Congratulations!
You have purchased an excellent product. Owning
a miniZüm means you are going to go places
faster and hop off at your destination looking as
fresh as you did when you hopped on. Not only will
you ride around safely and turn heads as you pass,
but you’ll also make a statement about renewable
energy and your contribution to decreasing air
pollution. Most of all, owning a miniZüm means you
like to have fun and inject joy into your daily life, like
züming past traffic gridlock on your way to work. So
enjoy! But before you züm off, make sure to read
this manual from the front to back cover to learn
how to stay safe, how to maintain your new ride and
how to maximize your enjoyment. Let’s begin!

Safety First!
General Warning: Scootering can be a hazardous
activity. Scooters can and are intended to move,
and as such it is possible to get into dangerous
situations and/or lose control and/or fall. If such
things occur you can be seriously injured or
die. LIKE ANY OTHER MOVING PRODUCT,
SCOOTERING CAN BE A DANGEROUS
ACTIVITY AND MAY RESULT IN INJURY
OR DEATH EVEN WHEN PROPER SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS ARE FOLLOWED. USE
COMMON SENSE, AND AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Safety Warnings and Rules
1. Always wear a bicycle helmet.
2. Follow all traffic laws including lights, signs
and signals.
3. Before your first ride, complete the
adjustments described on page five.
4. Ride on smooth surfaces away from motor
vehicles.
5. Use the bell to alert others of your presence
when passing cyclists, pedestrians and parked
cars.
6. Always wear shoes that will stay on your feet
when kicking. Do not scoot barefoot or with
open sandals.
7. Use reflectors and lights (a white light in front
and a red in back) so you can be better seen
when riding at night or in limited visibility.
