Electric Balancer Pre-Riding Safety
BEFORE RIDING
1. WARNING - ON AND OFF ROAD CONDITIONS: The condition of the
riding surface is very important to your safety. If the surface is wet, or has
sand, leaves, small rocks or other loose debris on the surface where you
plan to ride, carefully decrease the speed of the bicycle and ride with extra
caution. It will take a longer time and more distance to stop. Apply the
brakes sooner and with less force. Always apply the rear brake first allowing
time and distance for it to take effect. Then follow by cautiously applying the
front brake, in order to maintain control of the bicycle. Rapid front brake
application first may cause a front pitch over or fall. Learn to use your brakes
properly under controlled conditions until you learn proper braking under
all road conditions.
2. NOTICE: State and federal regulations require a full set of reflectors.
Some state and local laws may require that your bike be equipped
with a warning device, such as a horn or bell and most states require a
light. The manufacturer and many legal authorities DO NOT approve or
encourage riding at night. Vision is quite limited at dawn, dusk and at night
for bike riders, motorists and by-standers. If you must ride at night, take
extra precautions, use front and rear lights, wear flashers on your arms,
wear light-colored clothing, and plan your route to ride in well lighted areas
avoiding heavy traffic areas.
3. NOTE: Always wear shoes when riding a bicycle and avoid loose
fitting clothes. Wear a cuff band or trouser clip to keep pants or other loose
clothing from getting caught in the chain wheel. Long sleeves, long pants,
gloves, eye protection, a CPSC approved helmet, elbow and knee pads are
recommended. Helmet use is required by law in many states and is always a
good idea for your safety.
