Loading
Adding accessories or cargo to your
scooter can adversely affect stability
8
and handling if the weight distribution
of the scooter is changed. To avoid
9
the possibility of an accident, use ex-
treme caution when adding cargo or
accessories to your scooter. Use extra
care when riding a scooter that has
added cargo or accessories. Here,
along with the information about ac-
cessories below, are some general
guidelines to follow if loading cargo to
your scooter:
The total weight of the operator,
passenger, accessories and cargo
must not exceed the maximum load
limit. Operation of an overloaded
vehicle could cause an accident.
Maximum load:
156.5 kg (345 lb)
When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:
●
Cargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and close
to the scooter as possible. Se-
curely pack your heaviest items
as close to the center of the ve-
hicle as possible and make sure
to distribute the weight as evenly
as possible on both sides of the
scooter to minimize imbalance or
instability.
● Shifting weights can create a
sudden imbalance. Make sure
1-3
that accessories and cargo are
securely attached to the scooter
before riding. Check accessory
mounts and cargo restraints fre-
quently.
• Properly adjust the suspen-
sion for your load (suspension-
adjustable models only), and
check the condition and pres-
sure of your tires.
• N e v e r a t t a c h a n y l a r g e o r
heavy items to the handlebar,
front fork, or front fender. Such
i t e m s c a n c r e a t e u n s t a b l e
handling or a slow steering re-
sponse.
● This vehicle is not designed to
pull a trailer or to be attached
to a sidecar.
