GENERAL WARNING:
Scooter riding can be a hazardous activity.
Scooters can, and are intended to move and it is therefore possible to get
into dangerous situations and/or lose control and/or fall. If such things
occur you can be seriously injured or die. LIKE ANY OTHER MOVING
PRODUCT, USING A SCOOTER CAN BE A DANGEROUS ACTIVITY AND MAY
RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH EVEN WHEN USED WITH PROPER SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
• Always wear safety equipment such as a helmet, knee pads and elbow
pads. Always wear a helmet when riding your scooter and keep the
chinstrap securely buckled.

• Ride on smooth, paved surfaces away from motor vehicles.
• Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and sudden surface changes.
Scooter may suddenly stop.
• Avoid streets and surfaces with water, sand, gravel, dirt, leaves, and
other debris. Wet weather impairs traction, braking, and visibility.
• Do not ride at night.

scooter, adjust handlebar and steering to height, and finally to fold
scooter.

and preteens should ride with adult supervision at all times.
• Rider weight does not necessarily mean a child’s size is appropriate to fit
or maintain control of the scooter.
• A parent’s decision to allow his or her child to ride this product should be
based on the child’s maturity, skill and ability.
• Refer to the section on safety for additional warnings.
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Direct parental supervision is required. Scooters are meant to be used only
in controlled environments free of potential traffic hazards and not on public
streets. Do not allow your child to ride a scooter in any areas where vehicle

flat, clean and dry surfaces such as pavement or level ground without loose
debris such as rocks or gravel. Wet, slick or uneven and rough surfaces may
impair traction and contribute to possible accidents. Do not ride a scooter in
mud, ice, puddles or water. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated
with downhill rides. Never risk damaging surfaces such as carpet or flooring
by use of a scooter indoors. Do not ride at night or when visibility is impaired.

or regulation in your area. A child should always wear shoes, never ride
barefooted or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of
the wheels.
