Safe driving

Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily
basis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge
are the basis of safe riding. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic-free zones
to familiarise with it.
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
poor at the beginning. Under these conditions, it is a good idea to operate the brakes
from time to time.
4. Avoid setting off by mounting the vehicle while it is 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.
5. 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.
