I am still getting used to my Rubi. I have read the manual, although
probably not closely enough.

A few other Rubi owners have mentioned the lockers that come with the Rubi..

could you pleaseh help a newbie by answering a few questions ? ...

1. what are lockers ?
2. how are they set on my Rubi

I will reread my manual when I have a chance but I don't remember reading
anything about "lockers" and how to set them..

The lockers are for off road use. If you know what limited slip is or Posi
traction then you will figure out what lockers are. Your lockers can be
turned off and on. Do you plan on taking this Rubi off road? Join a group or
club so you can learn from some experienced people. Dont try it alone.

I second what Kevin said, see if you can get with a club and ask for a easy
or beginners trail ride, and go with some others. But to try to answer your
questions, a locker will "lock" your left and right tires together so both
will always be turning and both will always be getting power. Works great
for additional traction ( for many reason ) however when it is time to turn
a even a little you will find your vehicle will drive very different to what
you are use to.
