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
insure 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.
Learn to steer your scooter by shifting your
weight in the direction of the turn. (Lean into the
turn)
Use your front & rear brakes to control your
speed and to stop. Sudden braking force can
cause the vehicle to start sliding. To regain
control, release the braking pressure until you
have regained control of the vehicle.
When the road surface is wet, the braking
distance is double that of when the road surface
is dry.
Keep a safe distance between yourself and the
vehicle in front of you.
