SAFETY WARNINGS
Here are some useful tips to make sure you always have a safe ride:
• Children, the elderly, and pregnant women should not use the Journey.
• Do not ride after drinking or taking prescription medication.
• Do not carry items when riding.
• Prior to each ride, inspect each part of the Journey to ensure it has been
maintained correctly and is functioning properly.
• Always give way to pedestrians.
• Always comply with local traffic laws and regulations. Remember, the
Journey is a motor vehicle, and is treated as such by local law enforcement.
You can and will be arrested for drunk driving. Many cities have restrictions
on where you can drive motor vehicles, as well as additional restrictions on
driving non-automobiles on streets and highways.
• Be alert to things in front and far away from you.
• Make sure your feet are always placed securely on the pedals.
• The Journey cannot be ridden by two or more people. Only one person can
ride at a time.
• When you ride the Journey along with other cyclists, always keep a safe
distance to avoid a collision.
• When turning, be sure to maintain your balance.
• Do not allow distractions when riding, such as answering the phone or
engaging in any other activities.
• Avoid riding in the rain or on smooth surfaces such as snow or ice.
• Do not ride on roads with obstacles (such as litter, small stones, etc.).
• Avoid riding in narrow spaces or on steep slopes.
• Avoid riding around flammable gas, steam, liquid, or dust that could cause
fire.
• Never operate the product barefooted and keep shoelaces tied.
• Riding with improperly adjusted brakes is dangerous and can result in
serious injury or death.
• Applying brakes too hard or too suddenly can lock up a wheel, which could
cause you to lose control and fall. Sudden or excessive application of the
front brake may pitch the rider over the handlebars, which may result in injury
or death.
