Riding two on our small (and smaller) machines can be more complicated than it seems. Indeed, to ensure the pleasure of driving at two, the driver of the scooter must review his driving and briefly brief his passenger on some essential points.
It should be noted that there is a notable difference between solo driving and dual driving and for good reason, the overall mass and the center of gravity are fundamentally altered (Eh ... yes physics is everywhere), The more attention must be paid to the apprehension of his passenger, who sometimes rides for the first time on a two-wheeler.
It is essential to behave responsibly, as long as you are in charge.
It is recommended to follow these few points of common sense and that will allow you to make a pleasant journey safely.
Rule # 1: Be a pedagogue, brief your passenger on the use of the helmet (closure of the jugular ...) and on clothes to wear (quid on tongues and shorts).
Rule # 2: Establish a communication code to know when everything is going well and when something is wrong.
Rule # 3: Have your passenger use the hand grips (if available).
Rule # 4: adapt your driving, because more weight causes a change of behavior of the scooter, the speed of entry in turn must be revised downwards, braking becomes less effective, accelerations less frank and consumption Also increases (a point to be taken into account given the autonomy of small animals).
In general, therefore, it is necessary to:
Drive more cautiously,
Anticipate braking and overtaking (more difficult),
Expand the trajectories.
Keep in mind that you are morally responsible but also legally responsible for your passenger, so you must respect these few rules because it is your security.
