Your Moped and You
Congratulations on your new Cruze moped! If you ride safely
and maintain your moped, you will enjoy many miles of happy
riding.
Safety
1. Read this manual completely before operating your moped.
2. Inspect your moped before riding.
3. The rider should possess the type of license required by local
regulations.
4. Obey traffic regulations.
5. Ride defensively and maintain a safe distance from other
vehicles.
6. Wear bright clothing so other drivers can see you.
7. Don't cut into other lanes or weave. Don't exceed the speed
limit or ride faster than is safe for the road conditions. When it is
raining, the road surface may be slippery - reduce speed.
8. Be aware of the weather and road conditions. Wet roads can
be very slippery, especially painted lines. Braking distances will
be significantly longer.
9. Use turn signals or hand signals when turning or changing
lanes.
10. Use caution when riding through intersections and
entering/exiting parking lots
11. Ride with both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the
footrests. Passengers should hold onto the passenger handles
securely and keep both feet on the footrests.
Protective Apparel
The operator should wear protective apparel, such as a
DOT-approved helmet, gloves, and eye protection. Passengers
should also wear a helmet. Refer to local regulations. Loose
clothing should not be worn. The exhaust system gets very hot
during operation - do not touch the exhaust pipe when hot. The
operator and passenger should wear trousers and shoes/boots
that protect ankles and feet.
Loads and Accessories
1. The total weight of the operator, passenger and luggage
should not exceed the maximum load of the moped (See:
Specifications). The maximum load for the storage
compartment beneath the seat is 22 lbs. The maximum load for
the rear luggage rack or box is 10 lbs.
2. Items carried on the rear luggage rack should not block the
taillight. Keep the weight of items on the luggage rack low and
close to the centerline of the moped. This weight distribution will
make it easier to control the moped.
3. Adjust the tire pressure according to the weight of items
being carried and driving conditions.
4. Luggage should be secured to the moped and checked
frequently to ensure it has not shifted.
