WARNING
Proper use of your brake is vital to
ensure safe, efficient stopping. To avoid
misuse and potential injury, do not
apply sudden or excessive force to your
brakes. Apply your brakes gradually
and give yourself enough room to
come to a complete stop safely.
16
• Do not weave in and out of traffic or swerve from side to side.
• A crash can put extraordinary stress on Hover-1 Rider
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
Brakes do not work as well under wet conditions as they do when
dry. It is recommended that you do not ride your Hover-1 Rider in
wet weather, as there are electronic components of your Hover-1
Rider that may be damaged if exposed to water.
If you are riding your scooter in low-visibility conditions, ensure your
headlight is turned on, and that you are wearing bright, reflective
clothing.
Think about safety when you ride. You can prevent many accidents
if you think about safety. Below is a helpful checklist for Hover-1 Rider
riders.
SAFETY CHECKLIST
• Check your scooter before every ride, making sure brakes are
operating effectively and everything is in good working condition.
• Always keep both hands firmly on the handlebars.
• Do not ride “double” with more than one adult rider on the seat.
• Avoid riding in large groups, as this can force you to ride too close
to other riders, making it difficult to see other vehicles and road
hazards.
• Do not ride above your skill level. Ensure you have had enough
practice with all functions and features of your Rider.
• With increased speed comes increased risk. If you are moving at
a higher speed, small bumps can turn into large impacts, leading to
a higher risk of injury if an accident occurs.
