CHARGING THE BATTERY
PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
Wheels
Periodically inspect the wheels for excessive wear.
Frame
Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken frames
are rare, it is possible for an aggressive rider to run into a curb
or object and wreck, crack or break a frame. Get in the habit of
inspecting your product on a regular basis.
Hardware/Loose Parts
Before every ride, check all parts, such as nuts, bolts, fasteners,
etc., to ensure they are secure and assembled correctly. There
should not be any unusual rattles or sounds from loose parts
or broken components. If the product is damaged, do not ride.
Reference “Safety Warnings” on pages 1 and 2 of
this manual.
Safety Gear
Always wear proper protective gear, such as an approved safety
helmet. Elbow pads, kneepads and wrist guards are recommended.
Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles) and
keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and
drive system. NEVER RIDE BAREFOOTED OR IN SANDALS.
Laws and Regulations
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations.
Insurance
Do not assume that your existing insurance policies necessarily
provide coverage for product use. Check with your insurance
company for information regarding insurance.
