The first rule in safe riding is to use common sense. A GOTRAX Hoverkart
is vulnerable. It cannot protect you in a crash, against impact, or loss of
control the driving a car can. A GOTRAX Hoverkart can tip over sideways
or pitch you over the front wheel . It moves faster than a typical scooter. It
does not have bumpers or airbags as a car does. This section is a guide of
safe riding practices for operation. Make sure you are using your GOTRAX
Hoverkart properly.
Different localities and countries have different laws governing riding on
public roads, and you should check with local officials to ensure you are
complying with these laws.
GOTRAX Hoverkart is not liable for tickets or violations given to riders who
do not follow these regulations.
• For your safety, always wear a helmet that meets CPSC or CE safety
standards. In the event of an accident, a helmet can protect you from
serious injury and in some cases, even death.
• Obey all local laws, stop signs, pedestrian crosswalks, etc.
• If riding with friends and multiple GOTRAX Hoverkarts, ride single
file in a straight line.
• Have a satisfactory signaling device (bell, horn, etc) to warn drivers
and pedestrians of your approach.
• Ride defensively, expect the unexpected.
