Safe Riding & Safety Precautions

NKD is a performance vehicle and should be
ridden with extreme caution

Obey all road regulations

Ride in a manner befitting road condition

Keep your hands and feet fixed firmly to the
vehicle at all times when riding

Always take extra caution at intersections, in
high traffic situations, and when lane filtering

Your safety depends in part on the good
mechanical condition of the vehicle. Follow
the Service Schedule contained in this
manual

A compliant motorcycle helmet must be
worn at all times when riding. Wearing a
rider jacket, gloves and boots is strongly
advised

Ensure that you hold the required rider
licence for your state or territory.

It is your responsibility to follow the local
road rules in your state or territory. Fonz
Moto does not accept liability for not
adhering to local road rules. Local road rules
and tips can be found on the website of your
local transport authority.

Be responsible on the road. Persons
unwilling or unable to take responsibility for

their actions should not use this vehicle. You
assume all responsibility while operating
your NKD. The seller assumes no liability for
misuse or operator negligence

Be responsible off the road. Failure to follow
Powerpack storage and charging
instructions as described in this Owner’s
Manual may void the warranty of your Fonz
vehicle. These guidelines have been
rigorously tested to ensure maximum
Powerpack efficiency and life

Never lend your vehicle to an inexperienced
rider, nor allow any individual to ride your
NKD without proper instruction of the unique
features of the vehicle

Prior to each use the rider must check
everything in the “pre-ride ride” section, and
the charge level of the power pack as
indicated on the dash display charge
indicator

Never ride in another driver’s “blind spot”

Above all, ride to live; employ common
sense in all traffic situations

What is Lithium Ion?

The PowerPack in your NKD utilises high quality
lithium technology; the forefront of rechargeable
cell technology with superior reliability,
recharging time and power to weight ratio.

The PowerPack does not develop “charge
memory” so you can recharge as frequently as it
is convenient to do so.

Lithium Ion is an environmentally sustainable,
recyclable technology and does not use heavy
metals like mercury or cadmium found in other
batteries.

Fonz Moto recycles lithium cells used in
prototyping and manufacturing in applications
such as second life.
