warning
One-hand riding is dangerous. Keep both hands
firmly on the handle bar and both feet securely on the
foot rest. Under no circumstances should both the
hands be removed from the handle bar, as it is very
dangerous.
Avoid use of mobile phones while riding as it could
lead to fatal accident.
Do not downshift the gears in the midst of cornering.
Slow down to a safe speed before negotiating a
corner. If this is the first time that you are riding a
vehicle of this type, we suggest that you practice on a
safe, open area to thoroughly familiarise with the
operation of the vehicle.
