Always wear a helmet. Wearing a helmet properly may reduce the risk
of a severe head injury. When riding, always wear a helmet that meets
or exceeds the standards of the Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC).
•
Ensure your helmet fits your head and is properly secured.
•
Always read your helmet manual to make sure your helmet is properly
adjusted for your head according to the fitting instructions provided by
your helmet manufacturer.
•
A proper fitting helmet should be comfortable and not rock forward/
backward or side to side.

The helmet should sit level to protect your forehead and should not
have more than a 2 finger gap from your eyebrows.

wear
your helmet tipped back to expose your forehead or angled left or
right.

Adjust straps so sliders are below and in front of the ear on both
sides.

Buckle chin strap. Adjust strap so no more than two fingers fit
between the strap and your chin.

Elbow pads and knee pads are recommended for additional protection.

Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles), never ride
barefooted or wearing sandals. Keep shoelaces tied and away from the
wheels and the drive system.

BE AWARE OF SKATEBOARD REGULATIONS IN YOUR AREA.

same as local Personal Mobilty Device (PMD) regulations or those for
a standard skateboard. There may be local differences such as where
you can ride, minimum rider age, or required equipment and registration
regulations. It is your responsibility to know the local regulations that
apply to an electric skateboard for the area you intend to ride and to obey
them.

DO NOT RIDE ON BUSY ROADS WITH LINE MARKINGS.
