4.5. START SLOW. Initial rides should be slow and in an open and safe environment. Read
Section 3 of this manual and practice accelerating , coasting , turning , and braking at
slow speeds before increasing your speed, riding on hills, etc.
4.6. KNOW WHERE TO RIDE. The ZBoard does not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle
Standards and is not intended for operation on public streets, roads or highways. Do
not operate the ZBoard in traffic or near pedestrians or other vehicles. Skateboarding
and Electric Skateboards are regulated by state and local laws, which vary by location.
As a rider,
you are responsible for knowing the specific requirements, laws, and
regulations in your area . Consult local authorities before use.
4.7. WEAR FLAT, RUBBER SOLED SHOES. Appropriate footwear is required to correctly
interface with the ZBoard’s footpads. Shoes with raised heels alter the rider’s weight
distribution and sandals do not securely attach to your feet. Because of the possible
need to dismount the ZBoard quickly, never ride barefoot or without proper shoes.
4.8. ONLY RIDE DURING DAYLIGHT. Riding at night is extremely dangerous. Poor visibility
makes it difficult to see obstructions, and makes it difficult for others to see you.
4.9. AVOID UNEVEN SURFACES, WET SURFAFCES, OBSTRUCTIONS, POTHOLES, CRACKS,
AND PUDDLES.
Riding on uneven surfaces can lead to loss of balance, traction, or
other sudden unforeseen movement. Avoid puddles, sprinkler runoff, and other wet
conditions at all costs to keep electronics and bearings dry.
NEVER RIDE IN THE RAIN .
Riding in the rain or other wet conditions can lead to dangerous situations including a
slippery deck surface, limited traction, and reduced visibility for both the rider and
pedestrians or vehicles nearby. Riding your ZBoard in the rain will void your warranty
and likely lead to damage to both electronics and moving parts.
4.10. DO NOT ATTEMPT TRICKS OR STUNTS. Ride in control at all times and never attempt
tricks or stunts. The combination of power and weight make your ZBoard a potentially
hazardous device. Improper use can result in property damage, serious injury, or even
death. Understanding all of its features and controls is necessary for safe riding. The
user of this product assumes all risks associated with its use.
