Design characteristics affect how you should operate the SLINGSHOT vehicle:

  • The SLINGSHOT is a lightweight 3-wheel motorcycle. As such, it will respond differently than other on-road vehicles in various road and weather conditions. Thoroughly read your owner’s manual and take safety training before operating the SLINGSHOT.

  • The SLINGSHOT vehicle is designed for on-road use by one operator with one passenger. The Manufacturing Information label placed on the vehicle contains the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) information. Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR.

  • Driving off-road, driving at excessive speeds, driving with more than one passenger or carrying weight exceeding the maximum weight rating can make handling difficult, which could cause loss of control resulting in serious injury or death.

  • Since the SLINGSHOT has a single, centered rear wheel, “straddling” obstacles with the front tires increases the likelihood that you will encounter the obstacles with the rear tire.

  • Read the section in this manual entitled SLINGSHOT Vehicles vs. Other On-Road Vehicles.

  • During the first 500 miles (800 km) of operation, follow all break-in procedures as outlined in the owner’s manual. Failure to do so can result in serious engine damage.
