GENERAL WARNING:
Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to allow
your child to ride a Hotwalk, you assume the responsibility for that risk, so you need to
know — and to practice — the rules of safe and responsible riding and of proper use and
maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of your child’s Hotwalk reduces risk of injury.
This Manual contains many “Warnings” concerning the consequences of failure to
maintain or inspect your child’s Hotwalk and of failure to follow safe cycling practices.
The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word WARNING indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Many of the Warnings say “you may lose control and fall”. Because
any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the
warning of possible injury or death.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which can occur while
riding, this Manual makes no representation about the safe use of the Hotwalk under
all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of the Hotwalk which cannot be
predicted or avoided, and which are the sole responsibility of the parent.
WARNING: Protective equipment should be worn. Not to be used in traffic. The
Hotwalk should only be used under direct supervision of an adult. Protective
equipment (helmet, gloves, knee and elbow pads, etc.) should be worn when
riding the Hotwalk.
Specialized requires that all repair/replacement of parts be performed by an Authorized
Specialized Dealer.
A SPECIAL NOTE TO PARENTS:
As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and safety of your minor child,
and that includes making sure that the Hotwalk is properly fitted to the child; that it is in good
repair and safe operating condition; that you and your child have learned and understand the
safe operation of the Hotwalk; that your child can put both feet on the ground, control the
direction and stop; and that you have learned, understand and obey not only the applicable
local motor vehicle, bicycle and traffic laws. As a parent, you should read this manual.
WARNING: Make sure that your child always wears a bicycle helmet when
riding; but also make sure that your child understands that a bicycle helmet is
for bicycling only, and must be removed when not riding. A helmet must not be
worn while playing, in play areas, on playground equipment, while climbing
trees, or at any time while not riding a bicycle. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: The Hotwalk is designed to be ridden by children under parental
supervision at all times. Do not allow your child to ride in streets/traffic on the
Hotwalk. Do not allow your child to cross streets on the Hotwalk. The Hotwalk
is only intended for sidewalk use. Avoid areas involving automobiles and
obstacles/hazards including hills, curbs, stairs, sewer grates, drop-offs or
pools.
WARNING: The Hotwalk is intended for children 2 to 4 years old and
weighing less than 40 pounds.
