SAFETY INFORMATION
Important Safety Information
Take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you can meet while riding.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You'll find many helpful recommendations throughout this manual. The
following are a few that we consider most important.
Always Wear a Helmet
Helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries, so always wear an approved motorcycle helmet and make sure your
passenger does the same. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, motorcycle boots, gloves, and other protective gear.
Learning how to ride your motorcycle
Take time to become familiar with how this motorcycle works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you build your skills and get accustomed
to the motorcycle's size and weight.
Because many accidents involve inexperienced or untrained riders, we urge all riders to take a certified course approved safety learning class.
Developing off-road riding skills is a gradual step-by-step process. Start by practicing at low speeds in a safe area and slowly build your skills.
On-Road Riding
The most frequent motorcycle collision happens when a car turns left in front of a motorcycle. Another common situation is a car moving
suddenly into your lane.
Always pay attention to other vehicles around you, and do not assume that other drivers see you. Be prepared to stop quickly or make an
evasive maneuver.
Make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself so other drivers can see you, signal before turning or changing
lanes, and use your horn when it will help others notice you.
Be Alert for Off-Road Hazards
The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you ride off-road. Continually "read" the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks,
ruts and other hazards. Always keep your speed low enough to allow time to see and react to hazards.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Ride Within Your Limits
Pushing limits is another major cause of motorcycle accidents. Never ride beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant.
Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue, and inattention can significantly reduce your ability to make good judgments and ride safely.
Don't Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding don't mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with
every additional drink. So don't drink and ride, and don't let your friends drink and ride either.
Keep Your TBR7 In Safe Operating Condition
It's important to keep your motorcycle properly maintained and in safe riding condition. Having a breakdown can be difficult, especially if you
are stranded off-road far from help. To help avoid problems, inspect your motorcycle before every ride and perform all recommended
maintenance. Never exceed load limits.
Modification
Modifying your motorcycle or using non OEM parts or accessories can make your motorcycle unsafe. Before you consider making any
modifications or adding an accessory, be sure to read the following information.
Improper accessories or modifications can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner's manual regarding accessories and modifications.
Tao Motor recommends that you use only genuine OEM accessories that have been specifically designed and tested for your motorcycle.

• Motorcycle boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles.
•Leather gloves to help protect your hands.
•A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection.
Bright-colored and reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in traffic. A void loose clothes that could get caught on any part
of your motorcycle.
Rider Training
Developing your riding skills is an on-going process. Even if you have ridden other motorcycles, take time to become familiar with how this
motorcycle works and handles. Practice riding the motorcycle in a safe area to build your skills. Do not ride in traffic until you get
accustomed to the motorcycle's controls, and feel comfortable with its size and weight.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Helmets and Eye Protection
A helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the best protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit your
head comfortably and securely. A bright-colored helmet and reflective strips can make you more noticeable in traffic.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more. Regardless of the style, look for a DOT (Department of
Transportation) sticker in any helmet you buy (USA only). Always wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
Warning
Not wearing a helmet increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger always wear a helmet, eye protection, and other protective apparel when you ride.
On-Road Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
