Braking technique
The braking ability on your Texas Off-Roader is important. Without brakes it would be
difficult to stop the vehicle. Texas Off-Roader is equipped with front and rear brake.
Please find some good braking tips:
Let go of the throttle control.
Press both brakes at the same time.
Avoid forceful braking when you turn.
Brake gently when you ride on slippery surface.
Turning technique
It is important to know how you turn your Texas Off-Roader, when you ride.
Please find some good turning tips:
Move your body weight forward and to the inner side of the turning angle.
Turn the handlebar, while you are looking in the direction you are turning.
If you increase your speed or turn more sharply, you must move your weight even
more towards the inner side of the turning angle in order to keep the balance.
If your Texas Off-Roader starts to tip when you are turning, you must not panic.
Move your body even further towards the inner side of the turning angle while you
gradually let go of the throttle control and make the turn wider.
Riding on hills and hillsides
It is important to know how you control your Texas Off-Roader on hills and hillsides. If you
do not ride your vehicle correctly on hills you can loose control and the vehicle can tip.
Try not to ride uphill when the hill is too steep for your riding skills or for the Texas
Off-Roader.
Make sure you have a good view and that you can see what is in front of you. If you
cannot look over the top of the hill, you shall reduce the speed until you have a
good view.
If you ride uphill, you have to move your weight forward. When you ride downhill
you have to move your weight backward.
When you approach a hill you have to keep your feet on the footplate. Increase the speed
before you ride uphill in order to maintain the speed, and when you are close to the top of
the hill, you shall lean forward.
If you do not have enough speed to reach the top, but have enough speed to turn safely
and ride downhill, you must do the following:
Move your weight forward uphill.
Turn before you lose speed.
Ride downhill slowly, move your weight backwards.
Try not to ride backwards downhill. If you start rolling backwards downhill, you must not
suddenly press the rear brake. If you use the rear brake it can make your vehicle tip
