HYOSUNG TE 100 Manual page 32

As you approach the end of the practice
area, you should again tell the rider to stop
the vehicle, apply the parking brake, and
get off so you can turn it around for him/her.
Practice this exercise until your child can
start off, accelerate, cruise and stop
correctly and with confidence.
■ ■ STEP 4 - TURNING
After your child has learned to ride the
『TE100 / 90』 in a straight line and can stop
it when he/she wants to, you should teach
the child how to turn the vehicle.
Explain the proper body movements for
turning, and let your child PRACTICE
FIRST WITH THE ENGINE OFF, as you
push the vehicle from behind.
When turning, watch to make sure your
child:
1. Shifts his/her weight slightly forward and
supports his/her weight on the outer
footrest.
2. Leans his/her upper body into the turn
and turns the handlebars in the direction
of the turn.
When the rider is able to properly turn the
『TE100 / 90』in both directions with the
engine off, he/she should practice with the
vehicle under power. Again, make sure that
the throttle limiter is adjusted to provide a
low maximum speed capability. Watch
closely to make sure the rider is using the
proper turning technique. The rider should
practice turning until he/she can do it
correctly and with confidence.
■ ■ STEP 5 - PUTTING IT ALL
When your child has mastered the basic
riding maneuvers in the previous steps,
he/she should practice putting them all
together. Instruct the rider to perform
various maneuvers such as turning right,
turning left, stopping, parking, etc. Mix up
the order of these maneuvers so the child
will not know what he/she will be asked to
do next. Practice this exercise until you are
confident that the rider has mastered all the
basic maneuvers.
The above steps will help the first time rider
learn the most basic riding techniques. To
become a skilled rider, your child will need
a great deal of practice and instruction after
these steps have been completed. Be
patient with your child; take extra time when
teaching him/her additional techniques
such as the recommended techniques for
climbing and descending hills.
After your child has mastered all of the
basic riding techniques at slow speeds, you
can adjust the throttle limiter to provide
higher speed capabilities, according to the
rider' s skill and experience.
