Introduction
Before riding, take time to get acquainted with your MOTOPED® and how it works.
To protect your investment, we urge you to take responsibility for keeping your
MOTOPED® well maintained. Scheduled service is a must, of course. But it’s just
as important to observe the break-in guidelines, and perform all the preride and other
periodic checks detailed in this manual.
This operators manual contains important safety information and maintenance
information. Read it carefully before using this vehicle. Failing to follow the
warnings contained in this operators manual could result in INJURY or DEATH.
Keep this manual in a safe place. It is very important that this owners manual be
reviewed by any rider and it should remain with the vehicle when transferred to a
new owner.
All information, images and specifications contained in this manual are based on the
latest product information available at the time of publication. Due to improvements

permission from MOTOPED®.
For Off-Road Use Only
In most states and cities your MOTOPED® will be classified as a motorized bicycle.
Regulations differ from state-to-state, so be sure to educate yourself about local
regulations to determine that you're riding legally. If your state recognizes motorized
bicycles as a distinct classification, you are generally not required to license,
register, or title your MOTOPED®. Laws for motorized bicycles vary by state and
country. We recommend checking with your local DMV before purchasing and
operating your MOTOPED®.
Avoid operating this vehicle on paved surfaces including, but not limited to
highways, parking lots, sidewalks and driveways. Never operate this or any
designated off-road vehicle on a public street, road or highway where it will be in
violation of local traffic laws and restrictions.
Whenever you ride, tread lightly staying on established trails and riding only
in approved areas, you help protect the environment and keep off-road riding
areas open for the future.
Please be sure to register your MOTOPED® product and notify us of any address
changes so we may contact you in the future with any important product
information.
If you have any questions contact MOTOPED® through the MOTOPED® website.

Warranty FAQ
Q. What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period?
A. The customer’s responsibility includes all costs of normal maintenance
services, non-warranty repairs, accident and collision damage, and oil, oil filters, air
filters, spark plugs, and brake shoes or pads.
Q. What are some examples of “abnormal” strain, neglect, or abuse?
A. These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Specific examples
include: Running the machine without oil; operating the machine with a broken or
damaged part which causes another part to fail, damage or failure due to improper or
careless transportation and or tie down; and so on. If you have any specific
questions on operation or maintenance, please contact your dealer for advice.
Q. Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as towing or transportation due to
a failure?
A. No. The warranty is limited to repair of the machine itself.
Q. May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the
Owner’s Service Manual instead of having the dealer do them?
A. Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the
Owner’s Service Manual. We do however, recommend that items requiring special
tools or equipment be done by a Motoped® dealer.

Safety
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important. Operating this MOTOPED®
safely is an important responsibility.
To help you make informed decisions about safety, we have provided operating
procedures and other information in this manual. This information alerts you to
potential hazards that could hurt you or others.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all hazards associated
with operating or maintaining a MOTOPED®. You must use your own good
judgment.
Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head
injuries. So always wear an approved DOT motorcycle helmet.
We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves, and other
appropriate protective gear.
Your MOTOPED® is designed for one person only. There are no handholds,
footrests, or seat for a second person so never carry a passenger. A passenger could
interfere with your ability to move around to maintain your balance and control of
the vehicle.
Take Time to Learn
Developing off-road riding skills is a gradual, step-by-step process. Start by
practicing at lowspeeds in a safe area and slowly build your skills. Personal
instruction from an experienced rider can also be valuable.
Be Alert When Riding
The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you ride off-road. Continually
