Be aware that young children can often master riding, and still will 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 also 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 to be safe.
• Wear shoes.
• Keep two hands on the handlebars.
• Never have more than one rider and never try to tow anything.
• Do not ride at night.
• Do not ride in wet weather.
• Obey all local laws about cycling.
• 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 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 your parent.
