General Safety Precautions
•
This is a performance motorcycle and should be
treated with extreme caution.
•
Proper safety gear, including a regionally approved
helmet, eye protection, 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 motorcycle injuries are leg and foot
injuries. It is not recommended to ride without the
correct protective clothing; this applies to even short
journeys and to every season of the year.
•
Read all additional warnings and product instructions in
this owner’s manual, as well as safety labels, before
operating your electric motorcycle.
•
Never permit a guest to ride your electric motorcycle
without proper instruction.
•
Never use alcohol or mind-altering drugs before
operating your electric motorcycle.
•
Persons unwilling or unable to take responsibility for
their actions should not use this motorcycle. You
assume all responsibility while operating your
motorcycle. The seller assumes no liability for misuse
or operator negligence.
•
Prior to each use the rider must check everything in the
“every ride” column of the maintenance schedule on
page 6.2 , and the charge level of the power pack as
indicated on the dash display charge indicator.
•
Your safety depends in part on the good mechanical
condition of the motorcycle. Be sure to follow the
maintenance schedule and adjustment requirements
contained in this manual. Be sure you understand the
importance of checking all items thoroughly before
riding.
•
Modifications to the motorcycle may render the vehicle
unsafe and may cause severe personal injury. Zero
cannot be held liable for non-approved modifications.
•
Be very careful when loading or adding accessories to
your motorcycle. Large, bulky, or heavy items may
adversely affect the handling and performance of your
motorcycle.
