Which of the following are proper safety checks to do before riding?

• A. Keep tires properly inflated
• B. Check front and rear brakes, throttle & cables for kinks
• C. Test horn and all lights
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Before riding, you want a clear sense that the moped will respond predictably and you’ll be visible and heard. Keeping tires properly inflated helps with grip, stability, and reduces the chance of a sudden flats or tire failure. Checking front and rear brakes, along with the throttle and cables, ensures you can stop reliably and that there’s no throttle sticking or cable snag that could cause a loss of control. Testing the horn and all lights makes sure you can alert others and stay seen in traffic or in low-light conditions. Because each check targets a separate safety risk—handling, control, and visibility—performing all of them is the safest, most complete pre-ride routine.
