SAFETY
Safe Riding Gear
Always wear clothing suited to the type of riding you are doing.
Riding this vehicle requires special protective clothing which will
make you feel more comfortable and reduce chances of injury.
1. Helmet
Your helmet is the most important
piece of protective g ear for safe
riding. A helmet can prevent a
serious head injury.
Select an approved helmet w hich
meets or exceeds your state’s
safety standards and bears either
the Department of Transportation
(DOT) label, the American
National Standards Institute label
(ANSI Z90.1), or the Snell
Memorial Foundation label.
2. Eye Protection
Do not depend on sunglasses for
proper eye protection. A pair of
goggles or helmet face shield offer
the best protection for your eyes.
They should be kept clean and be
of shatterproof design (bearing the
markings Z2.1 or VESC 8).
3. Gloves
Off-road style gloves with knuckle pads are the best for comfort and
protection.
4. Boots
The best footwear is a pair of s trong over the calf type boots with heels
such as moto cross boots.
5. Clothing
To protect your body, long sleeves and pants should always be worn.
Riding pants with kneepads, a jersey and shoulder pads provide the
best protection.
