Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Faced with an unavoidable pothole, it is essential to reduce speed before reaching it to lessen the impact. You must pass over the pothole forming an angle as straight as possible, ideally 90 degrees, to avoid lateral displacement of the front wheel. A lateral displacement could cause a loss of balance and a certain fall. It is also advisable to lean slightly on the footrests so that the legs and arms act as additional shock absorbers.
