THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE POSSIBLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
•
POLYURETHANE WHEELS DO NOT PERFORM WELL ON WET PAVEMENT
OR ANY OTHER WET SURFACE.
POLYURETHANE LOSES TRACTION ON MOST WET SURFACES, AND WATER ON THE WHEELS CAN DRAMATICALLY
REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BRAKES. RIDING IN ANY WET CONDITION IS NOT RECOMMENDED. IF YOU
MUST, PLEASE TAKE A LOT OF EXTRA CAUTION TO REDUCE THE GREAT POTENTIAL FOR SLIDING OUT.

THE BRAKES OR EVEN CAUSING THEM TO FAIL. EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED WHEN RIDING
ON ANY HILL.
