SAFETY
We want you to have fun riding your 2×2, but it is
important that you follow all safety instructions
outlined in this section. The 2×2 is a powerful vehicle
and should always be operated safely and with caution.
Always ride the 2×2 within its loading and gradient
limits as described in this chapter.
Always follow your local o-road laws and regulations.
Protective apparel
As with all o-road vehicles, basic safety apparel
should be worn to protect yourself.
You MUST always:
• Wear a helmet that fits well, is securely fastened
and provides good all-round visibility.
• Wear sturdy, fully enclosed shoes to protect
your feet and ankles.
• Wear adequate protective clothing to protect
yourself should you take a fall.
We also recommend you:
• Make yourself easy to see by wearing reflective
or bright clothing.
• Wear gloves to protect yourself from knocks
and scrapes.
• Wear eye protection to protect yourself
from branches, stones and any other
external elements.
Riders
We recommended that only one person rides on
the 2×2 at any one time. This bike is designed
for o-road use, so you do not need a licence to
operate. We do not advise that young children or
inexperienced drivers operate the 2×2.
Loading limits
Improperly loading your 2×2 can
aect its stability and handling.
Ride with caution when your
bike is loaded up.
• We recommend you do not
exceed your body weight in
cargo or over 150kg total.
• Up to 100kg load, it is
estimated that the maximum
gradient is 25%.
• With loads exceeding 100kg,
max and continuous gradients
must be reduced accordingly.
• Estimated limits for various
gradients are illustrated here.
For perspective, Baldwin St,
in Dunedin, NZ is the world's
steepest street at 19° or 35%.
