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)
  • Watch out for cars pulling out quickly from hidden driveways

    **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
