Cautions in rainy weather:
in rainy weather, it is hard for a tire to grip the road. Also, it is hard to secure the safety of the rider
and other car drivers due to low braking power and unclear visibility. Wet roads increase the risk of
accidents. Ensure the product is only used at low speeds and learn how to stop safely on a wet road,
by braking gently.
Suggestions for a night ride:
riding Mando Footloose at night is more dangerous than riding it during day time. Try to avoid riding at
night or in early mornings since a rider cannot be seen by other car drivers or pedestrians. For a ride at
night or in early mornings, use lights and wear safety accessories.
Use a light during a night ride.
Check regularly if the rear reflector is well attached to the product.
Do not remove the rear reflector. It is necessary for safety. Without the rear reflector, an accident may
be caused because a rider cannot be seen by car drivers or pedestrians. If you collide with a car, you
may be critically injured and even die. For a night ride, keep the following suggestions in mind:
- Wear a helmet that has reflective stripes on it. Attach a safety light to your body and Mando Footloose.
