Safety Information
Crash avoidance starts with the basic maneuverability of your
vehicle: how well can it brake, steer, and accelerate. The SOLO
provides the ability to maneuver nimbly. In addition, it has
torque-limiting traction control to help prevent the drive wheel
from operating at high levels of slip during acceleration and
turning situations.
The SOLO has a full complement of standard features like
power steering, power brakes, and a conventional spring/shock
suspension system. It does not currently have seat belt
pretensioners, anti-lock brakes, or air bags that are sometimes
offered on other vehicles.
The vehicle does have a roll bar as well as triple side-impact
door reinforcement.
Like all electric vehicles, the high-voltage battery in the SOLO
can present electrical and fire hazards, particularly if a collision
damages the electrical system. The SOLO Emergency
Response Guide and Emergency Response Card provide
detailed information on safely responding to such emergencies.
These documents are made available to first responders so that
they can be prepared to assist in an emergency. Both
documents can be found at:

Driver Requirements
Drivers who cannot comfortably reach the controls and adjust
the seat or seat belt properly should not operate the SOLO.
For more information on these topics, see:
“Correct Seating Position”, page 3-1
To determine proper vehicle loading for your SOLO, always
refer to the Tire and Loading Information label on the vehicle.
For more details, see
“Vehicle Load Limits”, page 2-3
.
Licensing
In some jurisdictions (including Nebraska as of 2021), a
motorcycle license is required to operate the SOLO. Check
your state and local regulations.
Helmet
While most jurisdictions do not require a helmet for operators
of enclosed three-wheeled vehicles, some jurisdictions
(including Nebraska as of 2021) may required you to wear a
helmet. Check your state and local regulations.
