WARNING: Riding an electric scooter does present potential risks and
caution is required. Like any riding product, an electric scooter has inherent
hazards associated with its use (for example, falling off or riding it into a
hazardous situation). Like any riding product, electric scooters can and are
intended to move and it is therefore, of course, possible to lose control or
otherwise get into dangerous situations. Both children and adults responsible
for supervising them must recognize that if such things occur, a rider can
be seriously injured or die, even when using safety equipment and other
precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
WARNING: PARENTAL AND ADULT
RESPONSIBILTY AND SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY:
Because products, like electric scooters, can and do present potential
hazards plainly associated with their use, it is well recognized THE NEED
FOR EXERCISE OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN SELECTING RIDING
PRODUCTS APPROPRIATE TO THE AGE OF A CHILD, OR PARENTAL
SUPERVISION IN SITUATIONS IN WHICH CHILDREN OF VARIOUS AGES
MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME RIDING PRODUCTS, IS IMPORTANT.
Not every product is appropriate for every age or size of child, and different
age recommendations are found within this category of product which are
intended to reflect the nature of the hazards and the expected mental or
physical ability, or both, of a child to cope with the hazards.
The recommended rider age is 8 and older. Any rider unable to fit
comfortably on the scooter should not attempt to ride it. A parent’s decision
to allow his or her child to ride this product should be based on the child’s
maturity, skill and ability to follow rules.
Keep this product away from small children and remember that it is
intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely
comfortable and competent while operating the scooter.
Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them
susceptible to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities
to recognize, understand, and follow safety instructions and to be able
to understand the hazards inherent in scooter use, should not use or be
permitted to use products inappropriate for their abilities. Persons with
heart conditions, head, back or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to these
areas of the body), or pregnant women, should be cautioned not to operate
such products.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 120 lbs (54 kg). Rider weight
does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or
maintain control of the scooter.
CHECK AND MAINTAIN SCOOTER CONDITIONS
Before use, check to confirm that any and all chain guards or other
covers and guards are in place and in serviceable condition. Check that
the brake is functioning properly, and that tires are inflated properly and
have sufficient tread remaining. The scooter should be maintained and
repaired in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, using
only the manufacturer’s authorized replacement parts, and should not
be modified from the manufacturer’s original design and configuration.
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND
CONDITIONS
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations, which may
affect the locations where the electric scooter may be used. Keep
safely away from cars and motor vehicle traffic at all times, and only
use where allowed and with caution.
Do not activate the speed control on the hand grip unless you are on the
scooter and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding. The electric
scooter must be moving 3 mph before the motor will engage.
The normal powered top speed of this scooter will be approximately 10 mph
(16 kph), which can be affected by conditions, such as rider weight, inclines,
tire inflation and battery charge level. Avoid excessive speeds that can be
associated with downhill rides.
Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times. Do not touch the brakes or
motor on your scooter when in use or immediately after riding as these parts
can become very hot.
Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel
or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Be careful to avoid pedestrians,
skaters, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children or animals who may enter your
path, and respect the rights and property of others.
The electric scooter is intended for use on flat, dry surfaces such, as pavement
or level ground, without loose debris, such as sand, leaves, rocks or gravel.
Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may impair traction and contribute
to possible accidents. Do not ride your scooter in mud, ice, puddles or water.
Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel or force you
to swerve suddenly or lose control. Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and
sudden surface changes.
Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks on your electric scooter. The scooter is not
made to withstand abuse from misuse, such as jumping, curb grinding or any
other type of stunts. Racing, stunt riding, or other maneuvers also enhance risk
of loss of control, or may cause uncontrolled rider actions or reactions.
Never allow more than one person at a time to ride the scooter.
Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited.
Never use near steps or swimming pools.
Do not allow hands, feet, hair, body parts, clothing, or similar articles to
come in contact with moving parts, wheels, or drivetrain, chain while the
motor is running.
Never use headphones or a cell phone when riding.
Never hitch a ride with a vehicle.
Do not ride your scooter in wet or icy weather and never immerse the scooter
in water, as the electrical and drive components could be damaged by water or
create other possibly unsafe conditions. Never risk damaging surfaces, such as
carpet or flooring, by use of an electric scooter indoors.
PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet
(with chin strap securely buckled), elbow pads and kneepads. A helmet may
be legally required by local law or regulation in your area. A long-sleeved
shirt, long pants, and gloves are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes
(lace-up shoes with rubber soles), never ride barefooted or in sandals, and keep
shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system.
USING THE CHARGER
The charger supplied with the electric scooter should be regularly examined
for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts. In the event of such
damage, the scooter must not be charged until the charger has been repaired
or replaced.
Use only with the recommended charger.
Use caution when charging.
The charger is not a toy. Charger should be operated by an adult.
Do not operate charger near flammable materials.
Unplug charger and disconnect from scooter when not in use.
Do not exceed charging time.
Always disconnect from the charger prior to wiping down and cleaning your
scooter with damp cloth.
FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE WARNINGS
INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE WITH APPROPRIATE
CAUTION AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION.
