WARNING:
Riding a Pocket Mod does present potential risks and
caution is required. Like any riding product, the Pocket Mod has inherent
hazards associated with its use (for example, falling off or riding it into a
hazardous situation). Like any riding product, the Pocket Mod can and is
intended to move and it is therefore, of course, possible to lose control or
otherwise get into dangerous situations. Both children and adults responsible
for supervising them must recognize that if such things occur, a rider can
be seriously injured or die, even when using safety equipment and other
precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
WARNING: PARENTAL AND ADULT
RESPONSIBILITY AND SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY:
Because products, like the Pocket Mod, can and do present potential hazards
plainly associated with their use, it is well recognized THE NEED FOR
EXERCISE OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN SELECTING RIDING PRODUCTS
APPROPRIATE TO THE AGE OF A CHILD, OR PARENTAL SUPERVISION IN
SITUATIONS IN WHICH CHILDREN OF VARIOUS AGES MAY HAVE ACCESS
TO THE SAME RIDING PRODUCTS, IS IMPORTANT. Not every product is
appropriate for every age or size of child, and different age recommendations
are found within this category of product which are intended to reflect the
nature of the hazards and the expected mental or physical ability, or both, of a
child to cope with the hazards.
The recommended minimum rider age is 13 and older.
Any rider unable
to fit comfortably on the Pocket Mod should not attempt to ride it. 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 to follow rules.
Keep this product away from small children and remember that it is
intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely
comfortable and competent while operating the Pocket Mod.
Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them
susceptible to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities
to recognize, understand, and follow safety instructions and to be able to
understand the hazards inherent in Pocket Mod use, should not use or be
permitted to use products inappropriate for their abilities. Persons with heart
conditions, head, back or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to these areas of the
body), or pregnant women, should be cautioned not to operate such products.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 170 lb (77 kg). Rider weight
does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or
maintain control of the Pocket Mod.
CHECK AND MAINTAIN PRODUCT CONDITIONS
Before use, check to confirm that any and all chain guards or other
covers and guards are in place and in serviceable condition. Check that
the brake is functioning properly, and that tires are inflated properly and
have sufficient tread remaining. The Pocket Mod should be maintained and
repaired in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, using
only the manufacturer’s authorized replacement parts, and should not
be modified from the manufacturer’s original design and configuration.
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations, which may
affect the locations where the Pocket Mod may be used. Keep safely
away from cars and motor vehicle traffic at all times, and only use
where allowed and with caution.
Do not activate the speed control on the hand grip unless you are on the
Pocket Mod and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding.
The normal powered top speed of the Pocket Mod will be approximately 15
mph (24 kmh), which can be affected by conditions, such as rider weight,
inclines, tire inflation and battery charge level. Avoid excessive speeds that
can be associated with downhill rides.
Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times. Do not touch the brakes or
motor on your Pocket Mod when in use or immediately after riding as these
parts can become very hot.
Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your
wheel or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Be careful to avoid
pedestrians, skaters, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children or animals who
may enter your path, and respect the rights and property of others.
The Pocket Mod is intended for use on flat, dry surfaces, such as pavement or
level ground, without loose debris, such as sand, leaves, rocks or gravel. Wet,
slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may impair traction and contribute to
possible accidents. Do not ride your Pocket Mod in mud, ice, puddles or water.
Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel or force you
to swerve suddenly or lose control. Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and
sudden surface changes.
Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks on the Pocket Mod. The Pocket Mod is not
made to withstand abuse from misuse, such as jumping, curb grinding or any
other type of stunts. Racing, stunt riding, or other maneuvers also enhance risk
of loss of control, or may cause uncontrolled rider actions or reactions.
Never allow more than one person at a time to ride the Pocket Mod.
Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited.
Never use near steps or swimming pools.
Do not allow hands, feet, hair, body parts, clothing, or similar articles to
come in contact with moving parts, wheels, or drivetrain, chain while the
motor is running.
Never use headphones, a cell phone or text when riding.
Never hitch a ride with a vehicle.
Do not ride your Pocket Mod in wet or icy weather and never immerse
the Pocket Mod in water, as the electrical and drive components could be
damaged by water or create other possibly unsafe conditions. Never risk
damaging surfaces, such as carpet or flooring, by use of the Pocket Mod
indoors.
