WARNING!
Improper set-up is dangerous! It is your responsibility to set the
motorcycle to the ability of the rider. Failure to do so could result in serious injury
or death, and damage to the motorcycle.
NOTE!
As the responsible adult, you must ensure that the KUBERG and its rider
are ready to ride, every time. The bike must be set to the abilities of the rider,
and you must ALWAYS supervise when, where and how the bike is ridden.
Children can lose concentration quickly, and be distracted easily. If the speed is
set too high or the brakes too severe then loss of control could result.
BE SAFE!

WARNING: THROTTLE AND SPEED CONTROL
The fully electric drivetrain of this motorcycle is different than any gas counter-
part:
?
There is very little engine braking and no engine noise
?
When going into corners or coming to a stop the rider will be fully dependent
on his brakes
?
It is easy to find yourself speeding due to the absence of engine noise
?
Passerby will not hear your approach – be extra cautious because of this
?
Be aware that your motorcycle is still ON during stops and while at and “idle”.
Accidently twisting the throttle can cause serious harm.
