PLEASE STAY ON HIGHLIGHTED ROADS OF PROVIDED MAP

• Carry your driver’s license

• Wear eye protection and helmet

• Riding double is dangerous, against the law and may damage the moped

• Ride single file, and not too close (allow cars to pass)

• DO NOT IMPEDE TRAFFIC – if traffic behind is unable to pass, pull over and stop

• If you want to stop in mid-travel, GET OFF THE ROAD! Pull off in a safe place

• Pass carefully (you and the one you pass may scare easily)

• Stay off all private, chained, posted roads (you will be ticketed)

  **If you have a Discovery Pass, it is helpful to bring it to avoid paying the $10 pass fee at Lime Kiln Lighthouse**

  MOPED SAFETY AND INFORMATION

• Gas Information – USE PREMIUM UNLEADED

• 70 miles approximately per tank

• All equipment must be refilled before returning

• Never ride a moped unless you are wearing a helmet and protective eye wear

• Baskets or luggage racks are for lightweight items only – make sure cargo is secure

• Place both hands on the handle bars and both feet on the platform while riding

• Obey all federal and local laws and regulations while riding

• Do not open and close throttle rapidly – this could cause possible loss of control of the moped (to accelerate, open throttle gradually, for deceleration close the throttle)

• When slowing down the moped, coordination of the throttle and the front and rear brake is most important

• Use mirrors at all times

• Never take your hands off the handle grips; the moped will become very unstable

• Use your turn indicators (they won’t click off automatically)

• ROAD CONDITIONS – VERY IMPORTANT!

• 25 mph to 30 mph are the perfect sightseeing speeds.

• Pot holes are everywhere please watch out for them.

• Please keep eyes on the road!

• Loose gravel and gravel roads are like ice (loose gravel builds up at all forks, intersections and driveways)

• Very narrow shoulders on most roads

• Be aware of traffic behind you – use your mirrors. DON’T TURN YOUR HEAD!!

• Your chances of a mishap are greatly decreased at a lower speed

• If you don’t feel comfortable, don’t go!

• BRAKING PROCEDURES

• No clutch lever, no shifting gears

• Left hand lever (rear brake)

• Right hand lever (front brake)

• At low speeds and tight maneuvering, keep hand on left (rear) brake

• Use both brakes evenly when stopping abruptly

• Use extreme caution when braking on gravel and wet roads

• Never jam on either brake (you may cause a skid)

• When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose surfaces, exercise extreme caution when braking

• When descending a steep grade, close the throttle slowly and use both brakes to slow the moped down

• Both front and rear brakes should be applied together

• Independent use of only the front or rear brake reduces stopping performance

• Excessive brake application may cause either wheel to lock, reducing control of the moped
