WARNING:
Riding an electric motorbike can be a hazardous activity.
Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of the
manufacturer. Like other electric products, the Dirt Rocket can and is intended
to move, and it is therefore possible to lose control, fall off and/or get into
dangerous situations that no amount of care, instruction or expertise can
eliminate. If such things occur you can be seriously injured or die, even when
using safety equipment and other precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND
USE COMMON SENSE.
This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the
consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your electric
motorbike. Because any incident can result in serious injury or even death, we
do not repeat the warning of possible serious injury or death each time such a
possibility is mentioned.
APPROPRIATE RIDER USE AND PARENTAL SUPERVISION
This manual contains important safety information. It is your responsibility to
review this information and make sure that all riders understand all warnings,
cautions, instructions and safety topics and assure that young riders are able
to safely and responsibly use this product. Razor USA recommends that you
periodically review and reinforce the information in this manual with younger
riders, and that you inspect and maintain your children’s product to insure their
safety.
The recommended rider age of 12 years (Dirt Rocket) is only an estimate,
and can be affected by the rider’s size, weight or skills. Any rider unable to
fit comfortably on the Dirt Rocket should not attempt to ride it.
A parent’s
decision to allow his or her child to ride this product should be based
on the child’s maturity, skill and ability to follow rules.
Keep this product away from small children and remember that this product
is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely
comfortable and competent while operating the products.
Do not exceed 140lbs. (63kgs.) total weight on the Dirt Rocket. Rider weight
does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain
control of the Dirt Rocket.
Do not touch the brakes or electric motor on your electric motor bike when in
use as they can become very hot.
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may
affect the locations where the Dirt Rocket may be used.
Ride defensively. Watch out for potential objects that could catch your
wheel or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Be careful to avoid
pedestrians, skaters, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children or animals who
may enter your path, and respect the rights and property of others.
The Dirt Rocket is meant to be used only in controlled environments free of
potential traffic hazards and not on public streets or sidewalks. Do not ride your
electric motor bike in any areas where pedestrian or product traffic is present.
Do not activate the speed control on the hand grip unless you are on the
electric motor bike and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding.
These bikes were manufactured for performance and durability but are not
impervious to damage. Jumping or other aggressive riding can over-stress
and damage any product, including the electric motorbike, and the rider
assumes all risks associated with high-stress activity.
Be careful and know your limitations. Risk of injury increases as the degree
of riding difficulty increases. The rider assumes all risk associated with
aggressive riding activities.
Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times.
Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time to ride the
electric motor bike.
Never use near steps or swimming pools.
Keep your fingers and other body parts away from the drive chain, steering
system, wheels and all other moving components.
Never use headphones or a cell phone when riding.
Never hitch a ride with another product.
Do not ride the Dirt Rocket in wet or icy weather and never immerse the
electric motor bike in water, as the electrical and drive components could be
damaged by water or create other possibly unsafe conditions.
The Dirt Rocket is intended for use on flat, level ground without loose debris
such as rocks or gravel. Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may
impair traction and contribute to possible accidents. Do not ride the electric
motorbike in mud, ice, puddles or water. Avoid excessive speeds that can be
associated with downhill rides. Never risk damaging surfaces such as carpet
or flooring by use of an electric motor bike indoors.
Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited.
PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always wear proper protective equipment such as an approved safety helmet
(with chin strap securely buckled). A helmet may be legally required by local
law or regulation in your area. Elbow pads and kneepads, a long-sleeved shirt,
long pants and gloves are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up
shoes with rubber soles), never ride barefooted or in sandals, and keep
shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system.
USING THE CHARGER
The charger supplied with the electric motor bike should be regularly
examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts, and in the
event of such damage, the bike must not be charged until the charger has
been repaired or replaced.
Use only with the recommended charger.
Use caution when charging.
The charger is not a toy. Charger should be operated by an adult.
Do not operate charger near flammable materials.
Unplug charger and disconnect from bike when not in use.
Always disconnect from the charger prior to wiping down and cleaning your
scooter with liquid.
FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE
WARNINGS INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE WITH
APPROPRIATE CAUTION AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE
OPERATION.
