SAFE RIDING PRACTICES AND WARNINGS
Be aware that young children can often master riding, and still lose their balance
and fall while at play. So part of your supervision is that they not leave the scooter
or other toys around the ground where they play as they may fall on them. It is your
responsibility to maintain the scooter after correctly assembling it.
Children should be made aware of all possible riding hazards and correct riding
behavior before they take off on the scooter. Please explain to them as often as
necessary:
• Always wear a helmet and other safety equipment.
• Always keep the chin strap on the helmet securely buckled.
• Observe the age and weight limitations on the cover of this manual.
• Young children must be supervised by an adult at all times to be safe.
• Always wear shoes.
• Keep two hands on the handlebars at all times.
• Never have more than one rider and never try to tow anything.
• Do not ride at night.
• Do not ride in wet weather. Wet weather impairs traction, braking, and visibility.
• Obey all applicable, local laws when riding the scooter.
• Do not ride near swimming pools, ditches or drop offs.
• Brakes get hot from use, do not touch them after use.
• Always ride on smooth surfaces or gentle slopes and avoid too much speed.
• Do not ride on surfaces with sand, gravel, dirt, leaves, or other debris.
• Do not ride on streets, around cars, on hills, barefoot, or in skateboard or vehicle
traffic.
• Speed is a danger, avoid excessive speed going down hill; also avoid stunts,
jumps and bumps.
• Avoid sharp turns, bumps, drainage grates, trick stages, ramps, half pipes,
skateboard parks, or empty swimming pools.
• Regularly check brakes, grip ends, and steering connections and do not ride if
parts are broken or worn until fixed or replaced by an adult.
