Turning the Vehicle
Both rear wheels drive equally at all times. This means that the outside wheel must travel a greater distance than the inside wheel when turning, and the inside tire must slip traction slightly.
-
Slow down.
-
Never turn quickly when carrying cargo.
-
Steer in the direction of the turn.
-
Keep both feet on the footrests.
-
Lean your upper body to the inside of the turn while supporting your weight on the outer footrest. This technique alters the balance of traction between the rear wheels, allowing the turn to be made smoothly. The same leaning technique should be used for turning in reverse.
- Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds.
