If anyone is injured or in danger

Call the emergency services first. Tell MASHI afterwards, with the time, the place and the vehicle number.

  • Check the tyres, brakes and lights.
  • Wear shoes that stay on your feet.
  • Never ride under the influence of alcohol or medication.

On the road

  • Give way to pedestrians. Dismount where it is crowded.
  • Road edge or marked lane. Never the pavement.
  • Wear something light-coloured after dark.

Parking

If something goes wrong

  1. Stop somewhere safe, out of traffic.

  2. If anyone is hurt, call the emergency services.

  3. Report it in the app: vehicle number, time, place.

  4. Leave the scooter parked. Do not ride a vehicle you reported.
