SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The first rule of safe riding is to use common sense. The Raptor cannot protect you in a crash, against impact,
or from loss of control the way a car can. The Raptor can tip over sideways or pitch you over the front wheel
if you don’t ride it properly. Please read the following safety precautions to operate your Raptor safely.
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.
Hover-1 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 you are riding with other riders, maintain a safe distance between each other to avoid collisions.
• Ride defensively; expect the unexpected.
• Give pedestrians the right-of-way.
• Do not ride too close to pedestrians. Alert them if you intend to pass them from behind.
• Slow down at all street intersections and look to the left and right before crossing.
•Obey all traffic signals.
• Always use proper hand signals for turning and stopping. Give signals 100 ft before stopping or turning and
always return both hands to the handlebars before stopping or turning.
• Watch for cars when pulling into traffic and watch for the sudden opening of car doors.
• Avoid potholes, drainage grates, or other hazards.
• Be careful when riding on soft road edges, gravel, sand and uneven surfaces. Ride slowly and avoid quick
turns when riding on these surfaces.
• Never hitch onto other vehicles.
• Do not attempt any stunts or tricks with the Raptor. Do not race in traffic.
• Do not weave in and out of traffic or swerve from side to side.
• A crash can put extraordinary stress on Raptor’s components, possibly causing them to fatigue
prematurely. Components suffering from stress fatigue can fail suddenly, causing loss of control or
serious injury.
CAUTION: RIDING IN WET WEATHER
It is recommended that you do not ride your Raptor in wet weather, as the electronic components of the
hoverboard may be damaged if exposed to water. Stopping distances can be longer in wet conditions than
in dry conditions.
