SCOOTER SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Wear a helmet
Make yourself easy to see
Know your limits
Your scooter can provide many years of service and pleasure, if you take responsibility for
your own safety and understand the challenges that you can meet on the road. There is
much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You will find many helpful
recommendations throughout this manual. Following are a few that we consider most
important.
Scooter safety equipment starts with a quality helmet. One of the most serious injuries that
can happen is a head injury. Always wear a properly approved helmet. You should also
wear suitable eye protection.
To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself so other
drivers can see you, signal before turning or changing lanes, and use your horn when it will
help others notice you.
Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Knowing these limits and staying
within them will help you to avoid accidents.
1
Keep your scooter in safe condition
Inspection before riding
Be extra safety conscious on bad weather days
odification
For safe riding, it's important to inspect your scooter before every ride and perform all
recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits, and only use accessories that have
been approved by KYMCO for this scooter.
Do not forget to perform an entire safety inspection to ensure the safety of the rider.
Riding on bad weather days, especially wet ones, requires extra caution. Braking distance
double on a rainy day. Stay off of the painted surface marks, manhole covers and greasy
appearing areas as they can be especially slippery. Use extreme caution at railway
crossings and on metal gratings and bridges. Whenever in doubt about road conditions,
slow down.
M
Modification of the scooter, or removal of original equipment may render the vehicle unsafe
or illegal. Obey all applicable equipment regulations in your area.

PROTECTIVE APPAREL
Helmets and protection
Additional riding gear
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an approved scooter helmet,
eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you
ride.
Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the best protection
against head injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely. Always wear
a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles.
Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and
bruises.
A scooter riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection. Bright-colored and
reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure to avoid loose
clothes that could get caught on any part of your scooter.
