Safety Information
General Safety Precautions
1. This is a performance scooter and should
be treated with extreme caution.
2. Proper safety gear, including a regionally approved
helmet, riding boots, gloves, and protective clothing
should be worn while riding to reduce the risk of
potential injury. We highly recommend the use of
full height riding boots since the vast majority of
scooter injuries are leg and foot injuries. It is not
recommended to ride without protective clothing;
this applies to even short journeys, and for every
season of the year.
3. Under some conditions, open or loose clothing can
have an adverse affect on driving safety.
4. Read all additional warnings and product
instructions in this owner’s manual, as well as
safety labels, before operating the electric scooter.
5. Always keep both hands on the handlebars while
riding. When riding around bends, the rider and
passenger (when applicable) should lean with the
scooter into the curve.
6. Never permit a guest to ride your electric scooter
without proper instruction. These are performance
scooters and should be treated with extreme
caution.
7. Do not ride on frozen, oily, or pitted surfaces.
Avoid potholes, surface cracks, and other obstacles.
Use additional caution when riding on poor or wet
surfaces. This scooter is not intended for
off-road use.
8. Never use alcohol or drugs before or when
operating an electric scooter.
9. Persons unwilling or unable to take responsibility
for their actions should not use this scooter. You
assume all responsibility while operating your
scooter. The seller will assume no liability for
misuse or operator negligence.
10. Prior to each use, the rider must check the charge
level of the battery as indicated on the right
instrument cluster display.
