Riding Instructions
This guide assumes that you already know how to ride a standard bicycle. Before you try
to ride an electric bicycle, you should be very familiar with controlling and balancing a
normal bicycle.
Caution
If you do not have cycling experience, an scooter is too dangerous to ride. Do not begin
learning to ride a bicycle using an scooter.
Important Notes
• Escooters are Fast! Scooters are capable of traveling at higher speeds than many
bicy- cle riders are accustomed to. Use caution at all times, especially when
travelling in mixed traffi c. Always take into account driving and traveling
conditions.
• Obey the Law. Be sure to follow all provincial and city traffi c laws. This includes
obeying stop signs, checking carefully when turning, and riding defensively. An
scooter is a motorized vehicle, even though it is classed as a bicycle. You must
fol- low the law.
• Stay Sober. Never ride your bicycle while intoxicated. An scooter is capable of
trav- eling faster than a normal bicycle, and you should always be in control of it.
• Share the Road. Be careful in mixed traffi c. When on bicycle paths, traveling near
pedestrians, or on recreational trails, try to be polite and courteous to those using
the paths with you. Scooters are new in most cities, so other users of the roads
and recreational paths may not know how to deal with scooter riders. Bear in
mind that,
in a sense, scooter riders are “ambassadors” for this new method of transportation.
Items to Carry with the Electric Scooter
It is a good idea to carry the following items with you at all times when you ride your scoot-
er.
• The charger, to charge the scooter in case the battery power runs out
• 30 Amp Fuse, spares for the batteries, in case the fuses blow
• A lock, to secure your scooter when you park it
• A helmet, as required by safety laws
