BEFORE YOU RIDE
Before you ride always check the following:
Safety Gear:
Always wear proper protective gear such as:
• Approved safety helmet. (Helmet may be legally required by local law or
regulation in your area.)
• Elbow pads, knees pads and wrist guards
• Long sleeved shirt, long pants
• Gloves
• Lace up shoes with rubber soles
Brakes:
Check the brake for proper function. When lever is squeezed it should
slow/stop the rear wheel without excessive effort. When you apply the brake with
the throttle on, the brake cut off switch should stop the motor. Make sure that the
brake is not rubbing when the lever is not being squeezed. Do not ride the off-road
electric scooter if the brake is not functioning properly.
Throttle:
Once the power switch is placed in the “ON” position, twist the throttle
to engage the motor; the off-road electric scooter will move. Make sure that before
the throttle is twisted you are in an open and safe area to ride, you are balanced on
the off-road electric scooter and have both hands on the handlebar controls.
Tires:
Inspect the wheels/tires for excess wear and replace if necessary. Regularly
check the tires pressure and re-inflate as necessary.
Frame, Fork and Components:
Always carefully inspect your off-road electric
scooter before you ride. Check for cracks, broken, worn or loose components
which should be repaired or replaced before your ride.
Battery:
Always make sure the power switch is in the “off” position whenever the
vehicle is not in use. Never store the product in outdoor conditions, never store it
in the rain, and never store the product in freezing or below freezing temperatures.
These low temperatures will permanently damage the battery.
WARNING:
Your off-road electric scooter comes with a variable speed
throttle. Always remember to twist it slowly or gradually; DO NOT quickly twist the
throttle to its end until you feel comfortable on the off-road electric scooter and
with your speed. If you twist the throttle quickly at first, you will accelerate rapidly
and may get thrown from the off-road electric scooter and risk serious injury or
death. (Doing it will also decrease your battery life).
WARNING:
Always ensure that you are in a safe flat open area to ride
before you engage the throttle. Never twist the throttle without being on the
off-road electric scooter in a balanced, ready to ride position with both hands on
the handlebar controls. Failure to follow these instructions may damage your
off-road electric scooter and void your warranty.
WARNING:
An off-road electric scooter that does not work properly can
cause you to lose control and fall. Inspect the entire off-road electric scooter
thoroughly before every ride, and do not ride the off-road electric scooter until any
problem has been corrected.
