Posture
Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture.
1. Keep your elbows relaxed and flexible.
2. Sit and adjust yourself on seat so that arms and
shoulders are relaxed.
3. Look widely instead of gazing at one point.
Cornering
When cornering, centrifugal force works in a direction
perpendicular to the direction in which the vehicle
is moving. Centrifugal force increases in proportion
with speed and the radius of the corner.
During cornering, reduce speed so as to reduce the
effects of centrifugal force. Avoid abrupt application
of brake or sudden steering by all means.
Braking
For safe riding, it is very important to master the
braking techniques.
1. Close / release the throttle.
2. Hold the vehicle upright as you apply the brake.
3. Progressive application of brakes is safer.
4. Applying both the brakes helps you to use the full
potential of the brakes.
5. Riding down hills, while cornering and wet roads,
close throttle and come to a slower speed to
prevent skidding and to avoid the loss of control
over the vehicle.
One-hand riding is dangerous. Keep both hands firmly
on the handle bar and both feet securely on the floor
board. Under no circumstances should both the hands
be removed from the handle bar, as it is very dangerous.
Avoid use of mobile phones while riding as it could
lead to fatal accident.
Slow down to a safe speed before negotiating a corner.
If this is the first time that you are riding a vehicle of
this type, we suggest that you practice on a safe, open
area to thoroughly familiarise with the operation of the
vehicle.
