Quad Bikes Perth - Bike Safety
People across the country are in agreement that quad bikes Perth provide a great opportunity to have fun. Racing around, bouncing off hills and chasing sheep across the farm are all daily activities for people who love using quad bikes for work and pleasure. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that if not used properly quads can injure or even kill riders who don’t take pay attention or follow a simple set of guidelines. Fifty-cc or 250cc quad bikes are powerful off-road vehicles and need to be treated as such.
The most important trick of staying safe on a quad bike is wearing the correct gear. First and foremost is the helmet. Helmets come in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes, so the fashion conscious won’t have to put safety in second place. Helmets will protect your head and neck if you fall, and visors or goggles will protect the face from stones or dirt. Reinforced boots, pads and clothing, can prevent scratches and grazing.
Riding a quad bike in Perth requires concentration and care just like driving a car. Some of the same rules apply, like don’t operate a quad bike while under the influence of alcohol or drugs and keep your hands on the bars at all time. Common sense also needs to be taken into account. Don’t turn, especially sharp turns, if moving at a high speed, don’t use the brakes while turning and keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the person in front of you.
