Driving your Beamer
Your Beamer was manufactured to meet all Federal
D.O.T. regulations. State and local regulations govern
the use of this class of vehicle. Check with your local
DMV office before riding this vehicle on the highway.
Set yourself in a comfortable position on the seat with
both hands on the handlebars. Ensure that you have an
unobstructed operating area from which to control
your Beamer. When carrying a passenger, always
ensure that they place their feet on the passenger
pedals. Always keep your feet on the footrests and
your hands on the handlebar grips while operating
your Beamer. Doing so will give you the best control of
the unit.
Be sure that you and your passenger are NOT wearing
loose fitting clothing that could become entangled in
the moving parts of the vehicle. Start the vehicle in a
forward motion by slowly increasing the throttle
pressure. Never place more than 12lbs / 5kg load on
the rear rack. Doing so may cause the vehicle to
become unbalanced and cause an unsafe driving
condition.
Never carry anything on the handlebars or your lap
while driving your vehicle. Doing so can cause a loss of
control over the vehicle.
