Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily
basis, confidently and safely. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge are the basis
of safe riding. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic-free zones in order to
acquire a good knowledge of the vehicle it self.
1. Before riding off, remember to put on your helmet and fasten it correctly.
2.Reduce speed on rough roads and ride with care.
3. After riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking can be

from time to time.
4. Do not brake hard on wet, dirt or slippery road surfaces.
5. Avoid riding off by mounting the scooter when resting on the support. In any case,
the rear wheel should not be turning when it comes into contact with the ground, in
order to avoid abrupt departures.
6. When riding the vehicle on roads with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc., we
recommend that you clean the brake disc frequently with a non-aggressive detergent
in order to avoid the formation of abrasive build-ups in the holes, which could result
in early wear of brake pads.
