RIDER USE AND REQUIRED PARENTAL SUPERVISION
RIDERS MUST NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 120 pounds (54 kg).
The age grade for the scooter is for ages 8 and older. Just because someone is
within the age and weight limitations specified for the scooter, does not mean that
his/her size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the scooter or that he/she is
capable of safely operating the scooter. You are the best judge of whether you or
your child can safely operate the scooter; this includes determining whether your
child is at the appropriate developmental stage for safe use of the scooter. Any
rider that is unable to fit comfortably on the scooter should never attempt to ride it.
A parent’s decision to allow their child to use the scooter should be based on the
child’s maturity, skill and their ability to follow rules. Keep this scooter away from
small children and remember that it is intended for use only by persons who are, at a
minimum, able to comfortably and safely operate the scooter.
Children operating the scooter should be supervised by an adult at all times. Parents
should ensure that children only use the scooter safely and within their age and
physical limits.
This manual contains very important safety information. It is your responsibility to
