This Vadovas gathers the basics so you can ride safely and avoid a fine.
Why a scooter in the centre
In a city with dense traffic and limited parking, a Mažas two-wheeler saves Laikas. It is easy iki manoeuvre, parks in a Mažas space and usually has low Degalai consumption. For trips within the city a 125cc with an Automatiškai gearbox is enough.
It is not for Visi, though. If you have not ridden for a while or have Ne experience of traffic in a big city, Pradžia Įjungta quiet roads and at quiet times.
Traffic and peak valandos
Peak valandos in the morning and afternoon are difficult for beginners. Keep your distance nuo the Transporto priemonė ahead, because Automobiliai brake suddenly, and watch for the durys of parked Automobiliai Atidarymas.
Do not squeeze between moving Automobiliai and do not rely Įjungta being seen. Always assume the Kita driver has not noticed you are there, and signal before you change lane.
Bus lanes, pedestrian streets and zones

Narrow and steep streets

Wet roads and manhole covers are slippery. Brake early and gently, and do not brake hard in a bend.
Where iki park
Park where it is permitted and not where "Visi does it". Do not Blokas pedestrian crossings, ramps for people with disabilities, entrances and bus stops, and do not leave the scooter where it obstructs pedestrians. Rules and enforcement differ by Zona, so follow the signs.
If Yra special bays for two-wheelers, prefer them. Ask the Nuomos punktas for practical advice and about what applies iki fines, because fines usually fall Įjungta the renter.
Theft and security
Užrakinti the steering every Laikas you get Išjungta and use the anti-theft Užrakinti if the Nuomos punktas gives you one. Park in a well-lit, Matoma spot and, if possible, secure the scooter iki a fixed object.
Do not leave your Šalmas, documents or Kita things Įjungta the seat. In Nuoma, loss or theft usually carries an excess for the renter, so read the terms before you book.
Before you set Išjungta
Wear a Šalmas Įjungta every ride, Patikra the brakes, lights and mirrors, and adjust the seat. Do not Pradžia unless you feel confident: try Įjungta a quiet road.
