1.4 Protective
Measures
For maximum safety when riding the E-Bikeboard, it is extremely important to take
certain protective measures:
Throttle
Never use the throttle unless you are standing with both feet on the E-Bikeboard
platform and are fully ready to ride.
Turning Components
Turning wheels are a high risk for injury. Hands, feet, body parts and clothes should
under no circumstances be close to turning wheels. To prevent injury, never touch
any moving or turning parts.
Collapsible Frame
Special precaution must be used with the collapsible frame, especially when
folding up the folding stem into the riding position, as well as when folding out the
platform for the riding position. You risk injuring fingers, hands or other parts of your
body.
Beware of Hot Brake Discs
Do not touch brake discs during or immediately after use, as they can get very hot
when used.
Be Prepared to Stop
At any point in time during the use of the E-Bikeboard, the rider must be alert and
prepared to stop. Special care must be taken as soon as other people or vehicles
are close by.
