4. Driving
Rider’s posture will greatly affect riding safety. Always keep your body’s gravity in the center of
the saddle, if your body’s gravity is on the rear part of saddle, the front wheel load will be
reduced, and this will cause the steering handle shaking. It is dangerous to ride a scooter with
an unstable handle.
Turning
• It will be much easier to make a turn if rider inclines his body inward when turning. On the
other hand, the rider will feel unstable if his body and the scooter do not incline.
Key point for turning:
① Decelerate before turning.
② Keep steady speed when turning.
③ Accelerate properly when exiting turn.
④ After exiting turn, make sure road safety then
reaccelerate.
Braking
• Apply both front and rear brake when
braking. Avoid hard/sudden braking and
keep vehicle and brake force steady.
Do not lock the brake. On well-paved road,
the front brake should be applied a bit more
than the rear. The brake force should be
adjusted according to the road condition.
Apply less front brake force on worse
road condition.
